The Company accounts for its interests in the unconsolidated real estate ventures, which range from 15% to 78%, using the equity method. Certain of the unconsolidated real estate ventures are subject to specified priority allocations of distributable cash.
The Company earned management fees from the unconsolidated real estate ventures of $1.9 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The Company earned leasing commissions from the unconsolidated real estate ventures of $0.6 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The Company had outstanding accounts receivable balances from the unconsolidated real estate ventures of $2.7 million and $3.5 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

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.
(b)Excludes amounts related to the Mid-Atlantic Office JV and Herndon Innovation Center Metro Portfolio Venture, LLC, as the Company discontinued applying the equity method of accounting after December 31, 2023.
