——————— (1)During the year ended December 31, 2021 we reversed $30.0 million of previously recorded Specific CECL Allowances. This is comprised of $20.0 million of CECL reversals as discussed below and the realization of $10.0 million of previously recorded Specific CECL Allowance as a realized loss. (2)The fair value of this collateral was determined by assuming rent per square foot ranging from $48 to $215 and a capitalization rate ranging from 5.0% to 5.5%. (3)During the year ended December 31, 2021, $20.0 million of previously recorded Specific CECL Allowance was reversed primarily related to a more favorable market outlook as compared to when the Specific CECL Allowance was first recorded with respect to the loan. (4)In October 2020, we entered a joint venture with CCOF Design Venture, LLC ("CCOF"), which owns the underlying properties that secure our $187.7 million first mortgage loan. The entity in which we own an interest, and which owns the underlying properties was deemed to be a VIE and we determined that we are not the primary beneficiary of that VIE as we do not have the power to direct the entity's activities. The related profit and loss from the joint venture was immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. (5)The fair value of retail collateral was determined by applying a capitalization rate of 8.0%. (6)In September 2018, we entered a joint venture with Turner Consulting II, LLC ("Turner Consulting"), through an entity which owns the underlying property that secures our loan. Turner Consulting contributed 10% of venture’s equity and we contributed 90%. The entity was deemed to be a VIE and we determined that we are not the primary beneficiary of that VIE as we do not have the power to direct the entity's activities. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, $1.4 million and $1.6 million, respectively, of interest paid was applied towards reducing the carrying value of the loan.
