Real estate available and held for sale—As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had $221.0 million and $374.1 million, respectively, of residential properties available for sale in its operating properties portfolio.

During the year ended December 31, 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. There were no operations to reclassify on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations as a result of this change. During the same period, the Company reclassified three land assets with a carrying value of $31.8 million and a net lease asset with a carrying value of $9.8 million to held for sale due to executed contracts with third parties. The net lease asset was disposed of for a gain of $3.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2013. The gain was recorded in "Gain from discontinued operations" on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. 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 (see table below). The three land properties were sold during the year ended December 31, 2013 for a gain of $0.6 million. These gains were recorded in "Income from residential property" on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations.
During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company had a change in its business plans to sell two commercial operating properties previously considered held for sale. As of December 31, 2012, the carrying amount of these assets was $49.8 million and was recorded in Real Estate, net. The assets were reclassified back to real estate held and used at their carrying value prior to classification as held for sale and adjusted for depreciation expense of $3.3 million during the held for sale period, which was lower than the assets' fair value at the time of the change in plans to sell. In connection with the reclassification of these assets to held and used, the Company reclassified their results of operations for each of the periods presented, as follows:

Acquisitions—During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company acquired a net lease asset, which was leased back to the seller, for a purchase price of $93.6 million, including intangible assets of $36.1 million, intangible liabilities of $11.9 million and acquisition-related costs of $0.2 million. The Company concluded that the transaction was a real estate asset acquisition and capitalized the acquisition-related costs. The intangible assets are included in "Deferred expenses and other assets, net" and the intangible liabilities are included in "Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities" on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. The lease is classified as an operating lease.
During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company acquired, via foreclosure, title to a residential operating property and two land properties, each of which previously served as collateral on loans receivable held by the Company. The total fair value of the land properties was $15.6 million. The Company contributed the residential operating property, which had a fair value of $25.5 million, to an entity, of which it owns 63%. 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. The acquisition was accounted for at fair value. No gain or loss was recorded in conjunction with these transactions.
During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company acquired, via foreclosure, title to properties, which previously served as collateral on loan receivables held by the Company with a total fair value of $269.1 million at the time of foreclosure. These properties included $172.4 million of residential operating properties, $63.4 million of commercial operating properties and $33.3 million of land assets.
During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company also acquired land and other assets with a fair value of $27.3 million from a third party to form a new venture related to one of the Company's commercial operating properties. The third party contributed land into the venture in a non-cash exchange for a non-controlling interest and the Company continues to consolidate the subsidiary. In conjunction with the formation of this new venture, the venture contributed land with a recorded value of $11.6 million in a non-cash exchange for a 40% noncontrolling equity interest in a separate new venture. The Company did not recognize any gains or losses associated with these transactions.
In addition, during 2012, the Company acquired land and other assets with a fair value of $11.5 million from a third party to form a new strategic venture related to one of the Company's active land development projects. The third party contributed land into the venture in a non-cash exchange for a non-controlling interest and the Company continues to consolidate the subsidiary. The Company did not recognize any gains or losses associated with the transaction. Based upon certain rights held by the minority partner in this land venture that provide it with an option to redeem its interest at fair value after seven years, the Company has reflected the partner's non-controlling interest in this venture as a redeemable non-controlling interest within its Consolidated Balance Sheets. As it is probable that the interest will become redeemable, subsequent changes in fair value are being accreted over the seven year period from the date of issuance to the earliest redemption date using the interest method. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the estimated redemption value of the redeemable non-controlling interest was $17.4 million and $17.9 million, respectively.
Dispositions—During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, the Company sold residential condominiums for total net proceeds of $269.7 million, $319.3 million and $154.0 million, respectively, and recorded income from sales of residential properties totaling $82.6 million, $63.5 million and $5.7 million, respectively.
