Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: Basis of Presentation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm. On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-02, “Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis,” which made certain changes to both the variable interest model and the voting model, including changes to (1) the identification of variable interests (fees paid to a decision maker or service provider), (2) the variable interest entity ("VIE") characteristics for a limited partnership or similar entity and (3) the primary beneficiary determination. The Company evaluated the new standard and determined that no change was required to its accounting for variable interest entities. However, under the guidance of the new standard, all of the Company's consolidated joint ventures, including the Operating Partnership, now meet the definition and criteria as VIEs and the Company is the primary beneficiary of each VIE. The Company's sole significant asset is its investment in the Operating Partnership and as a result, substantially all of the Company's assets and liabilities represent the assets and liabilities of the Operating Partnership. In addition the Operating Partnership has investments in a number of VIEs. The VIEs included the following assets and liabilities:
| March 31, 2016 |  | December 31, 2015
Assets: |  |  |
Properties, net | $ | 360,666 |  |  | $ | 362,129 |
Other assets | 76,202 |  |  | 74,075 |
Total assets | $ | 436,868 |  |  | $ | 436,204 |
Liabilities: |  |  |
Mortgage notes payable | $ | 138,130 |  |  | $ | 139,767 |
Other liabilities | 81,932 |  |  | 79,984 |
Total liabilities | $ | 220,062 |  |  | $ | 219,751 |
All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements for the interim periods have been made. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 has been derived from the audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue From Contracts With Customers,” which outlines a comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 states that “an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.” While ASU 2014-09 specifically references contracts with customers, it may apply to certain other transactions such as the sale of real estate or equipment. In July 2015, the FASB voted to defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. Accordingly, ASU 2014-09 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted beginning January 1, 2017. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs,” which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected. The Company's adoption of ASU 2015-03 on January 1, 2016 resulted in an adjustment of its consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2015 to reflect the new presentation required by the standard. In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, "Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments," which requires adjustments to provisional amounts used in business combinations during the measurement period to be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. It also requires the disclosure of the impact on changes in estimates on earnings, depreciation, amortization and other income effects. The Company's adoption of this standard on January 1, 2016 did not have an impact on its consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)," which requires lessees to record operating and financing leases as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and lessors to expense costs that are not initial direct leasing costs. ASU 2016-02 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, "Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718)," which amends the accounting for share-based payments, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2017. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
