Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]

Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate

NOTE 4: Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate

We have entered into joint ventures with unrelated third parties to own, operate, acquire, develop and manage real estate assets that are accounted for under the equity method of accounting, and are included in investments in unconsolidated real estate entities on the consolidated balance sheets.

Our joint ventures are funded with a combination of debt and equity. We will consolidate entities that we control as well as any variable interest entity where we are the primary beneficiary. Under the VIE model, we will consolidate an entity when we have the control to direct the activities of the VIE and the obligations to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Under the voting model, we consolidate an entity when we control the entity through ownership of a majority voting interest. We separately analyzed the initial accounting for each investment in unconsolidated entity and concluded that each are a voting interest entity. Our equity interest varies for each joint venture between 50% to 90% but, in each case, we share control of the major decisions that most significantly impact the joint ventures with our partners. Since we do not control the joint venture through our ownership interest, they are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. As of June 30, 2022, our investments in unconsolidated real estate entities had aggregate land, building, and construction in progress costs capitalized of $136,300 and aggregate construction debt of $60,240. We do not guarantee any debt, capital payout or other obligations associated with our joint ventures. We

recognize earnings or losses from our investments in unconsolidated real estate entities consisting of our proportionate share of the net earnings or losses of the joint ventures.

The following table summarizes our investments in unconsolidated real estate entities as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:
