Segment Reporting The Company disposed of its last remaining non-core asset, Worldgate Plaza, in 2017, which represented the conclusion of the Company's strategic shift away from a diversified portfolio of commercial real estate assets not classified as multi-tenant retail. All previously reported segments have been classified as discontinued operations as they represented a strategic shift that had a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results. The Company is now fully focused on investing in a multi-tenant retail platform. In addition, the Company's properties have similar characteristics, such as tenant type and economic performance, are all retail properties, and the Company does not distinguish its principal business or group its operations on a geographical basis for measuring performance. Accordingly, the Company believes it has a single reportable segment for disclosure purposes in accordance with GAAP.
