The Company has recently made the following investments and dispositions relating to its unconsolidated joint ventures:

On February 24, 2011, the Company's joint venture in Kierland Commons Investment LLC ("KCI") acquired an additional ownership interest in PHXAZ/Kierland Commons, L.L.C. ("Kierland Commons"), a 434,642 square foot community center in Scottsdale, Arizona, for $105,550. The Company's share of the purchase price consisted of a cash payment of $34,162 and the assumption of a pro rata share of debt of $18,613. As a result of this transaction, KCI increased its ownership interest in Kierland Commons from 49% to 100%. KCI accounted for the acquisition as a business combination achieved in stages and recognized a remeasurement gain of $25,019 based on the acquisition date fair value and its previously held investment in Kierland Commons. As a result of this transaction, the Company's ownership interest in KCI increased from 24.5% to 50%. The Company's pro rata share of the gain recognized by KCI was $12,510 and was included in equity in income from unconsolidated joint ventures.

On February 28, 2011, the Company in a 50/50 joint venture acquired The Shops at Atlas Park, a 377,924 square foot community center in Queens, New York, for a total purchase price of $53,750. The Company's share of the purchase price was $26,875. The results of The Shops at Atlas Park are included below for the period subsequent to the acquisition.

On February 28, 2011, the Company acquired the additional 50% ownership interest in Desert Sky Mall, an 893,863 square foot regional shopping center in Phoenix, Arizona, that it did not own for $27,625. The purchase price was funded by a cash payment of $1,875 and the assumption of the third party's pro rata share of the mortgage note payable on the property of $25,750. Concurrent with the purchase of the partnership interest, the Company paid off the $51,500 loan on the property. Prior to the acquisition, the Company had accounted for its investment in Desert Sky Mall under the equity method. Since the date of acquisition, the Company has included Desert Sky Mall in its consolidated financial statements (See Note 15—Acquisitions).

On April 1, 2011, the Company's joint venture in SDG Macerich Properties, L.P. ("SDG Macerich") conveyed Granite Run Mall to the mortgage note lender by a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. The mortgage note was non-recourse. The Company's pro rata share of gain on the extinguishment of debt was $7,753.

On June 3, 2011, the Company entered into a transaction with General Growth Properties, Inc., whereby the Company acquired an additional 33.3% ownership interest in Arrowhead Towne Center, an additional 33.3% ownership interest in Superstition Springs Center, and an additional 50% ownership interest in the land under Superstition Springs Center ("Superstition Springs Land") that it did not own in exchange for six anchor locations, including five former Mervyn's stores (See Note 16—Discontinued Operations) and a cash payment of $75,000. As a result of this transaction, the Company now owns a 66.7% ownership interest in Arrowhead Towne Center, a 66.7% ownership interest in Superstition Springs Center and a 100% ownership interest in Superstition Springs Land. Although the Company had a 66.7% ownership interest in Arrowhead Towne Center and Superstition Springs Center upon completion of the transaction, the Company does not have a controlling financial interest in these joint ventures due to the substantive participation rights of the outside partner and, therefore, continues to account for its investments in these joint ventures under the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, no remeasurement gain was recorded on the increase in ownership. The Company has consolidated its investment in Superstition Springs Land since the date of acquisition (See Note 15—Acquisitions) and has recorded a remeasurement gain of $1,734 as a result of the increase in ownership. This transaction is referred to herein as the "GGP Exchange".

On December 31, 2011, the Company and its joint venture partner reached agreement for the distribution and conveyance of interests in SDG Macerich that owned 11 regional shopping centers in a 50/50 partnership. Six of the eleven assets were distributed to the Company on December 31, 2011. The Company received 100% ownership of Eastland Mall in Evansville, Indiana, Lake Square Mall in Leesburg, Florida, SouthPark Mall in Moline, Illinois, Southridge Mall in Des Moines, Iowa, NorthPark Mall in Davenport, Iowa and Valley Mall in Harrisonburg, Virginia (collectively referred to herein as the "SDG Acquisition Properties"). The ownership interests in the remaining five regional malls were distributed to the outside partner. The remaining net assets of SDG Macerich were distributed during the six months ended June 30, 2012. The SDG Acquisition Properties were recorded at fair value at the date of transfer, which resulted in a gain of $188,264, which was included in equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures, based on the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in excess of the book value of the Company's interest in SDG Macerich. The distribution and conveyance of the 11 regional shopping centers is referred to herein as the "SDG Transaction". Prior to the SDG Transaction, the Company accounted for its investment in the SDG Acquisition Properties under the equity method of accounting. Since the date of distribution and conveyance, the Company has included the SDG Acquisition Properties in its consolidated financial statements (See Note 15—Acquisitions).

On March 30, 2012, the Company sold its 50% ownership interest in Chandler Village Center, a 273,439 square foot community center in Chandler, Arizona, for a total sales price of $14,795, resulting in a gain of $8,188 that is included in gain on remeasurement, sale or write down of assets, net during the six months ended June 30, 2012. The sales price was funded by a cash payment of $6,045 and the assumption of the Company's share of the mortgage note payable on the property of $8,750. The Company used the cash proceeds from the sale to pay down its line of credit and for general corporate purposes.

On March 30, 2012, the Company sold its 50% ownership interest in Chandler Festival, a 500,426 square foot community center in Chandler, Arizona, for a total sales price of $30,975, resulting in a gain of $12,347 that is included in gain on remeasurement, sale or write down of assets, net during the six months ended June 30, 2012.

The cash proceeds from the sale were used to pay off the $45,000 mortgage loan on the property and the remaining $9,780 was distributed to the partners. The Company's share of the gain recognized was $11,508, which was included in equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures, offset in part by $3,567 that was included in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests.

On May 31, 2012, the Company sold its 50% ownership interest in Chandler Gateway, a 259,535 square foot community center in Chandler, Arizona, for a total sales price of $14,315, resulting in a gain of $3,345 that is included in gain on remeasurement, sale or write down of assets, net during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.
