As of June 30, 2023, we wholly owned 376 properties located in 36 states and Washington, D.C., including four properties classified as held for sale and five closed senior living communities, and we owned an equity interest in each of two unconsolidated joint ventures that own medical office and life science properties located in five states.

(1)Amounts are not adjusted for our minority equity interest.
(2)Following the deconsolidation in December 2021 of the net assets of an unconsolidated joint venture that owns a life science property located in Boston, Massachusetts, or the Seaport JV, we no longer include this $620,000 of secured debt financing in our condensed consolidated balance sheet; however, we continue to provide certain guaranties on this debt.
(3)The debt securing these properties is non-recourse to us.
(4)The maturity date of February 9, 2024 is subject to three, one year extension options and requires interest to be paid at an annual rate based on the secured overnight financing rate, or SOFR, plus a premium of 1.90%. The interest rate is as of June 30, 2023. This joint venture has also purchased an interest rate cap through February 2024 with a SOFR strike rate equal to 4.00%.

In December 2021, we sold an additional 35% equity interest from our then remaining 55% equity interest in the Seaport JV to another third party institutional investor for $378,000, before closing costs and other adjustments. Effective as of the date of the sale, we deconsolidated this joint venture and we now account for this joint venture using the equity method of accounting under the fair value option. Prior to the deconsolidation of the net assets of this joint venture, the joint venture investor's interest in this consolidated entity was reflected as noncontrolling interest in our consolidated financial statements. In June 2022, we sold an additional 10% equity interest from our then remaining 20% equity interest in the Seaport JV to an existing joint venture investor for $108,000, before closing costs and other adjustments. We recognized a net loss on sale of $1,226 related to this transaction during the six months ended June 30, 2022, which is included in (loss) gain on sale of properties in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). After giving effect to these sales, we continue to own a 10% equity interest in this joint venture. Our initial investment amount was based on a property valuation of $1,700,000, less $620,000 of existing mortgage debts on the property that this joint venture assumed. See Note 5 for more information regarding the valuation of our investment in this joint venture.
In January 2022, we entered into a joint venture with two unrelated third party institutional investors for 10 medical office and life science properties we owned, or the LSMD JV. We sold equity interests in this joint venture to those investors for aggregate proceeds, before closing costs and other adjustments, of approximately $653,300. We deconsolidated the net assets of these properties effective as of the date of the sale and recognized a net gain on sale of $327,542 related to this transaction during the six months ended June 30, 2022, which is included in (loss) gain on sale of properties in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). The equity interests that the investors acquired from us equaled 41% and 39%, respectively, of the total equity interests in the joint venture and we retained a 20% equity interest in the joint venture. Following the sale, we account for this joint venture using the equity method of accounting under the fair value option. The initial investment amounts were based upon a property valuation of approximately $702,500, less approximately $456,600 of secured debt on the properties incurred by this joint venture. See Note 5 for more information regarding the valuation of our investment in this joint venture.
Acquisitions and Dispositions:
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we sold three properties for an aggregate sales price of $2,800, excluding closing costs, as presented in the table below. The sales of these properties do not represent significant dispositions, individually or in the aggregate, and we do not believe these sales represent a strategic shift in our business. As a result, the results of operations for these properties are included in continuing operations through the date of sale of such properties in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

As of June 30, 2023, we had four properties classified as held for sale in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as follows:

Life Science and Medical Office4$21,786 
As of July 27, 2023, these properties were under agreements to sell for an aggregate sales price of approximately $23,400, excluding closing costs. We may not complete the sales of any or all of the properties we currently plan to sell. Also, we may
sell some or all of these properties at amounts that are less than currently expected and/or less than the carrying values of such properties and we may incur losses on any such sales as a result.
We did not acquire any properties during the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Impairment:
We regularly evaluate our assets for indicators of impairment. Impairment indicators may include declining tenant or resident occupancy, weak or declining profitability from the property, decreasing tenant cash flows or liquidity, our decision to dispose of an asset before the end of its estimated useful life, and legislative, market or industry changes that could permanently reduce the value of an asset. If indicators of impairment are present, we evaluate the carrying value of the affected assets by comparing it to the expected future undiscounted cash flows to be generated from those assets. The future cash flows are subjective and are based in part on assumptions regarding hold periods, market rents and terminal capitalization rates. If the sum of these expected future cash flows is less than the carrying value, we reduce the net carrying value of the asset to its estimated fair value.
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded impairment charges of $11,299 related to four life science and medical office properties that were classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2023. We also recorded impairment charges of $2,308 to adjust the carrying value of one medical office property and $3,617 to adjust the carrying value of one senior living community to their respective estimated fair value.
