See Note 9 for additional information.

Ending balance$34,571 $37,101 $34,571 $37,101 

(1)The Company determines the fair value of the redeemable non-controlling interest utilizing market assumptions and discounted cash flows. The Company applies a discount rate to the estimated future cash flows from the multi-family apartment properties held by the applicable Consolidated VIEs that are allocable to the redeemable non-controlling interest. This fair value measurement is generally based on unobservable inputs and, as such, is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Significant unobservable inputs utilized in the estimation of fair value of redeemable non-controlling interest include a weighted average capitalization rate of 5.6% (ranges from 5.3% to 6.5%) and a weighted average discount rate of 14.7% (ranges from 13.6% to 15.6%).
