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 operations.

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 operations. The redemption values are evaluated each period and adjusted within equity to the higher of fair value or the partner’s cost basis.

The following table details the components of redeemable noncontrolling interests in consolidated subsidiaries for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands):

Beginning Balance	$	—	$	—
Net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests	—		68
