Post Oak Central/ Terminus Transactions
In February 2013, the Company purchased the remaining 80% interest in MSREF/ Cousins Terminus 200 LLC for $53.8 million and simultaneously repaid the mortgage loan secured by the Terminus 200 property in the amount of $74.6 million. The Company recognized a gain of $19.7 million on this acquisition achieved in stages. Immediately thereafter, the Company contributed its interest in the Terminus 200 property and its interest in the Terminus 100 property, together with the existing mortgage loan secured by the Terminus 100 property, to a newly-formed entity, Terminus Office Holdings LLC (“TOH”), and sold 50% of TOH to institutional investors advised by J.P. Morgan Asset Management for $112.2 million. The Company recognized a gain of $37.1 million on this transaction. The Company incurred $122,000 in acquisition costs related to these transactions, which were recorded in other expense on the statements of operations. In March 2013, Terminus Venture T200 LLC, an affiliate of TOH, closed a new mortgage loan on the Terminus 200 property in the amount of $82.0 million, and the Company received a distribution of $39.2 million from TOH as a result. The Company accounts for its interest in TOH under the equity method because both partners have the ability to participate in and approve major decisions of the venture and, therefore, have substantive participating rights in the venture. 
Concurrently, the Company purchased Post Oak Central, a 1.3 million square foot, Class-A office complex in the Galleria district of Houston, Texas for $230.9 million, net of rent credits, from an affiliate of J.P. Morgan Asset Management. The Company incurred $373,000 in acquisition costs related to this purchase, which were recorded in other expense on the statements of operations.
