        During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company placed two medical office buildings into assets held for sale. As a result, the Company recognized impairment charges of $1 million, which reduced the carrying value of the Company's aggregate investments from $7 million to the $6 million sales price. The fair value of the Company's medical office buildings were based on the projected sales prices from the pending dispositions. The sales prices of the MOBs were considered to be a Level 2 measurement within the fair value hierarchy.

        During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company executed an agreement for the disposition of a land parcel in its life science segment. As a result of the planned disposition of the land parcel, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $7.9 million, which reduced the carrying value of the Company's investment from $26 million to the $18 million sales price. The fair value of the Company's land parcel was based on the projected sales prices from the pending disposition. The sales price of the land parcel was considered to be a Level 2 measurement within the fair value hierarchy.

        During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company concluded that its senior secured term loan to Delphis was impaired and established a provision for losses (impairment) of $15 million. The impairment resulted from the Company's conclusion that the carrying value of its loan was in excess of the fair value of the loan's underlying collateral assets. This provision for losses reduced the carrying value of its investment from $91 million to its fair value of $76 million. The fair value of the Company's loan investment was based on a discounted cash flow valuation model and inputs considered to be a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. Inputs to this valuation model include real estate capitalization rates, discount rates, earnings multiples, industry growth rates and operating margins, some of which influence the Company's expectation of future cash flows from the loan and, accordingly, the fair value of its investment.
