Property Dispositions

Property Dispositions

We have an active capital recycling program, with a goal of extending the average lease term through reinvestment, improving portfolio credit quality through dispositions and acquisitions of assets, increasing the asset criticality factor in our portfolio, and/or executing strategic dispositions of assets. We may decide to dispose of a property when it is vacant as a result of tenants vacating space, tenants electing not to renew their leases, tenant insolvency, or lease rejection in the bankruptcy process. In such cases, we assess whether we can obtain the highest value from the property by selling it, as opposed to re-leasing it. We may also sell a property when we receive an unsolicited offer or negotiate a price for an investment that is consistent with our strategy for that investment. When it is appropriate to do so, we classify the property as an asset held for sale on our consolidated balance sheet. All property dispositions are recorded within our Real Estate segment and are also discussed in Note 5.

2023 — During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we sold six and 14 properties, respectively, for total proceeds, net of selling costs, of $143.6 million and $187.7 million, respectively, and recognized a net gain on these sales totaling $14.1 million and $17.5 million, respectively (inclusive of income taxes totaling $0.7 million for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, recognized upon sale). Three of the properties sold during the third quarter of 2023 were hotel operating properties.

2022 — During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we sold three and 17 properties, respectively, for total proceeds, net of selling costs, of $55.2 million and $170.3 million, respectively, and recognized a net (loss) gain on these sales totaling $(4.7) million and $37.6 million, respectively (inclusive of income taxes totaling less than $2.8 million and $2.9 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, recognized upon sale). This disposition activity included one property acquired in the CPA:18 Merger classified as assets held for sale (Note 3), which was sold in August 2022.
