Variable Interest Entities [Abstract] |
Variable Interest Entities | Variable Interest Entities The acquisition of SIX50 at Legacy Union in Charlotte was completed in the third quarter of 2022 using a special purpose entity owned by a qualified intermediary to facilitate one or more potential Section 1031 reverse exchanges under the Internal Revenue Code. As of September 30, 2022, this variable interest entity had total assets, liabilities and cash flows of $200.6 million, $3.3 million, and $0.5 million, respectively. Consolidated Variable Interest Entity In 2019, we and The Bromley Companies formed a joint venture to construct Midtown West, a 150,000 square foot, multi-customer office building located in the mixed-use Midtown Tampa project in Tampa’s Westshore submarket. Midtown West has an anticipated total investment of $71.3 million. Construction of Midtown West began in the third quarter of 2019 and the building was placed in service in the second quarter of 2021. At closing, we agreed to contribute cash of $20.0 million, which has been fully funded, in exchange for an 80.0% interest in the Midtown West joint venture and The Bromley Companies contributed land valued at $5.0 million in exchange for the remaining 20.0% interest. We also committed to provide a $46.3 million interest-only secured construction loan to the Midtown West joint venture that is scheduled to mature in June 2023. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 250 basis points. As of September 30, 2022, $37.7 million under the loan has been funded. We determined that we have a variable interest in the Midtown West joint venture primarily because the entity was designed to pass along interest rate risk, equity price risk and operation risk to us as both a debt and an equity holder and The Bromley Companies as an equity holder. The Midtown West joint venture was further determined to be a variable interest entity as it requires additional subordinated financial support in the form of a loan because the initial equity investment provided by us and The Bromley Companies is not sufficient to finance its planned investments and operations. We, as majority owner and managing member and through our control rights as set forth in the joint venture’s governance documents, were determined to be the primary beneficiary as we have both the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the entity (primarily lease rates, property operations and capital expenditures) and significant economic exposure through our equity investment and loan commitment. As such, the Midtown West joint venture is consolidated and all intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated. The following table sets forth the assets and liabilities of the Midtown West joint venture included on our Consolidated Balance Sheets:
| September 30, 2022 |  | December 31, 2021
Net real estate assets | $ | 60,917 |  |  | $ | 53,191 |
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 1,246 |  |  | $ | 389 |
Accounts receivable | $ | 166 |  |  | $ | — |
Accrued straight-line rents receivable | $ | 720 |  |  | $ | 121 |
Deferred leasing costs, net | $ | 2,251 |  |  | $ | 1,519 |
Prepaid expenses and other assets, net | $ | 160 |  |  | $ | 163 |
Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities | $ | 1,476 |  |  | $ | 646 |
The assets of the Midtown West joint venture can be used only to settle obligations of the joint venture, and its creditors have no recourse to our wholly owned assets. Unconsolidated Variable Interest Entities During the fourth quarter of 2021, we and Brand Properties, LLC (“Brand”) formed a joint venture to construct 2827 Peachtree, a 135,000 square foot, multi-customer office building located in Atlanta’s Buckhead submarket. 2827 Peachtree has an anticipated total investment of $79.0 million. Construction of 2827 Peachtree began in the first quarter of 2022 with a scheduled completion date in the third quarter of 2023. At closing, we agreed to contribute cash of $13.3 million, which has been fully funded, in exchange for a 50.0% interest in the 2827 Peachtree joint venture and Brand contributed land valued at $7.7 million and cash of $5.6 million in exchange for the remaining 50.0% interest. We also committed to provide a $49.6 million interest-only secured construction loan to the 2827 Peachtree joint venture that is scheduled to mature in December 2024 with an option to extend for one year. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 300 basis points. As of September 30, 2022, no amounts under the loan have been funded. We determined that we have a variable interest in the 2827 Peachtree joint venture primarily because the entity was designed to pass along interest rate risk, equity price risk and operation risk to us as both a debt and equity holder and Brand as an equity holder. The 2827 Peachtree joint venture was further determined to be a variable interest entity as it requires additional subordinated financial support in the form of a loan because the initial equity investment provided by us and Brand is not sufficient to finance its planned investments and operations. We concluded we do not have the power to direct matters that most significantly impact the activities of the entity and therefore do not qualify as the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the entity is not consolidated. At September 30, 2022, our risk of loss with respect to this arrangement was limited to the carrying value of the investment balance of $13.7 million as no amounts were outstanding under the loan. The assets of the 2827 Peachtree joint venture can be used only to settle obligations of the joint venture and its creditors have no recourse to our wholly owned assets. We also determined that we have a variable interest in both the Granite Park Six and 23Springs joint ventures primarily because the entities were designed to pass along interest rate risk, equity price risk and operation risk to us and Granite Properties as equity holders. The joint ventures were further determined to be variable interest entities as they require additional subordinated financial support in the form of loans because the initial equity investments provided by us and Granite Properties are not sufficient to finance the planned investments and operations. We concluded we do not have the power to direct matters that most significantly impact the activities of either entity and therefore do not qualify as the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the entities are not consolidated. At September 30, 2022, our risk of loss with respect to these arrangements was limited to the carrying value of each investment balance as no amounts were outstanding under the loans. Our investment balances were $36.1 million and $37.9 million at September 30, 2022 for Granite Park Six and 23Springs, respectively. The assets of the Granite Park Six and 23Springs joint ventures can be used only to settle obligations of the respective joint venture and their creditors have no recourse to our wholly owned assets.
