Developments of Consolidated Outlet Centers

Foxwoods, Connecticut

In May 2015, we opened a 312,000 square feet outlet center at the Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut. We own a controlling interest in the joint venture which is consolidated for financial reporting purposes. Construction began on the outlet center in September 2013. As of June 30, 2015, our partner’s equity contributions totaled approximately $1.0 million and our equity contributions totaled approximately $46.7 million. Contributions we make in excess of $40.0 million earn a preferred rate of return of 15% from the date of contribution. In addition, each partner earns a rate of return of 10% on their initial capital contributions from the date of contribution.

Development continues for the following consolidated outlet centers as of June 30, 2015:

The outlet center is located 11 miles south of downtown Grand Rapids at the southwest quadrant of US-131 and 84th Street in Byron Township, Michigan, with visibility from both roads.

In January 2015, we purchased land for approximately $14.8 million and commenced construction on the development of an approximately 320,000 square foot outlet center in Southaven, Mississippi. Tanger Outlets Southaven will be located less than five miles south of Memphis, Tennessee. The outlet center is being developed through a joint venture in which we own a controlling interest and is consolidated for financial reporting purposes. As of June 30, 2015, our partner’s equity contributions totaled approximately $456,000 and our equity contributions totaled approximately $26.6 million.
