Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block] | 9. Variable Interest Entities: Consolidated Ground-Up Development Projects Included within the Company’s ground-up development projects at December 31, 2013, are two entities that are VIEs, for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. These entities were established to develop real estate property to hold as long-term investments. The Company’s involvement with these entities is through its majority ownership and management of the properties. The entities were deemed VIEs primarily based on the fact that the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional financial support. The initial equity contributed to these entities was not sufficient to fully finance the real estate construction as development costs are funded by the partners throughout the construction period. The Company determined that it was the primary beneficiary of these VIEs as a result of its controlling financial interest. At December 31, 2013, total assets of these ground-up development VIEs were $88.3 million and total liabilities were $0.1 million. The classification of these assets is primarily within Real estate under development in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and the classifications of liabilities are primarily within Accounts payable and accrued expenses on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Substantially all of the projected development costs to be funded for these ground-up development VIEs, aggregating $33.7 million, will be funded with capital contributions from the Company and by the outside partners, when contractually obligated. The Company has not provided financial support to these VIEs that it was not previously contractually required to provide. Unconsolidated Ground-Up Development Also included within the Company’s ground-up development projects at December 31, 2013, is an unconsolidated joint venture, which is a VIE for which the Company is not the primary beneficiary. This joint venture is primarily established to develop real estate property for long-term investment and was deemed a VIE primarily based on the fact that the equity investment at risk was not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional financial support. The initial equity contributed to this entity was not sufficient to fully finance the real estate construction as development costs are funded by the partners throughout the construction period. The Company determined that it was not the primary beneficiary of this VIE based on the fact that the Company has shared control of this entity along with the entity’s partner and therefore does not have a controlling financial interest. The Company’s investment in this VIE was $18.2 million as of December 31, 2013, which is included in Real estate under development in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with this VIE is estimated to be $19.6 million, which primarily represents the Company’s current investment and estimated future funding commitments of $1.4 million. The Company has not provided financial support to this VIE that it was not previously contractually required to provide. All future costs of development will be funded with capital contributions from the Company and the outside partner in accordance with their respective ownership percentages. Unconsolidated Redevelopment Investment Included in the Company’s joint venture investments at December 31, 2013, is one unconsolidated joint venture, which is a VIE for which the Company is not the primary beneficiary. This joint venture was primarily established to redevelop real estate property for long-term investment and was deemed a VIE primarily based on the fact that the equity investment at risk was not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional financial support. The initial equity contributed to this entity was not sufficient to fully finance the real estate construction as redevelopment costs are funded by the partners throughout the construction period. The Company determined that it was not the primary beneficiary of this VIE based on the fact that the Company has shared control of this entity along with the entity’s partners and therefore does not have a controlling financial interest. As of December 31, 2013, the Company’s investment in this VIE was a negative $11.1 million, due to the fact that the Company had a remaining capital commitment obligation, which is included in Other liabilities in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with this VIE is estimated to be $11.1 million, which is the remaining capital commitment obligation. The Company has not provided financial support to this VIE that it was not previously contractually required to provide. All future costs of redevelopment will be funded with capital contributions from the Company and the outside partner in accordance with their respective ownership percentages.
