Investments In and Advances to Unconsolidated Affiliates

Core Portfolio

The Company owns a 49% interest in a 311,000 square foot shopping center located in White Plains, New York ("Crossroads), a 50% interest in a 28,000 square foot retail portfolio located in Georgetown, Washington D.C. (the "Georgetown Portfolio"), a 22.22% interest in a 20,000 square foot retail property located in Wilmington, Delaware ("Route 202 Shopping Center") and a 88.43% tenancy in common interest in an 87,000 square foot retail property located in Chicago, Illinois. As our unaffiliated partners in these investments maintain operating control, these are accounted for under the equity method.

Funds

Fund Investments

During 2014, Fund IV, entered into a joint venture (the "Broughton Street Portfolio") with an unaffiliated entity, to acquire and operate properties located in Savannah, Georgia. Fund IV invested $8.1 million of equity and made a loan commitment of up to $69.0 million of which $28.4 million was funded to the joint venture as of December 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2014, the joint venture had acquired 24 properties for an aggregate purchase price of $33.9 million.

In addition, Fund IV, through a joint venture with an unaffiliated entity, purchased a shopping center in Bear, Delaware for $25.4 million.

During the third quarter of 2014, an unconsolidated joint venture between Fund III and an unaffiliated entity sold three properties located on Lincoln Road in Miami, Florida for an aggregate sales price of $141.8 million. In addition, an unconsolidated joint venture between Fund IV and an unaffiliated entity sold three properties located on Lincoln Road in Miami, Florida for an aggregate sales price of $200.2 million during the third quarter of 2014. The sales of the Fund III and Fund IV Lincoln Road portfolios resulted in gains of $86.6 million and $54.6 million, respectively.

The unaffiliated partners in Fund II's investment in Albee Tower I Owners, Fund III's investments in Parkway Crossing, Arundel Plaza and the White City Shopping Center as well as Fund IV's investments in 1701 Belmont Avenue, 2819 Kennedy Boulevard, Promenade at Manassas, Eden Square and the Broughton Street Portfolio, maintain control over these entities. The Company accounts for these investments under the equity method as it has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not have any rights with respect to financial or operating control.

Self-Storage Management, a Fund III investment, was determined to be a variable interest entity. Management has evaluated the applicability of ASC Topic 810 to this joint venture and determined that the Company is not the primary beneficiary and, therefore, consolidation of this venture is not required. The Company accounts for this investment using the equity method of accounting.

RCP Venture

The Funds, together with two unaffiliated partners formed an investment group, the RCP Venture, for the purpose of making investments in surplus or underutilized properties owned by retailers and, in some instances, the retailers' operating company. The RCP Venture is neither a single entity nor a specific investment and the Company has no control or rights with respect to the formation and operation of these investments. The Company has made these investments through its subsidiaries, Mervyns I, Mervyns II and Fund II, (together the "Acadia Investors"), all on a non-recourse basis. Through December 31, 2014, the Acadia Investors have made investments in Mervyns Department Stores ("Mervyns") and Albertsons including additional investments in locations that are separate from these original investments ("Add-On Investments"). Additionally, they have invested in Shopko, Marsh and Rex Stores Corporation (collectively "Other RCP Investments").

The Company accounts for the original investments in Mervyns and Albertson’s under the equity method of accounting as the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not have financial or operating control.

The Company accounts for the Add-On Investments and Other RCP Investments under the cost method. Due to its minor ownership interest, based on the size of the investments as well as the terms of the underlying operating agreements, the Company has no influence over such entities' operating and financial policies. Other than the minority investor rights to which the Company is entitled pursuant to statute, it has no rights other than to receive its pro-rata share of cash distributions as declared by the managers of the Add-On Investments and Other RCP Investments. The Company has no rights with respect to the control and operation of these investment vehicles, nor with the formulation and execution of business and investment policies.
