Disposition of Properties and Properties Held for Sale

In the fourth quarter of 2014, we entered into an agreement with a private buyer to acquire our outlet center in Lincoln City, Oregon along with an option agreement to purchase an additional four properties. Subsequently, the buyer purchased the Lincoln City outlet center in December 2014. The buyer had the option to purchase three properties during the first quarter of 2015 and one additional property during the first quarter of 2016. When the buyer did not close on the terms set forth in the agreement, the buyer's option expired. On April 1, 2015, we entered into a letter of intent with a private buyer for the sale of the four outlet centers that are currently classified as rental properties held for sale. The buyer is currently conducting due diligence. Should the buyer choose to move forward, the transaction is currently expected to close in the third quarter of 2015.

The four properties total approximately 712,000 square feet and have been classified as rental property held for sale as of March 31, 2015 on the consolidated balance sheets. The results of operations for these properties are included in continuing operations as the potential sale did not meet the criteria set forth in the recently-adopted guidance requiring the result of operations to be separately set forth as discontinued operations.

The carrying values of the rental properties held for sale were comprised of the following (in thousands):
