Assets and Liabilities of Disposal Group Held for Sale

9. Assets and Liabilities of Disposal Group Held for Sale

In September 2022, the Company announced a repositioning of its business through the opportunistic disposition over time of the Company's joint venture equity investments in multi-family properties and reallocation of its capital away from such assets to its targeted assets. Accordingly, the Company determined that certain joint venture equity investments met the criteria to be classified as held for sale and transferred either the assets and liabilities of the respective Consolidated VIEs or its equity investment in the joint venture entity to assets and liabilities of disposal group held for sale. In December 2023, the Company suspended the marketing of nine joint venture equity investments that were reported in assets and liabilities of disposal group held for sale primarily due to unfavorable market conditions and a lack of transactional activity in the multi-family market. As such, the Company determined that these joint venture equity investments no longer met the criteria to be classified as held for sale and transferred either the assets and liabilities of the respective Consolidated VIEs or its equity investment in the joint venture entity to their respective categories or equity investments, at fair value, respectively, on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023.

In March 2024, the Company suspended the marketing of one additional joint venture equity investment, determined that it no longer met the criteria to be classified as held for sale and transferred the assets and liabilities of the Consolidated VIE to their respective categories on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2024. As a result of this transfer, the Company adjusted the carrying value of the long-lived assets in the Consolidated VIE to the lower of the carrying amount before the assets were classified as held for sale adjusted for depreciation and amortization expense that would have been recognized had the assets been continuously classified as held and used and the fair value of the assets at the date of the transfer and recognized an approximately $14.6 million loss on reclassification of disposal group during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

In June 2024, in response to productive negotiations with operating partners and increased transactional activity, the Company determined that five joint venture equity investments met the criteria to be classified as held for sale and transferred the assets and liabilities of the respective Consolidated VIEs to assets and liabilities of disposal group held for sale on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2024. As a result, the Company recognized a loss of $1.8 million included in impairment of real estate in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Seven joint venture equity investments are classified as disposal group held for sale as of June 30, 2024.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company sold its joint venture equity investments in one and two multi-family properties, respectively, which resulted in the de-consolidation of the joint venture entities' assets and liabilities and a gain on de-consolidation of approximately $0.3 million, which is included in other income (loss) in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
