[3] | On December 20, 2018, the Company contributed a portfolio of eight properties containing an aggregate of 1,293,197 square feet, located in its Metropolitan Washington, D.C. segment (the “Rockpoint Portfolio”) to a newly-formed joint venture (the “Herndon Innovation Center Metro Portfolio Venture, LLC”) for a gross sales price of $312.0 million. The Company and its partner own 15% and 85% interests in the Herndon Innovation Center Metro Portfolio Venture, LLC, respectively. The Herndon Innovation Center Metro Portfolio Venture, LLC funded the acquisition with $265.2 million of cash, which was distributed to the Company at closing. After funding its share of closing costs and working capital contributions of $2.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively, the Company received $262.4 million of cash proceeds at settlement. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $56.9 million for the Rockpoint Portfolio during the third quarter of 2018. The Company recorded a $0.4 million gain on sale, which represents an adjustment to estimated closing costs used to determine the impairment charge in the third quarter of 2018. For further information related to this transaction, see the “Herndon Innovation Center Metro Portfolio Venture, LLC” section in Note 4, “Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures.”
