Fund II, a $750.0 million discretionary fund, was formed on May 14, 2008 and was fully invested at February 10, 2012. Fund II was structured with Teacher Retirement System of Texas ("TRST") as a 70% investor and the Company as a 30% investor in the fund, with an original target capital structure of approximately $375.0 million of equity capital and $375.0 million of non-recourse, fixed-rate first mortgage debt. In August 2012, Fund II increased its investment capacity by $20.0 million to purchase Hayden Ferry Lakeside III, IV and V, a 2,500 space parking garage, a 21,000 square foot office property and a vacant parcel of development land, all adjacent to Hayden Ferry Lakeside I and Hayden Ferry Lakeside II in Phoenix. In August 2013, Fund II expanded its investment guidelines solely for the purpose of authorizing the purchase of a parcel of land available for development in Tempe, Arizona. In April 2014, Fund II authorized the development of Hayden Ferry Lakeside III, as well as the transfer of an interest in the owner of Hayden Ferry Lakeside III, a subsidiary of Fund II, to Parkway Properties LP (our "operating partnership"), such that the Company owns a 70% indirect interest in Hayden Ferry Lakeside III.

The Company serves as the general partner of Fund II and provides asset management, property management, leasing and construction management services to the fund, for which it is paid market-based fees.  Cash is distributed by Fund II pro rata to each partner until a 9% annual cumulative preferred return is received and invested capital is returned.  Thereafter, 56% will be distributed to TRST and 44% to Parkway.  The term of Fund II is seven years from the date the fund was fully invested, or until February 2019, with provisions to extend the term for two additional one-year periods at the Company's discretion.

Murano Condominium Project

The Company also consolidates its Murano residential condominium project which it controls. The Company's unaffiliated partner's interest is reflected on the Company's consolidated balance sheets under the "Noncontrolling Interests" caption. The Company's partner has an ownership interest of 27%. Net proceeds from the project are distributed, to the extent available, based on an order of preferences described in the partnership agreement. The Company may receive distributions, if any, in excess of its 73% ownership interest if certain return thresholds are met.

Other Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interest also includes (a) 900,000 issued and outstanding common units in our operating partnership that were issued in connection with our acquisition of Lincoln Place, and (b) approximately 4.3 million outstanding common units in our operating partnership that were issued in exchange for outstanding limited partnership interests in Thomas Properties Group, L.P. in connection with the Mergers.

Noncontrolling interests - real estate partnership represents the other partner's proportionate share of equity in the partnership discussed above at March 31, 2014. Income is allocated to noncontrolling interest based on the weighted average percentage ownership during the year.
