Assets classified as held for sale

ASSETS CLASSIFIED AS HELD FOR SALE

As of September 30, 2021, two properties aggregating 413,151 RSF and an option to purchase a land parcel in our SoMa submarket for the development of an office property were classified as held for sale in our unaudited consolidated financial statements, none of which met the criteria for classification as discontinued operations. Accordingly, we ceased depreciation of the two properties upon their classification as held for sale.

Upon classification of an asset as held for sale, we recognize an impairment charge if the carrying amount of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair value less cost to sell. Subsequently, as a result of our quarterly assessment, we recognize an incremental impairment charge for any decrease in the asset’s fair value less cost to sell. Conversely, a gain is recognized for a subsequent increase in fair value less cost to sell, limited to the cumulative net loss previously recognized. Refer to the “Impairment of long-lived assets” section within Note 2 – “Summary of significant accounting policies” and “Real estate impairment charges” section within Note 3 – “Investments in real estate” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for information about impairment charges related to our assets held for sale recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
