Leases [Abstract] |
Lessor, Operating Leases | 7. Leases Lessor Accounting All of the Company’s leases are classified as operating leases. The Company's Lease income is comprised of both fixed and variable income. Fixed and in-substance fixed lease income includes stated amounts per the lease contract, which are primarily related to base rent, and in some cases stated amounts for CAM, real estate taxes, and insurance (“Recoverable Costs”). Income for these amounts is recognized on a straight-line basis. Variable lease income includes the following two main items in the lease contracts: (i) Recoveries from tenants represents the tenants' contractual obligations to reimburse the Company for their portion of Recoverable Costs incurred. Generally the Company’s leases provide for the tenants to reimburse the Company based on the tenants’ share of the actual costs incurred in proportion to the tenants’ share of leased space in the property. (ii) Percentage rent represents amounts billable to tenants based on the tenants' actual sales volume in excess of levels specified in the lease contract. The following table provides a disaggregation of lease income recognized as either fixed or variable lease income based on the criteria specified in ASC Topic 842:

Lessee Accounting The Company has shopping centers that are subject to non-cancelable, long-term ground leases where a third party owns the underlying land and has leased the land to the Company to construct and/or operate a shopping center. The Company has 20 properties within its consolidated real estate portfolio that are either partially or completely on land subject to ground leases with third parties. Accordingly, the Company owns only a long-term leasehold or similar interest in these properties. These ground leases expire through the year 2101, and in most cases, provide for renewal options. In addition, the Company has non-cancelable operating leases pertaining to office space from which it conducts its business. Office leases expire through the year 2029, and in many cases, provide for renewal options. The ground and office lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the leases, including management's estimate of expected option renewal periods. Operating lease expense under the Company's ground and office leases was as follows, including straight-line rent expense and variable lease expenses such as CPI increases, percentage rent and reimbursements of landlord costs:
