(1) This disposition also included land.
We also sold:
|
|
• |
a 50% interest in six triple-net leased, single-tenant data center properties in Virginia by contributing them into a newly-formed joint venture, GI-COPT DC Partnership LLC (“GI-COPT”), for an aggregate property value of $147.6 million on July 21, 2016. We obtained $60.0 million in non-recourse mortgage loans on the properties through the joint venture immediately prior to the sale of our interest and received the net proceeds. Our partner in the joint venture acquired the 50% interest in the joint venture from us for $44.3 million. We account for our 50% interest in the joint venture using the equity method of accounting as described further in Note 6. We recognized a gain on the sale of our interest of $17.9 million; and
|
|
|
• |
other land for $21.8 million and recognized a gain on sale of $7.2 million.

2016 Construction Activities
In 2016, we placed into service 639,000 square feet in six newly constructed office properties and 61,000 square feet in three redeveloped properties. As of December 31, 2016, we had eight office properties under construction (including a partially operational property) that we estimate will total 1.3 million square feet upon completion (including two properties completed but held for future lease to the United States Government) and three office properties under redevelopment (including two partially operational properties) that we estimate will total 104,000 square feet upon completion.

|
|
|

We expensed operating property acquisition costs of $4.1 million in 2015 that are included in business development expenses and land carry costs on our consolidated statements of operations.
We accounted for these acquisitions as business combinations.

The following table presents pro forma information for COPT and subsidiaries as if these acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2014. This pro forma information also includes adjustments to reclassify the operating property acquisition costs disclosed above to the year ended December 31, 2014 from the 2015 periods in which they were actually incurred. The pro forma financial information was prepared for comparative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what would have occurred had these acquisitions been made at that time or of results which may occur in the future (in thousands, except per shares amounts).

Each of these properties were sold except for 15000 and 15010 Conference Center Drive, the disposition of which was completed in connection with a debt extinguishment, as discussed further below. |
We also sold land in 2015 for $18.1 million and recognized gains of $4.0 million on the sales.
On August 28, 2015, ownership in 15000 and 15010 Conference Center Drive was transferred to the mortgage lender on a $150.0 million nonrecourse mortgage loan that was secured by the properties and we removed the debt obligation and accrued interest from our balance sheet. Upon completion of this transfer, we recognized a gain on early extinguishment of debt of $84.8 million, representing the difference between the mortgage loan and accrued interest payable extinguished over the carrying value of the properties transferred as of the transfer date and related closing costs.
