	Organization and Basis of Presentation
	Organization
	We are a real estate investment trust, or REIT, that owns, manages, acquires, develops and redevelops shopping centers and retail properties located primarily in supply constrained suburban and urban communities. We were organized as a Maryland corporation in 1992, completed our initial public offering in May 1998, and have elected to be taxed as a REIT since 1995.
	As of September 30, 2014, our consolidated shopping center portfolio comprised 126 properties, including 107 retail properties and four non-retail properties totaling approximately 13.8 million square feet of gross leasable area, or GLA, nine development or redevelopment properties with approximately 1.6 million square feet of GLA upon completion, and six land parcels. As of September 30, 2014, our consolidated shopping center occupancy was 94.4% and included national, regional and local tenants. Additionally, we had joint venture interests in 18 retail properties and two office buildings totaling approximately 3.2 million square feet of GLA.
	Basis of Presentation
	The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Equity One, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and those other entities in which we have a controlling financial interest, including where we have been determined to be a primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity ("VIE") in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC"). Equity One, Inc. and its subsidiaries are hereinafter referred to as "the consolidated companies," the "Company," "we," "our," "us" or similar terms. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior-period data have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Certain operations have been classified as discontinued, and the associated results of operations and financial position are separately reported for all periods presented. Information in these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise noted, does not include the accounts of discontinued operations.
	The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report are unaudited. In our opinion, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year.
	Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions of Form 10-Q. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not contain certain information included in our annual financial statements and notes. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 was derived from audited financial statements included in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K but does not include all disclosures required under GAAP. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 3, 2014.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	'
	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Concentration of Credit Risk
	A concentration of credit risk arises in our business when a national or regionally-based tenant occupies a substantial amount of space in multiple properties owned by us. In that event, if the tenant suffers a significant downturn in its business, it may become unable to make its contractual rent payments to us, exposing us to potential losses in rental revenue, expense recoveries, and percentage rent. Further, the impact may be magnified if the tenant is renting space in multiple locations. Generally, we do not obtain security from our national or regionally-based tenants in support of their lease obligations to us. We regularly monitor our tenant base to assess potential concentrations of credit risk. As of September 30, 2014, our largest tenant is comprised of a related group of grocers, which includes Albertsons, Shaw's, and Star Market and accounted for approximately 512,956 square feet, or approximately 3.4%, of our GLA and approximately $9.4 million, or 3.7%, of our annual minimum rent. As of September 30, 2014, we had outstanding receivables from Albertsons, Shaw's, and Star Market of approximately $26,000.
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2013-04, "Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)." ASU No. 2013-04 requires an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date, as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. ASU No. 2013-04 also requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation as well as other information about those obligations. ASU No. 2013-04 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, after December 15, 2013. The adoption and implementation of this ASU did not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, "Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)." ASU No. 2013-11 provides explicit guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists and is intended to eliminate diversity in practice. ASU No. 2013-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption and implementation of this ASU did not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
	In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” ASU No. 2014-08 amends the definition of discontinued operations by limiting discontinued operations reporting to disposals of components of an entity that represent strategic shifts that have (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results. The amendments require expanded disclosures for discontinued operations that would provide users of financial statements with more information about the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of discontinued operations and disclosure of the pretax profit or loss of individually significant components of an entity that do not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. ASU No. 2014-08 is to be applied prospectively to all disposals (or classifications as held for sale) of components of an entity and all businesses or nonprofit activities that, on acquisition, are classified as held for sale that occur within fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. We elected to early adopt the provisions of ASU No. 2014-08 beginning January 1, 2014. The adoption and implementation of this ASU resulted in the operations of certain current period dispositions being classified within continuing operations in our condensed consolidated statements of income. The adoption did not have an impact on our financial position or cash flows. The disclosures required by this ASU have been incorporated in the notes included herein.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." ASU No. 2014-09 clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue and develops a common revenue standard for GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") that removes inconsistencies and weaknesses in revenue requirements, provides a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues, improves comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets, provides more useful information to users of financial statements through improved disclosure requirements and simplifies the preparation of financial statements by reducing the number of requirements to which an entity must refer. ASU No. 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Companies can choose to apply the ASU using either the full retrospective approach or a modified retrospective approach. We are currently evaluating both methods of adoption and the impact, if any, that the adoption of this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements.
	In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, "Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)." ASU No. 2014-12 requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. ASU No. 2014-12 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. The amendments can be applied either prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date or retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards. We expect to apply the ASU prospectively and do not expect the adoption to have an impact on our consolidated financial statements as our existing share-based payment awards do not fall within the scope of this ASU.
	In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, "Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern." ASU No. 2014-15 provides guidance in GAAP about management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. ASU No. 2014-15 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016 with earlier adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

		$	108,435
	During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we did not recognize any material measurement period adjustments related to prior or current year acquisitions.
	In conjunction with the acquisitions of Westwood Shopping Center, Westwood Center II, and the West Roxbury land parcel, we entered into reverse Section 1031 like-kind exchange agreements with a third party intermediary, which, for a maximum of 180 days, allow us to defer for tax purposes, gains on the sale of other properties identified and sold within this period. Until the earlier of the termination of the exchange agreements or 180 days after the respective acquisition dates, the third party intermediary is the legal owner of the entities which own these properties; however, we control the activities that most significantly impact each property and retain all of the economic benefits and risks associated with each property. Therefore, at the date of acquisition, we determined that we were the primary beneficiary of these VIEs and consolidated the properties and their operations as of their acquisition date. Legal ownership of Westwood Shopping Center, Westwood Center II and the West Roxbury land parcel was transferred to us by the third party intermediary during the third quarter of 2014.
	During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we expensed transaction-related costs in connection with completed or pending property acquisitions of approximately $122,000 and $1.6 million, respectively, and $650,000 and $1.4 million for the same periods in 2013, respectively, which are included in general and administrative costs in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

	(1) The results of operations for these properties are included in continuing operations in the condensed consolidated statements of income for all periods presented.
	(2) Prior to the sale of the property, we acquired the noncontrolling partners' interests in the partnership that owned the property.
	(3) The property was encumbered by a $6.5 million mortgage loan which matured on July 1, 2013. In conjunction with the sale of the property, the lender accepted the proceeds from the sale as full repayment of the loan.
	As part of our strategy to upgrade and diversify our portfolio and recycle our capital, we have sold or are in the process of selling certain non-core properties and will continue to evaluate opportunities to sell certain additional non-core properties located primarily in the southeastern United States and north and central Florida. Although we have not committed to a disposition plan with respect to certain of these assets, we may consider disposing of such properties if pricing is deemed to be favorable. If the market values of these assets are below their carrying values, it is possible that the disposition of these assets could result in impairments or other losses. Depending on the prevailing market conditions and historical carrying values, these impairments and losses could be material.
	Upon the adoption of ASU No. 2014-08 on January 1, 2014, operations of properties held for sale and operating properties sold during the current period that were not previously classified as held for sale and/or reported as discontinued operations are reported in continuing operations as they do not represent a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on our operations and financial results. Prior to the adoption of ASU No. 2014-08, we reported the operations and financial results of properties held for sale and operating properties sold as discontinued operations.
	The results of operations for fourteen of the properties sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and three properties classified as held for sale in 2014 in our Southeast region (Boulevard, Crossing and Country Club Plaza) are included in continuing operations in the condensed consolidated statements of income for all periods presented as they do not qualify as discontinued operations under the amended guidance. In October 2014, we closed on the sale of the three properties classified as held for sale noted above, which had an aggregate net book value of $10.8 million as of September 30, 2014, for a gross sales price of $12.3 million.
	Discontinued Operations
	The results of operations for two of the properties sold (Stanley Marketplace and Oak Hill) and one property in our South Florida region (Summerlin Square) classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2013, are presented as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of income for all periods presented as they were classified as held for sale prior to the adoption of ASU No. 2014-08. Subsequent to September 30, 2014, we closed on the sale of Summerlin Square, which had a net book value of $6.0 million, for a gross sales price of $6.4 million.
	During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we sold twenty-six properties and three outparcels in our Southeast, South Florida, North Florida and West Coast regions for an aggregate sales price of $236.2 million. The results of operations for these properties are presented as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

	(1) All unconsolidated joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method except for the Madison 2260 Realty LLC and Madison 1235 Realty LLC joint ventures, which are accounted for under the cost method.
	(2) The investment balance as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 is presented net of deferred gains of $3.3 million for both periods associated with the disposition of assets by us to the joint venture.
	(3) We purchased our joint venture partners' interests in January 2014 and now own 100% of this entity. Prior to our acquisition, our effective interest was 48% when considering the 5% noncontrolling interest held by Vestar Development Company.
	(4) Our effective interest is 48% when considering the 5% noncontrolling interest held by Vestar Development Company. As described below, the property held by the joint venture was sold in January 2014.
	(5) On July 2, 2014, we entered into an agreement with our joint venture partner in which both parties agreed to dissolve the joint venture and distribute the property in kind to the existing members at the current ownership percentages. Accordingly, the Parnassus Heights Medical Center is held as a tenancy-in-common, and we will continue to account for our ownership interest under the equity method.
	(6) The investment balance as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 is presented net of a deferred gain of approximately $376,000 for both periods associated with the disposition of assets by us to the joint venture.
	Equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures totaled $789,000 and $10.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, and totaled $716,000 and $1.8 million for the same periods in 2013, respectively. Management fees and leasing fees earned by us associated with these joint ventures, which are included in management and leasing services revenue in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income, totaled $635,000 and $1.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, and $587,000 and $1.5 million for the same periods in 2013, respectively.
	As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the aggregate carrying amount of the debt of our unconsolidated joint ventures accounted for under the equity method was $255.6 million and $286.0 million, respectively, of which our aggregate proportionate share was $56.5 million and $72.5 million, respectively.
	In January 2014, we acquired Rockwood Capital's and Vestar Development Company's interests in Talega Village Center JV, LLC, the owner of Talega Village Center, a 102,000 square foot grocery-anchored shopping center located in San Clemente, California, for an additional investment of $6.2 million. Immediately prior to acquisition, we remeasured the fair value of our equity interest in the joint venture using a discounted cash flow analysis and recognized a gain of $2.8 million, including $561,000 attributable to a noncontrolling interest, which is included in other income in our condensed consolidated statement of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
	In January 2014, the property held by Vernola Marketplace JV, LLC was sold for $49.0 million, including the assumption of the existing mortgage of $22.9 million by the buyer. In connection with the sale, the joint venture recognized a gain of $14.7 million, of which our proportionate share was $7.4 million, including $1.6 million attributable to the noncontrolling interest, and we received distributions totaling $13.7 million, including $1.9 million that was distributed to the noncontrolling interest. The remaining investment balance as of September 30, 2014 represents our interest in the remaining cash held by the joint venture.
	In August 2014, Equity One JV Portfolio, LLC acquired a newly constructed 34,000 square foot retail center in Windermere, Florida for a gross purchase price of $13.0 million. The center is adjacent to a shopping center that the joint venture acquired from the same developer in December 2013. The purchase price was funded through partner contributions, of which our proportionate share was $2.0 million, and a $6.5 million mortgage loan, which bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 1.35% and matures in December 2023. In connection with the transaction, the joint venture entered into an interest rate swap which converts the mortgage loan to a fixed interest rate, providing an effective fixed interest rate under the loan of 3.82% per annum, and designated the swap as a qualifying cash flow hedge.

	Our consolidated operating properties as of June 30, 2014, March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 included various Westwood Complex parcels that were owned at the time by various subsidiaries of a Section 1031 like-kind exchange intermediary. The agreements that governed the operation of these entities provided us with the power to direct the activities that most significantly impacted the entities' economic performance. The entities were deemed VIEs primarily because they did not have sufficient equity at risk to finance their activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. Additionally, we determined that the equity investors did not possess the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. Therefore, we concluded that we were the primary beneficiary of the VIEs as a result of our having the power to direct the activities that most significantly impacted their economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses, as well as the right to receive benefits, that could be potentially significant to the VIEs. Legal ownership of these entities was transferred to us by the qualified intermediary during the first and third quarters of 2014, and, as such, these entities are no longer considered VIEs.
	The majority of the operations of these VIEs were funded with cash flows generated from the properties. We did not provide financial support to any of these VIEs that we were not previously contractually required to provide; our contractual commitments consisted primarily of funding any capital expenditures, including tenant improvements, which were deemed necessary to continue to operate the entities and any operating cash shortfalls that the entities may have experienced.

	Loans Receivable
	In October 2012, we purchased a $95.0 million mortgage loan secured by the Westwood Complex, a 22-acre site located in Bethesda, Maryland that consists of 214,767 square feet of retail space, a 211,020 square foot apartment building, and a 62-unit assisted living facility. The loan bore interest at 5.0% per annum and had a stated maturity date of January 15, 2014. Concurrent with the loan transaction, we also entered into a purchase contract to acquire the complex for an aggregate purchase price of $140.0 million. The purchase contract contemplated closing dates for the various parcels that comprise the complex that were the earlier of January 15, 2014 or upon the seller's identification of a property (or properties) which it could purchase with the proceeds from the sale of the parcels. To the extent that the closing dates under the purchase contract occurred prior to January 15, 2014, the parties agreed that the applicable portions of the mortgage loan collateralized by such parcels would be repaid on the respective closing dates. Based on our initial assessment of the structure of the transaction, we determined that the entities that owned the parcels within the complex that we had yet to legally acquire were VIEs and that we were not the primary beneficiary of these entities as we did not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impacted their economic performance.
	In March 2013, we also funded a $12.0 million mezzanine loan to an entity that indirectly owned a portion of the Westwood Complex. The loan was secured by the entity's indirect ownership interests in the complex, bore interest at 5.0% per annum, and was scheduled to mature on the earlier of June 1, 2013 or our acquisition of certain parcels comprising the complex pursuant to the aforementioned purchase contract. During May 2013, the loan agreement was amended to extend the maturity date to the earlier of January 15, 2014 or our acquisition of the parcels indirectly securing the mezzanine loan. We determined that the borrower was a VIE and that we held a variable interest in the entity through our investment in the loan; however, we concluded that we were not the primary beneficiary of the entity because we did not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impacted its economic performance.
	As of December 31, 2013, five of the seven parcels that comprise the Westwood Complex had been acquired. In connection with the acquisitions, $40.7 million of the $95.0 million mortgage loan and $5.8 million of the $12.0 million mezzanine loan were repaid by the respective borrowers and the entities holding these parcels were no longer considered VIEs.
	In January 2014, we acquired the two remaining parcels that comprise the Westwood Complex for an aggregate gross purchase price of $80.0 million. Concurrent with the acquisitions, the outstanding principal balance of the $95.0 million mortgage loan and the $12.0 million mezzanine loan were repaid in full by the respective borrowers, and the entities holding these parcels were no longer considered VIEs. The aggregate gross purchase price was funded by proceeds from the loan repayments as well as an additional $19.5 million cash investment, thereby bringing our total investment in the Westwood Complex to $140.0 million.

	Mortgage Notes Payable
	As of September 30, 2014, the weighted average interest rate of our fixed rate mortgage notes payable was 5.94%.
	In connection with the acquisition of our joint venture partners' interests in Talega Village Center during January 2014, we assumed a mortgage loan with a principal balance of $11.4 million. The loan bears interest at 5.01% per annum and has a stated maturity date of October 1, 2036; however, both we and the lender have the right to accelerate the maturity date of the loan to October 1, 2021, October 1, 2026 or October 1, 2031.
	During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we prepaid mortgage loans totaling $22.5 million, which bore a weighted average interest rate of 6.10%.
	Included in mortgage notes payable as of December 31, 2013 is a mortgage note payable related to Brawley Commons, a property located in Charlotte, North Carolina. The property was encumbered by a $6.5 million mortgage loan which matured on July 1, 2013 and remained unpaid as of December 31, 2013. In February 2014, we sold the property to a third party for $5.5 million and the lender accepted this amount as full repayment of the loan, resulting in the recognition of a net gain on extinguishment of debt of $882,000.
	Unsecured Senior Notes
	As of September 30, 2014, the weighted average interest rate of our unsecured senior notes was 5.02%.
	Unsecured Revolving Credit Facilities
	Our primary credit facility is with a syndicate of banks and provides $575.0 million of unsecured revolving credit. As of September 30, 2014, we had no drawn balance against the facility. As of December 31, 2013, we had drawn $91.0 million against the facility, which bore interest at a rate of 1.30% per annum. The facility also includes a facility fee applicable to the lending commitments thereunder, which fee was 0.25% per annum as of September 30, 2014. The facility expires on September 30, 2015, with a one year extension at our option, subject to certain conditions.
	We also have a $5.0 million unsecured credit facility, for which there was no drawn balance as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The facility bears interest at the one month LIBOR index rate plus 1.25% per annum and was due to expire on November 7, 2014. In October 2014, the term of the facility was extended for 90 days and will expire on February 7, 2015.
	As of September 30, 2014, giving effect to the financial covenants applicable to these credit facilities, the maximum available to us thereunder was approximately $452.6 million, net of outstanding letters of credit with an aggregate face amount of $2.6 million.
	Term Loan and Interest Rate Swaps
	At times, we use derivative instruments, including interest rate swaps, to manage our exposure to variable interest rate risk. In this regard, we enter into derivative instruments that qualify as cash flow hedges and do not enter into such instruments for speculative purposes. As of September 30, 2014, we had three interest rate swaps which convert the LIBOR rate applicable to our $250.0 million term loan to a fixed interest rate, providing an effective fixed interest rate under the loan agreement of 3.17% per annum. The swaps are designated and qualified as cash flow hedges and have been recorded at fair value. The swap agreements mature on February 13, 2019, which is the maturity date of the term loan. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the fair value of our interest rate swaps was an asset of $1.7 million and $2.9 million, respectively, which is included in other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The effective portion of changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps associated with our cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and is subsequently reclassified into interest expense as interest is incurred on the related variable rate debt. Within the next 12 months, we expect to reclassify $3.1 million as an increase to interest expense.

	Income Taxes
	We elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 1995. It is our intention to adhere to the organizational and operational requirements to maintain our REIT status. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to corporate level federal income tax, provided that distributions to our stockholders equal at least the amount of our REIT taxable income as defined under the Code. We are required to pay U.S. federal and state income taxes on our net taxable income, if any, from the activities conducted by our taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRSs"), which include IRT Capital Corporation II ("IRT"), DIM Vastgoed, N.V. ("DIM"), Southeast US Holdings, B.V. and C&C Delaware, Inc. Accordingly, the only provision for federal income taxes in our condensed consolidated financial statements relates to our consolidated TRSs.
	Although DIM is organized under the laws of the Netherlands, it pays U.S. corporate income tax based on its operations in the United States. Pursuant to the tax treaty between the U.S. and the Netherlands, DIM is entitled to the avoidance of double taxation on its U.S. income. Thus, it pays virtually no taxes in the Netherlands. As of September 30, 2014, DIM had federal and state net operating loss carry forwards of $4.8 million and $2.2 million, respectively, which begin to expire in 2027. As of September 30, 2014, IRT had federal and state net operating loss carry forwards of $1.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively, which begin to expire in 2030.
	We believe that we have appropriate support for the tax positions taken on our tax returns and that our accruals for the tax liabilities are adequate for all years still subject to tax audit, which include all years after 2010.

	In September 2014, we completed an underwritten public offering and concurrent private placement totaling 4.5 million shares of our common stock at a price to the public and in the private placement of $23.30 per share. In the concurrent private placement, 675,000 shares were purchased by Gazit First Generation LLC, an affiliate of our largest stockholder, Gazit-Globe, Ltd., which may be deemed to be controlled by Chaim Katzman, the Chairman of our Board of Directors. As of September 30, 2014, the underwriters held an option to purchase up to 573,750 shares of our common stock, which ultimately went unexercised. The offerings generated net proceeds to us of approximately $104.6 million before expenses. The stock issuance costs and underwriting discounts were approximately $561,000.

	Employment Related Agreements
	Jeffrey Olson
	In March 2014, Jeffrey Olson, our former Chief Executive Officer, informed us that he would not be renewing his employment agreement which was set to expire on December 31, 2014. On June 2, 2014, we entered into a Separation of Employment Agreement with Mr. Olson which resulted in a modification of the terms of his outstanding equity awards such that 58,240 shares of restricted stock that were scheduled to vest on December 31, 2014 vested on August 29, 2014 and the post-employment window in which Mr. Olson can exercise his vested stock options was extended from three months to six months. In addition, the service and market conditions related to Mr. Olson's long-term incentive plan award ("LTIP") that was scheduled to vest on December 31, 2014 were modified such that the award was scheduled to vest on August 29, 2014. However, as none of the market conditions were ultimately met, no shares vested in connection with the LTIP.
	The modification of Mr. Olson’s stock options resulted in additional compensation expense of $232,000, as determined using a Black-Scholes-Merton model, which was recognized on the modification date as the options had previously vested. As a result of Mr. Olson’s separation and the related modification of the vesting conditions associated with his restricted stock and LTIP awards, all compensation expense previously recognized in relation to these awards (excluding the value of dividends previously paid on such awards) was reversed. The value of the modified restricted stock, as determined by the fair value of our common stock as of the modification date, and the fair value of the modified LTIP, as determined using a Monte Carlo simulation, were recognized from the modification date through August 29, 2014. The modifications resulted in the recognition of $1.5 million in compensation expense and a net reversal of $170,000 in compensation expense associated with these awards during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.
	David Lukes
	On April 2, 2014, we entered into an employment agreement with David Lukes, our Chief Executive Officer, which became effective as of May 12, 2014 and has an initial term which ends on May 12, 2018. Mr. Lukes' employment agreement provides for an annual base salary of $850,000 and other benefits generally made available to our senior executive officers. In addition, Mr. Lukes is eligible for a target performance bonus of 100% of his base salary, except that with respect to the 2014 calendar year, Mr. Lukes will receive an annual bonus of no less than $850,000 reduced pro rata based on the portion of calendar year 2014 during which Mr. Lukes was not employed by the Company. Bonuses will be payable 50% in cash and 50% in shares of our restricted stock which will vest ratably over three years. Mr. Lukes also received a signing bonus of $500,000, which is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statement of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Mr. Lukes will repay the signing bonus in full in the event he resigns without good reason or is terminated for cause within 12 months of the commencement of his employment.
	Upon the commencement of his employment, Mr. Lukes received 200,000 stock options with an exercise price of $22.87 per share that will vest ratably on the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date. In addition, Mr. Lukes received 68,956 shares of restricted stock that will vest ratably on the second, third, and fourth anniversaries of the grant date and a LTIP, under which Mr. Lukes' target award is 156,300 shares of our common stock. The number of shares of stock that will ultimately be issued under the LTIP is based on our performance during the four-year period beginning on the date of Mr. Lukes' employment. The performance metrics (and their weightings) are based on our absolute total shareholder return ("Absolute TSR") (25%), total shareholder return relative to specified peer companies ("Relative TSR") (25%) and growth in recurring funds from operations per share ("Recurring FFO Growth") (25%). The remaining 25% of Mr. Lukes' award is discretionary. For each of these four components, Mr. Lukes can earn 50%, 100% or 200% of the 39,075 target shares allocated to such component based on the actual performance compared to specified targets. Shares earned pursuant to the LTIP will be issued following the completion of the four-year performance period, subject to Mr. Lukes' continued employment through the end of such period.
	The Absolute TSR and Relative TSR components of Mr. Lukes’ LTIP are considered market-based awards. Accordingly, the probability of meeting the market criteria was considered when calculating the estimated fair value of the awards on the date of grant using Monte Carlo simulations. Furthermore, compensation expense associated with these awards will be recognized over the requisite service period as long as the requisite service is provided, regardless of whether the market criteria are achieved and the awards are ultimately earned. The significant assumptions used to value these awards include the volatility of our common stock (24.3%), the volatility of the common stock of various peer companies (which ranged from 13.7% to 28.6%), and the risk-free interest rate (1.3%). The aggregate estimated fair value of these components of Mr. Lukes’ LTIP was $1.5 million, which will be recognized over the four-year performance period.
	The Recurring FFO Growth component of Mr. Lukes’ LTIP is considered a performance-based award which is earned subject to future performance measurement. The award was valued at $19.51 per share based on the fair value of our common stock at the date of grant less the present value of the dividends expected to be paid on our common stock during the requisite service period. Compensation expense will be recognized over the requisite service period based on management’s periodic estimate of the likelihood that the performance criteria will be met.
	Chaim Katzman
	On June 2, 2014, we entered into a Chairman Compensation Agreement with Chaim Katzman, our Chairman of the Board, which will replace Mr. Katzman’s existing Chairman Compensation Agreement with the Company following the expiration of its term on December 31, 2014. The initial term of the new Chairman Compensation Agreement ends December 31, 2017. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Katzman will receive 255,000 shares of restricted stock that will vest as follows: (i) 7,095 shares on January 31, 2015; and (ii) 7,083 shares on the last day of each calendar month beginning February 2015 and ending December 2017. The award was valued at $22.24 per share based on the fair value of our common stock at the date of grant less the present value of the dividends expected to be paid on our common stock during the period from the date of grant to January 2, 2015, at which time Mr. Katzman’s restricted stock will be entitled to receive dividends. Compensation expense related to the award will be recognized over the period from June 2014 through December 2017.
	Thomas Caputo
	On June 25, 2014, we entered into a new employment agreement with Thomas Caputo, our President, which is effective as of January 1, 2015 immediately following the expiration of the current term of Mr. Caputo’s existing employment agreement with the Company and ends on December 31, 2016. Mr. Caputo's new employment agreement provides for an annual base salary of $750,000 and other benefits generally made available to our senior executive officers. In addition, Mr. Caputo will be eligible for a target performance bonus of 100% of his base salary that will be payable in cash. Pursuant to the agreement, on January 1, 2015, we will grant to Mr. Caputo $1.0 million in shares of our restricted common stock (valued by the Compensation Committee on the date of grant based on the average closing price of a share of our common stock during the 10 trading days immediately preceding the grant date), which shares will fully vest on December 31, 2016 subject to Mr. Caputo then being employed by the Company.
	Michael Makinen
	On June 25, 2014, we entered into an employment agreement with Michael Makinen to serve as our Chief Operating Officer. The agreement became effective as of July 15, 2014, and the initial term ends on July 15, 2018. Mr. Makinen's employment agreement provides for an annual base salary of $400,000 and other benefits generally made available to our senior executive officers. In addition, Mr. Makinen is eligible for a target performance bonus of $300,000, except that with respect to the 2014 calendar year, Mr. Makinen will receive an annual bonus of no less than $300,000 reduced pro rata based on the portion of calendar year 2014 during which Mr. Makinen was not employed by the Company. Bonuses will be payable 50% in cash and 50% in shares of our restricted stock which will vest ratably over three years.
	Upon the commencement of his employment, Mr. Makinen received 5,000 shares of restricted stock that will vest in equal portions on the first and second anniversaries of the grant date and a LTIP, under which Mr. Makinen's target award is 25,685 shares of our common stock. The number of shares of stock that will ultimately be awarded is based on our performance during the four-year period beginning on the date of Mr. Makinen's employment. Shares earned pursuant to the LTIP will be issued following the completion of the four-year performance period, subject to Mr. Makinen's continued employment through the end of such period.
	Mr. Makinen's LTIP award shares the same performance metrics and weightings as Mr. Lukes' LTIP award described above. The significant assumptions used to value the Absolute TSR and Relative TSR components of Mr. Makinen’s LTIP include the volatility of our common stock (23.1%), the volatility of the common stock of various peer companies (which ranged from 14.1% to 25.7%), and the risk-free interest rate (1.3%). The aggregate estimated fair value of these components was $253,000, which will be recognized over the four-year performance period. The Recurring FFO Growth component of Mr. Makinen's LTIP was valued at $20.68 per share based on the fair value of our common stock at the date of grant less the present value of the dividends expected to be paid on our common stock during the requisite service period. Compensation expense for the Recurring FFO Growth component will be recognized over the requisite service period based on management’s periodic estimate of the likelihood that the performance criteria will be met.
	Amended and Restated 2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
	In 2004, we adopted an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) in order to provide a convenient means by which eligible employees could purchase shares of our common stock on a quarterly basis through payroll deductions and voluntary cash investments. The original ESPP terminated on March 31, 2014 pursuant to its own terms. Accordingly, our board of directors adopted an amended and restated ESPP which was approved by our stockholders at our May 2014 annual meeting. Under the amended and restated ESPP, the quarterly purchase price per share paid by employees is 85% of the average closing price per share of our common stock on the five trading days that immediately precede the last trading day of the quarter, provided, however, that in no event may the purchase price be less than the lower of (i) 85% of the closing price on the first trading day of the quarter or (ii) 85% of the closing price on the last trading day of the quarter. Shares purchased under the amended and restated ESPP are subject to a six-month holding requirement, subject to exceptions for hardship.

Segment Reporting	'
	Segment Reporting
	We review operating and financial data for each property on an individual basis; therefore each of our individual properties is a separate operating segment. We have historically aggregated our operating segments in six reportable segments based primarily upon our method of internal reporting which classifies our operations by geographical area. Although we are evaluating the potential impact, if any, that our organizational changes announced in June 2014 may have on our segment reporting in future periods, we have continued to present our reportable segments by geographical area, which are as follows: (1) South Florida - including Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties; (2) North Florida - including all of Florida north of Palm Beach County; (3) Southeast - including Georgia, Louisiana, North Carolina and Virginia; (4) Northeast - including Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts and New York; (5) West Coast - California; and (6) Non-retail - which is comprised of our non-retail assets.
	We assess a segment’s performance based on net operating income (“NOI”). NOI excludes interest and other income, acquisition costs, general and administrative expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, gain (loss) on sale of real estate, gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt, equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures, income tax benefit (provision) from taxable REIT subsidiaries, amortization of deferred financing fees, impairments, and income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests. NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is income from continuing operations before tax and discontinued operations, which, to calculate NOI, is adjusted to add back depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expense, interest expense, amortization of deferred financing fees and impairments, and to exclude straight-line rent adjustments, accretion of below market lease intangibles (net), revenue earned from management and leasing services, investment income, equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures, gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt and other income. NOI includes management fee expense recorded at each operating segment based on a percentage of revenue which is eliminated in consolidation. We use NOI internally as a performance measure and believe NOI provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because it reflects only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level. Therefore, we believe NOI is a useful measure for evaluating the operating performance of our real estate assets. NOI presented by us may not be comparable to NOI reported by other REITs that define NOI differently. We believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of our operating results, NOI should be examined in conjunction with income from continuing operations before tax and discontinued operations as presented in our condensed consolidated financial statements. NOI should not be considered as an alternative to net income attributable to Equity One as an indication of our performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity or our ability to make distributions. We consider NOI to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it helps both investors and management understand the core operations of our properties.
	The following table sets forth the financial information relating to our continuing operations presented by segments and includes a reconciliation of NOI to income from continuing operations before tax and discontinued operations, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure:

	Commitments and Contingencies
	As of September 30, 2014, we had provided letters of credit having an aggregate face amount of $2.6 million as additional security for financial and other obligations.
	As of September 30, 2014, we have invested an aggregate of approximately $81.2 million in active development or redevelopment projects at various stages of completion and anticipate that these projects will require an additional $52.5 million to complete, based on our current plans and estimates, which we anticipate will be expended over the next two years. These obligations, comprised principally of construction contracts, are generally due as the work is performed and are expected to be financed by funds available under our credit facilities, proceeds from property dispositions and available cash.
	We are subject to litigation in the normal course of business; however, we do not believe that any of the litigation outstanding as of September 30, 2014 will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

	Environmental Matters
	We are subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations. The operation of dry cleaning and gas station facilities at our shopping centers are the principal environmental concerns. We require that the tenants who operate these facilities do so in material compliance with current laws and regulations and we have established procedures to monitor dry cleaning operations. Where available, we have applied and been accepted into state sponsored environmental programs. Several properties in the portfolio will require or are currently undergoing varying levels of environmental remediation. We have environmental insurance policies covering most of our properties which limits our exposure to some of these conditions, although these policies are subject to limitations and environmental conditions known at the time of acquisition are typically excluded from coverage. Management believes that the ultimate disposition of currently known environmental matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

	Recurring Fair Value Measurements
	As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had three interest rate swap agreements with a notional amount of $250.0 million that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the fair value of our interest rate swaps was an asset of $1.7 million and $2.9 million, which is included in other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The net unrealized gain (loss) on our interest rate swaps was $1.0 million and $(3.7) million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, and is included in accumulated other comprehensive income. The fair values of the interest rate swaps are based on the estimated amounts we would receive or pay to terminate the contracts at the reporting date and are determined using interest rate pricing models and observable inputs. The interest rate swaps are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.
	The following are assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:
		Fair Value Measurements
	Assets:	Total			Level 1			Level 2			Level 3

	December 31, 2013
	Interest rate derivatives:
	Classified as an asset in other assets	$	2,944		$	—		$	2,944		$	—
	Valuation Methods
	The fair values of our interest rate swaps were determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of the derivative financial instrument. This analysis reflected the contractual terms of the derivative, including the period to maturity, and used observable market-based inputs, including interest rate market data and implied volatilities in such interest rates. While it was determined that the majority of the inputs used to value the derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy under authoritative accounting guidance, the credit valuation adjustments associated with the derivatives also utilized Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default. However, as of September 30, 2014, the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of the derivative financial instruments was assessed and it was determined that these adjustments were not significant to the overall valuation of the derivative financial instruments. As a result, it was determined that the derivative financial instruments in their entirety should be classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The net unrealized gain (loss) included in other comprehensive income was attributable to the net change in unrealized gains related to the interest rate swaps that remained outstanding as of September 30, 2014, none of which were reported in the condensed consolidated statements of income because they were documented and qualified as hedging instruments.
	Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements
	The following table presents our hierarchy for those assets measured and recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of September 30, 2014:

	(1) Total losses exclude impairments of $4.3 million recognized related to properties sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, primarily based on sales contracts.
	(2) Represents the fair value of operating properties as of the date they were impaired during the second quarter of 2014. As of September 30, 2014, the carrying amounts of the properties no longer equaled their fair values.
	The following table presents our hierarchy for those assets measured and recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of December 31, 2013:
	Assets:		Total			Level 1			Level 2			Level 3			Total Losses(1)
			(In thousands)

	Total		$	16,875		$	—		$	3,875		$	13,000		$	6,804
	____________________________________________
	(1) Total losses are for the full year ended December 31, 2013 and exclude impairments related to properties sold during the year.
	(2) $5.4 million of the total represents the fair value of an operating property as of the date it was impaired during the third quarter of 2013. As of December 31, 2013, the carrying amount of the property no longer equaled its fair value.
	On a non-recurring basis, we evaluate the carrying value of investment property and investments in and advances to unconsolidated joint ventures when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Impairments, if any, result primarily from values established by Level 3 valuations. The carrying value is considered impaired when the total projected undiscounted cash flows from such asset is separately identifiable and is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset as determined by purchase price offers or by discounted cash flows using the income or market approach. These cash flows are comprised of unobservable inputs which include contractual rental revenue and forecasted rental revenue and expenses based upon market conditions and expectations for growth. Capitalization rates and discount rates utilized in these models are based upon observable rates that we believe to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for the respective properties. Based on these inputs, we determined that the valuations of these investment properties and investments in unconsolidated joint ventures are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
	The following are ranges of key inputs used in determining the fair value of income producing properties measured using Level 3 inputs:
		September 30, 2014			December 31, 2013
		Low		High	Low		High
	Overall capitalization rates	10.00%		15.00%	12.50%		15.50%
	Discount rates	12.00%		14.50%	10.00%		13.50%
	Terminal capitalization rates	11.00%		13.50%	12.50%		12.50%
	During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recognized $9.6 million of impairment losses on two operating properties located in the Southeast region considered an asset group and one operating property located in the North Florida region. The operating properties located in the Southeast region were impaired due to the increased financial uncertainties surrounding a dark anchor tenant and the reconsideration of our anticipated holding period for the assets. The operating property in the North Florida region was impaired due to the loss of an anchor tenant and the re-leasing of such space at lower rents, as well as the reconsideration of our anticipated holding period for the asset. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we recognized $2.4 million of impairment losses on operating properties located in the Southeast region. The estimated fair values related to the impairment assessments were primarily based on discounted cash flow analyses and, therefore, are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
	During the year ended December 31, 2013, we recognized an impairment loss of $1.3 million on a property held for sale located in the Southeast region. The estimated fair value related to the impairment assessment was based upon the expected sales price as determined by an executed contract and, therefore, is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we did not recognize impairment losses on properties held for sale.
	During the year ended December 31, 2013, we recognized impairment losses of $3.1 million on land parcels located in the Southeast and West Coast regions. The estimated fair values related to the impairment assessments were based on appraisals and, therefore, are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we did not recognize impairment losses on development properties held for use.

	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	The estimated fair values of financial instruments have been determined by us using available market information and appropriate valuation methods. Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that we could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. We have used the following market assumptions and/or estimation methods:
	Cash and Cash Equivalents, Accounts and Other Receivables, Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses and Unsecured Revolving Credit Facilities (classified within Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the valuation hierarchy) – The carrying amounts reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for these financial instruments approximate fair value because of their short maturities.
	Loans Receivable (classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy) – The carrying value of the loans receivable of $60.7 million as of December 31, 2013 approximated fair value due to their short maturities.
	Mortgage Notes Payable (classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy) – The fair value estimated as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was approximately $436.9 million and $461.5 million, respectively, calculated based on the net present value of payments over the term of the loans using estimated market rates for similar mortgage loans and remaining terms. The carrying amount (principal and unaccreted premium) of these notes, including notes associated with properties held for sale, was $412.0 million and $438.0 million as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
	Unsecured Senior Notes Payable (classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy) – The fair value estimated as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was approximately $777.4 million and $762.6 million, respectively, calculated based on the net present value of payments over the terms of the notes using estimated market rates for similar notes and remaining terms. The carrying amount (principal net of unamortized discount) of these notes was $729.7 million and $729.4 million as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
	Term Loan (classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy) – The fair value estimated as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was approximately $256.5 million and $248.7 million, respectively, calculated based on the net present value of payments over the term of the loan using estimated market rates for similar notes and remaining terms. The carrying amount of this loan was $250.0 million as of both September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
	The fair market value calculations of our debt as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 include assumptions as to the effects that prevailing market conditions would have on existing secured or unsecured debt. The calculations use a market rate spread over the risk-free interest rate. This spread is determined by using the remaining life to maturity coupled with loan-to-value considerations of the respective debt. Once determined, this market rate is used to discount the remaining debt service payments in an attempt to reflect the present value of this stream of cash flows. While the determination of the appropriate market rate is subjective in nature, recent market data gathered suggest that the composite rates used for mortgages, senior notes and term loans are consistent with current market trends.
	Interest Rate Swap Agreements (classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy) – As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the fair value of our interest rate swaps was an asset of $1.7 million and $2.9 million, respectively, which is included in other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note 18 above for a discussion of the method used to value the interest rate swaps.
	Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests (classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy) – The carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interests was $989,000 as of December 31, 2013, which approximated fair value as determined by discounted cash flow analyses.

Subsequent Events	'
	Subsequent Events
	Pursuant to the Subsequent Events Topic of the FASB ASC, we have evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after our September 30, 2014 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet date for potential recognition or disclosure in our condensed consolidated financial statements and have also included such events in the footnotes herein.
	On November 10, 2014, we executed a contract for the sale of a property located in the Northeast region which has a net book value of $18.6 million and is encumbered by a $6.7 million mortgage loan that matures in 2024. The sale is subject to a number of significant contingencies, including the requirement that we obtain lender consent to a potential buyer’s assumption of the loan. We concluded that our carrying value of the property was recoverable as of September 30, 2014 based on our projected undiscounted cash flows from the property, which considered the probability of sale. However, if circumstances change which increase the probability of sale, we anticipate that we would recognize an impairment loss of $9.8 million.
	Subsequent to September 30, 2014, two properties located in the Southeast region, which had an aggregate net book value of $6.4 million, met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. We expect to realize a loss of approximately $194,000 in connection with the sale of one of the properties which we anticipate will close during the fourth quarter of 2014. Additionally, we have one property in our North Florida region, which had a net book value of $5.4 million as of September 30, 2014, under contract for an estimated gross sales price of $5.1 million. The contract is in due diligence, and the property did not meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale. If the property is ultimately sold pursuant to the contract, we anticipate that we would recognize a loss of approximately $598,000.
	In October 2014, we prepaid a mortgage loan of $21.0 million which bore interest at 5.20%.

	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2013-04, "Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)." ASU No. 2013-04 requires an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date, as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. ASU No. 2013-04 also requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation as well as other information about those obligations. ASU No. 2013-04 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, after December 15, 2013. The adoption and implementation of this ASU did not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, "Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)." ASU No. 2013-11 provides explicit guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists and is intended to eliminate diversity in practice. ASU No. 2013-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption and implementation of this ASU did not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
	In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” ASU No. 2014-08 amends the definition of discontinued operations by limiting discontinued operations reporting to disposals of components of an entity that represent strategic shifts that have (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results. The amendments require expanded disclosures for discontinued operations that would provide users of financial statements with more information about the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of discontinued operations and disclosure of the pretax profit or loss of individually significant components of an entity that do not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. ASU No. 2014-08 is to be applied prospectively to all disposals (or classifications as held for sale) of components of an entity and all businesses or nonprofit activities that, on acquisition, are classified as held for sale that occur within fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. We elected to early adopt the provisions of ASU No. 2014-08 beginning January 1, 2014. The adoption and implementation of this ASU resulted in the operations of certain current period dispositions being classified within continuing operations in our condensed consolidated statements of income. The adoption did not have an impact on our financial position or cash flows. The disclosures required by this ASU have been incorporated in the notes included herein.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." ASU No. 2014-09 clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue and develops a common revenue standard for GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") that removes inconsistencies and weaknesses in revenue requirements, provides a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues, improves comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets, provides more useful information to users of financial statements through improved disclosure requirements and simplifies the preparation of financial statements by reducing the number of requirements to which an entity must refer. ASU No. 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Companies can choose to apply the ASU using either the full retrospective approach or a modified retrospective approach. We are currently evaluating both methods of adoption and the impact, if any, that the adoption of this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements.
	In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, "Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)." ASU No. 2014-12 requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. ASU No. 2014-12 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. The amendments can be applied either prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date or retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards. We expect to apply the ASU prospectively and do not expect the adoption to have an impact on our consolidated financial statements as our existing share-based payment awards do not fall within the scope of this ASU.
	In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, "Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern." ASU No. 2014-15 provides guidance in GAAP about management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. ASU No. 2014-15 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016 with earlier adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates	'
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentration of Credit Risk	'
	Concentration of Credit Risk
	A concentration of credit risk arises in our business when a national or regionally-based tenant occupies a substantial amount of space in multiple properties owned by us. In that event, if the tenant suffers a significant downturn in its business, it may become unable to make its contractual rent payments to us, exposing us to potential losses in rental revenue, expense recoveries, and percentage rent. Further, the impact may be magnified if the tenant is renting space in multiple locations. Generally, we do not obtain security from our national or regionally-based tenants in support of their lease obligations to us. We regularly monitor our tenant base to assess potential concentrations of credit risk. As of September 30, 2014, our largest tenant is comprised of a related group of grocers, which includes Albertsons, Shaw's, and Star Market and accounted for approximately 512,956 square feet, or approximately 3.4%, of our GLA and approximately $9.4 million, or 3.7%, of our annual minimum rent. As of September 30, 2014, we had outstanding receivables from Albertsons, Shaw's, and Star Market of approximately $26,000.
