4.    INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES

 

As of September 30, 2014, the Company had an aggregate investment of approximately $239.8 million in its equity method joint ventures.  The Company formed these ventures with unaffiliated third parties, or acquired interests in them, to develop or manage primarily office and multi-family rental properties, or to acquire land in anticipation of possible development of office and multi-family rental properties.  As of September 30, 2014, the unconsolidated joint ventures owned: 36 office and two retail properties aggregating approximately 5.7 million square feet, 10 multi-family properties totaling 3,639 apartments, a 350-room hotel, development projects for up to approximately 2,275 apartments; and interests and/or rights to developable land parcels able to accommodate up to 2,994 apartments and 1.4 million square feet of office space.  The Company’s unconsolidated interests range from 7.5 percent to 85 percent subject to specified priority allocations in certain of the joint ventures.

 

On October 23, 2012, the Company acquired the real estate development and management businesses (the “Roseland Business”) of Roseland Partners, L.L.C. (“Roseland Partners”), a premier multi-family rental community developer and manager based in Short Hills, New Jersey, and the Roseland Partners’ interests (the “Roseland Transaction”), principally through unconsolidated joint venture interests in various entities which, directly or indirectly, own or have rights with respect to various residential and/or commercial properties or vacant land (collectively, the “Roseland Assets”).  The locations of the properties extend from New Jersey to Massachusetts, with the majority of the properties located in New Jersey.  Certain of the entities which own the Roseland Assets are controlled by the Company upon acquisition and are therefore consolidated. However, many of the entities are not controlled by the Company and, therefore, are accounted for under the equity method as investments in unconsolidated joint ventures.

 

The amounts reflected in the following tables (except for the Company’s share of equity in earnings) are based on the historical financial information of the individual joint ventures.  The Company does not record losses of the joint ventures in excess of its investment balances unless the Company is liable for the obligations of the joint venture or is otherwise committed to provide financial support to the joint venture.  The outside basis portion of the Company’s investments in joint ventures is amortized over the anticipated useful lives of the underlying ventures’ tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed.  Unless otherwise noted below, the debt of the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures generally is non-recourse to the Company, except for customary exceptions pertaining to such matters as intentional misuse of funds, environmental conditions, and material misrepresentations.

 

The Company has agreed to guarantee repayment of a portion of the debt of its unconsolidated joint ventures.  As of September 30, 2014, such debt had a total facility amount of $287.9 million of which the Company agreed to guarantee up to $71.5 million.  As of September 30, 2014, the outstanding balance of such debt totaled $215.5 million of which $62.6 million was guaranteed by the Company.  The Company also posted a $4.1 million letter of credit in support of the South Pier at Harborside joint venture, half of which is indemnified by Hyatt Corporation, the Company’s joint venture partner.  The Company performed management, leasing, development and other services for the properties owned by the unconsolidated joint ventures and recognized $1.9 million and $1.7 million for such services in the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $5.1 million and $4.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  The Company had $899,000 and $523,000 in accounts receivable due from its unconsolidated joint ventures as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013

 

Included in the Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures as of September 30, 2014 are eight unconsolidated development joint ventures, which are VIEs for which the Company is not the primary beneficiary.  These joint ventures are primarily established to develop real estate property for long-term investment and were deemed VIEs primarily based on the fact that the equity investment at risk was not sufficient to permit the entities to finance their activities without additional financial support.  The initial equity contributed to these entities was not sufficient to fully finance the real estate construction as development costs are funded by the partners throughout the construction period.  The Company determined that it was not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs based on the fact that the Company has shared control of these entities along with the entity’s partners and therefore does not have controlling financial interests in these VIEs.  The Company’s aggregate investment in these VIEs was approximately $96.7 million as of September 30, 2014.  The Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with these VIEs is estimated to be approximately $207.4 million, which includes the Company’s current investment and estimated future funding commitments/guarantees of approximately $110.7 million.  The Company has not provided financial support to these VIEs that it was not previously contractually required to provide.  In general, future costs of development not financed through third party will be funded with capital contributions from the Company and its outside partners in accordance with their respective ownership percentages.

Harborside Unit A Urban Renewal, L.L.C.

Pursuant to a developer agreement entered into in December 2011, on May 21, 2014, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Ironstate Harborside-A LLC (“ISA”) to form Harborside Unit A Urban Renewal, L.L.C. (“URL-Harborside”), a newly-formed joint venture that will develop, own and operate a high-rise tower of approximately 763 multi-family apartment units above a parking pedestal to be located on land contributed by the Company at its Harborside complex in Jersey City, New Jersey (the “URL Project”).  The construction of the URL Project is estimated to cost a total of approximately $320 million and is projected to be ready for occupancy by the fourth quarter of 2016.   The URL Project has been awarded up to $33 million in future tax credits (“URL Tax Credits”), subject to certain conditions, from the New Jersey Economic Development Authority.  The venture has an agreement to sell these credits, subject to certain conditions.  On August 1, 2014, the venture obtained a construction/permanent loan with a maximum borrowing amount of $192 million (with no balance currently outstanding as of September 30, 2014), which bears interest at a rate of 5.197 percent and matures in August 2029.  The Company currently expects that it will fund approximately $65.6 million of the remaining development costs of the project, net of the loan financing.

 

The Company owns an 85 percent interest in URL-Harborside and the remaining interest owned by ISA, with shared control over major decisions such as, approval of budgets, property financings and leasing guidelines.  Upon entering into the joint venture, the Company’s initial contribution was $30.6 million, which included a capital credit of $30 per approved developable square foot for its contributed land aggregating approximately $20.6 million with the balance consisting of previously incurred development costs, and ISA’s initial contribution was approximately $5.4 million.  Included in the Company’s investment in the unconsolidated joint venture is its land contribution with a carrying amount of $5.5 million.  The Company has funded an additional $12.6 million in development costs for the venture through September 30, 2014.

 

In general, the operating agreement of URL-Harborside provides that net operating cash flows are distributed first, to the members in respect of preferred return, as defined, until each member shall have received payment of the accrued and unpaid preferred return; and, thereafter, 75 percent to the Company and 25 percent to ISA.

 

Net cash flows from a capital event are distributed first, to the members in respect of preferred return, as defined, until each member shall have received payment of the accrued and unpaid preferred return; second, to the members pro rata based upon the ratio that their respective capital accounts bear to each other until each member shall have received their respective net capital, as defined; third, to the members at the rate of 75 percent to the Company and 25 percent to ISA until the Company shall have received distributions equal to an 18 percent internal rate of return on the Company’s capital contributions; and, thereafter, to the members, at the rate of 65 percent to the Company and 35 percent to ISA.

 

KPG-MCG Curtis JV, LLC / Curtis Center

On June 6, 2014, the Company and an affiliate of Keystone Property Group (“KPG”) acquired 50 percent tenants-in-common interests each for $62.5 million in Curtis Center, an 885,000 square foot commercial office property  located at 601 Walnut Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (the “Curtis Center Property”), which amounted to a total purchase of  approximately $125.0 million for the property.  In connection with the transaction, the Company provided short-term loans to KPG affiliates, as follows:  a 90-day, $52.3 million loan which bore interest at an annual rate of 3.5 percent payable at maturity, which was collateralized by the KPG affiliates’ interest in the Curtis Center Property; and a 90-day, $10 million loan which also bore interest at an annual rate of 3.5 percent payable at maturity.  The $10 million loan was repaid in full on September 2, 2014 and the $52.3 million loan was subsequently repaid in full on October 1, 2014.  The investments were funded by the Company primarily through borrowing under its revolving credit facility.  The venture plans to reposition the property into a mixed-use property by converting a portion of existing office space into multi-family rental apartments. 

 

Simultaneous with the acquisition of the Curtis Center Property, the Company and a KPG affiliate formed a new joint venture named KPG-MCG Curtis JV, LLC (the “Curtis Center JV”), which master leased the Curtis Center Property from the acquisition entities for approximately 29 years at market-based terms.  The Company and the KPG affiliate both own a 50 percent interest in the Curtis Center JV, with shared control over major decisions.

 

In general, the operating agreement of the Curtis Center JV provides that net cash flows from operations and capital events are distributed first, to the members, pro rata in proportion to their unreturned capital contributions, until each member’s unreturned capital contributions have been reduced to zero; and, thereafter, to each member, pro rata, in accordance with their percentage interests.
