[4] | On December 31, 2015, the Company contributed two newly constructed four-story, Class A office buildings, commonly known as “Encino Trace,” containing an aggregate of approximately 320,000 square feet in Austin, Texas to one of its existing real estate ventures (the “Austin Venture”) that the Company formed in 2013 with G&I VII Austin Office LLC, an investment vehicle advised by DRA Advisors LLC (“DRA”). When these two properties were contributed to the Austin Venture the Company had incurred a total of $76.7 million of development costs, representing the contribution value. The project is expected to cost $91.3 million with remaining costs fully funded by the Austin Venture. In conjunction with the contribution: (i) the Austin Venture obtained a $30.0 million mortgage loan; (ii) DRA contributed $25.1 million in net cash to the capital of the Austin Venture, including a $1.8 million working capital contribution; and (iii) the Austin Venture distributed $50.2 million to the Company and credited the Company with a $23.3 million capital contribution to the Austin Venture. In addition to the contribution of the properties, the Company also made a $1.8 million cash contribution to the Austin Venture for working capital. The Company recognized a $2.0 million gain on the contribution. Under the Encino Trace loan agreement the Austin Venture has the option, subject to certain leasing and loan-to-value requirements, to borrow an additional $29.7 million to fund tenant improvements and leasing commissions.
[5] | The Company recorded an impairment loss of $6.3 million for the Carlsbad office properties during the fourth quarter of 2015. As such, there was no gain at disposition for this property.

Refer to Broadmoor Austin Associates acquisition summary, above, for further details.
[8] | During the third quarter of 2014, the Company recorded a $1.8 million impairment loss on these properties.
[9] | On April 3, 2014, the Company contributed two three-story, Class A office buildings, commonly known as “Four Points Centre,” containing an aggregate of approximately 192,396 net rentable square feet in Austin, Texas to an existing real estate venture (the “Austin Venture”) that the Company formed in 2013 with G&I VII Austin Office LLC, an investment vehicle advised by DRA Advisors LLC (“DRA”). The Company contributed the properties to the Austin Venture at an agreed upon value of $41.5 million. In conjunction with the contribution: (i) the Austin Venture obtained a $29.0 million mortgage loan; (ii) DRA contributed $5.9 million in net cash to the capital of the Austin Venture; and (iii) the Austin Venture distributed $34.4 million to the Company and credited the Company with a $5.9 million capital contribution to the Austin Venture.
