Dispositions

On February 2, 2021, the Company contributed its investment in a 99-year prepaid leasehold interest in a one-acre land parcel held for development at 3025 JFK Boulevard in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to a newly formed joint venture with an unaffiliated third party. The project is part of the Schuylkill Yards master development. The transaction valued the Company's investment in the project at $34.8 million and resulted in deconsolidation of the property and conversion of Brandywine Opportunity Fund, L.P. to a real estate venture ("3025 JFK Venture"). The Company recorded its investment at fair value and recognized a gain of $2.0 million in "Net gain on sale of undepreciated real estate" on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 4, "Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures," for further information.

As such, $7.3 million was classified as “Assets held for sale, net” on the consolidated balance sheets.
