Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract] |
Stockholders' Equity of the Company and Partners' Capital of the Operating Partnership | Stockholders’ Equity of the Company and Partners' Capital of the Operating Partnership Operating Partnership Units The Operating Partnership has issued General Partner Units, Limited Partner Units and preferred general partnership Units. The General Partner Units resulted from capital contributions from the Company. The Limited Partner Units are issued in conjunction with the acquisition of certain properties (see discussion below). Subject to certain lock-up periods, holders of Limited Partner Units can redeem their Units by providing written notification to the General Partner of the Operating Partnership. Unless the General Partner provides notice of a redemption restriction to the holder, redemption must be made within seven business days after receipt of the holder’s notice. The redemption can be effectuated, as determined by the General Partner, either by exchanging the Limited Partner Units for shares of common stock of the Company on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment, or by paying cash equal to the fair market value of such shares. Prior requests for redemption have generally been fulfilled with shares of common stock of the Company, and the Operating Partnership intends to continue this practice. If each Limited Partner Unit of the Operating Partnership were redeemed as of December 31, 2015, the Operating Partnership could satisfy its redemption obligations by making an aggregate cash payment of approximately $95,285 or by issuing 4,305,707 shares of the Company’s common stock. The preferred general partnership Units result from preferred capital contributions from the Company. The Operating Partnership is required to make all required distributions on the preferred general partnership Units prior to any distribution of cash or assets to the holders of the Units. The consent of the holder of the Limited Partner Units is required to alter such holder’s rights as to allocations and distributions, to alter or modify such holder’s rights with respect to redemption, to cause the early termination of the Operating Partnership or to amend the provisions of the partnership agreement which requires such consent. Preferred Stock or General Partner Preferred Units On May 27, 2004, the Company issued 50,000 Depositary Shares, each representing 1/100th of a share of the Company's 6.236%, Series F Flexible Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value (the "Series F Preferred Stock"), at an initial offering price of $1,000.00 per Depositary Share. The net proceeds from the issuance of the Series F Preferred Stock were contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for 6.236% Series F Cumulative Preferred Units (the "Series F Preferred Units") and are reflected in the Operating Partnerships' financial statements as a general partner preferred unit contribution. The Series F Preferred Stock was redeemable for cash at the Company's option, in whole or in part, at a redemption price of $1,000.00 per Depositary Share, or $50,000 in the aggregate, plus dividends accrued and unpaid to the redemption date. On March 6, 2014, the Company fully redeemed the Series F Preferred Stock, at a redemption price of $1,000.00 per Depositary Share, and paid a pro-rated first quarter dividend of $11.3299 per Depositary Share, totaling $566. An equivalent number of Series F Preferred Units were redeemed on March 6, 2014 as well. The initial offering costs associated with the issuance of the Series F Preferred Stock or Series F Preferred Units, as well as costs associated with the redemption, totaled $949 and are reflected as a deduction from net income in determining earnings per share or earnings per Unit for the year ended December 31, 2014. On May 27, 2004, the Company issued 25,000 Depositary Shares, each representing 1/100th of a share of the Company's 7.236%, Series G Flexible Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value (the "Series G Preferred Stock"), at an initial offering price of $1,000.00 per Depositary Share.
