Noncontrolling Interests:
Noncontrolling Interests:	13. Noncontrolling Interests:         The Company allocates net income of the Operating Partnership based on the weighted average ownership interest during the period. The net income of the Operating Partnership that is not attributable to the Company is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations as noncontrolling interests. The Company adjusts the noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership at the end of each period to reflect its ownership interest in the Company. The Company had a 92% ownership interest in the Operating Partnership as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. The remaining 8% limited partnership interest as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was owned by certain of the Company's executive officers and directors, certain of their affiliates, and other third party investors in the form of OP Units. The OP Units may be redeemed for shares of stock or cash, at the Company's option. The redemption value for each OP Unit as of any balance sheet date is the amount equal to the average of the closing price per share of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange for the ten trading days ending on the respective balance sheet date. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the aggregate redemption value of the then-outstanding OP Units not owned by the Company was $638,253 and $554,341, respectively.         The Company issued common and preferred units of MACWH, LP in April 2005 in connection with the acquisition of the Wilmorite portfolio. The common and preferred units of MACWH, LP are redeemable at the election of the holder, the Company may redeem them for cash or shares of the Company's stock at the Company's option and they are classified as permanent equity.         Included in permanent equity are outside ownership interests in various consolidated joint ventures. The joint ventures do not have rights that require the Company to redeem the ownership interests in either cash or stock.         The outside ownership interests in the Company's joint venture in Shoppingtown Mall had a purchase option for $11,366. In addition, under certain conditions as defined by the partnership agreement, these partners had the right to "put" their partnership interests to the Company. Due to the redemption feature of the ownership interest in Shoppingtown Mall, these noncontrolling interests were included in temporary equity as redeemable noncontrolling interests. The Company exercised its right to redeem the outside ownership interests in the partnership for cash and the redemption closed on September 14, 2011. The Company disposed of Shoppingtown Mall on December 30, 2011.
