Noncontrolling Interest Items [Abstract]

The Company consolidates various ventures that are involved in the ownership and/or development of real estate. The partner’s share of the entity, in cases where the entity’s documents do not contain a required redemption clause, is reflected in a separate line item called nonredeemable noncontrolling interests within equity in the balance sheets. Correspondingly, the partner’s share of income or loss is recorded in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the statements of comprehensive income.

Other consolidated ventures contain provisions requiring the Company to purchase the partners’ share of the venture at a certain value upon demand or at a future prescribed date. In these situations, the partner’s share of the entity is recognized as redeemable noncontrolling interests and is presented between liabilities and equity in the balance sheets, with the corresponding share of income or loss in the venture recorded in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the statements of comprehensive income. The redemption values are evaluated each period and adjusted within equity to the higher of fair value or the partner’s cost basis. One of these ventures, The Avenue Collierville, sold its underlying assets in 2012. Two of these ventures with redemption options sold their underlying assets, King Mill Distribution Park – Building 3 and Jefferson Mill Business Park — Building A, in 2011 (see note 9). In conjunction with these sales, the pro rata share of the sales proceeds was distributed to each of the noncontrolling partners.
