[1] | The Company manages these joint venture investments and, where applicable, earns acquisition fees, leasing commissions, property management fees, asset management fees and construction management fees.
[2] | This venture represents four separate joint ventures, with four separate accounts managed by Prudential Real Estate Investors ("PREI"), three of these ventures are collectively referred to as KimPru and the remaining venture is referred to as KimPru II.
[3] | During the year ended December 31, 2014, KimPru recognized impairment charges of $21.4 million related to the decline in value of two operating properties. The Company had previously taken other-than-temporary impairment charges on its investment in KimPru and had allocated these impairment charges to the underlying assets of the KimPru joint ventures including a portion to these operating properties. As such, the Company's share of these impairment charges was $2.4 million.
[4] | During the year ended December 31, 2015, KimPru recognized aggregate impairment charges related to three properties which KimPru anticipates selling or being foreclosed on within the next year, therefore effectively shortening its anticipated hold period for these assets which resulted in the expected future cash flows being less than the carrying value. The Company's share of these impairment charges was $2.8 million.
[5] | During the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, CPP acquired land parcels for future development in Dania, FL, for $3.6 million and $62.8 million, respectively.
[6] | During September 2013, the Intown portfolio was sold and the Company maintained its guarantee on a portion of debt that was assumed by the buyer at closing. The transaction resulted in a deferred gain to the Company of $21.7 million due to the Company's continued involvement through its guarantee of the debt. On February 24, 2015, the outstanding debt balance was fully repaid by the buyer and as such, the Company was relieved of its related commitments and guarantee. As a result, the Company recognized the deferred gain of $21.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2015.
[7] | During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company received a distribution of $15.4 million from a joint venture that was in excess of its carrying value and as such, the Company recognized this amount as equity in income.
[8] | During the year ended December 31, 2015, four joint ventures in which the Company holds noncontrolling interests recognized impairment charges relating to the pending sale of three properties and the pending foreclosure of one property. The Company's share of these impairment charges was $10.9 million, before income tax benefit.
