Real Estate Dispositions

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we continued to execute our capital recycling program, whereby we sold properties outside of our core markets and redeployed proceeds to either fund property acquisitions in our target secondary growth markets, or repay outstanding debt. We expect to continue to execute our capital recycling plan and sell non-core
properties as reasonable disposition opportunities become available. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we sold two non-core properties, located in Rancho Cordova, California and Champaign, Illinois, which are summarized in the table below (dollars in thousands):

Aggregate Square Footage Sold Aggregate Sales Price Aggregate Sales Costs Aggregate loss on Sale of Real Estate, net
81,758  $ 5,473  $ 367  $ (882)

Our dispositions during the three months ended March 31, 2021 were not classified as discontinued operations because they did not represent a strategic shift in operations, nor will such dispositions have a major effect on our operations and financial results. Accordingly, the operating results of these properties are included within continuing operations for all periods reported.

The table below summarizes the components of operating income from the real estate and related assets disposed of during the three months ended March 31, 2021, and 2020 (dollars in thousands):

For the three months ended March 31,

Real Estate Held for Sale

As of March 31, 2021, we did not have any properties classified as held for sale. At December 31, 2020, we had three properties classified as held for sale, located in Boston Heights, Ohio, Rancho Cordova, California, and Champaign, Illinois. Two of the properties were sold during the three months ended March 31, 2021. Our Boston Heights, Ohio property is classified as held and used as of March 31, 2021, as this property no longer meets the held for sale criteria.

The table below summarizes the components of the assets and liabilities held for sale reflected on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets (dollars in thousands):
 
December 31, 2020
Assets Held for Sale
Total real estate held for sale $ 8,114 
Lease intangibles, net 384 
Total Assets Held for Sale $ 8,498 

Impairment Charges

We evaluated our portfolio for triggering events to determine if any of our held and used assets were impaired during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and did not recognize an impairment charge. We did not recognize an impairment charge during the three months ended March 31, 2020 after we evaluated our portfolio for triggering events to determine if any of our held and used assets were impaired.

We continue to evaluate our properties on a quarterly basis for changes that could create the need to record impairment. Future impairment losses may result, and could be significant, should market conditions deteriorate in the markets in which we hold our assets or should we be unable to secure leases at terms that are favorable to us, which could impact the estimated cash flow of our properties over the period in which we plan to hold our properties. Additionally, changes in management’s decisions to either own and lease long-term or sell a particular asset will have an impact on this analysis.
