Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]  
Investment in Unconsolidated and Consolidated Joint Ventures
INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED AND CONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES
The Company maintains investments in joint ventures. The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures using the equity method of accounting unless the venture is a variable interest entity, or VIE, and meets the requirements for consolidation. The Company’s investment in its unconsolidated joint ventures at September 30, 2014 was $30,580,000. The equity in the income of the unconsolidated joint ventures was $3,293,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The unconsolidated joint ventures have not been consolidated as of September 30, 2014, because the Company does not control the investments. The Company’s current joint ventures are as follows:
Petro Travel Plaza Holdings LLC – TA/Petro is an unconsolidated joint venture with TravelCenters of America, LLC for the development and management of travel plazas and convenience stores. The Company has 50% voting rights and shares 60% of profit and losses in this joint venture. It houses multiple commercial eating establishments as well as diesel and gasoline operations in TRCC. The Company does not control the investment due to its having only 50% voting rights, and because our partner in the joint venture is the managing partner and performs all of the day-to-day operations and has significant decision making authority regarding key business components such as fuel inventory and pricing at the facility. At September 30, 2014, the Company had an equity investment balance of $14,565,000 in this joint venture.
Rockefeller Joint Ventures – The Company has multiple joint ventures with Rockefeller Group Development Corporation or Rockefeller. Two joint ventures are for the development of buildings on approximately 91 acres and are part of an agreement for the potential development of up to 500 acres of land in TRCC including pursuing Foreign Trade Zone, or FTZ, designation and development of the property within the FTZ for warehouse distribution and light manufacturing. The Company owns a 50% interest in each of the joint ventures. Currently the Five West Parcel LLC joint venture owns and leases a 606,000 square foot building. The Five-West Parcel joint venture currently has an outstanding loan with a balance of $11,000,000. The note is due in 2015 and is fully secured by the building as well as guarantees from each partner. We do not believe the bank will call on the guarantees provided. The second of these joint ventures, 18-19 West LLC, was formed in August 2009 through the contribution of 61.5 acres of land by the Company, which is being held for future development.
During the second quarter of 2013, we entered into a new joint venture with Rockefeller, the TRCC/Rock Outlet Center LLC joint venture, to develop, own, and manage an approximately 326,000 leasable square foot outlet center on land at TRCC-East. This outlet center's final estimated cost is approximately $87 million to construct and will be funded through a construction loan for up to 60% of the costs and equity from the members. This joint venture is separate from the above agreement to develop up to 500 acres of land in TRCC. During the second quarter of 2013, we contributed land and other assets at an agreed value of $10,558,000 for our capital contribution ($2,159,000 at cost) and Rockefeller matched our capital contribution with cash. Rockefeller also reimbursed the Company for $335,000 in outlet center marketing costs, which were offset against the Company's equity in losses for the TRCC/Rock Outlet Center LLC joint venture. During the fourth quarter of 2013, the TRCC/Rock Outlet Center LLC joint venture entered into a construction line of credit agreement with a financial institution for $52,000,000 that, as of September 30, 2014, had an outstanding balance of $39,492,000. The Company and Rockefeller both guarantee the payment and performance of this construction line of credit, which is secured by the constructed real property of the outlet center. Construction for the outlet center was completed during the third quarter of 2014 and opened for business on schedule on August 7, 2014.
At September 30, 2014, the Company’s combined equity investment balance in the three Rockefeller joint ventures was $16,015,000, which includes $8,500,000 of Company contributions during 2014, which helped to fund development of the outlet center.
Centennial Founders, LLC – Centennial Founders, LLC is a joint venture with Pardee Homes (TRI Pointe Homes), Lewis Investment Company, and Standard Pacific Corp. that was organized to pursue the entitlement and development of land that the Company owns in Los Angeles County. Based on the Second Amended and Restated Limited Company Agreement of Centennial Founders, LLC and the change in control and funding that resulted from the amended agreement, Centennial Founders, LLC was assessed as a VIE, beginning in the third quarter of 2009 and the Company was determined to be the primary beneficiary. As a result, Centennial Founders, LLC has been consolidated into our financial statements beginning in that quarter. Our partners retained a noncontrolling interest in the joint venture. At September 30, 2014 the Company had a 73.87% ownership position in Centennial Founders, LLC.
The Company’s investment balance in its unconsolidated joint ventures differs from its respective capital accounts in the respective joint ventures. The differential represents the difference between the cost basis of assets contributed by the Company and the agreed upon contribution value of the assets contributed.
Tejon Mountain Village LLC - On July 16, 2014, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Current
Report on Form 8-K, or the Initial 8-K, disclosing that on July 15, 2014, TRC, entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, or the Agreement, with DMB TMV LLC, pursuant to which DMB TMV LLC agreed to sell its membership interest in TMV LLC to TRC for $70,000,000, Purchase Price. The transaction contemplated by the Agreement closed simultaneously with the signing of the Agreement on July 15, 2014. Pursuant to the Agreement, TRC paid DMB TMV LLC an initial payment of $10,000,000 in cash on July 15, 2014 and both parties executed an Assignment and Assumption of Membership Interest pursuant to which DMB TMV transferred 100% of its membership interest in TMV LLC to TRC. TRC was required to pay DMB TMV LLC the remaining $60,000,000 of the Purchase Price on or before October 13, 2014. On October 7, 2014, TRC exercised a one-time right to extend the final payment due date by thirty days with a payment of $1,000,000 that is applied toward the balance due. On October 20, 2014, TRC paid the remaining $59,000,000 to DMB TMV LLC. The acquisition of DMB's interest in TMV LLC was treated as an asset purchase.
