Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
Fair Value Measurements | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The FASB's fair value measurements and disclosure guidance requires the valuation of certain of the Company's financial assets and liabilities, based on a three-level fair value hierarchy. Market value assumptions obtained from sources independent of the Company are observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy, and the Company's own assumptions about market value assumptions are unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy. The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2014:
(dollars in thousands) | Level 1 |  | Level 2 |  | Level 3
Assets |  |  |  |  |
Derivative financial instruments (Note 7) | $ | — |  |  | $ | 1,076 |  |  | $ | — |
Liabilities |  |  |  |  |
Derivative financial instruments (Note 7) | $ | — |  |  | $ | 2,618 |  |  | $ | — |
In addition to items that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company also has assets and liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. As these assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis, they are not included in the table above. Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations (Note 4). Financial Instruments Certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities meet the definition of financial instruments. Except as disclosed below, the carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair values. The Company has determined the estimated fair values of the following financial instruments within Level 2 of the hierarchy by discounting future cash flows utilizing a discount rate equivalent to the rate at which similar financial instruments would be originated at the reporting date:
(dollars in thousands) | September 30, 2014 |  | December 31, 2013
| Carrying Amount |  | Estimated Fair Value |  | Carrying Amount |  | Estimated Fair Value
Notes Receivable and Preferred Equity Investments | $ | 94,409 |  |  | $ | 94,409 |  |  | $ | 126,656 |  |  | $ | 126,656 |
Mortgage, Convertible Notes and Other Notes Payable | $ | 1,141,066 |  |  | $ | 1,155,499 |  |  | $ | 1,039,997 |  |  | $ | 1,056,457 |
