Investments In Joint Ventures | 8. Investments in Joint Ventures Our equity investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, which we account for utilizing the equity method of accounting, consisted of two, four, and 17 joint ventures for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The two joint ventures in which we held an equity investment at December 31, 2013 are two discretionary investment funds (the "funds"), in which we have a 20% ownership. We provide property management services to joint ventures which own operating properties and we may provide construction and development services to the joint ventures which own properties under development. The following table summarizes the combined basis balance sheet and statement of income data for the unconsolidated joint ventures as of and for the periods presented:
The funds in which we have a partial interest have been funded in part with secured third-party debt. As of December 31, 2013, we had no outstanding guarantees related to loans of our unconsolidated joint ventures. We may earn fees for property and asset management, construction, development, and other services related to joint ventures in which we own an equity interest and also may earn a promoted equity interest if certain thresholds are met. Fees earned for these services were approximately $10.0 million, $11.4 million, and $9.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. We eliminate fee income for services provided to these joint ventures to the extent of our ownership. In May 2013, one of our unconsolidated joint ventures sold its 14 operating properties, comprised of 3,098 apartment homes in Las Vegas, Nevada, for approximately $200.2 million. Our proportionate share of the gain was approximately $13.1 million. Additionally, as a result of achieving certain performance measures as set forth in the joint venture agreement, we recognized a promoted equity interest of approximately $5.1 million in 2013. Our proportionate share of the gain and the promoted equity interest were reported as components of equity in income of joint ventures in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. In December 2013, one of our funds sold two operating properties comprised of a total of 600 apartment homes for approximately $68.7 million. Our proportionate share of the gains on these transactions was approximately $3.2 million. At December 31, 2013, one of our funds had an operating property held for sale comprised of 240 apartment homes located in San Antonio, Texas. This property sold in February 2014. |
