Impairment Charges on Assets or Investments | The Company recorded impairment charges based on the difference between the carrying value of the assets or investments and the estimated fair market value as follows (in millions):
| For the Year Ended December 31, |
| 2014 |  |  | 2013 |  |  | 2012 |
Land held for development(A) | $ | 13.2 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 10.1 |
Undeveloped land(B) |  | 5.4 |  |  |  | 3.0 |  |  |  | 20.1 |
Assets marketed for sale(B) |  | 10.6 |  |  |  | 16.0 |  |  |  | 16.6 |
Total continuing operations | $ | 29.2 |  |  | $ | 19.0 |  |  | $ | 46.8 |
Sold assets or assets held for sale – discontinued operations |  | 8.9 |  |  |  | 53.6 |  |  |  | 79.7 |
Joint venture investments(C) |  | 30.7 |  |  |  | 1.0 |  |  |  | 26.7 |
Total impairment charges | $ | 68.8 |  |  | $ | 73.6 |  |  | $ | 153.2 |
(A) | Amounts reported in the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2012, primarily related to land held for development in Canada that was owned through a consolidated joint venture. The asset impairments were triggered primarily by the Company’s decision to sell the land.
(B) | The impairment charges were triggered primarily due to the Company’s marketing of these assets for sale and management’s assessment of the likelihood and timing of one or more potential transactions.
(C) | Represents “other than temporary impairment” charges on unconsolidated joint venture investments. Amount recorded in 2014 represents a charge on a joint venture development project in Canada. The impairment primarily was triggered as a result of a major retailer’s change in its strategy to exit the Canadian market, as well as changes in the timing of the project and development assumptions. In 2012, the charges primarily related to the investment in the Coventry II DDR Montgomery Farm LLC joint venture in which the Company sold its interest in 2012.
Impairment Charges Measured at Fair Value on Non-Recurring Basis | The following table presents information about the Company’s impairment charges on both financial and nonfinancial assets that were measured on a fair value basis for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012. The table also indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques used by the Company to determine such fair value (in millions).
