Operating Properties

During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, we acquired the nine operating office properties, listed below, from unrelated third parties. Unless otherwise noted, we funded these acquisitions with proceeds from the Company’s public offerings of common stock and the Company's at-the-market stock offering program (see Note 10 “Stockholders’ Equity of the Company”), borrowings under the unsecured line of credit (see Note 7 “Secured and Unsecured Debt of the Operating Partnership”), disposition proceeds (see Note 18 “Discontinued Operations”), the assumption of existing debt and/or the issuance of common units of the Operating Partnership.

As of December 31, 2014, these properties, together the "Chesapeake Commons" project, were temporarily being held in a separate VIE to facilitate potential Section 1031 Exchanges (see Note 2 "Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies").

In connection with this acquisition, we assumed secured debt with an outstanding principal balance of $83.9 million that was recorded at fair value on the acquisition date, resulting in a premium of approximately $11.6 million (see Note 7 “Secured and Unsecured Debt of the Operating Partnership” for additional information).
(6)
As of December 31, 2013, these properties, together the "Heights of Del Mar" project, were temporarily being held in a separate VIE to facilitate potential Section 1031 Exchanges (see Note 2 "Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies").

In connection with this acquisition, we also assumed $2.3 million in accrued liabilities, which are not included in the purchase price above.

The acquisitions, which were completed through the execution of two merger transactions, were partially funded through the issuance of 351,476 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at approximately $21.6 million and the remainder was paid in cash.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, we acquired the following land site and land previously subject to a ground lease listed below from unrelated third parties.

In connection with this acquisition, we also assumed $0.7 million in accrued liabilities, which are not included in the purchase price above. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the project is included in our future development pipeline and, as a result, the underlying assets were included as undeveloped land and construction in progress in our consolidated financial statements.

Additionally, on June 27, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with an unaffiliated third party and formed Redwood LLC, a new consolidated subsidiary.
