Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Cash and Cash Equivalents We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash and cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Cash equivalents generally consist of commercial paper, bankers' acceptances, repurchase agreements, and money market deposits or securities. Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk include our cash and cash equivalents and our tenant receivables. We place our cash and cash equivalents with institutions with high credit quality. However, at certain times, such cash and cash equivalents may Investment Properties We record investment properties at fair value when acquired. Investment properties include costs of acquisitions; development, predevelopment, and construction (including allocable salaries and related benefits); tenant allowances and improvements; and interest and real estate taxes incurred during construction. We capitalize improvements and replacements from repair and maintenance when the repair and maintenance extends the useful life, increases capacity, or improves the efficiency of the asset. All other repair and maintenance items are expensed as incurred. We capitalize interest on projects during periods of construction until the projects are ready for their intended purpose based on interest rates in place during the construction period. Capitalized interest for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 2015 $1,521, $2,640 $1,781, We record depreciation on buildings and improvements utilizing the straight-line method over an estimated original useful life, which is generally five 40 years. We review depreciable lives of investment properties periodically and we make adjustments when necessary to reflect a shorter economic life. We amortize tenant allowances and tenant improvements utilizing the straight-line method over the term of the related lease or occupancy term of the tenant, if shorter. We record depreciation on equipment and fixtures utilizing the straight-line method over three ten We review investment properties for impairment on a property-by-property basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of investment properties may not not no may may may not 4 Investments in Unconsolidated Entities Joint ventures are common in the real estate industry.

As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, Topic 820 1 2 3 The fair value hierarchy, as defined by Topic 820, three may • Level 1 • Level 2 1 • Level 3 In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. Note 6 1 2 4 3 3 The Company has derivatives that must be measured under the fair value standard (see Note 7 not Purchase Accounting Valuation We record the total consideration of acquisitions, including transaction costs as permitted under Accounting Standards Update ("ASU ") 2017 01, 805 may 2 3 3 may third • the fair value of land and related improvements and buildings on an as-if-vacant basis; • the market value of in-place leases based upon our best estimate of current market rents and amortize the resulting market rent adjustment into revenues; • the value of costs to obtain tenants, including tenant allowances and improvements and leasing commissions; and • the value of revenue and recovery of costs foregone during a reasonable lease-up period, as if the space was vacant. The fair value of buildings is depreciated over the estimated remaining life of the acquired buildings or related improvements. We amortize tenant improvements, in-place lease assets and other lease-related intangibles over the remaining life of the underlying leases. We also estimate the value of other acquired intangible assets, if any, which are amortized over the remaining life of the underlying related intangibles. Use of Estimates We prepared the accompanying consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. This requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the reported period.

The accompanying consolidated statements of operations include amortization expense of $24.8 $25.0 $27.2 December 31, 2017, 2016 2015, Revenue Recognition We, as a lessor, retain substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the investment properties and account for our leases as operating leases. We generally accrue minimum rents on a straight-line basis over the terms of their respective leases. A large number of our retail tenants are also required to pay overage rents based on sales over a stated base amount during the lease year. We recognize overage rents only when each tenant's sales exceed the applicable sales threshold as defined in their lease. We amortize any tenant inducements as a reduction of revenue utilizing the straight-line method over the term of the related lease or occupancy term of the tenant, if shorter. A substantial portion of our leases require the tenant to reimburse us for a substantial portion of our operating expenses, including CAM, real estate taxes and insurance. This significantly reduces our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation. Such property operating expenses typically include utility, insurance, security, janitorial, landscaping, food court and other administrative expenses. As of December 31, 2017 not We also receive escrow payments for these reimbursements from substantially all our non-fixed CAM tenants and monthly fixed CAM payments throughout the year.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Text Block]	7. Derivative Financial Instruments Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its debt funding and through the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the payment of future uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company's derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company's known or expected cash payments related to the Company's borrowings. Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk The Company's objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps or caps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. The Company may The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in other comprehensive income ("OCI") or other comprehensive loss (“OCL”) and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Net realized gains or losses resulting from derivatives that were settled in conjunction with planned fixed-rate financings or refinancings continue to be included in accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") during the term of the hedged debt transaction. Any ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings. The Company recognized $295, $288 $193 December 31, 2017, 2016 2015, Amounts reported in AOCI relate to derivatives that will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company's variable-rate debt. Realized gains or losses on settled derivative instruments included in AOCI are recognized as an adjustment to income over the term of the hedged debt transaction.

The Company has agreements with its derivative counterparties that incorporate the loan covenant provisions of the Company's indebtedness with a lender affiliate of the derivative counterparty. Failure to comply with the loan covenant provisions would result in the Company being in default on any derivative instrument obligations covered by the agreement. As of December 31, 2017, not Fair Value Considerations Currently, the Company uses interest rate swaps and caps to manage its interest rate risk. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves, foreign exchange rates, and implied volatilities. Based on these inputs the Company has determined that its interest rate swap and cap valuations are classified within Level 2 To comply with the provisions of Topic 820, Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 3 December 31, 2017 2016, not 2 The tables below presents the Company ’s net assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of December 31, 2017 2016 Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Liabilities (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Balance at December 31, 2017 Derivative instruments, net $ — $ 7,413 $ — $ 7,413 Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Liabilities (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Balance at December 31, 2016 Derivative instruments, net $ — $ 5,752 $ — $ 5,752

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Cash and Cash Equivalents We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash and cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Cash equivalents generally consist of commercial paper, bankers' acceptances, repurchase agreements, and money market deposits or securities. Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk include our cash and cash equivalents and our tenant receivables. We place our cash and cash equivalents with institutions with high credit quality. However, at certain times, such cash and cash equivalents may
Real Estate, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Investment Properties We record investment properties at fair value when acquired. Investment properties include costs of acquisitions; development, predevelopment, and construction (including allocable salaries and related benefits); tenant allowances and improvements; and interest and real estate taxes incurred during construction. We capitalize improvements and replacements from repair and maintenance when the repair and maintenance extends the useful life, increases capacity, or improves the efficiency of the asset. All other repair and maintenance items are expensed as incurred. We capitalize interest on projects during periods of construction until the projects are ready for their intended purpose based on interest rates in place during the construction period. Capitalized interest for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 2015 $1,521, $2,640 $1,781, We record depreciation on buildings and improvements utilizing the straight-line method over an estimated original useful life, which is generally five 40 years. We review depreciable lives of investment properties periodically and we make adjustments when necessary to reflect a shorter economic life. We amortize tenant allowances and tenant improvements utilizing the straight-line method over the term of the related lease or occupancy term of the tenant, if shorter. We record depreciation on equipment and fixtures utilizing the straight-line method over three ten We review investment properties for impairment on a property-by-property basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of investment properties may not not no may may may not 4

The fair value of buildings is depreciated over the estimated remaining life of the acquired buildings or related improvements. We amortize tenant improvements, in-place lease assets and other lease-related intangibles over the remaining life of the underlying leases. We also estimate the value of other acquired intangible assets, if any, which are amortized over the remaining life of the underlying related intangibles.
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Use of Estimates We prepared the accompanying consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. This requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the reported period.

Revenue Recognition, Leases [Policy Text Block]	Revenue Recognition We, as a lessor, retain substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the investment properties and account for our leases as operating leases. We generally accrue minimum rents on a straight-line basis over the terms of their respective leases. A large number of our retail tenants are also required to pay overage rents based on sales over a stated base amount during the lease year. We recognize overage rents only when each tenant's sales exceed the applicable sales threshold as defined in their lease. We amortize any tenant inducements as a reduction of revenue utilizing the straight-line method over the term of the related lease or occupancy term of the tenant, if shorter. A substantial portion of our leases require the tenant to reimburse us for a substantial portion of our operating expenses, including CAM, real estate taxes and insurance. This significantly reduces our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation. Such property operating expenses typically include utility, insurance, security, janitorial, landscaping, food court and other administrative expenses. As of December 31, 2017 not We also receive escrow payments for these reimbursements from substantially all our non-fixed CAM tenants and monthly fixed CAM payments throughout the year. We recognize differences between estimated recoveries and the final billed amounts in the subsequent year. These differences were not
Revenue Recognition, Allowances [Policy Text Block]	Allowance for Credit Losses We record a provision for credit losses based on our judgment of a tenant's creditworthiness, ability to pay and probability of collection. In addition, we also consider the retail sector in which the tenant operates and our historical collection experience in cases of bankruptcy, if applicable.

At December 31, 2017, the applicable interest rate on the Revolver was one-month LIBOR plus 1.25%, or 2.81%. On January 22, 2018, the Company amended the Revolver under the amended and restated Facility (see Note 13 - "Subsequent Events").
[3]	The unsecured revolving credit facility, or "Revolver" and unsecured term loan, or "Term Loan" are collectively known as the "Facility." On January 22, 2018, the Company amended and restated $1.0 billion of the existing Facility (see Note 13 - "Subsequent Events" ).
[4]	The Exchange Notes were issued at a 0.028% discount, bear interest at 3.850% per annum and mature on April 1, 2020.
[5]	On August 4, 2017, WPG L.P. completed the issuance of $750.0 million of unsecured notes. The notes were issued at a 1.533% discount, with an interest rate of 5.950% per annum, and mature on August 15, 2024. Proceeds from the unsecured notes offering were used to pay down the Term Loan (defined below) and for partial repayment of the June 2015 Term Loan as discussed below. The interest rate could vary in the future based upon changes to the Company's credit ratings.
[6]	The Term Loan bore interest at one-month LIBOR plus 1.45% per annum. We had interest rate swap agreements totaling $200.0 million, which effectively fixed the interest rate on a portion of the Term Loan at 2.04% per annum. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Term Loan was repaid in full and the Company wrote off $0.2 million of debt issuance costs. On January 22, 2018, the Company borrowed $350.0 million under the Term Loan feature of the amended and restated Facility (see Note 13 - "Subsequent Events").
[7]	While we have interest rate swap agreements in place that fix the LIBOR portion of the rates as noted above, the spread over LIBOR could vary in the future based upon changes to the Company's credit ratings.
[8]	The December 2015 Term Loan bears interest at one-month LIBOR plus 1.80% per annum and will mature on January 10, 2023. We have interest rate swap agreements totaling $340.0 million, which effectively fix the interest rate at 3.51% per annum through maturity.
[9]	The June 2015 Term Loan bears interest at one-month LIBOR plus 1.45% per annum and will mature on March 2, 2020. We have interest rate swap agreements totaling $270.0 million, which effectively fix the interest rate at 2.56% per annum through June 30, 2018. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company repaid $230.0 million of the June 2015 Term Loan and wrote off $0.9 million of debt issuance costs. On January 22, 2018, the Company repaid the $270.0 million outstanding with proceeds from the amended and restated Facility (see Note 13 - "Subsequent Events").
