Real Estate Properties Real Estate Properties
Our real estate properties, excluding those classified as held for sale, consisted of land of $789,125 and buildings and improvements of $6,621,605 as of December 31, 2020, and land of $793,123 and buildings and improvements of $6,668,463 as of December 31, 2019. Accumulated depreciation was $1,561,751 and $133,150 for buildings and improvements, respectively, as of December 31, 2020; and $1,428,850 and $141,951 for buildings and improvements, respectively, as of December 31, 2019.
Our portfolio as of December 31, 2020 includes: 123 medical office and life science properties with approximately 11.3 million rentable square feet; 264 senior living communities, including independent living (including active adult), assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing facilities, or SNFs, with 29,335 living units; and 10 wellness centers with approximately 812,000 square feet of interior space plus outdoor developed facilities.
We have accounted for our 2020, 2019 and 2018 acquisitions as acquisitions of assets. We funded these acquisitions using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility, unless otherwise noted.

(1)Cash paid plus assumed debt, if any, includes closing costs.
(2)Acquired from Five Star.

In January 2020, we acquired a vacant land parcel adjacent to a life science property we own located in Tempe, Arizona for $2,600, excluding acquisition costs.
Pursuant to the Restructuring Transaction, effective January 1, 2020, our previously existing master leases and management and pooling agreements with Five Star were terminated and replaced with new management agreements and a related omnibus agreement, or collectively, the Five Star management agreements, for all of our senior living communities operated by Five Star. See Notes 6 and 8 for further information regarding the Restructuring Transaction and the Transaction Agreement.
Impairment:
We regularly evaluate our assets for indicators of impairment. Impairment indicators may include declining tenant or resident occupancy, weak or declining profitability from the property, decreasing tenant cash flows or liquidity, our decision to dispose of an asset before the end of its estimated useful life, and legislative, market or industry changes that could permanently reduce the value of an asset. If indicators of impairment are present, we evaluate the carrying value of the affected assets by comparing it to the expected future cash flows to be generated from those assets. The future cash flows are subjective and are based in part on assumptions regarding hold periods, market rents and terminal capitalization rates. If the sum of these expected future cash flows is less than the carrying value, we reduce the net carrying value of the asset to its estimated fair value. See Note 10 for further information on impairment.
During 2020, we recorded impairment charges of $98,414 to adjust the carrying values of 28 senior living communities to their aggregate estimated fair value. These 28 senior living communities included nine senior living communities which we sold in 2020, seven senior living communities which we closed in 2020 and 10 senior living communities which are classified as held for sale in our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020. During 2020, we also recorded impairment charges of $8,558 to adjust the carrying value of seven medical office properties to their estimated fair value. We sold four of these medical office properties in 2020. One of these medical office properties is classified as held for sale in our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020. These impairment charges, in aggregate, are included in impairment of assets in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
During 2019, we recorded impairment charges of $72,166 to adjust the carrying values of 25 senior living communities to their aggregate estimated fair value. These 25 senior living communities included 15 SNFs which we sold in September 2019 and eight senior living communities which we sold in 2020. Two of these 25 senior living communities were
classified as held for sale in our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019. During 2019, we also recorded impairment charges of $43,035 to adjust the carrying value of 20 medical office properties and one life science property to their estimated fair value. We sold five of these medical office properties, along with the life science property, in 2019. The remaining 15 medical office properties were classified as held for sale in our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019. In 2020, we sold 10 of these 15 medical office properties classified as held for sale. These impairment charges, in aggregate, are included in impairment of assets in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
During 2018, we recorded impairment charges of $46,797 to adjust the carrying values of 13 medical office properties to their aggregate estimated fair value. Two of these medical office properties were classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2018. We sold all 13 of these medical office properties during 2019. During 2018, we also recorded impairment charges of $19,549 to write off unamortized lease assets related to lease defaults at three of our triple net leased senior living communities located in California, Colorado and Oregon that were leased to third party operators. As a result of these leases being terminated, or during the termination process, we concluded that there was no value to the unamortized lease assets and wrote them off completely during 2018. In June 2018, we reached an agreement with the tenant leasing the senior living community located in California and its guarantor to settle past due amounts, terminate the lease and transfer operations, and in connection with this agreement, we received $2,150 of settlement proceeds. In November 2018, we reached an agreement with the tenant leasing the senior living community in Colorado to terminate the lease and transfer operations. In April 2019, we reached an agreement with the tenant leasing the senior living community in Oregon to terminate the lease and transfer operations. We entered management agreements with Five Star to operate these communities for our account under TRS structures. These impairment charges, in aggregate, are included in impairment of assets in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
Dispositions:
During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, we sold 27, 46, and five properties, respectively, for aggregate sales prices of $152,893, $260,783, and $334,865, respectively, excluding closing costs, as presented in the table below. The sales of these properties do not represent significant dispositions individually or in the aggregate, nor do we believe they represent a strategic shift in our business. As a result, the results of the operation for these properties are included in continuing operations through the date of sale of such properties in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized $225 related to bed sales at one of our senior living communities.
We classify all properties as held for sale in our consolidated balance sheets that meet the applicable criteria for that treatment as set forth in the Property, Plant and Equipment Topic of the Codification. As of December 31, 2020, we had 10 senior living communities with 820 units and five medical office and life science properties with 355,656 square feet classified as held for sale. As of December 31, 2019, we had 21 medical office and life science properties with 875,617 square feet and 12 senior living communities with 1,670 units classified as held for sale. As of December 31, 2018, we had two medical office properties with 32,604 square feet classified as held for sale.
In February 2021, we sold one medical office property classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2020 for a sales price of $9,000, excluding closing costs.
As of February 23, 2021, we had four properties under an agreement to sell for a sales price of approximately $95,500, excluding closing costs. We may not complete the sales of any or all of the properties we currently plan to sell. Also, we may sell some or all of these properties at amounts that are less than currently expected and/or less than the carrying values of such properties and we may incur losses on any such sales as a result.
Investments and Capital Expenditures:
During 2020 and 2019, pursuant to the terms of our existing leases, we invested $2,138 and $1,739, respectively, in revenue producing capital improvements at certain of our senior living communities leased to third-party operators. As a result of these investments, annual rental income payable to us increased by approximately $135 and $90, respectively, pursuant to the terms of the applicable leases. Under our previously existing leases with Five Star, Five Star could request that we purchase certain improvements to the leased communities and, until we entered into the Transaction Agreement, the annual rent payable to us by Five Star would increase in accordance with a formula specified in the applicable lease in return for such purchases. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we purchased $17,956 of such improvements and Five Star's annual rent payable to us increased by $1,433 in accordance with the terms of the applicable leases. Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, the $111,603 of improvements to communities leased to Five Star, including $49,155 of fixed assets and improvements that were purchased pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, that we funded during the year ended December 31, 2019 did not result in increased rent payable by Five Star. See Note 6 for further information regarding the Restructuring Transaction and the Transaction Agreement.
During 2020, we committed $17,901 for capital expenditures related to 1.0 million square feet of leases executed at our medical office and life science properties. During 2019, we committed $30,135 for capital expenditures related to 1.5 million square feet of leases executed at our medical office and life science properties.
Committed and unspent tenant related obligations based on executed leases as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $19,159 and $23,994, respectively.
For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, we recorded capitalized interest of $1,833, $1,124 and $124, respectively.
In July 2019, a tenant in our Office Portfolio segment vacated three buildings with an aggregate of 164,091 square feet in California. After evaluating our options, we determined to, and have since substantially completed, a full redevelopment of these buildings.
