Subsequent to the release of claims on the 23 properties as part of the global settlement, we reached definitive agreements with six operators (Healthcare Systems of America, Honor Health, Insight Health, Quorum Health, College Health, and Tenor Health) to lease 18 of these facilities during and after the quarter ending September 30, 2024. To date we have provided less than $100 million in short-term working capital loans to these operators. As of January 2025, we have started receiving partial cash rental payments from the re-tenanted portfolio (such transactions, including related agreements, the “Re-Tenanting”) and expect payments to ramp up to approximately 57% of contractual rent by the fourth quarter of 2025, 78% of contractual rent by second quarter 2026, and 100% of contractual rent by year end 2026. Excluding two developments, the remaining three former Steward properties (with a net book value of less than 1% of our total assets) are in various stages of being re-tenanted or sold. As of the date hereof, certain of the operators are receiving transitional services from Steward. If Steward is unable to continue providing these services, then these operators would be required to find alternative arrangements in connection with these services, which they may be unable to do on similar terms or within their anticipated timelines.
We received and recorded rent and interest revenue from Steward of $10 million and $40 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. In addition, we benefited from rent paid by Steward to the Massachusetts joint venture of $76 million ($38 million representing our share) for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Subsequent to September 30, 2024, the sale of the Space Coast properties was completed for approximately $440 million of which we received approximately $47 million, along with the release of claims discussed above.
Due to the events discussed above, we recorded impairment charges with respect to our investments (the majority of which was non-real estate related) in Steward of approximately $600 million and $1.6 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
With the lease termination discussed above, we accelerated the amortization of the related in-place lease intangibles resulting in $115 million and $149 million of amortization expense in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 as reflected in the real estate depreciation and amortization line of our consolidated statements of net income.
Prospect Medical Group
We lease real estate assets to Prospect in California and Connecticut and have a mortgage loan secured by four properties operated by Prospect in Pennsylvania. Our total real estate investment in Prospect properties was approximately $1.0 billion at September 30, 2024. In addition, in connection with a recapitalization transaction of Prospect in May 2023, we acquired a non-controlling investment in PHP Holdings that was valued at approximately $200 million as of September 30, 2024 and have a $75 million asset-backed loan outstanding.
In recent periods, Prospect’s operating losses in multiple East Coast markets, including Pennsylvania and Rhode Island (a state in which we have no investment), have adversely impacted Prospect’s overall liquidity. Starting January 1, 2023, we began accounting for our leases and loans to Prospect on a cash basis versus our normal accrual method. In the first nine months of 2024, we recognized approximately $25 million of revenue representing cash received for rents on our California properties. In addition, we received and recorded approximately $3.8 million of interest on the $75 million asset-backed loan. However, Prospect has not made any scheduled rent or interest payments since the second quarter of 2024.
On October 5, 2022, we entered into definitive agreements to sell three Prospect facilities located in Connecticut to Yale New Haven in a transaction for which we are contractually entitled to receive $355 million at closing. In addition, on November 8, 2024, Astrana Health entered into a binding agreement to purchase the majority of PHP Holdings, pursuant to which we are contractually entitled to receive up to $200 million in proceeds.
