4.    INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES

 

As of March 31, 2014, the Company had an aggregate investment of approximately $179.7 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 March 31, 2014, the unconsolidated joint ventures owned: 21 office and two retail properties aggregating approximately 2.6 million square feet, seven multi-family properties totaling 2,597 apartments, a 350-room hotel, a senior mezzanine loan position in the capital stack of a 1.7 million square foot commercial property; development projects for up to approximately 2,976 apartments; and interests and/or rights to developable land parcels able to accommodate up to 3,708 apartments and 1.2 million square feet of office space.  The Company’s unconsolidated interests range from 7.5 percent to 80 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 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 had $504,000 and $523,000 in accounts receivable due from its unconsolidated joint ventures as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. 

 

Included in the Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures as of March 31, 2014 are six 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 $9.4 million as of March 31, 2014.  The Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with these VIEs is estimated to be approximately $18.2 million, which includes the Company’s current investment and estimated future funding commitments of approximately $8.8 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.
