The Company has an investment in this unconsolidated property ($62.4 million as of the date of deconsolidation), included in Investments in and advances to real estate joint ventures on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s share of this investment is subject to change and is based upon a cash flow waterfall provision within the partnership agreement (54.8% as of the date of deconsolidation).

Land Sales

During 2018, the Company sold 10 land parcels, for an aggregate sales price of $9.7 million. These transactions resulted in an aggregate gain of $6.3 million, before income tax expense and noncontrolling interest for the year ended December 31, 2018. The gains from these transactions are recorded as other income, which is included in Other income, net on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.
