4. Real Estate Fund Investments

 

We are the general partner and investment manager of Vornado Capital Partners Real Estate Fund (the Fund”), which has an eight-year term and a three-year investment period that ended in July 2013. During the investment period, the Fund was our exclusive investment vehicle for all investments that fit within its investment parameters, as defined. The Fund is accounted for under ASC 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (“ASC 946”) and its investments are reported on its balance sheet at fair value, with changes in value each period recognized in earnings. We consolidate the accounts of the Fund into our consolidated financial statements, retaining the fair value basis of accounting.

 

We are also the general partner and investment manager of Crowne Plaza Times Square Hotel Co-Investment (the “Co-Investment”), which owns a 24.7% interest in the Crowne Plaza Times Square Hotel. The Fund owns the remaining 75.3% interest. The Co-Investment is also accounted for under ASC 946. We consolidate the accounts of the Co-Investment into our consolidated financial statements, retaining the fair value basis of accounting.
