return loss and therefore have a loss carryforward that will apply to future performance participation allocations. The loss carryforward as of December 31, 2023 is approximately $1.47 per Fund Interest (unaudited). Realization of the loss carryforward is contingent on future performance. As such, the loss carryforward is not included in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023. Even after the offset of the loss carryforward, future performance participation allocations will be subject to the Hurdle Amount.
Organization and Offering Expenses. Beginning JanuaryΒ 1, 2020, we either pay organization and offering expenses directly or reimburse the Advisor and the Dealer Manager for any organization and offering expenses that it pays on our behalf as and when incurred. Our total cumulative organization and offering expenses may not exceed 15.0% of the gross proceeds from the primary portion of the applicable offering. As such, we would not consider organization and offering expenses above that amount to be payable, but such amounts may become payable in the future. There were no organization and offering expenses owed to the Advisor by us as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. As of December 31, 2023, our cumulative organization and offering expenses had not exceeded 15.0% of the gross proceeds from the primary portion of the offerings.
Development Fees. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, we have agreed to pay the Advisor a development fee in connection with providing services related to the development, construction, improvement or stabilization, including tenant improvements, of development properties or overseeing the provision of these services by third parties on behalf of us. The fee will be an amount that will be equal to 4.0% of total project cost of the development property (or our proportional interest therein with respect to real property held in joint ventures or other entities that are co-owned). If the Advisor engages a third party to provide development services, the third party will be compensated directly by us, and the Advisor will receive the development fee if it provides development oversight services.
Fees from Other Services. We may retain certain of the Advisorβs affiliates, from time to time, for services relating to our investments or our operations, which may include property management services, leasing services, corporate services, statutory services, transaction support services, construction and development management, and loan management and servicing, and within one or more such categories, providing services in respect of asset and/or investment administration, accounting, technology, tax preparation, finance, treasury, operational coordination, risk management, insurance placement, human resources, legal and compliance, valuation and reporting-related services, as well as services related to mortgage servicing, group purchasing, healthcare, consulting/brokerage, capital markets/credit origination, property, title and/or other types of insurance, management consulting and other similar operational matters. Any fees paid to the Advisorβs affiliates for any such services will not reduce the advisory fees. Any such arrangements will be at market rates or reimbursement of costs.
Acquisition Expense Reimbursements. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, subject to certain limitations, we agreed to reimburse the Advisor for all acquisition expenses incurred on our behalf in connection with the selection, acquisition, development or origination of our investments, whether or not such investments are acquired. As these expense reimbursements were not directly attributable to a specified property, they were expensed as incurred on the consolidated statements of operations.
Property-Level Accounting Services. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, we have agreed to pay the Advisor a property accounting fee in connection with providing services related to accounting for real property operations, including the maintenance of the real propertyβs books and records in accordance with GAAP and our policies, procedures, and internal controls, in a timely manner, and the processing of real property-related cash receipts and disbursements. The property accounting fee is equal to the difference between: (i) the property management fee charged with respect to each real property, which reflects the market rate for all real property management services, including property-level accounting services, based on rates charged for similar properties within the region or market in which the real property is located, and (ii) the amount paid to third-party property management firms for property management services, which fee is based on an armβs length negotiation with a third party property management service provider (the difference between (i) and (ii), the βproperty accounting feeβ).
DST Program
DST Program Dealer Manager Fees. In connection with the DST Program, as described in βNote 7,β Ares Industrial Real Estate Exchange LLC (βAIREXβ), a wholly-owned subsidiary of our taxable REIT subsidiary that is wholly-owned by the Operating Partnership, entered into a dealer manager agreement with the Dealer Manager, pursuant to which the Dealer Manager agreed to conduct the private placements for interests reflecting an indirect ownership of up to $2.5 billion of interests. The Advisor, Dealer Manager and certain of their affiliates receive fees and reimbursements in connection with their roles in the DST Program, which costs are substantially funded by the private investors in that program, through one or more purchase price βmark upsβ of the initial estimated fair value of the DST Properties to be sold to investors, fees paid by the investors at the time of investment, or deductions from distributions paid to such investors.
