Acquisitions of Land. In April 2017, we acquired approximately 8.2 acres of land in San Diego, California for $20.0 million. There were no acquisitions of land during the three months ended March 31, 2017. In February 2016, we acquired approximately 2.0 acres of land in Charlotte, North Carolina for approximately $4.1 million.
Land Holding Dispositions. We did not sell any land during the three months ended March 31, 2017. In February 2016, we sold approximately 6.3 acres of land adjacent to an operating property in Tampa, Florida for approximately $2.2 million and recognized a gain of approximately $0.4 million.

Discontinued Operations. We did not have any discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017. In April 2016, we sold 15 operating properties, comprised of an aggregate of 4,918 apartment homes, with an average age of 23 years, a retail center and approximately 19.6 acres of land, all located in Las Vegas, Nevada, to an unaffiliated third party for an aggregate of approximately $630.0 million and recognized a gain of approximately $375.2 million.
