In December 2014, the Company completed a $7.5 million preferred equity investment with Signature Senior Living, LLC and Milestone Retirement Communities. The preferred equity investment yields 12.0% calculated on a quarterly basis on the outstanding carrying value of the investment. The investment will be used to develop Signature Senior Living at Arvada, a planned 134-unit upscale assisted living and memory care community in Arvada, Colorado that will be constructed on a five-acre site. In connection with its investment, CareTrust obtained an option to purchase the Arvada development at a fixed-formula price upon stabilization, with an initial lease yield of at least 8.0%. The project was completed at the end of the second quarter of 2016 and has begun lease-up in the third quarter of 2016.

During the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, the Company recognized $0.3 million and $0.2 million of interest income and these unpaid amounts were added to the outstanding carrying value of the investment. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, the Company recognized $0.5 million and $0.5 million of interest income and these unpaid amounts were added to the outstanding carrying value of the investment.
