Real Estate Held for Sale in Consolidated VIEs

In March 2017, the Company determined that it became the primary beneficiary of Riverchase Landing and The Clusters, two VIEs that each owned a multi-family apartment community and in each of which the Company held a preferred equity investment. Accordingly, the Company consolidated both Riverchase Landing and The Clusters into its consolidated financial statements (see Note 9).

During the second quarter of 2017, Riverchase Landing determined to actively market its multi-family apartment community for sale and completed the sale in March 2018, recognizing a net gain on sale of approximately $2.3 million, which is included in other income and is allocated to net income attributable to non-controlling interest in consolidated variable interest entities on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. In connection with the sale, the Company’s preferred equity investment was redeemed, resulting in de-consolidation of Riverchase Landing as of the date of the sale.

During the third quarter of 2017, The Clusters determined to actively market its multi-family apartment community for sale and completed the sale in February 2019, recognizing a net gain on sale of approximately $1.6 million, which is included in other income and is allocated to net income attributable to non-controlling interest in consolidated variable interest entities on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. In connection with the sale, the Company’s preferred equity investment was redeemed, resulting in de-consolidation of The Clusters as of the date of the sale.
