Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block] | FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company determined the fair values disclosed below using available market information and discounted cash flow analyses as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The discount rate used in calculating fair value is the sum of the current risk free rate and the risk premium on the date of measurement of the instruments or obligations. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and to develop the related estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize upon disposition. The use of different estimates and valuation methodologies may have a material effect on the fair value amounts shown. The Company believes that the carrying amounts reflected in the consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 approximate the fair values for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other assets (excluding notes receivable), accounts payable and accrued expenses. The following are financial instruments for which the Company’s estimates of fair value differ from the carrying amounts (in thousands):
| September 30, 2014 |  | December 31, 2013
| Carrying Amount |  | Fair Value |  | Carrying Amount |  | Fair Value
Unsecured notes payable | $ | 1,776,169 |  |  | $ | 1,848,107 |  |  | $ | 1,396,620 |  |  | $ | 1,471,041 |
Variable rate debt | $ | 278,610 |  |  | $ | 257,212 |  |  | $ | 528,610 |  |  | $ | 526,693 |
Mortgage notes payable | $ | 658,601 |  |  | $ | 691,022 |  |  | $ | 670,151 |  |  | $ | 715,244 |
Notes receivable | $ | 1,901 |  |  | $ | 3,517 |  |  | $ | 7,026 |  |  | $ | 7,759 |
The fair value of the Company's unsecured notes payable are categorized as Level 2 (as provided by the accounting standard for Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures), as these instruments are valued using quoted market prices as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The fair value of the variable rate debt was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis valuation on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and maturities, as applicable. The fair value of the mortgage debt was determined by discounting the future contractual interest and principal payments by a blended market rate for fully secured loans with similar terms and maturities. The weighted average discount rate for the combined variable rate debt and mortgage loans as of September 30, 2014 was 4.01%. The fair value of the notes receivable was estimated using the expected cash flows of the notes receivable, and discounting those cash flows using the market rate of interest for mortgage notes with a comparable level of risk. The Company used a discount rate of 14.66% for the notes receivable as of September 30, 2014. The Company applies its knowledge of the debt markets to determine appropriate discount rates to utilize in the discounted cash flow models. As these inputs are unobservable, the Company has categorized the valuation of mortgage notes payable, variable rate debt and notes receivable as Level 3 (as provided by the accounting standard for Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures). Disclosure about the fair value of financial instruments is based upon pertinent information available to management as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since September 30, 2014, and current estimates of fair value may differ from the amounts presented herein.
