​ Acquisitions ​ In January 2024, we acquired a 16-acre site in Paris for $80 million. Prior to the acquisition, we leased the land, which consisted of two completed data centers and two data centers under construction. As a result of the land acquisition, we derecognized the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of $145 million and $150 million, respectively. ​ In July 2024, the Company acquired two data centers located in the Slough Trading Estate for $200 million. The newly acquired campus features two individual data centers with a combined capacity of 15 megawatts (MW). ​ Dispositions ​ On January 11, 2024, we formed a joint venture with Blackstone Inc. to develop four hyperscale data center campuses across Frankfurt, Paris and Northern Virginia. The campuses are planned to support the construction of 10 data centers with approximately 500 megawatts of potential IT load capacity. The first phase of the joint venture closed on hyperscale data center campuses in Paris and Northern Virginia, while the second phase is scheduled to close in the fourth quarter of 2024, subject to obtaining the required approvals. We received approximately $231 million of net proceeds from the contribution of our data centers to the first phase of the joint venture and retained a 20% interest in the joint venture. As a result of transferring control, we derecognized the data centers and recognized a loss on disposition of approximately $0.3 million. In January 2024, we closed on the sale of our interest in four data centers to Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P., or Brookfield, for approximately $271 million. Two of the data centers were consolidated by us; while two of the data centers were owned by Digital Core REIT (see Note 5. “Investments in Unconsolidated Entities”). The sale was completed subsequent to Brookfield’s November 2023 acquisition of one of our customers, Cyxtera Technologies. The acquisition was part of Cyxtera’s plan of reorganization under its Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. In conjunction with the sale, we bought out Cyxtera’s leases in three data centers located in Singapore and Frankfurt for approximately $57 million. In addition, Brookfield assumed the leases on three facilities previously leased to Cyxtera and amended the leases on three additional data centers in North America, accelerating the expiration date to September 2024. As a result of the sale, we recognized a total gain on disposition of approximately $203.1 million, of which $194.2 million is included within Gain on disposition of properties, net and $8.9 million is included within Equity in (loss) earnings of unconsolidated entities on our condensed consolidated income statements. On March 1, 2024, we formed a joint venture with Mitsubishi Corporation, or Mitsubishi, to support the development of two data centers in the Dallas metro area. The facilities were 100% pre-leased prior to construction. We contributed the two data center buildings at a contribution value of approximately $261 million. We received approximately $153 million of gross proceeds from the contribution of our data centers to the joint venture and retained a 35% interest in the joint venture. Mitsubishi paid such cash in exchange for a 65% interest in the joint venture. As a result of transferring control, we derecognized the data centers and recognized a gain on disposition of approximately $7.1 million. On April 16, 2024, we expanded our existing joint venture with GI Partners with the sale to GI Partners of a 75% interest in a third facility on the same hyperscale data center campus in Chicago. We contributed the data center at a value of approximately $453 million. We received approximately $386 million of net proceeds from the contribution of our data center to the joint venture and the associated financing and retained a 25% interest in the joint venture. As a result of transferring control, we derecognized the data center and recognized a gain on disposition of approximately $172 million. During our second quarter 2024 impairment review, we determined that certain non-core properties in secondary U.S. markets had carrying amounts that may not be fully recoverable as we determined that we no longer intend to hold these properties long-term. Accordingly, the recorded amounts were reduced to reflect management’s estimate of fair value based on sales of similar properties and ongoing negotiations with third parties. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded a provision for impairment on real estate investments of $168.3 million.
