2016 Operating Property Acquisitions
 
On January 14, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of an 11 asset retail portfolio totaling 1.1 million square feet for $170.5 million.

On April 29, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of Southgate Square, a 220,000 square foot retail center located in Colonial Heights, Virginia, for aggregate consideration of $39.5 million, comprised of the assumption of $21.1 million in debt (which approximated fair value as of the closing date) and 1,575,185 Class A Units.

As part of the Southgate Square purchase agreement, the Company acquired an option to purchase an adjacent undeveloped land parcel from the seller. The option for the land parcel is valid for an initial period of two years, and its value would be determined by applying a mutually agreed upon capitalization rate to the base rent of tenants provided by the seller and approved by the Company. If, at the end of the two-year period, no suitable tenants have been found, the Company has the option of either paying $3.0 million to the seller for the land parcel or extending the period for an additional year. If, at the end of the additional year, no suitable tenants have been found, the Company can either pay $1.25 million to the seller for the land parcel or let the option expire. Management has evaluated the option and determined that its value is immaterial to the consolidated financial statements.

On August 4, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of Southshore Shops, a 40,000 square foot retail center located in Midlothian, Virginia, for aggregate consideration of $9.3 million, comprised of $6.7 million in cash and 189,160 Class A Units.

On November 17, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of Renaissance Square, a 80,000 square foot retail center located in Davidson, North Carolina, for $17.1 million, excluding capitalized acquisition costs.

Equity Method Investments

City Center

On February 25, 2016, the Company acquired a 37% interest in Durham City Center II, LLC (“City Center”) for purposes of developing a 22-story mixed use tower in Durham, North Carolina.  As of December 31, 2016, the Company has invested $10.3 million in City Center. The Company has agreed to guarantee 37% of the construction loan for City Center; however, the loan is collateralized by 100% of the assets of City Center.  As of December 31, 2016, the construction loan has not been drawn against.
 
As of December 31, 2016, the difference between the carrying value of the Company’s initial investment in City Center and the amount of underlying equity was immaterial. For the year ended December 31, 2016, City Center did not have any operating activity, and therefore the Company did not receive any dividends or allocated income. 
 
Based on the terms of City Center’s operating agreement, the Company has concluded that City Center is a variable interest entity, and that the Company holds a variable interest. The Company does not have the power to direct the activities of the project that most significantly impact its performance.   Accordingly, the Company is not the project’s primary beneficiary and, therefore, does not consolidate City Center in its consolidated financial statements.
