Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] |
Restructuring and Related Activities Disclosure [Text Block] | Corporate office relocation On May 31, 2013, we announced our plan to relocate our corporate offices to Atlanta, Georgia, from its current location in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, in 2014. The decision to relocate reflects long-term growth trends for both us and the homebuilding industry and is intended to bring our corporate offices closer to our customers and a larger portion of our investment portfolio. The relocation of operations will occur in phases over time but is expected to be substantially complete no later than early 2015. We expect to incur the following approximate costs in connection with the relocation, the substantial majority of which represent future cash expenditures ($000's omitted):
Employee severance, retention, and relocation costs | $ | 21,000 |  | to | $ | 26,000 |
Asset impairments | 355 |  | to | 500 |
Lease termination and other exit costs | 27,000 |  | to | 32,000 |
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded employee severance, retention, and relocation costs of $0.3 million and $13.4 million, respectively, and asset impairments of $0.0 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Severance, retention, and relocation costs are recorded within selling, general, and administrative expense, while lease exit and asset impairments are included in other expense (income), net. We expect to record additional charges of approximately $2.0 million in 2013 related to the relocation with the remaining costs to be recognized primarily in 2014 and early 2015. We will also incur costs at the new location related to the recruitment and onboarding of new employees and certain redundant operating costs. The amount of such costs is not expected to be material.
