7. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On December 19, 2019, the Company announced that its Board had determined to sell the Company’s entire Suburban Office Portfolio totaling approximately 6.6 million square feet. As the decision to sell the Suburban Office Portfolio represented a strategic shift in the Company’s operations, the portfolio’s results are being classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented herein.
In late 2019 through September 30, 2020, the Company completed the sale of 16 of these suburban office properties, totaling 2.6 million square feet, for net sales proceeds of $294.8 million. As of September 30, 2020, the Company has identified as held for sale the remaining 21 office properties (comprised of 12 identified disposal groups) in the Suburban Office Portfolio, totaling four million square feet (of which the Company currently has 10 properties totaling 1.9 million square feet under contract for sale for aggregate gross proceeds of $407.5 million). In October 2020, the Company completed the sale of one of the properties held for sale, which was a 98,500 square foot office property, for gross proceeds of $7.5 million.
The Company plans to complete the sale of its remaining Suburban Office Portfolio properties in late 2020 and early 2021, and to use the available sales proceeds to pay down its corporate-level, unsecured indebtedness. However, the Company cannot predict whether or to what extent the timing of these sales and the expected amount and use of proceeds may be impacted by the ongoing coronavirus (“COVID-19”). After the completion of the Suburban Office Portfolio sales, the Company’s holdings will consist of its waterfront class A office portfolio and its multi-family rental portfolio, and related development projects and land holdings.
As a result of recent sales contract amendments and after considering the current market conditions as a result of the challenging economic climate with the current worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, the Company determined that the carrying value of 10 of the remaining held for sale properties (comprised of five disposal groups) was not expected to be recovered from estimated net sales proceeds, and accordingly recognized an unrealized loss allowance of zero and $33.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.
The following table summarizes income from discontinued operations and the related realized gains (losses) and unrealized losses on disposition of rental property and impairments, net, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 (dollars in thousands):
(a)Represents valuation allowances and impairment charges on properties classified as discontinued operations in 2020. (b)See Note 3: Real Estate Transactions – Dispositions for further information regarding properties sold and related gains (losses). |
