Leases [Abstract] |
Leases | 11. Leases As Lessor The Company implemented ASC Topic 842, Leases, effective January 1, 2019 (Note 1). As lessor, there were no accounting adjustments required, however, the presentation of the Company’s lease revenues in 2019 includes amounts previously reported as reimbursed expenses. There was no cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings required upon adoption of the new standard. In addition, the Company began expensing internal leasing costs, which have historically been capitalized. The Company is engaged in the operation of shopping centers and other retail properties that are either owned or, with respect to certain shopping centers, operated under long-term ground leases (see below) that expire at various dates through June 20, 2066, with renewal options. Space in the shopping centers is leased to tenants pursuant to agreements that provide for terms ranging generally from one month to sixty years and generally provide for additional rents based on certain operating expenses as well as tenants’ sales volumes. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company earned $13.3 million in variable lease revenues, primarily for real estate taxes and common area maintenance charges, which are included in lease revenues in the consolidated statements of income. As Lessee As lessee, upon implementation of ASC Topic 842, the Company recorded right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities of $11.9 million and $12.8 million, respectively, for nine existing operating leases (for ground, office and equipment leases) and $82.6 million and $76.6 million, respectively, for four finance leases related to ground rentals including an existing capital lease which represented $77.0 million and $71.1 million, respectively, of the total. Three finance leases were recorded post-implementation upon assessment of triggering events whereby the Company’s cumulative leasehold investment made it reasonably certain that the Company would exercise its purchase options.

Lease Disclosures Related to Prior Periods The Company leased land at six of its shopping centers, which were accounted for as operating leases through December 31, 2018 and generally provide the Company with renewal options. Ground rent expense was $0.4 million (including capitalized ground rent at a property under development of $0.2 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The leases terminate at various dates between 2020 and 2066. These leases provide the Company with options to renew for additional terms aggregating up to 25 to 71 years. The Company also leases space for its corporate office. Office rent expense under this lease was $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. During 2016, the Company entered into a 49-year master lease, which was accounted for as a capital lease through December 31, 2018 and was later reclassified as a finance lease upon implementation of ASC 842 as described above. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, payments for this lease totaled $0.6 million. The property under the capital lease is included in Note 2. Lease Obligations The scheduled future minimum (i) rental revenues from rental properties under the terms of non-cancelable tenant leases greater than one year (assuming no new or renegotiated leases or option extensions for such premises) and (ii) rental payments under the terms of all non-cancelable operating and finance leases in which the Company is the lessee, principally for office space, land and equipment, as of March 31, 2019, are summarized as follows (in thousands):

A ground lease expiring during 2078 provides the Company with an option to purchase the underlying land during 2031. If the Company does not exercise the option, the rents that will be due are based on future values and as such are not determinable at this time. Accordingly, the above table does not include rents for this lease beyond 2031. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, no single tenant collectively comprised more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated total revenues.
