4. ACQUISITIONS

        The fair value of real estate acquired is recorded to (1) the acquired tangible assets, consisting of land; land improvements; building and improvements; furniture, fixtures, and equipment; tenant improvements; and (2) identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above- and below-market leases and the value of in-place leases and tenant relationships, if any, based in each case on their respective fair values. Loan premiums, in the case of above-market rate loans, or loan discounts, in the case of below-market rate loans, are recorded based on the fair value of any loans assumed in connection with acquiring the real estate. Above-market ground leases are recorded based on the respective fair value of the ground leases.

        We acquired an office property in 2005 for approximately $120,800,000, paying approximately $41,000,000 in cash and assuming two mortgage loans totaling $79,800,000. The $41,000,000 cash portion of the purchase price was paid by making (a) an approximately $1,000,000 equity investment in the existing property owner and (b) a loan to the existing property owner of approximately $40,000,000, which was converted to equity in 2012. We currently directly own 100% of the property. Prior to the conversion to equity in December 2012, the office property was included in our consolidated financial statements as a variable interest entity.

        In October 2013, we foreclosed on the LAX Holiday Inn, a select service hotel, and acquired a 100% fee-simple interest. A subsidiary of CIM Commercial was the first-mortgage lender of the note secured by the hotel. Built in 1973, this hotel has 405 rooms and is located in the LAX submarket of Los Angeles, California.

        Acquisitions, funded with proceeds from drawdowns on our unsecured credit facilities during 2014 consisted of the following:
