Estimated initial capitalization rate based upon expected maximum commitment/contribution amounts.

The Company has variable interests in certain developer entities constructing the facilities but is not the primary beneficiary of the entities as the Company does not have a controlling financial interest. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company's aggregate investment in development arrangements was $57,561 and $65,122, respectively, and are presented as investments in real estate under construction in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company capitalized interest of $1,597 and $1,693 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, relating to build-to-suit activities.
In addition, the Company has committed to acquire, upon its completion, an office property in Omaha, Nebraska for $39,125, which is subject to a net lease that will have a 20-year term upon completion. Construction is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2013. The Company can give no assurances that any of these acquisitions under contract or build-to-suit transactions will be consummated.

On September 1, 2012, the Company, together with an operating partnership subsidiary, acquired the remaining common equity interest in Net Lease Strategic Assets Fund L.P. ("NLS") from Inland American (Net Lease) Sub, LLC that the Company did not already own for a net cash payment of $1,331 and the assumption of all outstanding liabilities. Immediately prior to the acquisition, the Company owned 15% of NLS's common equity and 100% of NLS's preferred equity. At the date of acquisition, NLS owned 41 properties totaling 5.8 million square feet in 23 states, plus a 40% tenant-in-common interest in an office property.  The Company's investment in NLS had previously been accounted for under the equity method and was consolidated following the acquisition. The Company recognized a $167,864 gain on acquisition in 2012 relating to the acquisition of the remaining common equity interest in NLS.

The Company recognized gross revenues in continuing operations of $31,755 and a net loss of $(3,339) from NLS properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The Company recognized $12,902 of equity in earnings relating to NLS during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

The following unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma information is presented as if the Company acquired the remaining equity in NLS on January 1, 2012. The information presented below is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations would have been had the transaction been completed on January 1, 2012, nor does it purport to represent the Company's future operations:
