On January 8, 2020, we acquired a 64,800 square foot property in Indianapolis, Indiana for $5.3 million. The property is leased to three tenants with a weighted average lease term of 7.2 years with annualized GAAP rent of $0.5 million. On January 27, 2020, we acquired a 320,838 square foot, three-property portfolio in Houston, Texas, Charlotte, North Carolina, and St. Charles, Missouri for $34.7 million. The portfolio has a weighted average lease term of 20.0 years, and an annualized GAAP rent of $2.6 million. We issued $18.3 million of mortgage debt with a fixed interest rate of 3.625% in connection with the acquisition. On March 9, 2020, we acquired a 504,400 square foot property in Chatsworth, Georgia for $32.0 million. We entered into an interest rate swap in connection with our $17.5 million of issued debt, resulting in a fixed interest rate of 2.8%. The annualized GAAP rent on the 10.5 Years lease is $2.2 million.
(2)
On February 8, 2019, we acquired a 26,050 square foot property in a suburb of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for $2.7 million. The annualized GAAP rent on the 15.1 year lease is $0.2 million. On February 28, 2019, we acquired a 34,800 square foot property in Indianapolis, Indiana for $3.6 million. The annualized GAAP rent on the 10.0 year lease is $0.3 million.

We accounted for these transactions under ASU 2017-01, “Clarifying the Definition of a Business.” As a result, we treated our acquisitions during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 as asset acquisitions rather than business combinations. As a result of this treatment, we capitalized $0.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively, of acquisition costs that would otherwise have been expensed under business combination treatment.

We determined the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed related to the properties acquired during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 as follows (dollars in thousands):

We account for all of our real estate leasing arrangements as operating leases. A majority of our leases are subject to fixed rental increases, but a small subset of our lease portfolio has variable lease payments that are driven by the consumer price index. Many of our tenants have renewal options in their respective leases, but we seldom include option periods in the determination of lease term, as we generally will not enter into leasing arrangements with bargain renewal options. A small number of tenants have termination options.

Future minimum lease payments from tenants under non-cancelable leases, excluding tenant reimbursement of expenses and real estate held for sale as of December 31, 2019, for each of the five succeeding fiscal years and thereafter, is as follows (dollars in thousands):
