Lease Inducements. Lease inducements represent incentives paid to tenants in conjunction with leasing space, such as moving costs, sublease arrangements of prior space and other costs. These amounts are amortized into rental revenues over the individual underlying lease terms.
Predevelopment Costs and Earnest Money. Predevelopment costs represent amounts that are capitalized related to predevelopment projects which the Company determines are probable of future development.
Investment in Verde Realty. The investment in Verde Realty, a cost method investment in a non-public real estate investment trust, was sold in 2012.
Intangible Assets. Intangible assets, other than goodwill, mainly relate to the acquisitions of 2100 Ross Avenue in 2012 and Promenade in 2011 (see note 9), with small amounts remaining relating to the 2006 acquisition of 191 Peachtree Tower. The Company acquired intangible liabilities with these purchases, including above-market and below-market leases, both of which are recorded within other assets and other liabilities on the balance sheets, respectively. Both above-market and below-market tenant leases are amortized into rental property revenues over the individual remaining lease terms. The above-market ground lease associated with 191 Peachtree Tower is amortized into rental property operating expenses over its remaining lease term. In-place leases are amortized into depreciation and amortization expense, also over the individual remaining lease terms. Aggregate net amortization expense related to intangible assets and liabilities was $3.3 million, $305,000 and $4,000 for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Over the next five years and thereafter, aggregate amortization of these intangible assets and liabilities is anticipated to be as follows (in thousands):

Goodwill relates entirely to the office reporting unit. As office assets are sold, either by the Company or by joint ventures in which the Company has an interest, goodwill is allocated to the cost of each sale.
