On March 30, 2012, the Company sold its 50% ownership interest in Chandler Village Center, a 273,000 square foot community center in Chandler, Arizona, for a total sales price of $14,795, resulting in a gain on sale of assets of $8,185 that was included in gain on remeasurement, sale or write down of assets, net during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

As a result of the restructuring, the Company’s ownership interest in Camelback Colonnade decreased from 73.2% to 67.5%.

This transaction is referred to herein as the "Camelback Colonnade Restructuring". Since the date of the restructuring, the Company has included Camelback Colonnade in its consolidated financial statements (See Note 14Acquisitions).
