Revision of prior period amounts for Montvale Center [Table Text Block]  
The table below reflects selected information for the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The servicer of the non-recourse mortgage loan in the amount of $25.0 million collateralized by the Company's Montvale Center property located in Gaithersburg, Maryland foreclosed on the property on January 31, 2012. As a result of the foreclosure, the Company had recognized a gain on forgiveness of debt during the three months ended March 31, 2012 totaling approximately $17.8 million. Due to a procedural error of the trustee, the foreclosure sale was subsequently dismissed by the applicable court prior to ratification. As a result, the Company, as part of its 2012 Form 10-K filing, revised its financial statements to (1) properly reflect the property and related mortgage debt on its consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2012, (2) reverse the gain on forgiveness of debt during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and (3) recognize the operating activity from the property for the three months ended March 31, 2012. On February 20, 2013, the subsequent foreclosure sale of the Company's Montvale Center property was ratified by the court. As a result of the ratification, the mortgage loan totaling $25.0 million was extinguished and the related obligations were satisfied with the transfer of the real estate resulting in the recognition of a gain on forgiveness of debt totaling approximately $20.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013 (See Note 3). As a result, for the three months ended March 31, 2012, the activity for Montvale Center has been reclassified to discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012. In addition, operating results have been reclassified for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as a result of the discontinued operations presentation of (1) the Company's Bedford Business Park properties which were sold on May 17, 2012 and (2) the Company's 303 Almaden Boulevard property which has been classified as held for sale at March 31, 2013 (See Note 3).
