(A)

As a result of an aggregate valuation allowance on its preferred equity interests in the BRE DDR Joint Ventures that were transferred or redeemed in the fourth quarter of 2020.

(B)

In 2021, the impairment charges recorded were triggered by a change in the hold period assumptions.  In 2020 and 2019, impairments recorded were triggered by indicative bids received.  

Items Measured at Fair Value

For the valuation of the preferred equity interests, prior to the closing of the transactions with Blackstone, the significant assumptions used in the discounted cash flow analysis included the discount rate, projected net operating income, the timing of the expected redemption and the exit capitalization rates.  For operational real estate assets, the significant valuation assumptions included the capitalization rate used in the income capitalization valuation, as well as the projected property net operating income.  For projects under development or not at stabilization, the significant assumptions included the discount rate, the timing and the estimated costs for the construction completion and project stabilization, projected net operating income and the exit capitalization rate.  These valuations were calculated based on market conditions and assumptions made by management at the time the valuation adjustments and impairments were recorded, which may differ materially from actual results if market conditions or the underlying assumptions change.  

The following table presents information about the fair value of real estate that was impaired, and therefore, measured on a fair value basis, along with the related impairment charge, for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019.  The table also indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques used by the Company to determine such fair value (in millions).
