Real estate depreciation expense on building and tenant improvements was $6.9 million and $19.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, and $6.1 million and $17.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

Acquisitions

Acquisitions during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were accounted for as business combinations in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805 “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”), as there was a prior leasing history on the property. The fair value of all assets acquired and liabilities assumed were determined in accordance with ASC 805, and all acquisition-related costs were expensed as incurred. Commencing in the fourth quarter of 2016, we early adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01, “Clarifying the Definition of a Business” (“ASU 2017-01”), which narrows the scope of transactions that would be accounted under ASC 805. Under ASU 2017-01, if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the grouping is not a business, and rather an asset acquisition. Beginning in the fourth quarter 2016, acquisitions have been deemed an asset acquisition when evaluated under the new guidance, and all acquisition-related costs have been capitalized.

We acquired five properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, and two properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, which are summarized below (dollars in thousands):

On June 22, 2017, we acquired a 60,016 square foot property in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania for $15.7 million. We assumed $11.2 million of mortgage debt in connection with this acquisition. The annualized GAAP rent on the 8.5 year lease is $1.7 million. On July 7, 2017, we acquired a 300,000 square foot property in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for $27.1 million. We issued $14.9 million of mortgage debt with a fixed interest rate of 3.75% in connection with this acquisition. The annualized GAAP rent on the 15.4 year lease is $2.3 million. On July 31, 2017, we acquired a 306,435 square foot three property portfolio located in Maitland, Florida for $51.6 million. We issued $28.8 million of mortgage debt with a fixed interest rate of 3.89% in connection with this acquisition. This portfolio has a weighted average lease term of 8.6 years, and annualized GAAP rent of $6.8 million.
(2)
On May 26, 2016, we acquired a 107,062 square foot property in Salt Lake City, Utah for $17.0 million. We borrowed $9.9 million to fund the acquisition. The annualized GAAP rent on the 6.0 year lease is $1.4 million. On September 12, 2016, we acquired a 119,224 square foot property in Fort Lauderdale, Florida for $23.9 million. We borrowed $14.1 million to fund the acquisition. The annualized GAAP rent on the 9.0 year lease is $2.0 million.
(3)
We early adopted ASU 2017-01. As a result, we treated our acquisitions during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as asset acquisitions rather than business combinations. As a result of this treatment, we capitalized $1.2 million of acquisition costs that would otherwise have been expensed under business combination treatment.
(4)
We assumed an interest rate swap in connection with $11.2 million of assumed debt on our Conshohocken, Pennsylvania acquisition, in which we will pay our counterparty a fixed interest rate of 1.80%, and receive a variable interest rate of one month LIBOR from our counterparty. Our interest expense exposure is fixed at 3.55%. The interest rate swap had a fair value of $0.04 million upon the date of assumption, and subsequently increased in value to $0.2 million at September 30, 2017. We have elected to treat this interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge, and all changes in fair market value will be recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

We determined the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed related to the properties acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 as follows (dollars in thousands):

Pro-forma results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 are identical to actual results on the condensed consolidated statement of operations and other comprehensive income (loss) because we did not complete an acquisition that was accounted for as a business combination during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, pursuant to our early adoption of ASU 2017-01.

Significant Real Estate Activity on Existing Assets
