Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies	'
	Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Interim Financial Information
	The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X for interim financial information.  Accordingly, these statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with GAAP.  Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.  The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2012 and related notes thereto as filed on Form 10-K on February 21, 2013.
	Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company, its wholly-owned qualified REIT and taxable REIT subsidiaries, the operating partnership and its consolidated joint ventures, in which it has a controlling interest.  Third-party equity interests in the operating partnership and consolidated joint ventures are reflected as noncontrolling interests in the Consolidated Financial Statements.  We also have noncontrolling partnership interests in unconsolidated institutional capital management and other joint ventures, which are accounted for under the equity method.  All significant intercompany amounts have been eliminated.
	Principles of Consolidation
	We hold interests in both consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures.  All joint ventures over which we have financial and operating control, and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which we have determined that we are the primary beneficiary, are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements.  We use the equity method of accounting for joint ventures over which we do not have a controlling interest or where we do not exercise significant control over major operating and management decisions, but where we exercise significant influence and include our share of earnings or losses of these joint ventures in our consolidated net income (loss).
	We analyze our joint ventures in accordance with GAAP to determine whether they are VIEs and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary.  Our judgment with respect to our level of influence or control over an entity and whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE involves consideration of various factors including the form of our ownership interest, our representation on the entity’s board of directors, the size of our investment (including loans) and our ability to participate in major decisions.  Our ability to correctly assess our influence or control over an entity affects the presentation of these investments in the Consolidated Financial Statements and, consequently, our financial position and results of operations.
	Reclassifications
	Certain items in our Consolidated Financial Statements for 2012 have been reclassified to conform to the 2013 presentation.  Income statement amounts for properties disposed of or classified as held for sale have been reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented.
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Revenue Recognition
	We record rental revenues on a straight-line basis under which contractual rent increases are recognized evenly over the full lease term.  Certain properties have leases that provide for tenant occupancy during periods where no rent is due or where minimum rent payments change during the term of the lease.  Accordingly, we record receivables from tenants that we expect to collect over the remaining lease term rather than currently, which are recorded as a straight-line rent receivable.  When we acquire a property, the terms of existing leases are considered to commence as of the acquisition date for the purposes of this calculation.  The total increase to “Rental revenues” due to straight-line rent adjustments was approximately $1.1 million and $3.6 million, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, and approximately $1.3 million and $4.5 million, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.
	Tenant recovery income includes payments and amounts due from tenants pursuant to their leases for real estate taxes, insurance and other recoverable property operating expenses and is recognized as “Rental revenues” during the same period the related expenses are incurred.  Tenant recovery income recognized as “Rental revenues” was approximately $15.6 million and $45.9 million, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively and approximately $13.2 million and $36.5 million, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.
	We maintain an allowance for estimated losses that may result from the inability of our tenants to make required payments.  If a tenant fails to make contractual payments beyond any allowance, we may recognize additional bad debt expense in future periods equal to the net outstanding balances.  As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, our allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately $2.0 million and $1.3 million, respectively.
	In connection with property acquisitions qualifying as business combinations, we may acquire leases with rental rates above or below the market rental rates.  Such differences are recorded as an intangible lease asset or liability and amortized to “Rental revenues” over the reasonably assured term of the related leases.  The unamortized balances of these assets and liabilities associated with the early termination of leases are fully amortized to their respective revenue line items in our Consolidated Statements of Operations over the shorter of the expected life of such assets and liabilities or the remaining lease term.  The total net impact to “Rental revenues” due to the amortization of above and below market rents was an increase of approximately $0.4 million and $1.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, and approximately $0.2 million and $0.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.
	Early lease termination fees are recorded in “Rental revenues” on a straight-line basis over the estimated remaining contractual lease term or upon collection if collectability is not assured.   The total net impact to “Rental revenues” due to early lease termination fees was an increase of approximately $0.8 million and $1.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013,  respectively, and approximately $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.
	We earn revenues from asset management fees, acquisition fees, property management fees and fees for other services pursuant to joint venture and other agreements.  These are included in our Consolidated Statements of Operations in “Institutional capital management and other fees.”  We recognize revenues from asset management fees, acquisition fees, property management fees and fees for other services when the related fees are earned and are realized or realizable.
	New Accounting Standards
	In the first quarter of 2013 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued an accounting standard update that requires disclosure of the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) on the respective line items in net income if the amount is required under GAAP to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. Additionally, the update requires disclosure of changes in each component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”). The disclosure requirements were retroactively effective for us on January 1, 2013.  As this guidance only requires expanded disclosure, the adoption did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

	Acquisition Activity
	During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we acquired 23 buildings comprising 4.6 million square feet.  These properties located in the Southern California, Atlanta, Dallas, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Chicago, Phoenix, Charlotte, Seattle and Northern California markets were acquired for a total purchase price of approximately $220.7 million. Related to these acquisitions, we incurred acquisition costs of approximately $1.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, included in “General and administrative” in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we acquired 45.4 acres of land in Southern California, including 6.0 out parcel acres, for approximately $28.9 million that is leased as a non-industrial property and held for future development.
	Development Activity
	As of September 30, 2013, our properties under development include the following:
	·	One building totaling 0.6 million square feet that is currently in lease-up as shell construction activities have been completed.   The building is 66% leased with the lease expected to commence following the completion of tenant improvements in the first quarter of 2014.
	·	Eight projects under construction totaling 2.7 million square feet, of which 1.3 million square feet is 100% leased.
	·	We have entered into a contract to sell the 8th and Vineyard A project which is  a build-to-suit under construction; however, no profit has been recognized as the sale does not meet the requirements of profit recognition for accounting purposes.
	During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recognized development profits of approximately $0.3 million related to the Dulles Summit build-to-suit project, for which construction was completed during the second quarter.
	Disposition Activity
	During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we sold 19 operating properties totaling approximately 3.5 million square feet to third-parties in the Atlanta, Louisville, Memphis, Dallas and San Antonio markets, for combined gross proceeds of $113.4 million. We recognized gains of approximately $17.6 million on these dispositions.  During the same period, we recognized an impairment loss of approximately $13.3 million on a portfolio of 15 properties in Dallas which was classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2013.  See Note 12 – Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale and Note 13 – Subsequent Events for additional information.  These gains and impairment losses are reflected in “Income (loss) from discontinued operations” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.  The estimated fair values of other financial instruments subject to fair value disclosures were determined based on available market information and valuation methodologies appropriate for these purposes.  Considerable judgment and a high degree of subjectivity are involved in developing these estimates.  Our estimates may differ from the actual amounts that we could realize upon disposition.  The following table summarizes these financial instruments as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (in thousands):
		Balances as of						Balances as of

	Interest rate swap(3)	$	62		$	62		$	-		$	-
	-1	The fair values of our borrowings were estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology.  Credit spreads and market interest rates used to determine the fair value of these instruments are based on unobservable Level 3 inputs which management has determined to be its best estimate of current market values.
	-2	The carrying amount of our fixed rate debt includes premiums and discounts as a result of the difference between the fair value and face value of debt assumed in connection with our acquisition activities.
	-3	The fair value of our interest rate swap is determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash flows and the discounted expected variable cash flows based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from Level 2 observable market interest rate curves.  We also incorporate a credit valuation adjustment, which is derived using unobservable Level 3 inputs, to appropriately reflect both our nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurement.
	The following table displays a reconciliation of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  The table also displays gains and losses due to changes in fair value, including both realized and unrealized, recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for Level 3 assets and liabilities.  When assets and liabilities are transferred between levels, we recognize the transfer at the beginning of the period (in thousands):

	Hedging Activities
	To manage interest rate risk for variable rate debt and issuances of fixed rate debt, we primarily use treasury locks and interest rate swaps as part of our cash flow hedging strategy.  These derivatives are designed to mitigate the risk of future interest rate increases by providing a fixed interest rate for a limited, pre-determined period of time.  Such derivatives have been used to hedge the variability in existing and future interest expense associated with existing variable rate borrowings and forecasted issuances of debt, which may include the issuances of new debt, as well as refinancing of existing debt upon maturity.
	Accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative and the designation of the derivative, whether we have elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting.  Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges.  Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Derivatives may also be designated as hedges of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation.  Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge.
	For derivatives designated as “cash flow” hedges, the effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the derivative is initially reported in “Other comprehensive income (loss)” in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) (i.e., not included in earnings) and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings or the hedging relationship is no longer effective at which time the ineffective portion of the derivative’s changes in fair value is recognized directly into earnings.  We assess the effectiveness of each hedging relationship whenever financial statements are issued or earnings are reported and at least every three months.  We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
	During June 2013, certain of our consolidated ventures entered into two pay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swaps to hedge the variability of future cash flows attributable to changes in the 1 month LIBOR rates.  The first pay-fixed, receive-floating swap has a notional amount of $6.2 million, a fixed rate of 2.32%, an effective date of June 2013 and a maturity date of June 2023.  The second pay-fixed, receive-floating swap has a notional amount of $1.0 million, a fixed rate of 2.32%, an effective date of June 2013 and a maturity date of June 2023.  These interest rates swaps effectively fix the interest rate on the related debt instruments at 4.72%.  The associated counterparty of both swaps is Rabobank, N.A.  As of December 31, 2012, we did not have any hedges in place.
	The following table presents the effect of our derivative financial instruments on our accompanying financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 (amounts in thousands):
			Three Months Ended September 30,							Nine Months Ended September 30,

	Amount of loss recognized in interest expense due to missed forecast (ineffective portion and amount excluded from effectiveness testing)		$	-		$	22		$	-		$	677
	Amounts reported in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” related to derivatives will be amortized to “Interest expense” as interest payments are made on our current debt and anticipated debt issuances.  During the next 12 months, we estimate that approximately $4.2 million will be reclassified from “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” to “Interest expense” resulting in an increase in such expense.

Outstanding Indebtedness	'
	Note 6 – Outstanding Indebtedness
	As of September 30, 2013 our outstanding indebtedness of approximately $1.4 billion consisted of mortgage notes, senior unsecured notes, and a senior unsecured revolving credit facility, excluding approximately $44.4 million representing our proportionate share of non-recourse debt associated with unconsolidated joint ventures.  As of December 31, 2012, our outstanding indebtedness of approximately $1.5 billion consisted of mortgage notes, senior unsecured notes and a senior unsecured revolving credit facility, excluding approximately  $45.0 million representing our proportionate share of debt associated with unconsolidated joint ventures.
	As of September 30, 2013, the gross book value of our consolidated properties was approximately $3.7 billion and the gross book value of all properties securing our mortgage debt was approximately $0.7 billion.  As of December 31, 2012, the gross book value of our consolidated properties was approximately $3.4 billion and the gross book value of all properties securing our mortgage debt was approximately $0.7 billion.  Our debt has various covenants with which we were in compliance as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
	Debt Issuances
	During February 2013, DCT entered into an amendment with our syndicated bank group whereby we extended and increased our existing $175.0 million senior unsecured term loan to $225.0 million for a period of five years, extended our existing $300.0 million senior unsecured line of credit for a period of four years and received a commitment for an additional $175.0 million senior unsecured term loan with a term of two years.   We closed on the additional  $175.0 million in March 2013. The term loan amendment was a modification of debt for accounting purposes.
	During June 2013, we issued two secured mortgage notes with principal balances of $1.0 million and $6.2 million which mature in June 2023.  The notes bear interest at a variable rate, however, we have fixed the rate at 4.72% using two interest rate swaps (see Note 5 – Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities for further detail).  The notes require monthly payments of principal and interest.
	Debt Retirements
	During March 2013, we used proceeds from our senior unsecured term loan to repay a $175.0 million senior unsecured note that was scheduled to mature in June of 2013.
	During March and April 2013, we retired mortgage notes totaling $11.0 million previously scheduled to mature in April and June of 2013, using proceeds from the Company’s senior unsecured revolving credit facility and proceeds from our equity offerings.
	Line of Credit
	As of September 30, 2013, we had $52.0 million outstanding and $248.0 million available under the unsecured revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2012, we had $110.0 million outstanding and $190.0 million available under the unsecured revolving credit facility.

Noncontrolling Interests	'
	Note 7 – Noncontrolling Interests
	Noncontrolling interests are the portion of equity, or net assets, in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent.  Our noncontrolling interests primarily represent limited partnership interests in the operating partnership and equity interests held by third-party partners in consolidated real estate investments, including related parties as discussed in Note 9 – Related Party Transactions.  Noncontrolling interests representing interests in the operating partnership primarily include limited partnership interest in our operating partnership (“OP Units”) and LTIP Units which are classified as permanent equity and are included in “Noncontrolling interests” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
	The following table illustrates the noncontrolling interests’ share of consolidated net (income) loss during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands):
		Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended

	OP Units
	As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we owned approximately 94.5% and 93.3%, respectively, of the outstanding equity interests in the operating partnership.  Upon redemption by the unitholder, we have the option of redeeming the units of OP Units with cash or with shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment.
	During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, approximately 2.1 million OP Units were redeemed for approximately $0.9 million in cash and approximately 2.0 million shares of common stock.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, approximately 4.0 million OP Units were redeemed for approximately $2.8 million in cash and approximately 3.5 million shares of common stock.
	As of September 30, 2013, there was a total of approximately 17.4 million OP Units outstanding and redeemable, with a redemption value of approximately $125.1 million based on the closing price of our common stock on September 30, 2013.  As of December 31, 2012, there was a total of approximately 19.5 million OP Units outstanding with a redemption value of approximately $126.8 million based on the closing price of our common stock on December 31, 2012, all of which were redeemable for cash or stock, at our election.
	LTIP Units
	We may grant limited partnership interests in the operating partnership called LTIP Units.  LTIP Units, which we grant either as free-standing awards or together with other awards under the Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended, are valued by reference to the value of our common stock, and are subject to such conditions and restrictions as our compensation committee may determine, including continued employment or service, computation of financial metrics and achievement of pre-established performance goals and objectives.  LTIP Units typically vest ratably over a period of four to five years depending on the grant.  Vested LTIP Units can generally be converted to OP Units on a one-for-one basis.
	During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, approximately 0.7 million LTIP Units were granted to certain senior executives, which vest over a four year period with a total fair value of approximately  $4.6 million at the date of grant as determined by a lattice-binomial option-pricing model based on a Monte Carlo simulation using a volatility factor of 52% and a  risk-free interest rate of 0.84%. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, there were no conversions of vested LTIP Units into OP Units.  As of September 30, 2013, approximately 3.0 million LTIP Units were outstanding of which approximately 1.0 million were vested. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 we issued approximately 0.4 million LTIP Units for awards issued in connection with our multi-year outperformance program that ended December 31, 2012.
	During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, approximately 0.7 million LTIP Units were granted to certain senior executives, which vest over a four or five year period with a total fair value of approximately  $3.9 million at the date of grant as determined by a lattice-binomial option-pricing model based on a Monte Carlo simulation using a volatility factor of 72% and risk-free interest rates of 0.82% and 1.04%. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, approximately 0.2 million vested LTIP Units were converted into approximately 0.2 million OP Units. As of December 31, 2012, approximately 1.9 million LTIP Units were outstanding of which approximately 0.4 million were vested.

	Common Stock
	As of September 30, 2013, approximately 315.9 million shares of common stock were issued and outstanding.
	On May 29, 2013, we registered a third continuous equity offering program, to replace our continuous equity offering program previously registered on November 20, 2012.  Pursuant to this offering, we may sell up to 20 million shares of common stock from time-to-time through May 29, 2016 in “at-the-market” offerings or certain other transactions. We intend to use the proceeds from any sale of shares for general corporate purposes, which may include funding acquisitions and repaying debt. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we issued approximately 10.4 million shares through the second continuous equity offering program, at an average price of $7.33 per share for proceeds of $76.1 million before offering expenses. As of September 30, 2013, 20.0 million shares remain available to be issued under the current offering.
	On August 13, 2013, we issued 23.0 million shares of common stock in a public offering at a price of $7.20 per share for net proceeds of approximately $158.2 million after offering expenses.
	During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we issued approximately 2.0 million shares of common stock, related to the redemption of OP Units (see additional information in Note 7—Noncontrolling Interests) and approximately 0.2 million shares of common stock related to vested shares of restricted stock, phantom shares and stock option exercises.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we issued approximately 3.5 million shares of common stock related to the redemption of OP Units, and approximately 0.2 million shares of common stock related to vested shares of restricted stock, phantom shares and stock option exercises.  The net proceeds from the sales of our securities are transferred to our operating partnership for a number of OP Units equal to the shares of common stock sold in our public offerings.
	Equity-Based Compensation
	On October 10, 2006, we established the Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended, to grant restricted stock, stock options and other awards to our personnel and directors.  Awards granted under this plan are measured at fair value on the grant date and amortized to compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the service period during which the awards fully vest.  Such expense is included in “General and administrative” expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.  Options issued under the Long-Term Incentive Plan are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which relies on assumptions we make related to the expected term of the options, volatility, dividend yield and risk-free interest rate.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we did not grant any stock options.
	Multi-Year Outperformance Program
	During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 we issued approximately 0.4 million LTIP Units for awards issued in connection with our multi-year outperformance program that ended December 31, 2012.  Approximately 0.2 million LTIP units vested at the beginning of 2013 with the remaining units vesting on December 31, 2013 subject to service requirements.
	Restricted Stock
	Holders of restricted stock have voting rights and rights to receive dividends.  Restricted stock may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of and is subject to a risk of forfeiture prior to the expiration of the applicable vesting period.  The restricted stock fair value on the date of grant is amortized on a straight-line basis as stock-based compensation expense over the service period during which term the stock fully vests.  Restricted stock typically vests ratably over a period of four or five years, depending on the grant.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we granted approximately 0.3 million shares of restricted stock to certain officers and employees at the weighted-average fair market value of $7.13 per share.

	8th and Vineyard Consolidated Joint Venture
	In May 2010, we entered into the 8th and Vineyard joint venture with Iowa Investments, LLC, an entity owned by one of our executives, to purchase 19.3 acres of land held for development in Southern California.  Pursuant to the joint venture agreement, we will first receive a return of all capital along with a preferred return.  Thereafter, Iowa Investments, LLC will receive a return of all capital along with a promoted interest.  The land parcel acquired by 8th and Vineyard was purchased from an entity in which the same executive had a minority ownership.  The total acquisition price of $4.7 million was determined to be at fair value.
	Southern California Consolidated Ventures
	We entered into four agreements, two in December 2010 and two in January 2011, whereby we acquired a weighted average ownership interest, based on square feet, of approximately 48.4% in five bulk industrial buildings located in the Southern California market.  Entities controlled by one of our executives have a weighted average ownership in these properties of approximately 43.7%, based on square feet, and the remaining 7.9% ownership is held by a third- party.  Each venture partner will earn returns in accordance with their ownership interests.  DCT has controlling rights including management of the operations of the properties and we have consolidated the properties in accordance with GAAP and accounted for the transactions as business combinations.  The total acquisition price of $46.3 million was determined to be at fair value.

Earnings Per Share	'
	Note 10 – Earnings per Share
	We use the two-class method of computing earnings per common share which is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and any participating securities according to dividends declared (whether paid or unpaid) and participation rights in undistributed earnings.  Under the two-class method, earnings per common share are computed by dividing the sum of distributed earnings to common stockholders and undistributed earnings allocated to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.
	A participating security is defined by GAAP as an unvested share-based payment award containing non-forfeitable rights to dividends and must be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method.  Nonvested restricted stock and LTIP Units are considered participating securities as these share-based awards contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends irrespective of whether the awards ultimately vest or expire.
	The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

	The Company’s segments are based on our internal reporting of operating results used to assess performance based on our properties’ geographical markets.  Our markets are aggregated into three reportable regions or segments, East, Central and West, which are based on the geographical locations of our properties.   Management considers rental revenues and property net operating income aggregated by segment to be the appropriate way to analyze performance. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year results to conform to the current presentation related to discontinued operations (see Note 12 – Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale for additional information).
	The following table reflects our total assets, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization, by segment, as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (in thousands):

	(1) Property net operating income (“property NOI”) is defined as rental revenues, including reimbursements, less rental expenses and real estate taxes, which excludes institutional capital management fees, depreciation, amortization, casualty and involuntary conversion gains, impairment, general and administrative expenses, equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated joint ventures, interest expense, interest and other income (expense) and income tax benefit (expense) and other taxes.  We consider property NOI to be an appropriate supplemental performance measure because property NOI reflects the operating performance of our properties and excludes certain items that are not considered to be controllable in connection with the management of the property such as depreciation, amortization, impairment, general and administrative expenses and interest expense.  However, property NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our financial performance since it excludes expenses which could materially impact our results of operations.  Further, our property NOI may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies, as they may use different methodologies for calculating property NOI.  Therefore, we believe net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, as defined by GAAP, to be the most appropriate measure to evaluate our overall financial performance.
	Included in the Central operating segment were assets as of December 31, 2012 of approximately $74.2 million attributable to the Mexico operations.  As of September 30, 2013, the Mexico portfolio was under contract and included in held for sale assets (see Note 13 – Subsequent Events for additional information related to our Mexico portfolio).

Discontinued Operations And Assets Held For Sale	'
	Note 12 – Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale
	We report results of operations from real estate assets that meet the definition of a component of an entity and have been sold, or meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale, as discontinued operations.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we sold 19 operating properties, comprising 2.0 million square feet in the East operating segment and 1.5 million square feet in the Central operating segment to unrelated third-parties.  The sale of these properties resulted in gains of approximately $17.6 million.
	As of September 30, 2013, we classified one property in our West operating segment and 31 properties in our Central operating segment as held for sale.  The 31 assets in our Central operating segment include a property located in Chicago, a portfolio of 15 properties located in Mexico and a portfolio of 15 properties located in Dallas.  In October 2013, we completed the sale of the two portfolios (see Note 13 – Subsequent Events).  During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded an impairment charge of $13.3 million on the portfolio of 15 properties in Dallas as the assets’ carrying value exceeded their estimated fair value less costs to sell.  The estimated fair value of these properties was based upon the contracted sales price, a Level 2 fair value measurement.

Subsequent Events	'
	Note 13 – Subsequent Events
	GAAP requires an entity to disclose events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued (“subsequent events”) as well as the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events.  There are two types of subsequent events.  The first type consists of events or transactions that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing financial statements, (“recognized subsequent events”).  The second type consists of events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose subsequent to that date (“nonrecognized subsequent events”).  No significant recognized subsequent events were noted.
	In October 2013, we sold our entire portfolio of assets located in Mexico consisting of 15 properties totaling 1.7 million square feet for gross proceeds of $82.7 million.  The portfolio’s carrying value was $71.8 million as of September 30, 2013.
	In October 2013, we sold 15 operating properties totaling approximately 0.6 million square feet to third-parties in the Dallas market, for gross proceeds of $27.9 million.  The operating properties were classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2013 and a $13.3 million impairment was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
	In October 2013, the operating partnership issued $275.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50% senior notes due 2023 at 99.038% of face value in a private placement for net proceeds of approximately $269.6 million after offering costs.

Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Interim Financial Information	'
	Interim Financial Information
	The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X for interim financial information.  Accordingly, these statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with GAAP.  Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.  The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2012 and related notes thereto as filed on Form 10-K on February 21, 2013.
Basis Of Presentation	'
	Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company, its wholly-owned qualified REIT and taxable REIT subsidiaries, the operating partnership and its consolidated joint ventures, in which it has a controlling interest.  Third-party equity interests in the operating partnership and consolidated joint ventures are reflected as noncontrolling interests in the Consolidated Financial Statements.  We also have noncontrolling partnership interests in unconsolidated institutional capital management and other joint ventures, which are accounted for under the equity method.  All significant intercompany amounts have been eliminated.
Principles Of Consolidation	'
	Principles of Consolidation
	We hold interests in both consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures.  All joint ventures over which we have financial and operating control, and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which we have determined that we are the primary beneficiary, are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements.  We use the equity method of accounting for joint ventures over which we do not have a controlling interest or where we do not exercise significant control over major operating and management decisions, but where we exercise significant influence and include our share of earnings or losses of these joint ventures in our consolidated net income (loss).
	We analyze our joint ventures in accordance with GAAP to determine whether they are VIEs and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary.  Our judgment with respect to our level of influence or control over an entity and whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE involves consideration of various factors including the form of our ownership interest, our representation on the entity’s board of directors, the size of our investment (including loans) and our ability to participate in major decisions.  Our ability to correctly assess our influence or control over an entity affects the presentation of these investments in the Consolidated Financial Statements and, consequently, our financial position and results of operations.
Reclassifications	'
	Reclassifications
	Certain items in our Consolidated Financial Statements for 2012 have been reclassified to conform to the 2013 presentation.  Income statement amounts for properties disposed of or classified as held for sale have been reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Use Of Estimates	'
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition	'
	Revenue Recognition
	We record rental revenues on a straight-line basis under which contractual rent increases are recognized evenly over the full lease term.  Certain properties have leases that provide for tenant occupancy during periods where no rent is due or where minimum rent payments change during the term of the lease.  Accordingly, we record receivables from tenants that we expect to collect over the remaining lease term rather than currently, which are recorded as a straight-line rent receivable.  When we acquire a property, the terms of existing leases are considered to commence as of the acquisition date for the purposes of this calculation.  The total increase to “Rental revenues” due to straight-line rent adjustments was approximately $1.1 million and $3.6 million, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, and approximately $1.3 million and $4.5 million, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.
	Tenant recovery income includes payments and amounts due from tenants pursuant to their leases for real estate taxes, insurance and other recoverable property operating expenses and is recognized as “Rental revenues” during the same period the related expenses are incurred.  Tenant recovery income recognized as “Rental revenues” was approximately $15.6 million and $45.9 million, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively and approximately $13.2 million and $36.5 million, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.
	We maintain an allowance for estimated losses that may result from the inability of our tenants to make required payments.  If a tenant fails to make contractual payments beyond any allowance, we may recognize additional bad debt expense in future periods equal to the net outstanding balances.  As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, our allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately $2.0 million and $1.3 million, respectively.
	In connection with property acquisitions qualifying as business combinations, we may acquire leases with rental rates above or below the market rental rates.  Such differences are recorded as an intangible lease asset or liability and amortized to “Rental revenues” over the reasonably assured term of the related leases.  The unamortized balances of these assets and liabilities associated with the early termination of leases are fully amortized to their respective revenue line items in our Consolidated Statements of Operations over the shorter of the expected life of such assets and liabilities or the remaining lease term.  The total net impact to “Rental revenues” due to the amortization of above and below market rents was an increase of approximately $0.4 million and $1.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, and approximately $0.2 million and $0.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.
	Early lease termination fees are recorded in “Rental revenues” on a straight-line basis over the estimated remaining contractual lease term or upon collection if collectability is not assured.   The total net impact to “Rental revenues” due to early lease termination fees was an increase of approximately $0.8 million and $1.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013,  respectively, and approximately $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.
	We earn revenues from asset management fees, acquisition fees, property management fees and fees for other services pursuant to joint venture and other agreements.  These are included in our Consolidated Statements of Operations in “Institutional capital management and other fees.”  We recognize revenues from asset management fees, acquisition fees, property management fees and fees for other services when the related fees are earned and are realized or realizable.

	(1) Property net operating income (“property NOI”) is defined as rental revenues, including reimbursements, less rental expenses and real estate taxes, which excludes institutional capital management fees, depreciation, amortization, casualty and involuntary conversion gains, impairment, general and administrative expenses, equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated joint ventures, interest expense, interest and other income (expense) and income tax benefit (expense) and other taxes.  We consider property NOI to be an appropriate supplemental performance measure because property NOI reflects the operating performance of our properties and excludes certain items that are not considered to be controllable in connection with the management of the property such as depreciation, amortization, impairment, general and administrative expenses and interest expense.  However, property NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our financial performance since it excludes expenses which could materially impact our results of operations.  Further, our property NOI may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies, as they may use different methodologies for calculating property NOI.  Therefore, we believe net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, as defined by GAAP, to be the most appropriate measure to evaluate our overall financial performance.

[1]	The fair values of our borrowings were estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology. Credit spreads and market interest rates used to determine the fair value of these instruments are based on unobservable Level 3 inputs which management has determined to be its best estimate of current market values.
[2]	The carrying amount of our fixed rate debt includes premiums and discounts as a result of the difference between the fair value and face value of debt assumed in connection with our acquisition activities.
[3]	The fair value of our interest rate swap is determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash flows and the discounted expected variable cash flows based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from Level 2 observable market interest rate curves. We also incorporate a credit valuation adjustment, which is derived using unobservable Level 3 inputs, to appropriately reflect both our nonperformance risk and the respective counterpartybs nonperformance risk in the fair value measurement.

[1]	Property net operating income (bproperty NOIb) is defined as rental revenues, including reimbursements, less rental expenses and real estate taxes, which excludes institutional capital management fees, depreciation, amortization, casualty and involuntary conversion gains, impairment, general and administrative expenses, equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated joint ventures, interest expense, interest and other income (expense) and income tax benefit (expense) and other taxes. We consider property NOI to be an appropriate supplemental performance measure because property NOI reflects the operating performance of our properties and excludes certain items that are not considered to be controllable in connection with the management of the property such as depreciation, amortization, impairment, general and administrative expenses and interest expense. However, property NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our financial performance since it excludes expenses which could materially impact our results of operations. Further, our property NOI may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies, as they may use different methodologies for calculating property NOI. Therefore, we believe net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, as defined by GAAP, to be the most appropriate measure to evaluate our overall financial performance.
