Related Party Transactions [Abstract] |
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS | RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS In connection with the separation, the Company and Vornado entered into a transition services agreement under which Vornado provided transition services to the Company including human resources, information technology, risk management, tax services and office space and support. The fees charged to us by Vornado for those transition services approximated the actual cost incurred by Vornado in providing such services. On June 28, 2016, the Company executed an amendment to the transition services agreement, extending Vornado’s provision of information technology, risk management services and the portion of the human resources service related to health and benefits through July 31, 2018, unless terminated earlier. Fees for these services remain the same except that they may be adjusted for inflation. As of September 30, 2016 there were no amounts due to Vornado related to such services. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, there was $0.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively, of costs paid to Vornado included in general and administrative expenses, which consisted of $0.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively, of rent expense for two of our office locations and $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of transition services fees. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, there were $0.4 million and $1.5 million, respectively, of costs paid to Vornado included in general and administrative expenses, which consisted of $0.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively, of transition services fees and $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, of rent expense for two of our office locations.

(NYSE:ALX). Interstate is a general partnership that owns retail properties in which Steven Roth, Chairman of Vornado’s Board and Chief Executive Officer of Vornado, and a member of our Board of Trustees, is the managing general partner. Interstate and its partners beneficially owned an aggregate of approximately 7.1% of the common shares of beneficial interest of Vornado as of September 30, 2016. As of, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, Vornado owned 32.4% of Alexander’s, Inc.
