3.	Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

Prior to March 14, 2018, RDF, in which we have a 7.4% interest, owned 20.0% of 75 Howard (the “Property”). On March 14, 2018, RDF transferred its 20.0% interest to a new joint venture in which it owns a 75.0% interest. Separately on March 14, 2018, RDF acquired an additional 10.0% interest in the Property from its existing partner. Subsequent to these transactions RDF owns a 25.0% economic interest in the Property, comprised of the newly acquired 10.0% interest and an indirect 15.0% interest through the joint venture. As a result of these transactions, RDF was required to consolidate its 75.0% interest in the joint venture that owns 20.0% of the Property, and reflect the 25.0% interest in this venture (5.0% economic interest in the Property) it does not own as noncontrolling interests. We continue to consolidate our 7.4% interest in RDF and reflect the 92.6% interest we do not own as noncontrolling interests. As of March 31, 2018, our economic interest in 75 Howard was 1.85%.

The following tables summarize our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures as of the dates thereof and the income or loss from these investments for the periods set forth below.

⁽¹⁾

As of March 31, 2018, the joint venture had made distributions to us in excess of our share of earnings recognized, which resulted in our basis becoming negative $19,142. As a result, we no longer recognize our proportionate share of earnings from the venture because we have no further obligation to fund additional capital to the venture. Instead, we only recognize income to the extent we receive cash distributions from the venture. Accordingly, we did not recognize any income in the three months ended March 31, 2018 as there were no distributions made by the venture during such period.

⁽²⁾

As of March 31, 2018, the carrying amount of our investments in 60 Wall Street, 75 Howard and Oder-Center is greater than our share of equity in these investments by $2,871, $528 and $5,219, respectively.
