Joint Venture

During the second quarter 2018, we entered into the Joint Venture with a third party partner for the purpose of developing, leasing, operating and potentially selling approximately 532 net developable acres of land located in the Phoenix, Arizona metropolitan area. The purchase price of the land was $49,000 and was acquired by the Joint Venture via cash equity contributions from us and our joint venture partner. Through a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, we own a 49% interest in the Joint Venture.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Joint Venture sold one land parcel for gross proceeds of $10,130. The gain on sale of real estate attributable to this sale was $1,974.

Under the Joint Venture's operating agreement, we act as the managing member of the Joint Venture and are entitled to receive fees for providing management, leasing, development, construction supervision, disposition and asset management services to the Joint Venture. In addition, the Joint Venture's operating agreement provides us the ability to earn an incentive fee based on the ultimate financial performance of the Joint Venture.

As part of our assessment of the appropriate accounting treatment for the Joint Venture, we reviewed the operating agreement of the Joint Venture in order to determine our rights and the rights of our joint venture partner, including whether those rights are protective or participating. We found that the operating agreement contains certain protective rights, such as the requirement of both member's approval to sell, finance or refinance the property and to pay capital expenditures and operating expenditures outside of the approved budget. However, we also found that we and our Joint Venture partner jointly (i) approve the annual budget, (ii) approve certain expenditures, (iii) review and approve the Joint Venture's tax return before filing and (iv) approve each lease at a developed property. We consider the latter rights substantive participation rights that result in shared, joint power over the activities that most significantly impact the performance of the Joint Venture. As such, we concluded to account for our investment in the Joint Venture under the equity method of accounting.
