Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures:
Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures:
The Company has made the following recent investments and dispositions relating to its unconsolidated joint ventures:
On May 29, 2013, the Company's joint venture in Pacific Premier Retail LP sold Redmond Town Center Office, a 582,000 square foot office building in Redmond, Washington, for $185,000, resulting in a gain on the sale of assets of $89,157 to the joint venture. The Company's share of the gain was $44,424, which was included in equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures. The Company used its share of the proceeds from the sale to pay down its line of credit and for general corporate purposes.
On June 12, 2013, the Company's joint venture in Pacific Premier Retail LP sold Kitsap Mall, an 846,000 square foot regional shopping center in Silverdale, Washington, for $127,000, resulting in a gain on the sale of assets of $55,150 to the joint venture. The Company's share of the gain was $28,127, which was included in equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures. The Company used its share of the proceeds from the sale to pay down its line of credit and for general corporate purposes.
On August 1, 2013, the Company's joint venture in Pacific Premier Retail LP sold Redmond Town Center, a 695,000 square foot community center in Redmond, Washington, for $127,000, resulting in a gain on the sale of assets of $38,447 to the joint venture. The Company's share of the gain was $18,251, which was included in equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures. The Company used its share of the proceeds from the sale to pay down its line of credit and for general corporate purposes.
On September 17, 2013, the Company’s joint venture in Camelback Colonnade, a 619,000 square foot community center in Phoenix, Arizona, was restructured. As a result of the restructuring, the Company’s ownership interest in Camelback Colonnade decreased from 73.2% to 67.5%. Prior to the restructuring, the Company had accounted for its investment in Camelback Colonnade under the equity method of accounting due to substantive participation rights held by the outside partners. Upon completion of the restructuring, these substantive participation rights were terminated and the Company obtained voting control of the joint venture. 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 13Acquisitions).
On October 8, 2013, the Company's joint venture in Ridgmar Mall, a 1,273,000 square foot regional shopping center in Fort Worth, Texas, sold the property for $60,900, resulting in a gain on the sale of assets of $6,243 to the joint venture. The Company's share of the gain was $3,121, which was included in equity in income from joint ventures. The cash proceeds from the sale were used to pay off the $51,657 mortgage loan on the property and the remaining $9,243, net of closing costs, was distributed to the partners. The Company used its share of the proceeds from the sale to pay down its line of credit and for general corporate purposes.
On October 24, 2013, the Company acquired the remaining 33.3% ownership interest in Superstition Springs Center, a 1,082,000 square foot regional shopping center in Mesa, Arizona, that it did not own for $46,162. The purchase price was funded by a cash payment of $23,662 and the assumption of the third party's pro rata share of the mortgage note payable on the property of $22,500. Prior to the acquisition, the Company had accounted for its investment in Superstition Springs Center under the equity method. Since the date of acquisition, the Company has included Superstition Springs Center in its consolidated financial statements (See Note 13Acquisitions).
On June 4, 2014, the Company acquired the remaining 49.0% ownership interest in Cascade Mall, a 593,000 square foot regional shopping center in Burlington, Washington, that it did not own for a cash payment of $15,233. The Company purchased Cascade Mall from its joint venture in Pacific Premier Retail LP. Prior to the acquisition, the Company had accounted for its investment in Cascade Mall under the equity method. Since the date of acquisition, the Company has included Cascade Mall in its consolidated financial statements (See Note 13Acquisitions).
