Schedule of Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated VIEs
The following table presents activity in redeemable non-controlling interest in Consolidated VIEs for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively (dollar amounts in thousands):

Beginning balance$12,359 $28,061 
Contributions— 39

Net loss attributable to redeemable non-controlling interest in Consolidated VIEs(3,627)(14,400)
Adjustment of redeemable non-controlling interest to estimated redemption value (1)
5,337 6,428 
Ending balance$13,382 $20,128 

(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 allocatable 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 as of March 31, 2025 include a weighted average capitalization rate of 5.6% (ranges from 5.0% to 6.3%) and a weighted average discount rate of 14.8% (ranges from 13.6% to 15.6%).
