Asset Impairment Charges [Abstract] |
Impairment Charges and Reserves on Assets or Investments | The Company recorded impairment charges and reserves 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, |
| 2017 |  |  | 2016 |  |  | 2015 |
Assets marketed for sale(A) | $ | 325.4 |  |  | $ | 110.9 |  |  | $ | 179.7 |
Undeveloped land previously held for development(B) |  | 15.1 |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | 99.3 |
Total continuing operations | $ | 340.5 |  |  | $ | 110.9 |  |  | $ | 279.0 |
Reserve of preferred equity interests(C) |  | 61.0 |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |
Joint venture investments |  | — |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | 1.9 |
Total impairment charges | $ | 401.5 |  |  | $ | 110.9 |  |  | $ | 280.9 |
(A) | The Company recorded impairment charges triggered by changes in its strategic plan that impacted its asset hold-period assumptions and/or expected future cash flows. During 2015, management accelerated the Company’s then in place portfolio quality improvement initiative, which it intended to accomplish in part through the disposition of less strategic assets and undeveloped land. The disposition initiative triggered the recording of impairment charges on 25 operating shopping centers. In 2016, the Company’s management and Board of Directors decided to increase the volume of asset sales beyond the level contemplated in 2015 primarily to accelerate progress on its deleveraging goal. As a result, the decision to accelerate sales triggered the recording of impairment charges on 20 operating shopping centers that management identified as short-term disposition candidates. During 2017, impairments were triggered related to changes in asset hold-period assumptions and/or expected future cash flows primarily in conjunction with the Company’s change in executive management team and strategic direction. This change triggered the recording of impairment charges on 27 operating shopping centers in both the United States and Puerto Rico.
(B) | Amounts recorded primarily were related to land previously held for future development. In 2017, the impairment was triggered primarily by an indicative bid. In 2015, the impairments were triggered primarily by the decision made by the Company’s senior management to sell the land and no longer consider development alternatives.
(C) | As a result of an aggregate valuation allowance on its preferred equity interests in the BRE DDR Joint Ventures (Note 2).
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, 2017, 2016 and 2015. The table also indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques used by the Company to determine such fair value (in millions).

(C) | Vacant space in certain assets was valued based on a price per square foot.
