16. Commitments and Contingencies

        As of November 30, 2013, Griffin had committed purchase obligations of approximately $9,200, principally for the construction of Griffin Land's approximately 303,000 square foot industrial building in the Lehigh Valley region of Pennsylvania and the development of other Griffin properties.

        Griffin is involved, as a defendant, in various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, based on the advice of legal counsel, the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to these matters is not expected to be material, individually or in the aggregate, to Griffin's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
