Assets Measured on Nonrecurring Basis

Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at December 31, 2020 aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy in which those measurements fall, are as follows (in thousands):

	Quoted Prices in
	Active Markets for		Significant
	Identical		Other		Significant
	Assets		Observable		Unobservable
	and Liabilities		Inputs		Inputs				Total Gains
	(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)		Fair Value		(Losses) (1)
Property (2)			$	47,746	$	—	$	47,746	$	(12,686)
Total	$	—	$	47,746	$	—	$	47,746	$	(12,686)

(1) Total gains (losses) presented in this table relate to assets that were held by us at December 31, 2020; however, we have subsequently sold one of these centers.

(2) In accordance with our policy of evaluating and recording impairments on the disposal of long-lived assets, property with a carrying amount $60.4 million was written down to a fair value of $47.7 million, resulting in a loss of $12.7 million, which was included in earnings for the fourth quarter of 2020. Management’s estimate of fair value of these properties were determined using bona fide purchase offers for the Level 2 inputs.

Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at December 31, 2019 aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy in which those measurements fall, are as follows (in thousands):

	Quoted Prices in
	Active Markets for		Significant
	Identical		Other		Significant
	Assets		Observable		Unobservable
	and Liabilities		Inputs		Inputs				Total Gains
	(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)		Fair Value		(Losses) (1)

Total	$	—	$	1,830	$	24,154	$	25,984	$	(3,070)

(1) Total gains (losses) presented in this table relate to assets that were held by us at December 31, 2019.

(2) In accordance with our policy of evaluating and recording impairments on the disposal of investments in real estate joint ventures and partnerships, investments with a carrying amount of $29.1 million were written down to a fair value of $26.0 million, resulting in a loss of $3.1 million, which was included in earnings for the fourth quarter of 2019. Management’s estimate of fair value of these investments were determined using a bona fide purchase offer for the Level 2 inputs, and see the quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used for our Level 3 fair value measurements in the table below.
