NOTE 4—DISPOSITIONS

2020 Activity

In March 2020, we formed the Ventas Life Science and Healthcare Real Estate Fund, L.P. (the “Fund”), a perpetual life vehicle that focuses on investments in research and innovation centers, medical office buildings and senior housing communities in North America. To seed the Fund, we contributed six (two of which are on the same campus) stabilized research and innovation and medical office properties. We received cash consideration of $620 million and a 21% interest in the Fund. We recognized a gain on the transactions of $223.4 million.

Also, during the three months ended March 31, 2020, we sold one MOB and one senior housing community for aggregate consideration of $9.2 million and we recognized a gain on the sale of these assets of $2.8 million.

Real Estate Impairment

We recognized impairments of $12.2 million and $10.2 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, which are recorded in depreciation and amortization in our Consolidated Statements of Income. Our recorded impairments were primarily the result of a change in our intent to hold the impaired assets. In most cases, we recognize an impairment in the periods in which our change in intent is made.
