The gains we recognize in Gains on Dispositions of Development Properties and Land, Net in the Consolidated Statements of Income are principally driven by the contribution of newly developed properties to our unconsolidated co-investment ventures and occasionally sales to a third party.

During 2026, we contributed real estate properties and land to three new unconsolidated co-investment ventures: two development vehicles in the U.S. in the first quarter and one stabilized vehicle in Europe in the second quarter.

Leases

 

We have lease right-of-use assets of $835.3 million and $671.7 million within Other Assets and lease liabilities of $658.3 million and $643.5 million within Other Liabilities, principally for land and office space leases in which we are the lessee, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
