Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract] |
Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures | Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures We recorded approximately $0.9 million and $1.9 million (each net of approximately $0.2 million of depreciation expense) of equity in income from unconsolidated joint ventures for each of the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. We received approximately $0.4 million and $1.4 million in distributions from these joint ventures for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Approximately $1.1 million of the distributions received exceeded our basis in a joint venture and as such were recorded as income from unconsolidated joint ventures for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. On February 12, 2015, we contributed approximately $4.0 million to the ECHO JV, which brought our total investment in this joint venture to approximately $10.4 million. The following table summarizes our investment in unconsolidated joint ventures (investment amounts in thousands with the number of Properties shown parenthetically as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively):
