REAL ESTATE
On January 19, 2011, we acquired the fee interest in Tower Shops located in Davie, Florida for a net purchase price of $66.1 million which includes the assumption of a mortgage loan with a face amount of $41.0 million and a fair value of approximately $42.9 million. The property contains approximately 372,000 square feet of gross leasable area on 67 acres and is shadow-anchored by Home Depot and Costco. Approximately $1.2 million and $4.4 million of net assets acquired were allocated to other assets for “above market leases” and other liabilities for “below market leases”, respectively. We incurred a total of $0.4 million of acquisition costs of which $0.2 million were incurred in 2011 and are included in “general and administrative expenses” for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
In conjunction with the acquisition, we entered into a reverse Section 1031 like-kind exchange agreement with a third party intermediary which is for a maximum of 180 days and allows us, for tax purposes, to defer gains on sale of other properties identified and sold within this period. Until July 12, 2011, the third party intermediary was the legal owner of the property. However, we controlled the activities that most significantly impacted the property and retained all of the economic benefits and risks associated with the property. Therefore, we were the primary beneficiary of this VIE and consolidated the property and its operations as of January 19, 2011.
On July 12, 2011, we sold Feasterville Shopping Center located in Feasterville, Pennsylvania for a sales price of $20.0 million resulting in a gain of $14.8 million. The operations of this property are included in “discontinued operations” in the consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented and included in “assets held for sale/disposal” in our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010. The sale was completed as a Section 1031 tax deferred exchange transaction with the acquisition of Tower Shops.
