Preferred Equity Investment
As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company owned a preferred equity investment in an institutional quality office building located at 123 William Street in the Financial District of Downtown Manhattan. As of June 30, 2014, the preferred equity investment had a carrying amount of $33.6 million, a five-year term maturing in October 2018, a 0.75% origination fee, a 6.0% current pay rate, and a 2.0% accrual rate (the accrual rate will increase to 2.25% after year two, 2.75% after year three, and 3.25% after year four). The Company's preferred equity investment includes potential additional capital contributions not to exceed a total preferred equity investment of $40.0 million.
The preferred equity investment has a fixed return based on contributed capital, no participation in profits or losses of the real estate activities, and property foreclosure rights in the event of default. As such, the Company records returns earned in income from preferred equity investment and investment securities on the consolidated statements of operations. The Company assesses the investment for impairment on a periodic basis.
