Leases

Lessee

The Company is engaged in the operation of shopping centers that are either owned or, with respect to certain shopping centers, operated under long-term ground leases that expire at various dates through 2070.  The Company also leases office space in the ordinary course of business under lease agreements that expire at various dates through 2029.  Certain of the lease agreements include variable payments for reimbursement of common area expenses.  The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception.  

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.  Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.  As most of the Company’s leases do not include an implicit rate, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date of the standard in determining the present value of lease payments.  For each lease, the Company utilized a market-based approach to estimate the incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”), which required significant judgment.  The Company estimated base IBRs based on an analysis of (i) yields on the Company’s outstanding public debt, as well as comparable companies, (ii) observable mortgage rates and (iii) unlevered property yields and discount rates.  The Company applied adjustments to the base IBRs to account for full collateralization and lease term.  Operating lease ROU assets also include any lease payments made.  The Company has options to extend certain of the ground and office leases; however, these options were not considered as part of the lease term when calculating the lease liability, as they were not reasonably certain to be exercised.  Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.  

Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as follows (in thousands):
