[1] | Due to the substantial liquidation of its investment in Mexico, the Company recognized a loss from foreign currency translation related to consolidated properties in the amount of $92.9 million, before noncontrolling interest of $5.8 million. (See footnote 22 for additional disclosure).In addition to the impairment charges above, the Company recognized pretax impairment charges during 2015, 2014 and 2013 of $22.2 million, $54.5 million (including $47.3 million in cumulative foreign currency translation loss relating to the Company's substantial liquidation of its investment in Mexico), and $29.5 million, respectively, relating to certain properties held by various unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company holds noncontrolling interests. These impairment charges are included in Equity in income of joint ventures, net in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income (see Footnote 7).The Company will continue to assess the value of its assets on an on-going basis. Based on these assessments, the Company may determine that one or more of its assets may be impaired and would therefore write-down its carrying basis accordingly.
[2] | At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had accumulated amortization relating to in-place leases, tenant relationships and above-market leases aggregating $357,581 and $290,748, respectively.
