4. Vornado Capital Partners Real Estate Fund (the “Fund”)

 

We are the general partner and investment manager of the Fund. The Fund is accounted for under the AICPA Investment Company Guide and its investments are reported on its balance sheet at fair value, with changes in value each period recognized in earnings. We consolidate the accounts of the Fund into our consolidated financial statements, retaining the fair value basis of accounting.

 

On June 26, 2014, the Fund sold its 64.7% interest in One Park Avenue to a newly formed joint venture that we and an institutional investor own 55% and 45%, respectively (see Note 7 - Investments in Partially Owned Entities - One Park Avenue). This transaction was based on a property value of $560,000,000. From the inception of this investment through its disposition, the Fund realized a $75,069,000 net gain.

 

On June 24, 2014, the Fund and its 50% joint venture partner entered into an agreement to sell Georgetown Park, a 305,000 square foot retail property, for $272,500,000.

 

At June 30, 2014, the Fund had eight investments with an aggregate fair value of $549,091,000, or $189,571,000 in excess of cost, and had remaining unfunded commitments of $142,118,000, of which our share was $35,529,000.
