The Company accounts for its interests in the Real Estate Ventures, which range from 15% to 70%, using the equity method. Certain of the Real Estate Ventures are subject to specified priority allocations of distributable cash.
The Company earned management fees from the Real Estate Ventures of $2.0 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
The Company earned leasing commissions from the Real Estate Ventures of $1.3 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
The Company had outstanding accounts receivable balances from the Real Estate Ventures of $2.1 million and $1.2 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
The amounts reflected in the following tables (except for the Company’s share of equity in income) are based on the financial information of the individual Real Estate Ventures.
The following is a summary of the financial position of the Real Estate Ventures in which the Company held interests as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 (in thousands):

(a)This amount does not include the effect of the basis difference between the Company's historical cost basis and the basis recorded at the real estate venture level, which is typically amortized over the life of the related assets and liabilities. Basis differentials occur from the impairment of investments, purchases of third party interests in existing real estate ventures and upon the transfer of assets that were previously owned by the Company into a real estate venture. In addition, certain acquisition, transaction and other costs may not be reflected in the net assets at the real estate venture level.

3025 JFK Venture
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 the 3025 JFK Venture. The Company's initial investment in this real estate venture at February 2, 2021 was $34.8 million. The real estate venture was formed to develop a 570,000 square foot mixed-use building at property under the long-term ground lease. The estimated project cost is approximately $287 million, and the joint venture partner has agreed, subject to customary funding conditions, to fund up to approximately $45 million of the project costs in exchange for a 45% preferred equity interest in the venture and the Company will retain a 55% preferred equity interest. In addition to its $34.8 million credit for contribution of the leasehold interest at 3025 JFK Venture, the Company has agreed to fund an estimated $20.2 million of project costs. The foregoing capital
commitment targets are predicated upon receipt by the 3025 JFK Venture of a construction loan in the approximate amount of $187.0 million and actual amounts may vary.
Based on the facts and circumstances at the formation of the 3025 JFK Venture, the Company determined that the venture is not a variable interest entity. As a result, the Company used the voting interest model under the accounting standard for consolidation in order to determine whether to consolidate the 3025 JFK Venture. Based upon each member's substantive participating rights over the activities of the 3025 JFK Venture under the related agreements, the Company does not have a controlling interest in the project as the third party investor holds substantive participating rights in the property. Therefore, the Company deconsolidated the project and the venture is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. As a result, the Company measured its equity interest at fair value based on the fair value of the project. Since the Company retains a non-controlling interest in the 3025 JFK Venture and there are no other facts and circumstances that preclude sale recognition, the contribution qualifies as the sale of a nonfinancial asset under the relevant guidance.
