The impact to our consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2016 was an increase in rental revenue of $0.2 million for the amortization of aggregate below-market leases and an additional $2.1 million of depreciation expense.

Based on our preliminary analysis of the purchase price, we had allocated $97.0 million and $180.2 million to land and building, respectively, at 600 Lexington Avenue, $22.1 million and $41.0 million to land and building, respectively, at 187 Broadway and 5&7 Dey Street, $849.9 million and $1.6 billion to land and building, respectively, at 11 Madison Avenue, $89.3 million and $165.8 million to land and building, respectively, at 110 Greene Street, and $17.5 million and $32.5 million to land and building, respectively, at the Upper Eastside Residential Property and $6.1 million and $0.7 million to land and building, respectively, at 1640 Flatbush Avenue.

In December 2015, we acquired Canada Pension Plan Investment Board's 45% interest in this property, thereby consolidating full ownership of the property. The transaction valued the consolidated interests at $277.3 million. We recognized a purchase price fair value adjustment of $40.1 million upon closing of this transaction. This property, which we initially acquired in May 2010, was previously accounted for as an investment in unconsolidated joint ventures.
(3)
We acquired this property for consideration that included the issuance of $10.0 million and $26.9 million aggregate liquidation preferences of Series R and S Preferred Units, respectively, of limited partnership interest of the Operating Partnership and cash.
(4)
We acquired a 90.0% controlling interest in this property for consideration that included the issuance of $5.0 million and $6.7 million aggregate liquidation preferences of Series P and Q Preferred Units, respectively, of limited partnership interest of the Operating Partnership and cash.
(5)
We, along with our joint venture partner, acquired this property for consideration that included the issuance of $13.8 million aggregate liquidation preference of Series N Preferred Units of limited partnership interest of the Operating Partnership and cash. We hold a 95.1% controlling interest in this joint venture.

Based on our preliminary analysis of the purchase price, we had allocated $11.3 million and $21.0 million to land and building, respectively, at 102 Greene Street, $153.7 million to land at 635 Madison Avenue, $14.4 million and $26.7 million to land and building, respectively, at 719 Seventh Avenue, $15.9 million and $37.2 million to land and building, respectively, at 115 Spring Street and $558.7 million and $1.0 billion to land and building, respectively, at 388-390 Greenwich. The impact to our consolidated statements of operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 was $7.6 million in rental revenue for the amortization of aggregate below-market leases and $10.3 million of depreciation expense.
(2)
We, along with our joint venture partner, acquired this property for consideration that included the issuance of $14.1 million aggregate liquidation preference of Series L Preferred Units of limited partnership interest of the Operating Partnership and $9.5 million aggregate liquidation preference of Series K Preferred Units of limited partnership interest of the Operating Partnership. We hold a 75.0% controlling interest in this joint venture.

In May 2014, we acquired Ivanhoe Cambridge, Inc.'s 49.65% economic interest in this property, thereby consolidating full ownership of the property. The transaction valued the consolidated interests at $1.585 billion. Simultaneous with the closing, we refinanced the previous mortgage with a $1.45 billion mortgage. We also assumed the existing derivative instruments, which swapped $504.0 million of the mortgage to fixed rate (in October 2014, we entered into multiple swap agreements to hedge our interest rate exposure on an additional $500.0 million portion of this mortgage. See Note 8, "Mortgages and Other Loans Payable" for further details). We recognized a purchase price fair value adjustment of $71.4 million upon closing of this transaction. This property, which we initially acquired in December 2007, was previously accounted for as an investment in unconsolidated joint ventures.
For business combinations achieved in stages, the acquisition-date fair value of our equity interest in a property immediately before the acquisition date is determined based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize available market information and discount and capitalization rates that we deem appropriate. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and economic conditions. The acquisition-date fair value of the equity interest in 600 Lexington Avenue and 388-390 Greenwich Street, which were acquired in 2015 and 2014, respectively, immediately before the acquisition date as well as the purchase price fair value, as determined in accordance with the methodology set out in the prior sentence, are as follows (in thousands):

The pro forma income from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 includes the effect of the incremental borrowings, including a $1.4 billion, 10-year, interest only, fixed rate mortgage financing carrying a per annum stated interest rate of 3.838% to complete the acquisition and the preliminary allocation of purchase price. In addition, the pro forma income from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 was adjusted to include the sale of real estate assets for properties that have closed either subsequent to December 31, 2015 or we are currently under contract to sell in connection with 11 Madison Avenue, as if the sales were completed on January 1, 2014. The pro forma income from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2015 excludes these sales.
