We are the general partner and investment manager of the Fund, which has an eight-year term and a three-year investment period that ended in July 2013. During the investment period, the Fund was our exclusive investment vehicle for all investments that fit within its investment parameters, as defined. The Fund is accounted for under ASC 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies and its investments are reported on its balance sheet at fair value, with changes in value each period recognized in earnings. We consolidate the accounts of the Fund into our consolidated financial statements, retaining the fair value basis of accounting.

On January 20, 2015, we and one of the Fund's limited partners co-invested with the Fund to buy out the Fund's joint venture partner's 57% interest in the Crowne Plaza Times Square Hotel (the “Co-Investment”). The purchase price for the 57% interest was approximately $95,000,000 (our share $39,000,000) which valued the property at approximately $480,000,000. The property is encumbered by a newly placed $310,000,000 mortgage loan bearing interest at LIBOR plus 2.80% which matures in December 2018 with a one-year extension option. Our aggregate ownership interest in the property increased to 33% from 11%. The Co-Investment is included as a component of “real estate fund investments” on our consolidated balance sheets.

On March 25, 2015, the Fund completed the sale of 520 Broadway in Santa Monica, CA for $91,650,000. The Fund realized a $24,705,000 net gain over the holding period.

At March 31, 2015, we had six investments with an aggregate fair value of $554,426,000, or $169,832,000 in excess of cost, and had remaining unfunded commitments of $102,324,000, of which our share was $25,581,000.
