REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS [Abstract] |
REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS | NOTE 11 • REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS Redeemable noncontrolling interests on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets represent the noncontrolling interest in a joint venture of the Company in which the Company’s unaffiliated partner, at its election, could require the Company to buy its interest at a purchase price to be determined by an appraisal conducted in accordance with the terms of the agreement, or at a negotiated price. Redeemable noncontrolling interests are presented at the greater of their carrying amount or redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the value from period to period are charged to common shares of beneficial interest on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company currently has one joint venture, the Southgate apartment project in Minot, North Dakota, in which the Company’s joint venture partner can, for the four-year period from February 6, 2016 through February 5, 2020, compel the Company to acquire the partner’s interest, for a price to be determined in accordance with the provisions of the joint venture agreement. As of July 31, 2015 and 2014, the estimated redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests was $6.4 million and $6.3 million, respectively. Below is a table reflecting the activity of the redeemable noncontrolling interests.
