Included in the table above, during the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2018,
the Company sold a portion of its investment in a consolidated operating property to its partner based on a gross fair value of
$320.0
million, including
$206.0
million of non-recourse mortgage debt, and amended the partnership agreement to provide for joint control of the entity. As a result of the amendment, the Company
no

$43.8
million and recognized a gain on change in control of
$6.8
million, in accordance with the adoption of ASU

effective as of
January 1, 2018 (
See Footnote

to the Notes to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion). The Company now has an investment in this unconsolidated property (
$62.4
million as of the date of deconsolidation), included in Investments in and advances to real estate joint ventures on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s share of this investment is subject to change and is based upon a cash flow waterfall provision within the partnership agreement (
54.8%
as of the date of deconsolidation).
 
During the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2018,
the Company disposed of
10
land parcels, in separate transactions, for an aggregate sales price of
$9.7
million, which resulted in an aggregate gain of
$6.3
million, included in Other income, net on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
 
Held-for-Sale
 
At
September 30, 2018,
the Company had
one
consolidated property classified as held-for-sale at a net carrying amount of
$31.2
million (including accumulated depreciation and amortization of
$9.3
million), which is included in Other assets on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s determination of the fair value of the property was based upon an executed contract of sale with a
third
party, which is in excess of the carrying value of the property.
 
Impairments
 
During the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2018,
the Company recognized aggregate impairment charges of
$33.9
million. These impairment charges consist of (i)
$17.6
million related to adjustments to property carrying values for properties which the Company has marketed for sale as part of its active capital recycling program and as such has adjusted the anticipated hold period for such properties and (ii)
$16.3
million related to the sale of certain operating properties, as discussed above. The Company’s estimated fair values of these properties were primarily based upon estimated sales prices from (i) signed contracts or letters of intent from
third
party offers or (ii) discounted cash flow models. See Footnote
12
to the Notes to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for fair value disclosure.
