[1] | Net increase of investment of $6.5 million primary relates to the evo at Cira real estate venture. See Note 4, “Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures,” for further information.
[2] | The MAP Venture represents a joint venture formed between the Company and MAP Ground Lease Holdings LLC, an affiliate of Och-Ziff Capital Management Group, LLC, on February 4, 2016. See Note 4 “Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures,” to our consolidated financial statements for further information. The MAP Venture’s business operations, including properties in Richmond, Virginia; Metropolitan Washington, D.C.; New Jersey/Delaware and Pennsylvania Suburbs, are centrally managed with the results reported to management of the Company on a consolidated basis. As a result, the investment in the MAP Venture is separately presented. All other unconsolidated real estate ventures are managed consistently with the Company’s regional segments.
[3] | See footnote (e) to the “Real estate investments, at cost” table above for further information regarding this segment.
[4] | Investment in real estate ventures does not include the $1.1 million negative investment balance in one real estate venture as of December 31, 2015, which is included in other liabilities. The Company disposed of its interest in this venture during the three-month period ended March 31, 2016. See Note 4, "Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures," for further information. The decrease primarily relates to distributions from the DRA-Austin real estate venture.
