2013 Significant Property Acquisitions and Dispositions

On April 3, 2013, we acquired the fee interest in a 95,000 square foot retail property located in Darien, Connecticut for $47.3 million. Approximately $0.1 million and $1.8 million of net assets acquired were allocated to other assets for "above market leases" and other liabilities for "below market leases", respectively. We incurred $0.2 million of acquisition costs which are included in "general and administrative expenses" in 2013.

On April 5, 2013, one of our tenants acquired our fee interest in the land under an office building at our Village of Shirlington property in Arlington, Virginia, that was subject to a long term ground lease. The ground lease included an option for the tenant to purchase the fee interest. The sales price was $6.5 million, and the gain was $5.0 million.

On July 22, 2013, we sold the fee interest in our final building at Fifth Avenue in San Diego, California, for a sales price of $15.3 million resulting in a gain of $10.7 million. On September 10, 2013 we sold the fee interest in a building in Forest Hills (Queens), New York, for a sales price of $20.4 million resulting in a gain of $13.2 million. Both sales were completed as a Section 1031 tax deferred exchange transaction with the acquisition of the property in Darien.

On October 1, 2013, we acquired the fee interest in an 11.8 acre land parcel adjacent to our Assembly Row development project for a purchase price of $18.0 million.

On December 19, 2013, we acquired the fee interest in a land parcel contiguous with our Montrose Crossing shopping center that is encumbered by two retail ground leases. The total purchase price was $10.5 million and our 89.9% share was $9.4 million.

2012 Significant Property Acquisitions
In July and September 2012, we acquired three residential apartment buildings with 47 units located adjacent to Santana Row for $9.0 million. These properties provide potential future redevelopment opportunities for Santana Row.

On December 21, 2012, we acquired the fee interest in East Bay Bridge, a 438,000 square foot shopping center located in Emeryville and Oakland, California. The purchase price was $116.6 million which included the assumption of a mortgage loan with a face amount of $62.9 million and a fair value of approximately $67.6 million.  Approximately $0.9 million and $47.8 million of net assets acquired were allocated to other assets for “above market leases” and other liabilities for “below market leases”, respectively. Additionally, we acquired a 37,000 square foot single-tenant office/warehouse building in Ontario, California for $2.5 million as part of the transaction (which was subsequently sold in 2013 for $2.5 million). We incurred a total of $0.9 million of acquisition costs which are included in “general and administrative expenses” in 2012.
