Acquisitions

During 2022, we acquired SIX50 at Legacy Union, a 367,000 square foot trophy office building in Charlotte’s Uptown CBD submarket, for a net purchase price of $198.0 million. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at relative fair value as determined by management, with the assistance of third party specialists, based on information available at the acquisition date and on current assumptions as to future operations.

During 2022, we also acquired land in Charlotte for an aggregate purchase price, including capitalized acquisition costs, of $27.0 million.

During 2021, we acquired a portfolio of real estate assets from PAC. The portfolio consists of the following assets:

Our total purchase price, net of closing credits and cash acquired, was $653.6 million, including $4.5 million of capitalized acquisition costs. The acquisition included the assumption of four secured loans (see Note 6). The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at relative fair value as determined by management, with the assistance of third party specialists, based on information available at the acquisition date and on current assumptions as to future operations.

The following table sets forth a summary of the relative fair value of the material assets acquired and liabilities assumed relating to this acquisition:

During 2021, we also acquired various development land parcels in Nashville for an aggregate purchase price, including capitalized acquisition costs, of $74.1 million. The $16.0 million purchase price for one of the acquired parcels is expected to be paid in or prior to second quarter 2023, and $15.5 million of this amount had been paid as of December 31, 2022.

During 2021, we also acquired our joint venture partner’s 75.0% interest in our Highwoods DLF Forum, LLC joint venture (the “Forum”), which owned five buildings in Raleigh encompassing 636,000 rentable square feet, for a purchase price of $131.3 million. We previously accounted for our 25.0% interest in this joint venture using the equity method of accounting. The assets and liabilities of the joint venture are now wholly owned and we have determined the acquisition constitutes an asset
purchase. As such, because the Forum is not a variable interest entity, we allocated our previously held equity interest at historical cost along with the consideration paid and acquisition costs to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at relative fair value as determined by management, with the assistance of third party specialists, based on information available at the acquisition date and on current assumptions as to future operations.

During 2020, we acquired two development land parcels totaling less than one acre in Raleigh and Nashville for an aggregate purchase price of $8.5 million, including the issuance of 118,592 Common Units and capitalized acquisition costs.

Dispositions

During 2022, we sold a total of five office buildings and various land parcels in Atlanta, Greensboro, Richmond and Tampa for an aggregate sales price of $133.5 million (before closing credits to buyers of $1.1 million) and recorded aggregate gains on disposition of property of $63.5 million.

During 2021, we sold a total of 13 office buildings and various land parcels in Atlanta, Memphis, Raleigh, Richmond and Tampa for an aggregate sales price of $384.6 million (before closing credits to buyers of $6.9 million) and recorded aggregate gains on disposition of property of $172.8 million.

During 2020, we sold a total of 52 buildings in Greensboro and Memphis and various land parcels for an aggregate sales price of $494.2 million (before closing credits to buyers of $5.7 million) and recorded aggregate gains on disposition of property of $215.5 million. During 2020, we also recognized $0.4 million of gain related to the satisfaction of a performance obligation as part of a 2016 land sale.

Impairments

We recorded the following impairment charges in 2022:

During the third quarter of 2022, we recorded an impairment charge of $1.5 million to lower the carrying amount of a land parcel to its estimated fair value less costs to sell; and

During the second quarter of 2022, we recorded an impairment charge of $35.0 million to lower the carrying amount of EQT Plaza (including accrued straight-line rents receivable and deferred leasing costs) to its estimated fair value less costs to sell. EQT Plaza is a 616,000 square foot office building located in the heart of Pittsburgh’s CBD. EQT Corporation’s lease of 317,000 square feet at EQT Plaza is scheduled to expire in September 2024.

During 2020, we recorded an impairment of real estate assets of $1.8 million, which resulted from a change in market-based inputs and our assumptions about the use of the assets.
