(a)Gain/(Loss) on Sale is net of closing and other transaction related costs.
(b)The Company sold a 60% equity interest in a portfolio of twelve suburban office properties containing an aggregate of 1.1 million square feet ("Mid-Atlantic Office Portfolio"), nine of which are located in the Pennsylvania suburbs and three of which are located in Maryland, to an unrelated third party for a gross sales price of $192.9 million. The transaction resulted in deconsolidation of the properties and formation of PA/MD NNN Office JV, LLC ("Mid-Atlantic Office JV"). The Company recorded its investment at fair value and recognized a gain of $15.2 million in "Net gain on disposition of real estate" on the consolidated statements of operations. See Note 4, ''Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures," for further information.
(c)The Company sold a 30% preferred equity interest in two office buildings located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to an unrelated third party for $115.0 million (the "Commerce Square Venture Transaction"), which resulted in deconsolidation of the properties and formation of Brandywine Commerce I LP and Brandywine Commerce II LP (collectively, the "Commerce Square Venture"). The transaction valued the properties at $600.0 million. The Company recorded its investment at fair value and recognized a gain of $271.9 million in "Net gain on disposition of real estate" on the consolidated statements of operations. See Note 4, ''Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures," for further information.
(d)The sales price includes $4.1 million of variable consideration held in escrow that will be released to the Company over a six to nine month holdback period if certain tenants remain in compliance with certain payment terms of their lease agreements. The Company estimated the amount of the variable consideration that it deemed probable of collection and included such amount in the transaction price. The amount estimated as probable of collection was received during 2021. The Company will continue to evaluate the probability of collection on the remaining holdback and recognize any changes to the amount deemed probable as incremental gain on sale.
In addition, on February 2, 2021, the Company contributed its investment in a 99-year prepaid leasehold interest in a one-acre land parcel held for development at 3025 JFK Boulevard in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to a newly formed joint venture with an unaffiliated third party. The project is part of the Schuylkill Yards master development. The Company's investment in the project was valued at $34.8 million and the transaction resulted in deconsolidation of the property and conversion of Brandywine Opportunity Fund, L.P. (formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership) to a real estate venture ("3025 JFK Venture"). The Company recorded its investment at fair value and recognized a gain of $2.0 million in "Net gain on sale of undepreciated real estate" on the consolidated statements of operations. See Note 4, "Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures," for further information.
During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company also recorded a $1.0 million gain related to contingent consideration received related to a land sale that closed in a prior period in the Other segment. The Company also received additional proceeds from a sale that closed in a prior year related to a property in the Metropolitan Washington, D.C. segment resulting in $0.7 million of additional gain on sale.
One Uptown Venture
On December 1, 2021, the Company entered into two joint venture agreements with affiliates of Canyon Partners Real Estate to commence development of One Uptown, a $328.4 million mixed-used project in Austin, Texas. One Uptown has been designed to deliver 348,000 square feet of Class-A workspace and 15,000 square feet of street-level retail (through the "office" joint venture) and 341 apartment residences and a public park (through the "multifamily" joint venture) and a six-story parking garage to be shared by the two joint ventures. The Company's partner in each of the two joint ventures has agreed, subject to customary funding conditions, including closing of the applicable construction loan, to fund approximately $57.5 million of the combined project costs in exchange for a 50% preferred equity interest in each of the two joint ventures, with the Company retaining a 50% common equity interest in each. The Company is in the process of securing a construction loan for each of the two joint ventures that would total approximately $213.4 million, representing 65% of the combined project costs. Under the terms of each of the joint venture agreements, the joint venture partner has no obligation to fund any portion of the applicable project costs until the closing of the applicable construction loan. This right prevents the Company from meeting the sale recognition criteria of ASC 606 until the applicable closings of the construction loans.
Held for Use Impairment
As of December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, the Company evaluated the recoverability of the carrying value of its properties that triggered assessment. Based on the analysis, no impairments were identified during the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019.
Held for Sale
As of December 31, 2021, the Company determined that the sale of two adjacent parcels of land within the Other segment totaling 10.0 acres was probable and classified these properties as held for sale. As such, $0.6 million was classified as “Assets held for sale, net” on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company closed on the sale of the two parcels of land on January 20, 2022 for an aggregate sales price of $1.6 million.
