Noncontrolling Interest [Abstract]

Noncontrolling Interest
In March 2017, we entered a joint venture with a sovereign investor for one of our MOBs (two buildings) located in Boston, Massachusetts. The investor contributed approximately $261,009 for a 45% equity interest in the joint venture, and we retained the remaining 55% equity interest in the joint venture. Net proceeds from this transaction were approximately $255,931, after transaction costs. We continue to effectively control this property and therefore continue to account for this property on a consolidated basis in our condensed consolidated financial statements under the VIE model.
We recognized a noncontrolling interest in our condensed consolidated balance sheets of approximately $181,859 as of completion of the transaction, which was equal to 45% of the aggregate carrying value of the total equity of the property immediately prior to the transaction. The difference between the net proceeds received from this transaction and the noncontrolling interest recognized, which was approximately $74,072, was reflected as an increase in additional paid in capital in our condensed consolidated balance sheets upon the closing of the transaction. The portion of the joint venture's net income and comprehensive income not attributable to us, or $1,401 and $1,360 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $2,784 and $1,486 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, is reported as noncontrolling interest in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. We made aggregate cash distributions to our joint venture partner of $5,113 and $3,483 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $10,781 and $3,483 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which are reflected as a decrease in total equity attributable to noncontrolling interest in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2018, this joint venture held real estate assets with an aggregate net book value of $754,732, subject to mortgage notes of $620,000.
In assessing whether we have a controlling interest in this joint venture arrangement and are required to consolidate the accounts of the joint venture entity, we considered the members' rights to residual gains and obligation to absorb losses, which activities most significantly impact the economic performance of the entity and which member has the power to direct those activities.
