Investments In and Advances to Unconsolidated Affiliates

Core Portfolio

The Company owns a 49% interest in a 311,000 square foot shopping center located in White Plains, New York ("Crossroads"), a 50% interest in a 28,000 square foot retail portfolio located in Georgetown, Washington D.C. (the "Georgetown Portfolio"), and a 88.43% tenancy-in-common interest in an 87,000 square foot retail property located in Chicago, Illinois. The Company accounts for these investments under the equity method as it has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not have any rights with respect to financial or operating control.

During 2015, the Company acquired the remaining 77.78% outstanding interest of an approximately 20,000 square foot retail property located in Wilmington, Delaware ("Route 202 Shopping Center") that was previously accounted for under the equity method from an unaffiliated partner. As a result of the transaction, the Company now consolidates this investment.

Funds

Fund Investments

During 2015, Fund II acquired an additional 43% interest in City Point - Tower I that was previously accounted for under the equity method from an unaffiliated partner (Note 2). As a result of the transaction, the Company now consolidates this investment.

During 2015, Fund III's Parkway Crossing was sold for $27.3 million. Fund III's $6.9 million share of the gain was recognized in gain on disposition of properties of unaffiliated affiliates within the Consolidated Statements of Income.

During 2015, Fund IV, entered into a joint venture with an unaffiliated entity, to acquire and redevelop a property located in Warwick, Rhode Island ("650 Bald Hill Road") for $8.3 million.

The unaffiliated partners in Fund II's tenancy in common in City Point Phase III, Fund III's investments in Arundel Plaza as well as Fund IV's investments in 1701 Belmont Avenue, 2819 Kennedy Boulevard, Promenade at Manassas, Eden Square, the Broughton Street Portfolio and 650 Bald Hill Road maintain control over these entities. The Company accounts for these investments under the equity method as it has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not have any rights with respect to financial or operating control.

Self-Storage Management, a Fund III investment, was determined to be a variable interest entity. Management has evaluated the applicability of ASC Topic 810 to this joint venture and determined that the Company is not the primary beneficiary and, therefore, consolidation of this venture is not required. The Company accounts for this investment using the equity method of accounting.

RCP Venture

Funds I and II, together with two unaffiliated partners formed an investment group, the RCP Venture, for the purpose of making investments in surplus or underutilized properties owned by retailers and, in some instances, the retailers' operating company. The RCP Venture is neither a single entity nor a specific investment and the Company has no control or rights with respect to the formation and operation of these investments. The Company has made these investments through its subsidiaries, Mervyns I, Mervyns II and Fund II, (together the "Acadia Investors"), all on a non-recourse basis. Through December 31, 2015, the Acadia Investors have made investments in Mervyns Department Stores ("Mervyns") and Albertsons including additional investments in locations that are separate from these original investments ("Add-On Investments"). Additionally, they have invested in Shopko, Marsh and Rex Stores Corporation (collectively "Other RCP Investments"). The Company accounts for its investments in Mervyns and Albertsons on the equity method as it has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not have any rights with respect to financial or operating control. The Company accounts for its investments in its Add-On Investments and Other RCP Investments on the cost method as it does not have any influence over such entities' operating and financial policies nor any rights with respect to the control and operation of these entities. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company received distributions from its RCP Venture of $5.9 million, of which the Operating Partnership's aggregate share was $1.2 million.
