In conjunction with the acquisition of the Archstone Multifamily Partners AC LP (the "U.S. Fund"), Multifamily Partners AC JV LP (the "AC JV") and Brandywine Apartments of Maryland, LLC ("Brandywine"), the Company incurred costs in excess of its equity in the underlying net assets of the respective investments. These costs represent $30,221,000 and $31,188,000 at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, of the Company's respective investment balances. These amounts are being amortized over the lives of the underlying assets as a component of equity in income of unconsolidated real estate entities on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Investments in Consolidated Real Estate Entities During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company acquired four consolidated communities:
• | Avalon Southlands, located in Aurora, CO, which contains 338 apartment homes and was acquired for a purchase price of $91,250,000.
• | Avalon Cerritos, located in Cerritos, CA, which contains 132 apartment homes and was acquired for a purchase price of $60,500,000. The acquisition of Avalon Cerritos was facilitated through a tax-deferred exchange as the replacement property for Archstone Lexington, which was sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as further discussed in Note 6, "Real Estate Disposition Activities." Archstone Lexington was acquired by the Company as part of the Archstone acquisition in 2013, and was subject to both limitations related to disposal of the community, as well as for there to be a required level of secured financing as a result of the tax structured contribution of the assets to the prior Archstone partnerships. The Company maintained compliance with the tax protection requirements when selling Archstone Lexington by facilitating the sale through the tax-deferred exchange, acquiring and encumbering Avalon Cerritos. See Note 3, "Mortgage Notes Payable, Unsecured Notes and Credit Facility," for further discussion of indebtedness associated with Archstone Lexington and Avalon Cerritos.
• | Portico at Silver Spring Metro, located in Silver Spring, MD, which contains 151 apartment homes and was acquired for a purchase price of $43,450,000.
• | Avalon Bonterra, located in Hialeah, FL, which contains 314 apartment homes and was acquired for a purchase price of $90,000,000.
The Company accounted for these as asset acquisitions and recorded the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, including identifiable intangibles, at their relative fair values based on the purchase price and acquisition costs incurred. The Company used third party pricing or internal models for the values of the land, a valuation model for the values of the buildings, and an internal model to determine the fair values of the remaining real estate assets and in-place leases. Given the heterogeneous nature of multifamily real estate, the fair values for the land, debt, real estate assets and in-place leases incorporated significant unobservable inputs and therefore are considered to be Level 3 prices within the fair value hierarchy. As of September 30, 2019, the Company intends to proceed with the sale of the residential condominiums of The Park Loggia development, which is currently under construction and contains 172 for-sale residential condominiums and 67,000 square feet of retail space for a projected total capitalized cost of $626,000,000. The Company expects to complete construction of both the residential and retail components of this development during 2019. The Company incurred $1,108,000 and $339,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $2,526,000 and $497,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, in marketing and administrative costs associated with The Park Loggia, included in for-sale condominium marketing and administrative costs, on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. As of September 30, 2019, the for-sale residential condominiums have an aggregate carrying value of $453,686,000, consisting of both completed units and units that are under construction, included in for-sale condominium inventory on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company recognized a deferred tax liability and corresponding income tax expense of $6,645,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 for the GAAP to tax basis differences of The Park Loggia, which will be realized by the Company upon disposition of its investment. See Note 1, "Organization, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies," for further discussion of the income tax associated to The Park Loggia development. Expensed Transaction, Development and Other Pursuit Costs and Casualty and Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company capitalizes pre-development costs incurred in pursuit of new development opportunities for which the Company currently believes future development is probable ("Development Rights"). Future development of these Development Rights is dependent upon various factors, including zoning and regulatory approval, rental market conditions, construction costs and the availability of capital. Initial pre-development costs incurred for pursuits for which future development is not yet considered probable are expensed as incurred. In addition, if the status of a Development Right changes, making future development by the Company no longer probable, any capitalized pre-development costs are expensed. The Company expensed costs related to the abandonment of Development Rights and costs for pursuits where development is not yet considered probable, as well as costs incurred in pursuing the acquisition or disposition of assets for which such acquisition and disposition activity did not occur, in the amounts of $175,000 and $523,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $2,562,000 and $2,212,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. These costs are included in expensed transaction, development and other pursuit costs, net of recoveries on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Abandoned pursuit costs can vary greatly, and the costs incurred in any given period may be significantly different in future periods. The Company evaluates its real estate and other long-lived assets, including for-sale condominium inventory, for impairment when potential indicators of impairment exist. Such assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization, unless the carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable. If events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a property or long-lived asset may not be recoverable, the Company assesses its recoverability by comparing the carrying amount of the property or long-lived asset to its estimated undiscounted future cash flows. If the carrying amount exceeds the aggregate undiscounted future cash flows, the Company recognizes an impairment loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the property or long-lived asset. Based on periodic tests of recoverability of long-lived assets, the Company did not recognize any impairment losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. The Company assesses its portfolio of land held for both development and investment for impairment if the intent of the Company changes with respect to either the development of, or the expected holding period for, the land. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not recognize any impairment charges on its investment in land. The Company evaluates its unconsolidated investments for other than temporary impairment, considering both the extent and amount by which the carrying value of the investment exceeds the fair value, and the Company's intent and ability to hold the investment to recover its carrying value. The Company also evaluates its proportionate share of any impairment of assets held by unconsolidated investments. There were no other than temporary impairment losses recognized by any of the Company's investments in unconsolidated real estate entities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.
