(1) During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we derecognized all assets, liabilities and 50% noncontrolling interests related to a joint venture that was previously consolidated and recognized an equity method investment of approximately $61.9 million based on the value of our 50% noncontrolling interest in the joint venture. We had concluded that we would consolidate the joint venture during the development phase of the buildings because we had the power to direct activities that most significantly impacted the joint venture’s economic performance, however, upon the building’s completion and commencing the operational phase, we no longer have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the joint venture’s economic performance and deconsolidated the joint venture and recognized the investment under the equity method as we still retained significant influence.
