Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
Heritage Commons X, LTD
In June 2018, the Company, through an SPE, wholly owned by the Current Operating Partnership, formed a joint venture (the "Heritage Common X") for the construction and ownership of a four-story, Class "A" office building with a net rentable area of approximately 200,000 square feet located in Fort Worth, Texas (the "Heritage Commons Property"). The Heritage Commons Property was completed in April 2019 and is 100% leased to Mercedes-Benz Financial Services USA.
On July 17, 2019, Heritage Common X sold the Heritage Trace Parkway property located in Fort Worth, TX. The remaining balance as of March 31, 2020 represents approximately $0.4 million of escrow holdback deposit.
Digital Realty Trust, Inc.
In September 2014, the Company, through an SPE, wholly owned by the Current Operating Partnership, acquired an 80% interest in a joint venture with an affiliate of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. for $68.4 million, which was funded with equity proceeds raised in the Company's public offerings. The gross acquisition value of the property was $187.5 million, plus closing costs, which was partially financed with debt of $102.0 million. The joint venture was created for purposes of directly or indirectly acquiring, owning, financing, operating and maintaining a data center facility located in Ashburn, Virginia (the "Property"). The Property is approximately 132,300 square feet and consists of certain data processing and communications equipment that is fully leased to a social media company and a financial services company with an average remaining lease term of approximately three years.
The interests discussed above are deemed to be variable interests in variable interest entities ("VIE") and, based on an evaluation of the variable interests against the criteria for consolidation, the Company determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of the investments, as the Company does not have power to direct the activities of the entities that most significantly affect their performance. As such, the interest in the VIEs are recorded using the equity method of accounting in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Under the equity method, the investments in the unconsolidated entities are stated at cost and adjusted for the Company’s share of net earnings or losses and reduced by distributions. Equity in earnings of real estate ventures is generally recognized based on the allocation of cash distributions upon liquidation of the investment at book value in accordance with the operating agreements. The Company's maximum exposure to losses associated with its unconsolidated investments is primarily limited to its carrying value in the investments.
