(a) | Ownership percentage represents the Company's entitlement to residual distributions after payments of priority returns, where applicable.
(b) | The basis differences associated with these ventures are allocated between cost and the underlying equity in the net assets of the investee and is accounted for as if the entity were consolidated (i.e., allocated to the Company’s relative share of assets and liabilities with an adjustment to recognize equity in earnings for the appropriate depreciation/amortization).
(c) | The debt for these properties is comprised of three fixed rate mortgages: (1) $39.3 million with a 4.40% fixed interest rate due January 1, 2019, (2) $28.0 million with a 4.65% fixed interest rate due January 1, 2022, and (3) $66.5 million with a 3.22% fixed interest rate due August 1, 2019, resulting in a time weighted average rate of 3.93%.
(d) | The debt for these properties includes five mortgages: (1) $34.0 million that was swapped to a 1.59% fixed rate (or an all-in fixed rate of 3.52% incorporating the 1.93% spread) due November 1, 2018, (2) $56.0 million that was swapped to a 1.49% fixed rate (or an all-in rate of 3.19% incorporating the 1.70% spread) due October 15, 2018, (3) $140.6 million that was swapped to a 1.43% fixed rate (for an all-in fixed rate of 3.44% incorporating the 2.01% spread) due November 1, 2018, (4) $29.0 million with a 4.50% fixed interest rate due April 6, 2019, and (5) $34.5 million with a 3.87% fixed interest rate due August 6, 2019, resulting in a time and dollar weighted average rate of 3.57%. Also, includes an $88.0 million bridge loan from BDN Austin Properties, LLC, a subsidiary of Brandywine, carrying a 4.00% fixed interest rate until December 31, 2014 and increased to 5.00% through January 31, 2015. See Note 21, "Subsequent Events," for repayment of this note.
(e) | Proceeds received by the Company from the sale of an 80% ownership stake in the properties exceeded the historical cost of those properties. No investment in the real estate venture was reflected on the balance sheet at formation.
(f) | Carrying amount represents the negative investment balance of the venture and is included in other liabilities.
(g) | The stated rate for the construction loan is LIBOR + 2.25%. The interest rate spread decreases to 2.00% upon receipt of certificate of occupancy. It is further reduced to 1.75% upon stabilization. To fulfill interest rate protection requirements an interest rate cap was purchased at 4.50%.
(h) | Comprised of two fixed rate mortgages totaling $8.0 million that mature on March 1, 2017 and accrue interest at a current rate of 7.00%, a $1.0 million 3.00% fixed rate loan through its September 1, 2025 maturity, a $2.0 million 4.00% fixed rate loan with interest only through its February 7, 2016 maturity and a $3.9 million 3.00% fixed rate loan with interest only beginning March 11, 2018 through its March 11, 2020 maturity, resulting in a time and dollar weighted average rate of 3.78%.
