The Company formed or acquired interests in these ventures with unaffiliated third parties to develop or manage office properties or to acquire land in anticipation of possible development of office or residential properties.

The Company accounts for its unconsolidated interests in its Real Estate Ventures using the equity method. The Company’s unconsolidated interests range from 20% to 65%, subject to specified priority allocations of distributable cash in certain of the Real Estate Ventures. The amounts reflected in the following tables (except for the Company’s share of equity and income) are based on the historical financial information of the individual Real Estate Ventures. The Company does not record operating losses of a Real Estate Venture in excess of its investment balance unless the Company is liable for the obligations of the Real Estate Venture or is otherwise committed to provide financial support to the Real Estate Venture. The following is a summary of the financial position of the Real Estate Ventures as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (in thousands):

Austin Venture - The Crossings On July 31, 2014, the Austin Venture completed the acquisition of the Crossings at Lakeline, comprised of two 3-story buildings containing 232,274 rentable square feet located in Austin, TX for $48.2 million. The transaction was funded with $34.5 million of mortgage loan proceeds and $12.8 million (net of $0.9 million in purchase adjustments) of cash contributions, with $6.4 million from each of DRA and the Company. The fixed rate mortgage loan was financed through a non-affiliated third party. The Austin Venture incurred approximately $0.1 million of transaction costs to acquire the property. The Austin Venture expensed the acquisition costs and allocated the purchase price of the property, net of $0.6 million credit from the seller. Based on the facts and circumstances of this acquisition, the consummation of the acquisition did not cause the Austin Venture to become a VIE to the Company. Accordingly, the Company continues to assess the consolidation of the Austin Venture under the voting interest model and its investment continues to be accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Austin Venture - Four Points Centre On April 3, 2014, the Company contributed two 3-story, Class A office buildings, containing an aggregate of 192,396 net rentable square feet, known as Four Points Centre in Austin, Texas to the Austin Venture. See Note 3 for further information on the contribution. Guarantees As of September 30, 2014, the Company had provided guarantees on behalf of certain real estate ventures, consisting of (i) a $24.7 million payment guarantee on the construction loan for the project being undertaken by evo at Cira; (ii) a $3.2 million payment guarantee on the construction loan for the development project being undertaken by TB-BDN Plymouth Apartments; and (iii) a $0.5 million payment guarantee on a loan provided to PJP VII. In addition, during construction undertaken by Real Estate Ventures, the Company has provided and expects to continue to provide cost overrun and completion guarantees, with rights of contribution among partners in the real estate venture, as well as customary environmental indemnities and guarantees of customary exceptions to nonrecourse provisions in loan agreements. For additional information regarding these real estate ventures, see "Investments in Unconsolidated Ventures" in notes to the audited financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.
