Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES In determining quarterly provisions for income taxes, the Company calculates income tax expense based on actual year-to-date income and statutory tax rates. The year-to-date income tax expense also reflects the Company's assessment of potential exposure for uncertain tax positions. The fluctuations between periods in the Company's income tax expense are mainly due to varying levels of income as well as amounts attributable to foreign sourced income and noncontrolling interests. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, KW Group generated pretax book income of $33.4 million related to its global operations, and recorded a tax provision of $2.1 million. The difference between the U.S. federal rate of 35% and the Company's effective rate is primarily attributable to income earned by noncontrolling interests which is generally not subject to corporate taxes. In addition, the Company's effective tax rate was favorably impacted by capital gains realized from the sale of real estate in the United Kingdom and Ireland, the majority of which was not subject to corporate taxes. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Company also reversed valuation allowance as new evidence indicates that it is more likely than not certain net operating losses in the United Kingdom will be realizable. The Company has subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Luxembourg, Spain and Jersey which manage the Company's European real estate investments. The Company also has subsidiaries that operate a hotel businesses in Ireland and Scotland. As of September 30, 2016, two of the Company's subsidiaries in Ireland had positive, accumulated earnings of $5.7 million. U.S. domestic taxes have not been provided on amounts earned by the Company's Irish subsidiaries as the Company plans to indefinitely reinvest amounts earned by these subsidiaries. If these earnings were repatriated to the United States, additional U.S. domestic taxes of $1.3 million would be incurred.
