Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Information by Business Segment | Information by Business Segment Effective in the quarter ended December 31, 2015, we changed the reportable segments that we use to review operating results and make decisions regarding segment performance and resource allocation. Given the changes in our portfolio resulting from development, acquisition and disposition activities, we made this change to better align our segments with our business strategy by contemplating the market characteristics of our properties. Our new segment reporting includes the following segments: Defense/IT Locations; Regional Office; our operating wholesale data center; and other. Our segment reporting also includes reporting for Defense/IT Locations sub-segments, which include the following: Fort George G. Meade and the Baltimore/Washington Corridor (referred to herein as “Fort Meade/BW Corridor”); Northern Virginia Defense/IT Locations; Lackland Air Force Base (in San Antonio); locations serving the U.S. Navy ( “Navy Support Locations”), which included properties proximate to the Washington Navy Yard, the Naval Air Station Patuxent River in Maryland and the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division in Virginia); Redstone Arsenal (in Huntsville); Colorado Defense/IT Locations; and data center shells (properties leased to tenants to be operated as data centers in which the tenants generally fund the costs for the power, fiber connectivity and data center infrastructure). The table below reports segment financial information for our reportable segments (in thousands). We measure the performance of our segments through the measure we define as NOI from real estate operations, which is derived by subtracting property operating expenses from revenues from real estate operations.

As previously discussed, we provide real estate services such as property management and construction and development services primarily for our properties but also for third parties. The primary manner in which we evaluate the operating performance of our service activities is through a measure we define as net operating income from service operations (“NOI from service operations”), which is based on the net of revenues and expenses from these activities. Construction contract and other service revenues and expenses consist primarily of subcontracted costs that are reimbursed to us by the customer along with a management fee. The operating margins from these activities are small relative to the revenue. We believe NOI from service operations is a useful measure in assessing both our level of activity and our profitability in conducting such operations. The table below sets forth the computation of our NOI from service operations (in thousands):
|  | For the Years Ended December 31,
|  | 2015 |  | 2014 |  | 2013
Construction contract and other service revenues |  | $ | 106,402 |  |  | $ | 106,748 |  |  | $ | 62,363 |

NOI from service operations |  | $ | 3,706 |  |  | $ | 6,690 |  |  | $ | 3,488 |
The following table reconciles our NOI from real estate operations for reportable segments and NOI from service operations to income from continuing operations as reported on our consolidated statements of operations (in thousands):

NOI from real estate operations |  | $ | 324,580 |  |  | $ | 299,912 |  |  | $ | 317,929 |

COPT consolidated income from continuing operations |  | $ | 120,675 |  |  | $ | 34,509 |  |  | $ | 36,836 |
The following table reconciles our segment assets to the consolidated total assets of COPT and subsidiaries (in thousands):
| As of December 31,
| 2015 |  | 2014
Segment assets | $ | 3,265,469 |  |  | $ | 2,951,495 |
Non-operating property assets | 450,679 |  |  | 567,586 |
Other assets | 193,164 |  |  | 145,155 |
Total COPT consolidated assets | $ | 3,909,312 |  |  | $ | 3,664,236 |
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those used to prepare our consolidated financial statements, except that discontinued operations are not presented separately for segment purposes. In the segment reporting presented above, we did not allocate interest expense, depreciation and amortization, impairment losses, loss on early extinguishment of debt and gain on sales of real estate to our real estate segments since they are not included in the measure of segment profit reviewed by management. We also did not allocate general and administrative expenses, business development expenses and land carry costs, interest and other income, equity in income of unconsolidated entities, income taxes and noncontrolling interests because these items represent general corporate or non-operating property items not attributable to segments.
