On April 25, 2023, the Company's joint venture in Deptford Mall closed on a three-year maturity date extension for the existing loan to April 3, 2026, including extension options. The Company's joint venture repaid $10,000 ($5,100 at the Company's pro rata share) of the outstanding loan balance at closing. The interest rate on the loan remains unchanged at 3.73%. Effective May 9, 2023, the Company’s joint venture in Country Club Plaza defaulted on the $295,210 ($147,605 at the Company’s pro rata share) non-recourse loan on the property. The Company’s joint venture is in negotiations with the lender on the terms of this non-recourse loan. Accordingly, the joint venture shortened the holding period of the property due to the uncertainty as to the outcome of these discussions. As a result of shortening the holding period, the joint venture determined the fair value of the property was less than the carrying value and recorded an impairment loss during 2023. The Company recognized $100,997 as its share of the impairment which was limited to the extent of its investment which has been reduced to zero. On May 18, 2023, the Company acquired Seritage Growth Properties' ("Seritage") remaining 50% ownership interest in the MS Portfolio LLC joint venture that owns five former Sears parcels, for a total purchase price of $46,687. These parcels are located at Chandler Fashion Center, Danbury Fair Mall, Freehold Raceway Mall, Los Cerritos Center and Washington Square. As a result of this transaction and the shortening of holding periods, an impairment loss was recorded by the joint venture. The Company's share of the impairment loss was $51,363. Effective as of May 18, 2023, the Company now owns and has consolidated its 100% interest in these five former Sears parcels in its consolidated financial statements (See Note 15—Acquisitions). On December 4, 2023, the Company's joint venture in Tysons Corner Center replaced the existing $666,465 mortgage loan on the property with a new $710,000 loan that bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.60%, is interest only during the entire loan term and matures on December 6, 2028.

The existing $324,632 loan on the property was repaid, and $77,643 of net proceeds were generated at the Company’s 25% ownership share, which were used to reduce the Company’s revolving loan facility. As a result of this transaction, the Company recognized its share of gain on sale of assets of $8,118. On January 10, 2024, the Company's joint venture in Boulevard Shops replaced the existing $23,000 mortgage loan on the property with a new $24,000 loan that bears interest at a variable rate of SOFR plus 2.50%, is interest only during the entire loan term and matures on December 5, 2028. The new loan has a required interest rate cap throughout the term of the loan at a strike rate of 7.5%. The Company has a 50/50 joint venture with Simon Property Group, which was initially formed to develop Los Angeles Premium Outlets, a premium outlet center in Carson, California. In the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company evaluated its investment and concluded that due to certain conditions, the Company should not continue to invest capital in this development project.
