Acquisitions and Dispositions

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2018

Acquisitions and dispositions for the periods presented were completed in accordance with our strategy to reposition our investment concentration among the product types and markets in which we operate and to increase our overall investments in quality industrial projects. With the exception of certain properties that have been sold or classified as held-for-sale, the results of operations for all acquired properties have been included in continuing operations within our consolidated financial statements since their respective dates of acquisition. Transaction costs related to asset acquisitions are capitalized and transaction costs related to business combinations and dispositions are expensed.

Acquisitions

We paid cash of $208.9 million and $237.5 million for asset acquisitions during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

We acquired six properties during the six months ended June 30, 2018. We determined that these six properties did not meet the definition of a business and, accordingly, we accounted for them as asset acquisitions as opposed to business combinations.

The following table summarizes amounts recognized for each major class of assets and liability (in thousands) for these acquisitions during the six months ended June 30, 2018:



Real estate assets	$	191,551
Lease related intangible assets	18,566
Total acquired assets	210,117
Below market lease liability	504
Fair value of acquired net assets	$	209,613

The leases in the acquired properties had a weighted average remaining life at acquisition of approximately 12.3 years.

Fair Value Measurements

We determine the fair value of the individual components of real estate asset acquisitions primarily through calculating the "as-if vacant" value of a building, using an income approach, which relies significantly upon internally determined assumptions. We have determined that these estimates primarily rely upon level 3 inputs, which are unobservable inputs based on our own assumptions. The most significant assumptions used in calculating the "as-if vacant" value for acquisition activity during the six months ended June 30, 2018 are as follows:



	Low	High
Exit capitalization rate	4.25%	4.91%
Net rental rate per square foot	$6.50	$10.20

Capitalized acquisition costs were insignificant and the fair value of the six properties acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2018 was substantially the same as the cost of acquisition.

Dispositions

Dispositions of buildings and undeveloped land generated net cash proceeds of $433.6 million and $1.98 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2018, we collected $149.9 million of principal on notes receivable primarily related to the sale of our medical office properties during 2017, which is reflected within Other Assets within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The number of buildings sold, as well as their classification between continuing and discontinued operations, is disclosed in Note 10.
