Equity Method Investments And Joint Ventures [Abstract] |
Summary of Financial Position of Real Estate Ventures | The following is a summary of the financial position of the Real Estate Ventures as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 (in thousands):
| March 31, 2016 |  |  | December 31, 2015 |
Net property | $ | 1,483,966 |  |  | $ | 1,258,999 |

Other liabilities |  | 155,678 |  |  |  | 68,028 |
Debt, net |  | 981,126 |  |  |  | 794,571 |
Equity |  | 584,872 |  |  |  | 554,072 |
Company’s share of equity (Company’s basis) (a) (b) | $ | 278,659 |  |  | $ | 241,004 |
(a) | This amount includes the effect of the basis difference between the Company's historical cost basis and the basis recorded at the Real Estate Venture level, which is typically amortized over the life of the related assets and liabilities. Basis differentials occur from the impairment of investments, purchases of third party interests in existing Real Estate Ventures and upon the transfer of assets that were previously owned by the Company into a Real Estate Venture. In addition, certain acquisition, transaction and other costs may not be reflected in the net assets at the Real Estate Venture level.
(b) | Does not include the negative investment balance in one real estate venture totaling $1.1 million as of December 31, 2015, which is included in other liabilities. There is no negative investment balance as of March 31, 2016 because the Company sold its entire remaining 50% interest in the applicable real estate venture (See “Coppell Associates” section below) during the three months ended March 31, 2016.
