Property Dispositions Property Dispositions
We may decide to dispose of a property due to a variety of circumstances, including but not limited to, vacancy, tenants electing not to renew their leases, tenant insolvency, or lease rejection in the bankruptcy process. In such cases, we assess whether we can obtain the highest value from the property by selling it, as opposed to re-leasing it. We may also sell a property when we receive an unsolicited offer or negotiate a price for an investment that is consistent with our strategy for that investment. When it is appropriate to do so, we classify the property as an asset held for sale on our consolidated balance sheets. Our property dispositions are also discussed in Note 4 and Note 5.
