Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract] |
Real Estate Sold and Held For Sale and Discontinued Operations | REAL ESTATE SOLD AND HELD FOR SALE/DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS The Company considers a real estate property to be held for sale when it meets the criteria established under ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, including when it is probable that the property will be sold within a year. Real estate properties held for sale are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less estimated costs to sell and are not depreciated while they are held for sale. The Company did not classify any properties as held for sale as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. In accordance with FASB ASU 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360), Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, the Company would report a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results when the component or group of components meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale or when the component or group of components is disposed of by sale or other than by sale. In addition, the Company would provide additional disclosures about both discontinued operations and the disposal of an individually significant component of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations presentation in the financial statements. EastGroup performs an analysis of properties sold to determine whether the sales qualify for discontinued operations presentation. The Company does not consider its sales in 2017 and the first nine months of 2018 to be disposals of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity representing a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on the entity's operations and financial results. The Company sold World Houston 18, 56 Commerce Park and 35th Avenue Distribution Center during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The properties, which contain 339,000 square feet and are located in Houston, Tampa and Phoenix, were sold for $22.9 million and the Company recognized gains on the sales of $14.3 million. The sale of 35th Avenue Distribution Center closed during the three months ended September 30, 2018, resulting in a gain on sale of $4.1 million recognized in the third quarter.
