Real estate available and held for sale—As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had $252.9 million and $374.1 million, respectively, of residential properties available for sale in its operating properties portfolio.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company reclassified two land properties with a carrying value of $49.7 million from held for sale to held for investment due to changes in the Company's business plan for the properties. These assets are included in "Real estate, net" on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the same period, the Company reclassified two land properties with a carrying value of $19.8 million and net lease assets with a carrying value of $18.5 million to held for sale due to executed contracts with third parties. The net lease assets were disposed of for a gain of $3.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The results of operations for the net lease assets that were reclassified are included in "Income (loss) from discontinued operations" on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented.

Based on the control provisions in the partnership agreement, the Company consolidates the entity and reflects its partner's 37% share of equity in "Noncontrolling interests" on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.
