Line of credit facility, description			Amendment extended the maturity date of the Facility from August 27, 2019 to September 30, 2020, with a one-year extension option, at the option of the Company, subject to certain conditions. Availability under the Facility, through December 31, 2016, is limited to 70% of the value of the borrowing base properties, and is limited to 60% of the value of the borrowing base properties thereafter. The value of the borrowing base properties is determined by applying a 7.0% capitalization rate to the net operating income generated by the Company’s unencumbered, wholly-owned industrial properties. Borrowings under the Facility, up to the first 60% of the value of the borrowing base properties, will, at the Company’s election, either i) bear interest at LIBOR plus 140 basis points to 220 basis points, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio, or ii) bear interest at BMO’s prime lending rate plus 40 basis points to 120 basis points, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio. The Company’s current borrowings as of September 30, 2016 were less than 60% of the value of the borrowing base properties and based on the Company's leverage ratio as of September 30, 2016, borrowings under the Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 150 basis points which was at an interest rate of 2.03% as of September 30, 2016
