NOTE 4  ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

 

On January 18, 2017, we closed on a land sale of approximately 36 acres of our 100 acre property, The Outlet Collection at Elk Grove, for gross sales proceeds of $36.0 million, resulting in a pretax gain of $32.2 million. We plan to develop the remaining 64 acres. Commencement of construction is dependent on meeting internal pre-leasing and financing requirements for the project.

 

On January 6, 2017, we acquired the 11.4-acre Macy’s store and parking lot at Landmark Mall in Alexandria, VA, for $22.2 million. The Macy’s parcel is adjacent to the Landmark Mall, which we own and operate, and is located approximately nine miles from Washington, D.C. We plan to transform the mall and Macy’s parcel into an open-air, mixed-use community with retail, residential and entertainment components.

 

On December 29, 2016, we sold Park West, a non-core 249,177 square foot open-air shopping, dining and entertainment destination in Peoria, Arizona for net cash proceeds of $32.5 million, resulting in a loss of $1.1 million, net of transaction costs. This loss is in addition to an impairment charge recorded in the third quarter 2016 to adjust the asset to fair value in anticipation of its sale (also see Note 6 – Impairment). As this asset was unleveraged, the sale will allow us to redeploy the net cash proceeds into acquisitions or our existing developments. 

 

On December 20, 2016, we acquired the American City Building for $13.5 million. We are currently formulating plans for the property. 

 

On December 19, 2016, we acquired One Mall North, a 97,500 square foot, 100% leased office building in Columbia, Maryland, for $22.2 million. The office building parcel and surface parking total 5.37 acres.

 

On July 20, 2016, we acquired our joint venture partner’s 18.57% interest in the 314-unit Millennium Six Pines Apartments (formerly known as Millennium Woodlands Phase II, LLC) for $4.0 million resulting in the dissolution of the joint venture and consolidation of the asset in our financial statements. Simultaneously with the buyout, we replaced the joint venture’s existing $37.7 million construction loan with a $42.5 million fixed rate loan at 3.39% maturing August 1, 2028. Total assets of $67.9 million and liabilities of $42.7 million, including the fixed rate loan noted above, were consolidated into our financial statements at fair value as of the acquisition date. In accordance with GAAP, we recognized a gain of $27.1 million in conjunction with this acquisition relating to the step-up to fair value of the assets acquired. Prior to the acquisition, we accounted for our investment in Millennium Six Pines Apartments under the equity method. We now own 100% of this Class A multi-family property located in The Woodlands Town Center. Included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2016 are revenues of $2.7 million and a pre-tax net loss of $0.4 million since the acquisition date.

 

On June 1, 2016, the Circle T Ranch and Power Center joint venture sold approximately 72 acres to a subsidiary of Charles Schwab Corporation. Our financial results for the year ended December 31, 2016 reflect $10.5 million of pre-tax income on this transaction.

 

On March 16, 2016, we sold the 80 South Street Assemblage (“80 South Street”) for net cash proceeds of $378.3 million, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $140.5 million. 80 South Street was comprised of a 42,694 square foot lot with certain air rights, providing total residential and commercial development rights of 817,784 square feet that had been acquired over the course of 2014 and 2015.

 

On September 4, 2015, the Company sold The Club at Carlton Woods, its 36-hole golf and country club in The Woodlands, for net cash proceeds of $25.1 million, and purchaser’s assumption of net liabilities of $4.0 million, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $29.1 million. The property was comprised of total assets of $20.9 million and total liabilities of $24.9 million. The property was developed and operated by us as an amenity for selling residential lots in a gated community in The Woodlands. Most of the lots have been sold, and the sale of this asset allowed us to redeploy capital to our development activities.
