REAL ESTATE DISPOSITIONS
In accordance with ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (“ASU No. 2014-08”), results of operations and related gains (losses) on sale from properties that are classified as held for sale in the ordinary course of business on or subsequent to January 1, 2014 would generally be included in continuing operations on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company disposed of 12 office properties. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company did not dispose of any real estate properties. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company sold two office properties.
On November 8, 2017, the Company, through 11 wholly owned subsidiaries, sold 11 of its properties (the “Singapore Portfolio”) to various subsidiaries of Keppel-KBS US REIT, a newly formed Singapore real estate investment trust (the “SREIT”) that was listed on the Singapore Stock Exchange (the “Singapore Transaction”).  The sale price of the Singapore Portfolio was $804.0 million, before third-party closing costs of approximately $7.7 million and excluding any disposition fees payable to the Advisor. The SREIT paid a portion of the purchase price with approximately 44 million units of the SREIT (SGX Ticker: CMOU) representing 7% of outstanding units of the SREIT. The Singapore Portfolio consists of the following properties: 1800 West Loop, Westech 360 (part of the Austin Suburban Portfolio), Great Hills Plaza (part of the Austin Suburban Portfolio), Westmoor Center, Iron Point Business Park, the Plaza Buildings, Bellevue Technology Center, Northridge Center I and II, West Loop I and II, Powers Ferry Landing East and Maitland Promenade II. The carrying value of the Singapore Portfolio as of the disposition date was $543.2 million, which was net of $103.0 million of accumulated depreciation and amortization. The disposition of the Singapore Portfolio resulted in a gain of $236.9 million, of which $17.1 million was deferred based on the Company's percentage of the SREIT units owned, which reduced the carrying value of the SREIT units at closing. Additionally, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.5 million related to certain notes payable that were repaid in full with proceeds from the Singapore Transaction.
On July 11, 2013, the Company, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, acquired an office building containing 179,872 rentable square feet located in Boston, Massachusetts (“50 Congress Street”). On May 15, 2017, the Company sold 50 Congress Street to a purchaser unaffiliated with the Company or the Advisor for $79.0 million, or $78.8 million net of concessions and credits. The carrying value of 50 Congress Street as of the disposition date was $47.7 million, which was net of $5.9 million of accumulated depreciation and amortization. The Company recognized a gain on sale of $29.4 million related to the disposition of 50 Congress Street.
