Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION | CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Organization and Formation UDR, Inc. (“UDR,” the “Company,” “we,” or “our”) is a self-administered real estate investment trust, or REIT, that owns, operates, acquires, renovates, develops, redevelops, and manages apartment communities generally in high barrier-to-entry markets located in the United States. The high barrier-to-entry markets are characterized by limited land for new construction, difficult and lengthy entitlement process, expensive single-family home prices and significant employment growth potential. At December 31, 2015, our consolidated apartment portfolio consisted of 133 consolidated communities located in 18 markets consisting of 40,728 apartment homes. In addition, the Company has an ownership interest in 6,696 apartment homes through unconsolidated joint ventures. Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements of UDR include its wholly-owned and/or controlled subsidiaries (see the “Consolidated Joint Ventures” section of Note 5, Joint Ventures and Partnerships, for further discussion). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current financial statement presentation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of UDR and its subsidiaries, including United Dominion Realty, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership” or the “OP”) and UDR Lighthouse DownREIT L.P. (the “DownREIT Partnership”). As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, there were 183,278,698 units in the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”) outstanding, of which 174,225,399 or 95.1% and 174,113,225 or 95.0%, respectively, were owned by UDR and 9,053,299 or 4.9% and 9,165,473 or 5.0%, respectively, were owned by outside limited partners. As of December 31, 2015, there were 32,367,380 units in the DownREIT Partnership (“DownREIT Units”) outstanding, of which 16,229,407 or 50.1% were owned by UDR (of which, 13,470,651 or 41.6% were held by the Operating Partnership) and 16,137,973 or 49.9% were owned by outside limited partners. The consolidated financial statements of UDR include the noncontrolling interests of the unitholders in the Operating Partnership and DownREIT Partnership. The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date its financial statements were issued. No significant recognized or non-recognized subsequent events were noted other than those mentioned in Note 4, Real Estate Owned and Note 6, Secured and Unsecured Debt, Net.
