Accumulated depreciation | (28,913 | ) |  | (24,051 | )
Real estate, net | $ | 587,969 |  |  | $ | 538,953 |
Real estate depreciation expense on these tangible assets was approximately $2.6 million and $4.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, and $2.0 million and $3.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. Included in the figures above are amounts related to improvements made on certain of our properties paid for by our tenants but owned by us, or tenant improvements. As of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, we recorded tenant improvements, net of accumulated depreciation, of approximately $2.2 million and $2.4 million, respectively. We recorded both depreciation expense and additional lease revenue related to these tenant improvements of approximately $72,000 and $146,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, and approximately $74,000 and $150,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. Intangible Assets and Liabilities The following table summarizes the carrying values of certain lease intangible assets and the related accumulated amortization as of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018 (dollars in thousands):
|  | June 30, 2019 |  | December 31, 2018

(2) | Net below-market lease values and other deferred revenue are included as a part of Other liabilities, net on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the related accretion is recorded as an increase to Lease revenue on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Total amortization related to above-market lease values and lease incentives was approximately $33,000 and $66,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, and approximately $2,000 and $4,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. Total accretion related to below-market lease values and other deferred revenue was approximately $39,000 and $77,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, and approximately $17,000 and $34,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. Acquisitions Upon our adoption of ASU 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business,” on October 1, 2016, most acquisitions, including those with a prior leasing history, are generally treated as an asset acquisition under ASC 360. For acquisitions accounted for as asset acquisitions under ASC 360, all acquisition-related costs, other than those costs that directly related to either originating new leases we execute upon acquisition or reviewing in-place leases we assumed upon acquisition, are capitalized and included as part of the fair value allocation of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired or liabilities assumed. Upon our adoption of ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019, costs that directly related to either negotiating and originating new leases or reviewing assumed leases (generally, external legal costs) are expensed as incurred, whereas these costs were generally capitalized as part of leasing costs under the previous leasing standard. In addition, total consideration for acquisitions may include a combination of cash and equity securities, such as OP Units. When OP Units are issued in connection with acquisitions, we determine the fair value of the OP Units issued based on the number of units issued multiplied by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of acquisition. Unless otherwise noted, all properties acquired during 2019 and 2018 were accounted for as asset acquisitions under ASC 360. 2019 Acquisitions During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we acquired five new farms, which are summarized in the table below (dollars in thousands):

Significant Existing Real Estate Activity Leasing Activity The following table summarizes certain leasing activity that occurred on our existing properties during the six months ended June 30, 2019 (dollars in thousands, except footnotes):
|  |  |  | PRIOR LEASES(1) |  | NEW LEASES(2)
Farm Locations | Number of Leases | Total Farm Acres |  | Total Annualized Straight-line Rent(3) | # of Leases with Participation Rents | Lease Structures (# of NNN / NN)(4) |  | Total Annualized Straight-line Rent(3) | Wtd.

(1) | Includes a farm that was previously vacant.
(2) | In connection with certain of these leases, we committed to provide aggregate capital of up to $420,000 for certain improvements on these farms.
(3) | Annualized straight-line rent is based on the minimum cash rental payments guaranteed under the applicable leases (presented on an annualized basis), as required under GAAP, and excludes contingent rental payments, such as participation rents.
(4) | “NNN” refers to leases under triple-net lease arrangements, and “NN” refers to leases under partial-net lease arrangements. For a description of each of these types of lease arrangements, see “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Overview—Leases—General.”
See Note 11, “Subsequent Events—Leasing Activity” for additional leasing activity that occurred subsequent to June 30, 2019. Project Completion During the year ended December 31, 2018, we replaced 23 irrigation pivots on one of our properties in Colorado at a total cost of approximately $1.4 million. Pursuant to a lease amendment executed during the six months ended June 30, 2019, in connection with this project, we will earn additional straight-line rental income of approximately $117,000 per year throughout the remaining term of the lease, which expires on February 28, 2021. Future Minimum Lease Payments We account for all of our leasing arrangements in which we are the lessor as operating leases. The majority of our leases are subject to fixed rental increases, and a small subset of our lease portfolio includes lease payments based on an index, such as the consumer price index (“CPI”). In addition, several of our leases contain participation rent components based on the gross revenues earned on the respective farms. Most of our leases also include tenant renewal options; however, these renewal options are generally based on then-current market rates and are therefore typically excluded from the determination of the minimum lease term. Our leases do not generally include tenant termination options. The following table summarizes the future lease payments to be received under non-cancelable leases as of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018 (dollars in thousands):
|  | Future Lease Payments(1)
Period |  | June 30, 2019 |  | December 31, 2018

(1) | According to the California Chapter of the American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers, there are eight distinct growing regions within California; our farms are spread across five of these growing regions.
Concentrations Credit Risk As of June 30, 2019, our farms were leased to 64 different, unrelated third-party tenants, with certain tenants leasing more than one farm. One unrelated third-party tenant (“Tenant A”) leases five of our farms, and aggregate lease revenue attributable to Tenant A accounted for approximately $2.2 million, or 13.6%, of the total lease revenue recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2019. If Tenant A fails to make rental payments, elects to terminate its leases prior to their expirations, or does not renew its leases (and we cannot re-lease the farms on satisfactory terms), there could be a material adverse effect on our financial performance and ability to continue operations. No other individual tenant represented greater than 10.0% of the total lease revenue recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2019. Geographic Risk Farms located in California and Florida accounted for approximately $7.9 million (48.8%) and $4.7 million (29.0%), respectively, of the total lease revenue recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2019. Though we seek to continue to further diversify geographically, as may be desirable or feasible, should an unexpected natural disaster occur where our properties are located, there could be a material adverse effect on our financial performance and ability to continue operations. No other single state accounted for more than 10.0% of our total lease revenue recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2019.
