Real Estate Properties

During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we made improvements to our properties totaling $10.9 million and $27.8 million, respectively.

Property Sales:

We classify all properties that meet the criteria outlined in the Property, Plant and Equipment Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) as held for sale on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.  As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had no properties classified as held for sale. 

During March 2014, the former management team ceased to actively market two CBD properties (two buildings) and 29 suburban properties (65 buildings) with a combined 5,641,450 square feet that we had previously classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2013.  These properties were not under agreement for sale when our former Trustees were removed in March 2014.  These properties were reclassified to properties held and used in operations because they no longer met the requirements under GAAP for classification as held for sale.  Operating results for these properties were reclassified from discontinued operations to continuing operations for all periods presented herein.  In connection with this reclassification, we reversed previously recorded impairment losses totaling $4.8 million, which includes the elimination of estimated costs to sell.
