2015 Significant Property Acquisitions and Dispositions
In January 2015, we acquired a controlling interest in San Antonio Center, a 376,000 square foot shopping center in Mountain View, California based on a total value of $62.2 million. Our effective interest approximates 80% and was funded by the assumption of our share of $18.7 million of mortgage debt, 58,000 downREIT operating partnership units, and $27 million of cash. A portion of the land is controlled under a long-term ground lease. Approximately $8.1 million of assets acquired were allocated to lease intangibles and included within other assets. Approximately $19.1 million was allocated to lease intangibles primarily related to "below market leases," and is included within other liabilities. Additionally, $16.3 million was allocated to noncontrolling interests. We incurred $1.8 million of acquisition costs, of which $1.1 million were incurred in 2015, and included in "general and administrative expense" in 2015 and 2014.
On February 25, 2015, we acquired the interest of one of the noncontrolling interest holders in The Grove at Shrewsbury for $8.8 million. As this noncontrolling interest was mandatorily redeemable, it was classified as a liability and was included in "other liabilities and deferred credits" on the accompanying December 31, 2014 consolidated balance sheet.
On April 24, 2015, we sold our Houston Street property in San Antonio, Texas for a sales price of $46.1 million, resulting in a gain of $11.5 million.
On May 4, 2015, we acquired CocoWalk, a 198,000 square foot retail property located in the Coconut Grove neighborhood of Miami, Florida for $87.5 million. The acquisition was completed through a newly formed entity ("CocoWalk LLC") for which we own a preferred interest and an 80% common interest. Approximately $1.5 million and $4.3 million of net assets acquired were allocated to other assets for "above market leases," and other liabilities for "below market leases," respectively. Additionally, approximately $6.9 million was allocated to noncontrolling interests. On July 1, 2015 and December 16, 2015, we acquired partial interests in eight buildings in the Coconut Grove neighborhood of Miami, Florida for $7.8 million through our CocoWalk LLC entity. In total, we incurred $1.1 million in acquisition costs which are included in "general and administrative expenses" in 2015.
On July 8, 2015 we acquired a parcel of land adjacent to our Pike 7 Plaza property for $5.0 million.
On October 1, 2015, we acquired The Shops at Sunset Place, a 515,000 square foot mixed-use property located in South Miami, Florida based on a gross value of $110.2 million. The acquisition was completed through a newly formed entity for which we own an 85% interest. Approximately $4.8 million and $6.6 million of net assets acquired were allocated to other assets for "above market leases," and other liabilities for "below market leases," respectively. Additionally, approximately $6.3 million was allocated to noncontrolling interests. We incurred $0.9 million of acquisition costs, which are included in "general and administrative expenses" in 2015. The transaction includes the assumption of an existing $70.8 million mortgage loan.
On November 19, 2015, we sold our Courtyard Shops property in Wellington, Florida for a sales price of $52.8 million, resulting in a gain of $16.8 million.
2014 Significant Property Acquisition
Effective January 1, 2014, we acquired a controlling interest in The Grove at Shrewsbury, a 187,000 square foot shopping center in Shrewsbury, New Jersey, and Brook 35, a 99,000 square foot shopping center in Sea Girt, New Jersey for a gross value of $161 million. Our effective economic interest approximates 84% and was funded by the assumption of our share of $68 million of mortgage debt, 632,000 downREIT operating partnership units, and $13 million of cash (which was in an escrow account at December 31, 2013). Approximately $1.7 million and $2.3 million of net assets acquired were allocated to other assets for "above market leases" and other liabilities for "below market leases," respectively. Additionally, $71.1 million was allocated to redeemable and nonredeemable noncontrolling interests. We incurred $2.0 million of acquisition costs, of which $1.0 million were incurred in 2014, and are included in "general and administrative expenses" in 2014 and 2013, on the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
