(b)

As of March 31, 2017, the Company evaluated the recoverability of the carrying value of its properties that triggered assessment under the undiscounted cash flow model. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it was determined that due to the reduction in the Company’s intended hold period of four properties located in the Other segment, the Company would not recover the carrying values of these properties. Accordingly, the Company recorded impairment charges on these properties of $1.0 million at March 31, 2017, which reduced the aggregate carrying values of the properties from $10.2 million to their estimated fair value of $9.2 million. The Company measured these impairments based on a discounted cash flow analysis, using a hold period of 10 years and residual capitalization rates and discount rates of 9.00% and 9.25%, respectively. The results were comparable to indicative pricing in the market. The assumptions used to determine fair value under the income approach are Level 3 inputs in accordance with the fair value hierarchy established by Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” The loss on sale in the table above represents additional closing costs.

(c)

As of December 31, 2016, the Company evaluated the recoverability of the carrying value of its properties that triggered assessment under the undiscounted cash flow model. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it was determined that due to the reduction in the Company’s intended hold period of three properties located in the Other segment, the Company would not recover the carrying values of these properties. Accordingly, the Company recorded impairment charges on these properties of $7.3 million at December 31, 2016, reducing the aggregate carrying values of the properties from $25.8 million to their estimated fair value of $18.5 million. The Company measured these impairments based on a discounted cash flow analysis, using a hold period of 10 years and residual capitalization rates and discount rates of 8.75% and 9.00%, respectively. The results were comparable to indicative pricing in the market. The assumptions used to determine fair value under the income approach are Level 3 inputs in accordance with the fair value hierarchy established by Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” The loss on sale in the table above represents additional closing costs.

(d)

On March 15, 2017, the Company sold its sublease interest in the Piers at Penn’s Landing (the “Marine Piers”), which includes leasehold improvements containing 181,900 net rentable square feet, and a marina, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for an aggregate sales price of $21.4 million. On the closing date, the buyer paid $12.0 million in cash. The $9.4 million balance of the purchase is due on (a) January 31, 2020, in the event that the tenant at the Marine Piers does not exercise an option it holds to extend the term of the sublease or (b) January 15, 2024, in the event that the tenant does exercise the option to extend the term of the sublease. In accordance with ASC 360-20, “Real Estate Sales,” the Company determined that it is appropriate to account for the sales transaction under the cost recovery method. The Company received cash proceeds of $11.2 million, after closing costs and prorations, and the net book value of the Marine Piers was $4.7 million, resulting in a gain on sale of $6.5 million. The remaining gain on sale of $9.4 million will be recognized on the second purchase price installment date. Prior to its sale, the Marine Piers had been classified as mixed-use within the Company’s property count.

(e)

During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company recognized a $3.0 million impairment related to these properties. During the first quarter of 2017, there was a price reduction of $1.7 million under the agreement of sale and an additional impairment of $1.7 million was recognized.

(f)

During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company recognized an $11.5 million impairment related to these properties. This sale was designated as a like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) and, as such, the proceeds, totaling $32.0 million after closing costs and prorations, were deposited with a Qualified Intermediary, as defined under the IRC. The proceeds received at closing were recorded as “Other assets” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. During the third quarter of 2017, the Company acquired 3000 Market Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania using the full balance of the Section 1031 proceeds. See “Acquisition” section above.

In addition to the amounts in the table above, the Company recorded a $0.5 million gain during the first quarter of 2017 from the receipt of additional proceeds from the disposition of Cira Square in 2016. For further information relating to this sale, see the dispositions table in the 2016 section below.

(a)

During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company recognized an impairment of $3.0 million. During the second quarter of 2017, the Company recorded a held for sale impairment charge of $0.3 million, reducing the aggregate carrying value of the land parcel from $5.9 million to its estimated fair value less costs to sell of $5.6 million. The fair value measurement is based on pricing in the purchase and sale agreement for the property. As the pricing in the purchase and sale agreement is unobservable, the Company determined that the input utilized to determine fair value for the property falls within Level 3 in accordance with the fair value hierarchy established by Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” The land parcel was sold on July 18, 2017.

(b)

The Company has a continuing involvement in this property through a completion guaranty, which requires the Company, as developer, to complete certain infrastructure improvements on behalf of the buyers of the land parcels. The Company recorded the cash received at settlement as “Deferred income, gains and rent” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and the Company will recognize the sale upon completion of infrastructure improvements. See Note 19, “Commitments and Contingencies” for further discussion of the infrastructure improvements.

(c)

During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company recognized a nominal impairment related to this land parcel.

The sales of properties, land and the land parcel held for sale do not represent a strategic shift that has a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results. Accordingly, the operating results of these properties remain classified within continuing operations for all periods presented.

 

 

Held for Use Impairment

As of December 31, 2017, the Company evaluated the recoverability of the carrying value of its properties that triggered assessment. Based on the analysis, no impairment charges were identified during the three-month period ended December 31, 2017.

As of March 31, 2017, the Company evaluated the recoverability of the carrying value of its properties that triggered an assessment under the undiscounted cash flow model. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it was determined that due to the reduction in the Company’s intended hold period of four properties located in the Other segment, the Company would not recover the carrying values of these properties. Accordingly, the Company recorded impairment charges on these properties of $1.0 million at March 31, 2017, reflected in the results for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2017, reducing the aggregate carrying values of the properties from $10.2 million to their estimated fair value of $9.2 million. The Company measured these impairments based on a discounted cash flow analysis, using a hold period of 10 years and residual capitalization rates and discount rates of 9.00% and 9.25%, respectively. The results were comparable to indicative pricing in the market. The assumptions used to determine fair value under the income approach are Level 3 inputs in accordance with the fair value hierarchy established by Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.”

Land Impairment

As of December 31, 2017, the Company evaluated the recoverability of the carrying value of its land parcels that triggered assessment. Based on the analysis, no impairment charges were identified during the three-month period ended December 31, 2017. See above land disposition table for detail of the Bishop’s Gate land parcel, on which a $0.3 million impairment charge was recorded as of June 30, 2017.

Held for Sale

As of December 31, 2017, the Company had land held for development, consisting of a 13.1-acre parcel of land located in the Company’s Other segment, classified as held for sale but which did not meet the criteria to be classified within discontinued operations. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2017, $0.4 million was reclassified from ‘Land held for development’ to ‘Assets held for sale, net’ on the consolidated balance sheets.  There were no other reclassifications related to this parcel of land. As of December 31, 2017, the carrying value of the land was less than the fair value less the anticipated costs of sale and, as such, the Company expects to record a nominal gain on sale. The fair value measurement is based on the pricing in the purchase and sale agreement.

The sale of the Company’s fee interest in the property referenced above does not represent a strategic shift that has a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results. As a result, the operating results of this property remains classified within continuing operations for all periods presented. See Note 20, "Subsequent Events," for further information regarding this disposition.

2016

Acquisition

On July 1, 2016, the Company closed on the acquisition of 34.6 acres of land located in Austin, Texas known as the Garza Ranch for a gross purchase price of $20.6 million.

The Company funded the acquisition with $20.4 million of available corporate funds, net of prorations and other adjustments. As of December 31, 2017, the Company sold 9.5 acres (of the 34.6 acres) to two unaffiliated third parties. As of December 31, 2016, the land under this agreement of sale did not meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale.

Held for Use Impairment

As of December 31, 2016, the Company evaluated the recoverability of the carrying value of its properties that triggered assessment under the undiscounted cash flow model. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it was determined that due to the reduction in the Company’s intended hold period of three properties located in the Other segment, the Company would not recover the carrying values of these properties. Accordingly, the Company recorded impairment charges on these properties of $7.3 million at December 31, 2016, reducing the aggregate carrying values of the properties from $25.8 million to their estimated fair value of $18.5 million. The Company measured these impairments based on a discounted cash flow analysis, using a hold period of 10 years and residual capitalization rates and discount rates of 8.75% and 9.00%, respectively. The results were comparable to indicative pricing in the market. The assumptions used to determine fair value under the income approach are Level 3 inputs in accordance with the fair value hierarchy established by Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.”

As of December 31, 2016, the Company assessed the fair value of the land parcels within its Other segment that it intends to sell in the short-term and, based on that assessment, the Company determined that it would not recover the carrying value of five land parcels, consisting of 108 acres. Accordingly, the Company recorded impairment charges of $5.6 million at December 31, 2016, reducing the aggregate carrying value of the land parcels from $18.2 million to their estimated fair values of $12.6 million. The Company measured these impairments using indicative pricing in the markets in which each land parcel is located. The assumptions used to determine fair value under the market approach are Level 3 inputs in accordance with the fair value hierarchy established by Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.”

(a)

As of December 31, 2016, the Company determined that the sale of three office properties in the Metropolitan D.C. segment was probable and classified these properties as held for sale in accordance with applicable accounting standards for long lived assets. At such date, the carrying value of the properties exceeded their fair value less the anticipated costs of sale. As a result, the Company recognized an impairment loss totaling approximately $3.0 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2016. The Company measured this impairment based on a discounted cash flow analysis, using a hold period of 10 years and residual capitalization rates and discount rates of 9.00% and 10.00%, respectively. The results were comparable to indicative pricing in the market. As significant inputs to the model are unobservable, the Company determined that the value determined for this property falls within Level 3 fair value reporting.

(b)

As of December 31, 2016, the Company determined that the sale of two office properties in the Other segment was probable and classified these properties as held for sale in accordance with applicable accounting standards for long lived assets. At such date, the carrying value of the properties exceeded the fair value less the anticipated costs of sale. As a result, the Company recognized an impairment loss totaling approximately $11.5 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2016. The Company measured this impairment based on a discounted cash flow analysis, using a hold period of 10 years and residual capitalization rates and discount rates of 9.75% and 9.75%, respectively. The results were comparable to indicative pricing in the market. As significant inputs to the model are unobservable, the Company determined that the value determined for this property falls within Level 3 fair value reporting.

(c)

As of December 31, 2016, the Company determined that the sale of a land parcel in the Other segment was probable and classified the land parcel as held for sale in accordance with applicable accounting standards for long lived assets. At such date, the carrying value of the land approximated the fair value less the anticipated costs of sale and the Company recorded a nominal impairment. The fair value measurement was based on the pricing in the purchase and sale.

The sales of the Company’s fee interests in the properties referenced above do not represent a strategic shift that has a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results. As a result, the operating results of these properties remain classified within continuing operations for all periods presented. See “2017” section above for further information regarding these dispositions.

2015

Acquisitions

On July 7, 2015, the Company acquired a 0.8 acre parcel of land located at 2100 Market Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for $18.8 million. The Company funded $16.8 million of the purchase price with available corporate funds and the remaining $2.0 million of the purchase price was funded in 2017. The Company accounted for this transaction as an asset acquisition and capitalized a nominal amount of acquisition related costs and other costs as part of land inventory on its consolidated balance sheet. In connection with the purchase agreement, if certain land parcels adjacent to 2100 Market Street are acquired from unaffiliated third parties, the Company may be required to pay additional consideration to the seller of 2100 Market Street. The unaffiliated third parties are not party to this transaction and any land parcels acquired will be acquired in arm’s length transactions. The amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the seller of 2100 Market Street cannot be determined at this time.

On June 22, 2015, through a series of transactions with International Business Machines ("IBM"), the Company acquired the remaining 50.0% interest in Broadmoor Austin Associates, consisting of seven office buildings and the 66.0 acre underlying land parcel located in Austin, Texas, for an aggregate purchase price of $211.4 million. The aggregate purchase price includes the carrying amount of the Company’s investment in Broadmoor Austin Associates of $66.3 million. The office buildings contain 1,112,236 net rentable square feet of office space and were 100.0% occupied as of June 22, 2015. The Company funded the cost of the acquisition with an aggregate cash payment of $143.8 million, consisting of $81.0 million from available corporate funds and $62.8 million previously held in escrow related to a Section 1031 like-kind exchange. Part of the cash payment was used at closing to repay, at no repayment penalty, the remaining $51.2 million of secured debt. The Company incurred $0.2 million of acquisition related costs that are classified within general and administrative expenses.

The Company previously accounted for its 50.0% noncontrolling interest in Broadmoor Austin Associates under the equity method of accounting. As a result of acquiring IBM's remaining 50.0% common interest in Broadmoor Austin Associates, the Company obtained control of Broadmoor Austin Associates and the Company's existing investment balance was remeasured based on the fair value of the underlying properties acquired and the existing distribution provisions under the relevant partnership agreement. As a result, the Company recorded a $0.8 million gain on remeasurement.

Broadmoor Austin Associates contributed revenue, included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations, of $25.4 million, $26.4 million and $13.2 million and net income of $6.9 million, net losses of $5.2 million and $7.2 million for the twelve-months ended December 31, 2017, December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

The Company has treated its acquisition of the 50.0% ownership interest in Broadmoor Austin Associates as a business combination and allocated the purchase price to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities. The Company utilized a number of sources in making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating the purchase price to tangible and intangibles assets acquired and intangible liabilities assumed. The purchase price has been allocated as follows (in thousands):

On April 6, 2015, the Company acquired a 0.8 acre parcel of land, located at 25 M Street Southeast, Washington, D.C. for $20.3 million. The Company funded the cost of this acquisition with available corporate funds. The Company capitalized $0.3 million of acquisition related costs and these costs are included as part of land inventory on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. On May 12, 2015, the Company subsequently contributed the land parcel into a newly formed real estate venture known as 25 M Street Holdings, LLC (“25 M Street”), a joint venture between the Company and Jaco 25 M Investors, LLC (“Akridge”), an unaffiliated third party, with the intent to construct a 271,000 square foot Class A office property. The Company holds a 95.0% ownership interest in 25 M Street and Akridge contributed $1.0 million in cash for its 5.0% ownership interest in 25 M Street. The $1.0 million contribution from Akridge was distributed to the Company during 2015. 25 M Street is consolidated within the Company's financial statements. See Note 4, "Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures," for further information. As of December 31, 2017, 25 M Street had not finalized development plans and total development costs, or obtained debt financing.

Based on the facts and circumstances at the formation of 25 M Street, the Company determined that 25 M Street is a variable interest entity (VIE) in accordance with the accounting standard for consolidation of VIEs. Accordingly, the Company used the variable interest model under the accounting standard for consolidation in order to determine whether to consolidate 25 M Street. Under the operating and related agreements, the Company has the power to control substantially all of the activities which most significantly impact the economics of 25 M Street, and accordingly, 25 M Street is consolidated within the Company’s financial statements. As of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the carrying value of the project, which is included in the land held for development caption of the consolidated balance sheets, was $23.1 million and $22.4 million, respectively.

On April 2, 2015, the Company acquired, from an unaffiliated third party, a property located at 618 Market Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, comprised of a 330-space parking garage and 14,404 net rentable square feet for $19.4 million. Although the property is currently fully operational, the Company intends to either redevelop the existing property or demolish and fully develop the property. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had not yet begun any such development or redevelopment plans. The purchase price includes contingent consideration, recorded at fair value and payable to the seller upon commencement of development, totaling $1.6 million, and cash of $17.8 million.

The Company has treated the acquisition of 618 Market Street as a business combination and allocated the purchase price to the tangible and intangible assets. The Company utilized a number of sources in making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating the purchase price to tangible and intangible assets acquired. The Company allocated $19.2 million to building, land and improvements and $0.2 million to intangible assets.

The fair value of contingent consideration was determined using a probability weighted discounted cash flow model. The significant inputs to the discounted cash flow model were the discount rate and weighted probability scenarios. As the inputs are unobservable, the Company determined the inputs used to value this liability falls within Level 3 for fair value reporting. As of December 31, 2017, there were no significant changes to the inputs and the liability remains within Level 3 for fair value reporting.

In addition to the contribution of the properties, the Company also made a $1.8 million cash contribution to the Austin Venture for working capital. The Company recognized a $2.0 million gain on the contribution. Under the Encino Trace loan agreement, the Austin Venture has the option, subject to certain leasing and loan-to-value requirements, to borrow an additional $29.7 million to fund tenant improvements and leasing commissions.

(a)

On February 4, 2016, the Company disposed of its interests in 58 properties located in the Pennsylvania Suburbs, New Jersey/Delaware, Metropolitan Washington, D.C. and Richmond, Virginia segments in a series of related transactions with Och Ziff Real Estate. During the fourth quarter of 2015, significant provisions were agreed upon by both the Company and Och Ziff Real Estate and, as a result, the Company determined that the sale of the portfolio was probable and classified these properties as held for sale in accordance with applicable accounting standards for long lived assets. At such date, the carrying value of the properties exceeded the fair value less the anticipated costs of sale. As a result, the Company recognized an impairment loss totaling approximately $45.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2015. The fair value measurement was based on the pricing in the purchase and sale agreement.  As the significant inputs to the model are unobservable, the Company determined that the value determined for these real estate investments fall within Level 3 for fair value reporting.

(b)

On December 23, 2015 the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement to dispose of its equity interests in the office property located at 2970 Market Street in Philadelphia commonly known as 30th Street Main Post Office (“Cira Square”), which includes 862,692 square feet of rentable space and is fully leased to a single tenant.  As of December 31, 2015, the Company determined the sale was probable and classified the property as held for sale in accordance with applicable accounting standards for long lived assets. As the fair value less anticipated costs to sell exceeded the carrying value of the property no impairment loss was recorded.  The fair value measurement was based on the pricing in the purchase and sale agreement.  As the sales price is unobservable, the Company determined that the significant inputs used to value this real estate investment are Level 3 in accordance with the fair value hierarchy established by Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” On February 5, 2016 the Company completed the disposition of its equity interests in Cira Square.

(c)

On January 15, 2016, the Company sold the fee interest in a 120 acre land parcel located in Berks County, Pennsylvania for $0.9 million. As of December 31, 2015, the Company classified this land parcel as held for sale in accordance with the applicable accounting standards for long lived assets. At such date, the carrying value of the properties exceeded the fair value less the anticipated costs of sale.  As a result, the Company recognized an impairment loss totaling approximately $0.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2015.

The sales of the Company’s equity interests and the fee interests in the properties referenced above do not represent a strategic shift that has a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results. As a result, the operating results of these properties remain classified within continuing operations for all periods presented.

Held for Use Impairment

As of December 31, 2015, the Company evaluated the recoverability of the carrying value of its properties under the undiscounted cash flow model. Based on the analysis, it was determined that due to deteriorating operating results, increased market vacancy and a reduction in management’s intended hold period, the Company would not recover the carrying value of three properties located in the Company’s Metropolitan D.C. segment. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $27.5 million on December 31, 2015 reducing the aggregate carrying values of these properties from $40.4 million to their estimated fair values of $12.9 million. The Company determined these impairments based on a discounted cash flow analysis, using a hold period of 10 years and residual capitalization rates and discount rates of 8.0%. The results were compared to indicative pricing in the market. The assumptions used to determine fair value are Level 3 inputs, respectively, in accordance with the fair value hierarchy established by Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.”
