Construction in progress located on Hutai Road in Shanghai was completed in 2021 and immediately leased out for shopping centers business. As a result, the Group reclassified those buildings and land use right under the line item of “inventories related to real estate - construction in progress” to investment properties with amount of NT$9,722,579 thousand.
Right-of-use
assets included in investment properties were leasehold land located in Shanghai and were subleased under operating leases.
 
The abovementioned investment properties were leased out for 1 to 20 years, with an option to extend for an additional lease term. The lease contracts contain market review clauses in the event that the lessees exercise their options to extend. The lessees do not have bargain purchase options to acquire the investment properties at the expiry of the lease term.
In addition to fixed lease payments, some of the lease contracts also indicated that the lessees should make variable payments determined at a specific percentage of the excess of respective lessee’s monthly revenues over a specific amount.
The maturity analysis of lease payments receivable under operating leases of investment properties was as follows:

assets
     10-50 years  
Because the market conditions were severely affected by
COVID-19
in 2021 and 2022, the Group agreed to provide unconditional rent concessions for some lease contracts. The rent concessions were accounted for as adjustments to related income over the remaining lease term. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, total amount from the rent concessions were NT$3,865 thousand and NT$114,538 thousand, respectively.
The fair value of the investment properties was measured using the market approach and the income approach based on level 3 inputs by independent professional appraisers. The significant unobservable inputs were discount rates. The fair value of the investment properties was as follows:
