The following table summarizes the Company’s investment in and advances to unconsolidated joint ventures and partnerships, net, which are accounted for under the equity method of accounting as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (dollars in thousands):

(a)

The Developer Capital Program is the program through which the Company makes investments, including preferred equity investments, mezzanine loans or other structured investments that may receive a fixed yield on the investment and may include provisions pursuant to which the Company participates in the increase in value of the property upon monetization of the applicable property and/or holds fixed price purchase options.

(b)	Represents UDR’s maximum funding commitment only and therefore excludes other activity such as income from investments.

(c)

In January 2020, the Company increased its ownership interest from 49% to 100% in the 276 apartment home operating community located in Hillsboro, Oregon, for a cash purchase price of approximately $21.6 million. As a result, the Company consolidated the operating community and it is no longer accounted for as a preferred equity investment in an unconsolidated joint venture (see Note 3, Real Estate Owned). In connection with the purchase, the Company repaid the joint venture’s construction loan of approximately $35.6 million.

(d)	The Company’s preferred equity investment receives a variable percentage of the value created from the project upon a capital or liquidating event.

(e)

In February 2020, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with an unaffiliated joint venture partner to develop and operate a 142 apartment home community in Thousand Oaks, CA. The Company’s preferred equity investment of up to $20.1 million earns a preferred return of 9.0% per annum and receives a variable percentage of the value created from the project upon a capital or liquidating event. The unaffiliated joint venture partner is the managing member of the joint venture and the developer of the community. The Company has concluded that it does not control the joint venture and, therefore, accounts for it under the equity method of accounting.

(f)	As of March 31, 2020, the Company’s negative investment in 13^th and Market Properties LLC of $3.3 million is included in Other UDR/MetLife Joint Ventures in the table above and recorded in Accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
