On June 3, 2013, the Company purchased an approximate 75% interest in the US Airways Building, an office property located in the Tempe submarket of Phoenix, Arizona, for a purchase price of $41.8 million. At closing, a subsidiary of the Company issued a $3.5 million mortgage loan to an affiliate of US Airways, which is secured by the building. The mortgage loan carries a fixed interest rate of 3.0% and matures in December 2016. This office building is adjacent to the Company's Hayden Ferry Lakeside and Tempe Gateway assets and shares a parking garage with Tempe Gateway. The property is the headquarters for US Airways, which has leased 100% of the building through April 2024. US Airways has a termination option on December 31, 2016 or December 31, 2021 with 12 months prior notice. US Airways is also the owner of the remaining approximate 25% in the building.

On November 5, 2013, the Company and its joint venture partner foreclosed and took ownership of 7000 Central Park, an office building located in the Central Perimeter of Atlanta, Georgia. The Company previously acquired a 40% common equity interest in a mortgage note secured by the asset for approximately $45.0 million, comprised of an investment of approximately $37.0 million for a preferred equity interest in the joint venture that acquired the note and an investment of approximately $8.0 million for a 40% common equity interest. On December 13, 2013, the Company and its joint venture partner placed secured financing on the asset in the amount of $30.0 million, the net proceeds of which were used to repay a portion of the Company’s initial preferred equity investment, reducing the preferred equity interest to approximately $7.6 million. The loan has a floating interest rate based on the one-month LIBOR rate plus a spread of 180 basis points, which represents an initial aggregate interest rate of 1.97%. The joint venture also purchased an interest rate hedge that caps LIBOR at 1.75% through December 2016 for the full amount of the loan. The loan has a maturity date of December 2016.

On December 19, 2013, the Company acquired TPGI's interest in the Austin Joint Venture in connection with the Mergers. The Company and Madison International Realty ("Madison") owned a 50% interest in the joint venture with CalSTRS, of which the Company's ownership interest is 33%. The Austin Joint Venture owned the following properties: San Jacinto Center; Frost Bank Tower; One Congress Plaza; One American Center; and 300 West 6th Street. The cost of the Austin Joint Venture is adjusted to recognize the Company’s interest in the Austin Joint Venture’s earnings or losses. The difference between (a) The Company’s ownership percentage in the Austin Joint Venture multiplied by its earnings and (b) the amount of the Company’s equity in earnings of the Austin Joint Venture as reflected in the financial statements relates to the amortization or accretion of purchase accounting adjustments made at the time of the Mergers.

On January 24, 2014, pursuant to a put right held by Madison, the Company purchased Madison’s approximately 17% interest in the CalSTRS joint venture for a purchase price of approximately $41.5 million. On February 10, 2014, pursuant to an agreement entered into between CalSTRS and the Company, CalSTRS exercised an option to purchase 60% of Madison's former interest on the same terms as the Company for approximately $24.9 million. After giving effect to these transactions, the Company has a 40% interest in the CalSTRS joint venture and the Austin properties, with CalSTRS owning the remaining 60%.

On November 17, 2014, the Company terminated the Austin Joint Venture. As part of the agreement, the Company acquired CalSTRS' 60% interest in San Jacinto Center and One Congress Plaza, resulting in 100% ownership of two assets, and transferred the Company's 40% interest in Frost Bank Tower, 300 West 6th Street and One American Center to CalSTRS. In connection with this transaction, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $43.6 million from CalSTRS and recognized a $52.8 million gain in 2014.

With respect to the Austin Joint Venture, the Company's share of the Partner's equity was $62.7 million and the excess investment was $30.5 million at December 31, 2013. "Excess Investment" represents the unamortized difference of the Company's investment over its share of the equity in the underlying net assets of the joint venture acquired and is allocated on a fair value basis primarily to investment property, lease related intangibles, and debt premiums. The Company amortizes excess investment over the life of the related depreciable components of investment property, typically no greater than 40 years, the terms of the applicable leases and the applicable debt maturity, respectively. The amortization is included in the reported amount of income from unconsolidated entities.
