Related Party Transactions [Abstract] |
Transactions with Related Parties | Transactions with Related Parties Riverside Portfolio acquisition On August 1, 2013, we closed on the Riverside Acquisition (See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Patrick Waite, our Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, was formerly employed by an affiliate of Riverside Communities, as a result of which he had financial interests in the sale that resulted in him receiving his share in cash upon the closing of the acquisition. Mr. Waite did not participate in our management's analysis, decision-making or recommendation to the Board of Directors with respect to the acquisition. In addition, David Helfand, the founder and CEO of Riverside Communities, served in various positions with us before 2005, including, at various times, as our Chief Financial Officer, Chief Executive Officer, and as a member of our Board of Directors. Mr. Helfand is currently Co-President of Equity Group Investments, an entity affiliated with Sam Zell, Chairman of our Board of Directors. Corporate Headquarters We lease office space from Two North Riverside Plaza Joint Venture Limited Partnership, an entity affiliated with Mr. Zell, Chairman of our Board of Directors. Payments made in accordance with the lease agreement to this entity amounted to approximately $1.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013.
