In addition, during
March 2018,
the Company sold a portion of its investment in a consolidated operating property to its partner based on a gross fair value of
$320.0
million, including
$206.0
million of non-recourse mortgage debt, and amended the partnership agreement to provide for joint control of the entity. As a result of the amendment, the Company
no
longer consolidates the entity and as such, reduced noncontrolling interests by
$43.8
million and recognized a gain on change in control of
$6.8
million (which is recorded in Gain on sale of operating properties/change in control of interests on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income), in accordance with the adoption of ASU
2017
-
05
effective as of
January 1, 2018 (
See Footnote
2
to the Notes to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion). The Company now has an investment in this unconsolidated property of
$62.4
million, included in Investments in and advances to real estate joint ventures on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s share of this investment is subject to change and is based upon a cash flow waterfall provision within the partnership agreement (
54.8%
as of the date of deconsolidation).
 
During the
three
months ended
March 31, 2018,
the Company disposed of
four
land parcels, in separate transactions, for an aggregate sales price of
$2.9
million, which resulted in an aggregate gain of
$0.5
million, included in Other income, net on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
 
Impairments
 
During the
three
months ended
March 31, 2018,
the Company recognized aggregate impairment charges of
$7.6
million. These impairment charges consist of (i)
$5.2
million related to adjustments to property carrying values for properties which the Company has marketed for sale as part of its active capital recycling program and as such has adjusted the anticipated hold periods for such properties and (ii)
$2.4
million related to the sale of certain operating properties, as discussed above. The Company’s estimated fair values of these properties were primarily based upon estimated sales prices from signed contracts or letters of intent from
third
party offers. See Footnote
12
to the Notes to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for fair value disclosure.
