Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
ORGANIZATION	ORGANIZATION Urban Edge Properties (“UE”, “Urban Edge” or the “Company”) (NYSE: UE) is a Maryland real estate investment trust that owns, manages, acquires, develops, redevelops and operates retail real estate in high barrier-to-entry markets. Urban Edge Properties LP (“UELP” or the “Operating Partnership”) is a Delaware limited partnership formed to serve as the Company’s majority-owned partnership subsidiary and to own, through affiliates, all of the Company’s real estate properties and other assets. Prior to its separation on January 15, 2015 , UE was a wholly owned subsidiary of Vornado Realty Trust (“Vornado”) (NYSE: VNO). UE and UELP were created to own the majority of Vornado’s former shopping center business. Prior to the separation, the portfolio is referred to as “UE Businesses.” Unless the context otherwise requires, references to “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Urban Edge Properties and UELP and their consolidated entities/subsidiaries after giving effect to the transfer of assets and liabilities from Vornado as well as to UE Businesses prior to the date of the separation. Pursuant to a separation and distribution agreement between UE and Vornado (the “Separation Agreement”), the interests in certain properties held by Vornado’s operating partnership, Vornado Realty L.P. (“VRLP”), were contributed or otherwise transferred to UE in exchange for 100% of our outstanding common shares. Following that contribution, VRLP distributed 100% of our outstanding common shares to Vornado and the other common limited partners of VRLP, pro rata with respect to their ownership of common limited partnership units in VRLP. Vornado then distributed all of the UE common shares it had received from VRLP to Vornado common shareholders on a pro rata basis. As a result, VRLP common limited partners and Vornado common shareholders all received common shares of UE in the spin-off at a ratio of one common share of UE to every two VRLP common units and every two common shares of Vornado. Substantially concurrently with such distribution, the interests in certain properties held by VRLP, including interests in entities holding properties, were contributed or otherwise transferred to UELP in exchange for 5.4% of UELP’s outstanding common limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”). The Operating Partnership’s capital includes OP Units. As of December 31, 2016, Urban Edge owned approximately 94.0% of the outstanding common OP Units with the remaining limited OP Units held by VRLP, and members of management and our Board of Trustees. Urban Edge serves as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. The third party unitholders have limited rights over the Operating Partnership such that they do not have characteristics of a controlling financial interest. As such, the Operating Partnership is considered a variable interest entity (“VIE”), and the Company is the primary beneficiary which consolidates it. The Company’s only investment is the Operating Partnership. As part of the separation, Vornado capitalized UE with $225 million of cash. Vornado also paid $21.9 million of the transaction costs incurred in connection with the separation, which is reflected within non-cash separation costs paid by Vornado within the statement of cash flows. Of the $21.9 million transaction costs, $17.4 million were contingent on the completion of the separation. The remaining $4.5 million of transaction costs were allocated to Vornado on the separation date. As of December 31, 2016 our portfolio consisted of 79 shopping centers, three malls and a warehouse park totaling 14.8 million square feet.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND COMBINATION	BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND COMBINATION The accompanying consolidated and combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for annual financial information and with the instructions of Form 10-K. The consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016 reflect the consolidation of the Company, the Operating Partnership, wholly-owned subsidiaries and those entities in which we have a controlling financial interest, including entities where we have been determined to be a primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). The results presented for the year ended December 31, 2015 reflect the operations and changes in cash flows on a carved-out and combined basis for the period from January 1, 2015 through the date of separation and on a consolidated basis subsequent to the date of separation. The financial statements for the periods prior to the separation date are prepared on a carved-out and combined basis from the consolidated financial statements of Vornado as UE Businesses were under common control of Vornado prior to January 15, 2015 . Such carved-out and combined amounts were determined using the historical results of operations and carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities transferred to UE Businesses. The financial statements reflect the common shares as of the date of the separation as outstanding for all periods prior to the separation. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation and combination. For periods presented prior to the date of the separation, our historical combined financial results for UE Businesses reflect charges for certain corporate costs which we believe are reasonable. These charges were based on either actual costs incurred by Vornado or a proportion of costs estimated to be applicable to UE Businesses based on an analysis of key metrics including total revenues, real estate assets, leasable square feet and operating income. Such costs do not necessarily reflect what the actual costs would have been if the Company were operating as a separate stand-alone public company. These charges are discussed further in Note 5 — Related Party Transactions. Our primary business is the ownership, management, redevelopment, development and operation of retail shopping centers. We do not distinguish our primary business or group our operations on a geographical basis for purposes of measuring performance. We review operating and financial information for each property on an individual basis and therefore, each property represents an individual operating segment. None of our tenants accounted for more than 10% of our revenue or property operating income. We aggregate all of our properties into one reportable segment due to their similarities with regard to the nature and economics of the properties, tenants and operations, as well as long-term average financial performance.

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 amount 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. Real Estate — Real estate is carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed to operations as they are incurred. Significant renovations and improvements that improve or extend the useful lives of assets are capitalized. As real estate is undergoing redevelopment activities, all property operating expenses directly associated with and attributable to the redevelopment, including interest, are capitalized to the extent the capitalized costs of the property do not exceed the estimated fair value of the redeveloped property when completed. If the cost of the redeveloped property, including the net book value of the existing property, exceeds the estimated fair value of redeveloped property, the excess is charged to impairment expense. We capitalize all property operating expenses directly associated with and attributable to the development of a project, including interest expense. The capitalization period begins when redevelopment activities are underway and ends when the project is substantially complete. Depreciation is recognized on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives which range from 3 to 40 years. Tenant related intangibles and improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, including any bargain renewal options. Upon the acquisition of real estate, we assess the fair value of acquired assets (including land, buildings and improvements, identified intangibles, such as acquired above and below-market leases, acquired in-place leases and tenant relationships) and acquired liabilities and we allocate the purchase price based on these assessments. We assess fair value based on estimated cash flow projections utilizing appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including historical operating results, known trends, and market/economic conditions. We record acquired intangible assets (including acquired above-market leases, acquired in-place leases and tenant relationships) and acquired intangible liabilities (including below-market leases) at their estimated fair value separate and apart from goodwill. We amortize identified intangibles that have finite lives over the period they are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the future cash flows of the property or business acquired. Our properties are individually reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment exists when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the aggregate projected future cash flows over the anticipated holding period on an undiscounted basis. An impairment loss is measured based on the excess of the property’s carrying amount over its estimated fair value. Impairment analyses are based on our current plans, intended holding periods and available market information at the time the analyses are prepared. If our estimates of the projected future cash flows, anticipated holding periods, or market conditions change, our evaluation of impairment losses may be different and such differences could be material to our consolidated and combined financial statements. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is subjective and is based, in part, on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results. Plans to hold properties over longer periods decrease the likelihood of recording impairment losses. Cash and Cash Equivalents — Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and are carried at cost, which approximates fair value due to their short-term maturities. The majority of our cash and cash equivalents consists of (i) deposits at major commercial banks, which may at times exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit and (ii) United States Treasury Bills. To date we have not experienced any losses on our invested cash. Restricted Cash — Restricted cash consists of security deposits and cash escrowed under loan agreements for debt service, real estate taxes, property insurance, tenant improvements, leasing commissions and capital expenditures. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts — Accounts receivable includes unpaid amounts billed to tenants and accrued revenues for future billings to tenants for property expenses. We periodically evaluate the collectibility of amounts due from tenants and maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of tenants to make required payments under the lease agreements. We also maintain an allowance for receivables arising from the straight-lining of rents. These receivables arise from earnings recognized in excess of amounts currently due under the lease agreements. Management exercises judgment in establishing these allowances and considers payment history and current credit status in developing these estimates. Accounts receivable are written-off when they are deemed to be uncollectible and we are no longer actively pursuing collection. Deferred Leasing Costs — Deferred leasing costs include direct salaries, third-party fees and other costs incurred by us to originate a lease. Such costs are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related leases. Deferred Financing Costs — Deferred financing costs include fees associated with our revolving credit agreement. Such fees are amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related revolving credit agreement as a component of interest expense, which approximates the effective interest rate method, in accordance with the terms of the agreement. No amounts have been drawn to date under the agreement. Revenue Recognition — We have the following revenue sources and revenue recognition policies: • Base Rent - income arising from minimum lease payments from tenant leases. These rents are recognized over the non-cancelable term of the related leases on a straight-line basis which includes the effects of rent steps and rent abatements under the leases. We commence rental revenue recognition when the tenant takes possession of the leased space and the leased space is substantially ready for its intended use. In addition, in circumstances where we provide a lease incentive to tenants, we recognize the incentive as a reduction of rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. • Percentage Rent - income arising from retail tenant leases that is contingent upon tenant sales exceeding defined thresholds. These rents are recognized only after the contingency has been removed (i.e., when tenant sales thresholds have been achieved). • Expense Reimbursements - revenue arising from tenant leases which provide for the recovery of all or a portion of the operating expenses, real estate taxes and capital improvements of the respective property. This revenue is accrued in the same periods as the expenses are incurred. • Management, Leasing and Other Fees - income arising from contractual agreements with third parties. This revenue is recognized as the related services are performed under the respective agreements. Noncontrolling Interests — Noncontrolling interests represent the portion of equity that we do not own in those entities that we consolidate. We identify our noncontrolling interests separately within the equity section on the consolidated balance sheets. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests — Redeemable noncontrolling interests include OP units and limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership in the form of long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”) unit awards. Variable Interest Entities - Certain entities that do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties or in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest qualify as VIEs. VIEs are required to be consolidated by their primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact economic performance of the VIE and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The consolidated and combined financial statements reflect the consolidation of VIEs in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Earnings Per Share and Unit — Basic earnings per common share and unit is computed by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders and unitholders by the weighted average common shares and units outstanding during the period. Unvested share-based payment awards that entitle holders to receive non-forfeitable dividends, such as our restricted stock awards, are classified as “participating securities.” Because the awards are considered participating securities, the Company and the Operating Partnership are required to apply the two-class method of computing basic and diluted earnings that would otherwise have been available to common shareholders and unitholders. Under the two-class method, earnings for the period are allocated between common shareholders and unitholders and other shareholders and unitholders, based on their respective rights to receive dividends. During periods of net loss, losses are allocated only to the extent the participating securities are required to absorb their share of such losses. Diluted earnings per common share and unit reflects the potential dilution of the assumed exercises of shares including stock options and unvested restricted shares to the extent they are dilutive. Share-Based Compensation — We grant stock options, LTIP units, OP units, restricted share awards and performance-based units to our officers, trustees and employees. The term of each award is determined by the compensation committee of our Board of Trustees (the “Compensation Committee”), but in no event can such term be longer than ten years from the date of grant. The vesting schedule of each award is determined by the Compensation Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, at the date of grant of the award. Dividends are paid on certain shares of unvested restricted stock, which makes the restricted stock a participating security. Fair value is determined, depending on the type of award, using either the Black-Scholes option-pricing model or the Monte Carlo method, both of which are intended to estimate the fair value of the awards at the grant date. In using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, expected volatilities and dividend yields are primarily based on available implied data and peer group companies historical data. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Compensation expense for restricted share awards is based on the fair value of our common shares at the date of the grant and is recognized ratably over the vesting period. For grants with a graded vesting schedule or a cliff vesting schedule, we have elected to recognize compensation expense on a straight-line basis. Also included in Share-based compensation expense is the unrecognized compensation expense of awards issued under Vornado’s outperformance plan (“OPP”) prior to the separation for the Company’s employees who were previously Vornado employees. The OPP unrecognized compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the OPP awards issued. Share-based compensation expense is included in general and administrative expenses on the consolidated and combined statements of income. When the Company issues common shares as compensation, it receives a like number of common units from the Operating Partnership. Accordingly, the Company’s ownership in the Operating Partnership will increase based on the number of common shares awarded under our 2015 Omnibus Share Plan. As a result of the issuance of common units to the Company for share-based compensation, the Operating Partnership accounts for share-based compensation in the same manner as the Company. Income Taxes — Our two Puerto Rico malls are subject to income taxes which are based on estimated taxable income and are included in income tax expense in the consolidated and combined statements of income. Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which these temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Earnings and profits, which determine the taxability of dividends to shareholders, differs from net income reported for financial reporting purposes primarily because of differences in depreciable lives and cost bases of the malls, as well as other timing differences. 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. None of our tenants accounted for more than 10% of total revenues in the year ended December 31, 2016 . As of December 31, 2016 , The Home Depot was our largest tenant with 7 stores which comprised an aggregate of 920,000 square-feet and accounted for approximately $20.2 million , or 6.2% of our total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2016 . Recently Issued Accounting Literature In January 2017, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2017-01”) Clarifying the Definition of a Business , which introduces amendments that are intended to make the guidance on the definition of a business more consistent and cost-efficient. The objective of the update is to add further guidance that assists entities in evaluating whether a transaction will be accounted for as an acquisition of an asset or a business by providing a screen to determine when the set of assets and activities acquired is not a business. ASU 2017-01 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a reporting period for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The ASU must be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. The adoption of this standard will result in less real estate acquisitions qualifying as businesses and, accordingly, acquisition costs for those acquisitions that are not businesses will be capitalized rather than expensed. In November 2016, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2016-18”) Statement of Cash Flows - Restricted Cash, that requires entities to show the changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. As a result, entities will no longer present transfers between cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We elected to early adopt ASU 2016-18 including retrospective adoption for all prior periods. The impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-18 is the addition of a reconciliation of the totals in the statement of cash flows to the related captions in the balance sheet. In August 2016, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2016-15”) Statement of Cash Flows - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which addresses specific cash flow classification issues where there is currently diversity in practice including debt prepayment and proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims. ASU 2016-15 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We elected to early adopt ASU 2016-15 effective as of September 30, 2016. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 did not impact our results of operations or cash flows. In June 2016, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2016-13”) Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which replaces the incurred impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. The update is intended to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We are evaluating the impact this standard will have on our consolidated and combined financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2016-02”) Leases, which revises the accounting related to lease accounting. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases with terms greater than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The provisions of ASU 2016-02 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and should be applied through a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. We elected the modified retrospective transition approach and expects to adopt the standard beginning January 1, 2019. This standard will impact our consolidated financial statements by the recording of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets for operating and finance leases where we are the lessee. In addition, leases where we are the lessor that meet the criteria of a finance lease will be amortized using the effective interest method with corresponding charges to interest expense and amortization expense. Leases where we are the lessor that meet the criteria of an operating lease will continue to be amortized on a straight-line basis. Lastly, internal leasing department overhead previously capitalized will be expensed. In April 2015, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2015-03”) Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs to ASC Topic 835-30 Interest - Imputation of Interest. ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from that debt liability, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs is not affected by the amendments in ASU 2015-03. ASU 2015-03 is effective for public business entities for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 with early adoption permitted. We elected to early adopt ASU 2015-03 effective as of December 31, 2015. The effect of ASU 2015-03 was to reclassify the net unamortized balance of debt issuance costs of $10.0 million as of December 31, 2015 from deferred financing costs to a contra liability deduction of mortgages payable. Mortgages payable as of December 31, 2016 are presented net of $8.0 million of unamortized debt issuance costs. The adoption of ASU 2015-03 did not impact our results of operations or cash flows. In February 2015, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2015-02”) Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis to ASC Topic 810 Consolidation. Under amendments in this update, all reporting entities are within the scope of Subtopic 810-10 Consolidation - Overall, including limited partnerships and similar legal entities, unless a scope exception applies. The presumption that a general partner controls a limited partnership has been eliminated. Overall the amendments in this update are to simplify the codification and reduce the number of consolidation models and place more emphasis on risk of loss when determining controlling financial interests. ASU 2015-02 is effective for public businesses for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. We adopted ASU 2015-02 as of March 31, 2016. Under ASU 2015-02 the Company’s Operating Partnership is considered a variable interest entity (“VIE”). The Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE, the VIE’s assets can be used for purposes other than the settlement of the VIE’s obligations and the Company’s partnership interest is considered a majority voting interest. The Operating Partnership was formed to serve as the Company’s majority-owned partnership subsidiary and to own, through affiliates, all of the Company’s real estate properties and other assets. The Company consolidates the Operating Partnership as it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. In May 2014, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2014-09”) Revenue from Contracts with Customers to ASC Topic 606, which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. ASU 2014-09 requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the FASB issued the following updates to ASC Topic 606 to clarify and/or amend the guidance in ASU 2014-09: (i) ASU 2016-08 Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), which clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations, (ii) ASU 2016-10 Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, which clarifies guidance related to identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation guidance and (iii) ASU 2016-12 Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which amends certain aspects of ASU 2014-09. In August 2015, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2015-09”) Revenue from Contracts with Customers to ASC Topic 606, which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year. ASU 2015-09 is effective beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted only for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. We are permitted to use either the modified retrospective or the retrospective method for adopting this standard. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption on our consolidated and combined financial statements including gain recognition on real estate sales and the presentation of tenant reimbursement income.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS	ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS During the year ended December 31, 2016 , we purchased land that is the site of a future 2,000 sf Popeye’s for $2.7 million . During the year ended December 31, 2015 , we acquired three properties with existing leases. All acquisitions have been accounted for as business combinations. The purchase prices were allocated to the acquired assets based on their estimated fair values at date of acquisition. The following table provides a summary of acquisition activity in 2016 and 2015 : Date Purchased Property Name City State Square Feet/Acres Purchase Price (unaudited) (in thousands) April 29, 2015 Bergen Town Center - outparcel Paramus NJ 0.8 (1) $ 2,750 June 29, 2015 Lawnside - outparcel Lawnside NJ 2,000 375 December 23, 2015 Cross Bay Commons Queens NY 46,000 27,000 2015 Total 30,125 December 22, 2016 North Bergen - outparcel North Bergen NJ 0.3 (1) 2,667 2016 Total $ 2,667 (1) In acres. The aggregate purchase price of the above property acquisitions have been allocated as follows: Amount (Amounts in thousands) 2016 2015 Land $ 2,667 $ 17,145 Buildings and improvements — 12,821 Identified intangible assets — 1,760 Deferred leasing costs — 594 Identified intangible liabilities — (2,195 ) $ 2,667 $ 30,125 We expensed approximately $1.2 million of transaction-related costs in connection with completed or pending property acquisitions that were closed subsequent to December 31, 2016 which are included in Transaction costs in the consolidated and combined statements of operations. In conjunction with the acquisition of Cross Bay Commons on December 23, 2015, we entered into a reverse like-kind exchange agreement under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code with a third party intermediary. The exchange agreement was for a maximum of 180 days and allowed us, for tax purposes, to defer gains on the sale of other properties sold within 180 days after the acquisition date. On June 9, 2016 , we completed the sale of a shopping center located in Waterbury, CT. The sales price of this property of $21.6 million , less costs to sell, resulted in net proceeds of $19.9 million . Accordingly, we recorded a gain on sale of $15.6 million . The sale completed the reverse Section 1031 tax deferred exchange transaction with the acquisition of Cross Bay Commons. From December 23, 2015 to June 9, 2016 , a third party intermediary was the legal owner of Cross Bay Commons, although we controlled the activities that most significantly impacted the property and retained all of the economic benefits and risks associated with it, and therefore we concluded it was a VIE and we were the primary beneficiary of the VIE. Accordingly, effective December 23, 2015 , we consolidated Cross Bay Commons and its operations even during the period it was held by a third party intermediary. The consolidated balance sheets included total assets and liabilities of Cross Bay Commons of $29.5 million and $2.5 million , respectively, as of December 31, 2015 . Refer to Note 19 - Subsequent Events for acquisitions closed subsequent to December 31, 2016 .

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS	RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS In connection with the separation, the Company and Vornado entered into a transition services agreement under which Vornado provided transition services to the Company including human resources, information technology, risk management, tax services and office space and support. The fees charged to us by Vornado for those transition services approximated the actual cost incurred by Vornado in providing such services. On June 28, 2016, the Company executed an amendment to the transition services agreement, extending Vornado’s provision of information technology, risk management services and the portion of the human resources service related to health and benefits through July 31, 2018, unless terminated earlier. Fees for these services remain the same except that they may be adjusted for inflation. As of December 31, 2016 there were no amounts due to Vornado related to such services. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 there were $1.7 million and $2.4 million of costs paid to Vornado included in general and administrative expenses, respectively, which consisted of $0.9 million and $0.4 million of rent expense for two of our office locations and $0.8 million and $2.0 million of transition services fees, respectively. Management and Development Fees In connection with the separation, the Company and Vornado entered into a property management agreement under which the Company provides management, development, leasing and other services to certain properties owned by Vornado and its affiliates, including Interstate Properties (“Interstate”) and Alexander’s, Inc. (NYSE:ALX). Interstate is a general partnership that owns retail properties in which Steven Roth, Chairman of Vornado’s Board and Chief Executive Officer of Vornado, and a member of our Board of Trustees, is the managing general partner. Interstate and its partners beneficially owned an aggregate of approximately 7.1% of the common shares of beneficial interest of Vornado as of December 31, 2016 . As of the year ended December 31, 2016 , Vornado owned 32.4% of Alexander’s, Inc. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 , and 2014 we recognized management and development fee income of $1.8 million , $2.3 million , and $0.5 million respectively. As of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , there were $0.3 million and $0.7 million of fees, respectively, due from Vornado included in tenant and other receivables in our consolidated balance sheets.

Amortization of acquired in-place leases and customer relationships resulted in additional depreciation and amortization expense of $2.0 million , $1.5 million and $1.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Certain shopping centers were acquired subject to ground leases or ground and building leases.

In June 2016, in connection with the sale of our property in Waterbury, CT, we prepaid $21.2 million of the variable rate portion of our cross collateralized mortgage loan to maintain compliance with covenant requirements. (2) On January 6, 2015, we completed the modification of the $120.0 million , 6.04% mortgage loan secured by Montehiedra Town Center. Refer to “Troubled Debt Restructuring” disclosure below. (3) On March 30, 2015, we notified the lender that due to tenants vacating, the property’s operating cash flow would be insufficient to pay its debt service. As of December 31, 2016 we were in default and the property was transferred to receivership. Urban Edge no longer manages the property but will remain its title owner until the receiver disposes of the property. We have determined this property is held in a VIE for which we are the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2016 we consolidated Englewood and its operations. The consolidated balance sheet included total assets and liabilities of $12.4 million and $14.2 million , respectively. (4) The mortgage payable balance secured by Montehiedra was presented net of unamortized fees of $1.7 million as of December 31, 2015 in our Form 10-K as filed with SEC for Urban Edge Properties. The net unamortized fees of $1.7 million were revised to be presented with the unamortized debt issuance costs. (5) The mortgage payable balance on the loan secured by Mt. Kisco (Target) includes $1.1 million of unamortized debt discount as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 . The effective interest rate including amortization of the debt discount is 7.26% as of December 31, 2016 . The net carrying amount of real estate collateralizing the above indebtedness amounted to approximately $859.2 million as of December 31, 2016 . Our mortgage loans contain covenants that limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness on these properties and in certain circumstances, require lender approval of tenant leases and/or yield maintenance upon repayment prior to maturity. Our property in Waterbury, CT was held as collateral in our cross collateralized mortgage loan. In connection with the sale of our property in Waterbury, CT on June 9, 2016 , we prepaid $21.2 million of the variable rate component of our cross collateralized mortgage loan in order to maintain compliance with covenant requirements. As of December 31, 2016 , we were in compliance with all debt covenants. As of December 31, 2016 , the principal repayments for the next five years and thereafter are as follows: (Amounts in thousands) Year Ending December 31, 2017 17,120 2018 99,708 2019 17,320 2020 513,870 2021 120,048 Thereafter 437,494 On January 15, 2015 , we entered into a $500 million Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Agreement”) with certain financial institutions. The Agreement has a four -year term with two six -month extension options. Borrowings under the Agreement are subject to interest at LIBOR plus 1.15% and we are required to pay an annual facility fee of 20 basis points which is expensed as incurred. Both the spread over LIBOR and the facility fee are based on our current leverage ratio and are subject to increase if our leverage ratio increases above predefined thresholds. The Agreement contains customary financial covenants including a maximum leverage ratio of 60% and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.5x . No amounts have been drawn to date under the Agreement. Financing fees associated with the Agreement of $1.9 million and $2.8 million as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, are included in deferred financing fees in the consolidated balance sheets. Troubled Debt Restructuring During the year ended December 31, 2014 , Montehiedra Town Center (“Montehiedra”), our property in the San Juan area of Puerto Rico, was experiencing financial difficulties which resulted in a substantial decline in its net operating cash flows. As such, we transferred the mortgage loan secured by Montehiedra to the special servicer and discussed restructuring the terms of the mortgage loan. In January 2015 we completed the modification of the $120.0 million , 6.04% mortgage loan. The loan was extended from July 2016 to July 2021 and separated into two tranches, a senior $90.0 million position with interest at 5.33% to be paid currently and a junior $30.0 million position with interest accruing at 3.0% . As part of the planned redevelopment of the property, we committed to fund $20.0 million through an intercompany loan for leasing and capital expenditures of which $16.9 million has been funded as of December 31, 2016 . This $20.0 million intercompany loan is senior to the $30.0 million mortgage position noted above and accrues interest at 10% . Both the intercompany loan and related interest are eliminated in our consolidated and combined financial statements. We incurred $2.0 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the loan modification.

INCOME TAXES

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES The Company has elected to qualify as a REIT under sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, commencing with the filing of our tax return for the 2015 fiscal year. Under those sections, a REIT, which distributes at least 90% of its REIT taxable income as a dividend to its shareholders each year and which meets certain other conditions, will not be taxed on that portion of its taxable income which is distributed to its shareholders. Prior to the separation from Vornado, UE Businesses historically operated under Vornado’s REIT structure. As Vornado operates as a REIT and distributes 100% of taxable income, no provision for federal income taxes has been made in the accompanying consolidated and combined financial statements for periods prior to the separation. If we fail to qualify as a REIT for any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income taxes at regular corporate rates (including any alternative minimum tax) and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for the four subsequent taxable years. The following summarizes the tax status of dividends paid for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 : Year Ended December 31, 2016 2015 Dividend paid per share $ 0.82 $ 0.80 Ordinary income 100 % 100 % Return of capital — % — % Capital gains — % — % The REIT and the other minority members are partners in the Operating Partnership. As such, the partners are required to report their share of taxable income on their tax returns. We are also subject to certain other taxes, including state and local taxes and franchise taxes which are included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated and combined statements of income. Our two Puerto Rico malls are subject to a 29% non-resident withholding tax which is included in income tax expense in the consolidated and combined statements of income. The Puerto Rico tax expense recorded was $0.8 million , $1.3 million , and $1.7 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 , and 2014 respectively. Both properties are held in a special partnership for Puerto Rico tax reporting (the general partner being a qualified REIT subsidiary or “QRS”). Income tax expense consists of the following: Year Ended December 31, (Amounts in thousands) 2016 2015 2014 Income tax expense: Current (1) $ 609 $ 1,417 $ 1,721 Deferred (2) 195 (123 ) — Total income tax expense $ 804 $ 1,294 $ 1,721 (1) Current income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2016 is net of a $0.6 million reduction to the accrued income tax liability recorded in the second quarter of 2016. (2) The deferred portion of income tax expense related to temporary differences for periods prior to the separation date are reflected as contributions from Vornado in the consolidated and combined statement of changes in equity. A net deferred tax liability of $3.8 million is included in our consolidated balance sheet within Other Liabilities as of December 31, 2016 , comprised of temporary differences related to our two Puerto Rico properties, a deferred tax liability of $4.5 million offset by a deferred tax asset of $0.7 million . The deferred tax liability of $4.5 million is comprised of $2.3 million of tax depreciation in excess of GAAP depreciation, $1.9 million straight-line rents and $0.3 million of amortization of acquired leases not recorded for tax purposes. The deferred tax asset of $0.7 million is comprised of $0.3 million of GAAP to tax depreciation adjustment, $0.2 million of amortization of deferred financing fees not recorded for tax purposes and $0.2 million excess of bad debt expense for tax purposes. The temporary differences resulting from activity during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 is recorded within Income Tax Expense on the consolidated and combined statements of income. Below is a table summarizing the net deferred income tax liability balance as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 : (Amounts in thousands) Balance at January 1, 2015 $ (3,730 ) Change in deferred tax assets: Depreciation (123 ) Amortization of deferred financing costs 254 Provision for doubtful accounts (72 ) Change in deferred tax liabilities: Depreciation (2 ) Straight-line rent 51 Amortization of acquired leases 15 Balance at December 31, 2015 (3,607 ) Change in deferred tax assets: Depreciation (94 ) Amortization of deferred financing costs (46 ) Provision for doubtful accounts (14 ) Change in deferred tax liabilities: Depreciation (88 ) Straight-line rent 39 Amortization of acquired leases 8 Balance at December 31, 2016 $ (3,802 ) The Operating Partnership is organized as limited partnership and is generally not subject to federal income tax. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes has been reflected in the accompanying consolidated and combined financial statements. The Operating Partnership, however, is subject to the non-resident withholding tax at our two Puerto Rico malls.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS	12 Months Ended

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. The objective of fair value is to determine the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (the exit price). ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three levels: Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities; Level 2 - observable prices based on inputs not quoted in active markets, but corroborated by market data; and Level 3 - unobservable inputs used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. In determining fair value, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as consider counterparty credit risk in our assessment of fair value. Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring or Non-Recurring Basis There were no financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 . Financial Assets and Liabilities not Measured at Fair Value Financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets include cash and cash equivalents and mortgages payable. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The fair value of mortgages payable is calculated by discounting the future contractual cash flows of these instruments using current risk-adjusted rates available to borrowers with similar credit ratings, which are provided by a third-party specialist. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents is classified as Level 1 and the fair value of mortgages payable is classified as Level 2. The table below summarizes the carrying amounts and fair value of these financial instruments as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 . As of December 31, 2016 As of December 31, 2015 (Amounts in thousands) Carrying Amount Fair Value Carrying Amount Fair Value Assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 131,654 $ 131,654 $ 168,983 $ 168,983 Liabilities: Mortgages payable (1) $ 1,205,560 $ 1,216,989 $ 1,243,957 $ 1,262,483 (1) Excludes unamortized debt issuance costs.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Legal Matters: There are various legal actions against us in the ordinary course of business. In our opinion, after consultation with legal counsel, the outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Loan Commitments: In January 2015 we completed the modification of the $120.0 million , 6.04% mortgage loan secured by Montehiedra. As part of the planned redevelopment of the property, we committed to fund $20.0 million for leasing and building capital expenditures of which $16.9 million has been funded as of December 31, 2016 . Redevelopment: As of December 31, 2016 , we had approximately $191.7 million of active development, redevelopment and anchor repositioning projects underway of which $110.5 million remains to be funded as of December 31, 2016 . Based on current plans and estimates we anticipate the remaining amounts will be expended over the next three years. Insurance: We maintain general liability insurance with limits of $200 million per occurrence for properties in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, and all-risk property and rental value insurance coverage with limits of $500 million for properties in the U.S. and $139 million for properties in Puerto Rico per occurrence, with sub-limits for certain perils such as floods and earthquakes on each of our properties. We also maintain coverage for terrorism acts with limits of $500 million for properties in the U.S. and $139 million for properties in Puerto Rico per occurrence and in the aggregate excluding coverage for nuclear, biological, chemical or radiological terrorism events as defined by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act, which expires in December 2020. In addition, we maintain coverage for cybersecurity with limits of $5 million in the aggregate providing first and third party coverage including network interruption, event management, cyber extortion and claims for media content, security and privacy liability. Insurance premiums are charged directly to each of the retail properties and warehouses. We will be responsible for deductibles and losses in excess of insurance coverage, which could be material. We continue to monitor the state of the insurance market and the scope and costs of coverage for acts of terrorism. However, we cannot anticipate what coverage will be available on commercially reasonable terms in the future. Our mortgage loans are non-recourse and contain customary covenants requiring adequate insurance coverage. Although we believe that we currently have adequate insurance coverage for purposes of these agreements, we may not be able to obtain an equivalent amount of coverage at reasonable costs in the future. If lenders insist on greater coverage than we are able to obtain it could adversely affect our ability to finance our properties and expand our portfolio. Environmental Matters: Each of our properties has been subjected to varying degrees of environmental assessment at various times. Based on these assessments and the projected remediation costs, we have accrued costs of $1.4 million on our consolidated balance sheets for potential remediation costs for environmental contamination at two properties. While this accrual reflects our best estimates of the potential costs of remediation at these properties, $0.1 million has currently been expended and there can be no assurance that the actual costs will not exceed this amount. With respect to our other properties, the environmental assessments did not reveal any material environmental contamination. However, there can be no assurance that the identification of new areas of contamination, changes in the extent or known scope of contamination, the discovery of additional sites, or changes in cleanup requirements would not result in significant costs to us.

Noncontrolling Interest [Abstract]
EQUITY AND NONCONTROLLING INTEREST	NONCONTROLLING INTEREST At-The-Market Program On August 8, 2016 , the Company established an at-the-market (“ATM”) equity program, pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell its common shares, par value $0.01 per share, with an aggregate gross sales price of up to $250.0 million through a consortium of broker-dealers acting as sales agents. Sales of common shares may be made, as needed, from time to time in ATM offerings as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, including by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on the NYSE or otherwise (i) at market prices prevailing at the time of sale (ii) at prices related to prevailing market prices or (iii) as otherwise agreed to with the applicable sales agent. From September 2016 to December 31, 2016 , the Company issued 307,342 common shares at a weighted average price of $28.45 under its ATM equity program, generating cash proceeds of $8.7 million . We paid $0.1 million of commissions to distribution agents and $0.4 million in additional offering expenses related to the issuance of these common shares. We used the net proceeds to fund acquisition opportunities and fund our development and redevelopment pipeline. Actual future sales will depend on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, market conditions, the trading price of our common shares and our capital needs. We have no obligation to sell the remaining shares available under the active ATM equity program. Common Units of the Operating Partnership Operating Partnership units were issued by the Operating Partnership to the Company in connection with the issuance of common shares by the Company under its ATM equity program, as discussed above. Dividends and Distributions During the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company declared dividends on our common shares and OP unit distributions of $0.82 per share/unit, and $0.80 per share/unit, respectively. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests Redeemable noncontrolling interests reflected on the consolidated balance sheets of the Company are comprised of OP Units and limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership in the form of LTIP unit awards. In connection with the separation, the Company issued 5.7 million OP units, representing a 5.4% interest in the Operating Partnership to VRLP in exchange for interests in VRLP properties contributed by VRLP. LTIP unit awards were granted to certain executives pursuant to our Omnibus Share Plan (the “Omnibus Share Plan”). The total of the OP units and LTIP units represent a 6.0% weighted-average interest in the Operating Partnership for twelve months ended December 31, 2016 . Holders of outstanding vested LTIP units may, from and after two years from the date of issuance, redeem their LTIP units for cash, or for the Company’s common shares on a one -for-one basis, solely at the Company’s election. Holders of outstanding OP units may, at a determinable date, redeem their units for cash or the Company’s common shares on a one -for-one basis solely at our election. Noncontrolling Interest The noncontrolling interest relates to the 5% interest held by others in our property in Walnut Creek, CA (Mt. Diablo). The net income attributable to noncontrolling interest is presented separately in our consolidated and combined statements of income.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION	12 Months Ended

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]
SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION	SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION On January 7, 2015 our board and initial shareholder approved the Urban Edge Properties Omnibus Share Plan, under which awards may be granted up to a maximum of 15,000,000 of our common shares or share equivalents. Pursuant to the Omnibus Share Plan, stock options, LTIP units, operating partnership units and restricted shares were granted. We have a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “DRIP”), whereby shareholders may use their dividends to purchase shares. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 , 12,564 and 11,407 shares were issued under the DRIP, respectively. On November 3, 2015, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Company approved the Company’s 2015 Outperformance Plan (“OPP”). The OPP is a multi-year, performance-based equity compensation plan under which participants, including our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, have the opportunity to earn awards in the form of LTIP Units if, and only if, we outperform a predetermined total shareholder return (“TSR”) and/or outperform the market with respect to a relative TSR in any year during the requisite performance periods as described below. The aggregate notional amount of the 2015 OPP grant was $10.2 million . Awards under the 2015 OPP may be earned if we (i) achieve a TSR level greater than 7% per annum, or 21% over the three -year performance measurement period (the “Absolute Component”), and/or (ii) achieve a TSR equal to or above, that of the 50th percentile of a retail REIT peer group (“Peer Group”) comprised of 15 of our peer companies, over a three -year performance measurement period (the “Relative Component”). Dividends on awards accrue during the measurement period. If the designated performance objectives are achieved, LTIP Units are also subject to time-based vesting requirements. Awards earned under the 2015 OPP vest 50% in year three, 25% in year four and 25% in year five. Our executive officers are required to hold earned 2015 OPP awards for one year following vesting. The fair value of the 2015 OPP on the date of grant was $3.9 million using a Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the fair value based on the probability of satisfying the market conditions and the projected share price at the time of payment, discounted to the valuation date over a three -year performance period. Assumptions include historic volatility ( 25.0% ), risk-free interest rates ( 1.2% ), and historic daily return as compared to our Peer Group (which ranged from 19.0% to 27.0% ). Such amount is being amortized into expense over a five -year period from the date of grant, using a graded vesting attribution model. In the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 , we recognized $1.1 million and $0.2 million of compensation expense related to the OPP’s LTIP Units, respectively. As of December 31, 2016 there was $2.6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the OPP’s LTIP Units, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.6 years. All stock options granted have ten -year contractual lives, containing vesting terms of three to five years. As of December 31, 2016 , the weighted average contractual term of shares under option outstanding at the end of the period is 8.3 years.

The total grant date value of the 15,977 and 1,022 restricted shares vested during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $0.4 million and $25 thousand , respectively. There were 433,040 LTIP units issued to executives during the year ended December 31, 2015 , 343,232 of which were issued in connection with the separation transaction and were immediately vested. During the year ended December 31, 2016 , 39,439 units vested. The remaining 50,369 units vest over a weighted average period of 2.2 years. Share-based compensation expense, which is included in general and administrative expenses in our consolidated and combined statements of income, is summarized as follows: Year Ended December 31, (Amounts in thousands) 2016 2015 Share-based compensation expense components (2) : Restricted share expense $ 1,314 $ 282 Stock option expense 2,437 1,901 LTIP expense (3) 473 7,748 Outperformance Plan (“OPP”) expense (1) 1,209 330 Total Share-based compensation expense $ 5,433 $ 10,261 (1) OPP Expense for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 includes $0.1 million and $0.2 million , respectively, of unrecognized compensation expense of awards issued under Vornado’s OPP for UE employees who were previously Vornado employees. The remaining OPP unrecognized compensation expense was transferred from Vornado to UE as of the separation date and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the OPP awards issued. (2) We did not have any equity awards issued prior to the date of the separation. $3.9 million of share-based compensation expense is included in general and administrative expenses in our combined statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2014 and is related to Vornado equity awards issued prior to the separation for Vornado employees. (3) LTIP expense excludes the expense associated with LTIP units under the 2015 OPP. As of December 31, 2016 , we had a total of $11.0 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested and restricted share-based payment arrangements including unvested stock options, LTIP units, and restricted share awards which were granted under our Omnibus Share Plan as well as OPP awards issued by Vornado. This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.8 years .

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
EARNINGS PER SHARE	EARNINGS PER SHARE AND UNIT Urban Edge Earnings per Share The Company has calculated earnings per share (“EPS”) under the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation methodology whereby EPS for each class of Urban Edge common shares and participating securities is calculated according to dividends declared and participating rights in undistributed earnings. Restricted shares issued pursuant to our share-based compensation program are considered participating securities, and as such have non-forfeitable rights to receive dividends. The computation of diluted EPS reflects potential dilution of securities by adding potential common shares, including stock options and unvested restricted shares, to the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. For the year ended December 31, 2015 , there were options outstanding for 2,289,139 shares, that potentially could be exercised for common shares. These options, with exercise prices ranging from $24.46 to $22.83 , have been excluded from the diluted EPS calculation, as their effect is anti-dilutive to the Company’s net income because the option prices were greater than the average market prices of our common shares during 2015 . In addition, there were 129,395 unvested restricted shares outstanding that potentially could become unrestricted common shares. The computation of diluted EPS for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 included the 114,354 and 25,829 weighted average unvested restricted shares outstanding, respectively, as their effect is dilutive. The effect of the redemption of OP and vested LTIP units is not reflected in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share, as they are redeemable for common shares on a one -for-one basis. The income allocable to such units is allocated on this same basis and reflected as noncontrolling interests in the accompanying consolidated and combined financial statements. As such, the assumed redemption of these units would have no net impact on the determination of diluted earnings per share since they would be anti-dilutive. As described in Note 2, the common shares outstanding at the date of the separation are reflected as outstanding for all periods prior to the separation. The following table sets forth the computation of our basic and diluted earnings per share: Year Ended December 31, (Amounts in thousands, except per share amounts) 2016 2015 2014 Numerator: Net income attributable to common shareholders $ 90,815 $ 38,785 $ 65,772 Less: Earnings allocated to unvested participating securities (114 ) (23 ) — Net income available for common shareholders - basic 90,701 38,762 65,772 Impact of assumed conversions: Unvested LTIP units 53 — — Net income available for common shareholders - diluted $ 90,754 $ 38,762 $ 65,772 Denominator: Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic 99,364 99,252 99,248 Effect of dilutive securities: Stock options using the treasury stock method 257 — — Restricted share awards 114 26 — Assumed conversion of unvested LTIP units 59 — — Weighted average common shares outstanding - diluted 99,794 99,278 99,248 Earnings per share available to common shareholders: Earnings per common share - Basic $ 0.91 $ 0.39 $ 0.66 Earnings per common share - Diluted $ 0.91 $ 0.39 $ 0.66 Operating Partnership Earnings per Unit As described in Note 2, the units outstanding at the date of the separation are reflected as outstanding for all periods prior to the separation.

Subsequent to December 31, 2016 , we completed the acquisition of the following properties: Date Purchased Property Name City State Square Feet Purchase Price (in thousands) January 4, 2017 Yonkers Gateway Center (1) Yonkers NY 191,500 $ 51,700 January 17, 2017 Shops at Bruckner (2) Bronx NY 114,000 $ 32,000 February 2, 2017 Hudson Mall (3) Jersey City NJ 383,000 $ 43,700 (1) On January 4, 2017 we acquired interests in Yonkers Gateway Center. Consideration for this purchase consisted of the issuance of $48.8 million in OP units and $2.9 million of cash. The total number of OP units issued was 1.8 million . (2) On January 17, 2017, we acquired the leasehold interest in the Shops at Bruckner for $32.0 million , consisting of the assumption of the existing debt of $12.6 million and $19.4 million of cash. The property is a 114,000 sf retail center in the Bronx, NY directly across from the Company’s 375,000 sf Bruckner Commons. The Company owns the land under the Shops at Bruckner and has been leasing it to the seller under a ground lease. Concurrent with the acquisition, the Company has written-off the existing intangible balance related to the below-market ground lease. As a result, the Company will recognize lease settlement income in the first quarter of 2017. (3) On February 2, 2017, we acquired Hudson Mall, a 383,000 sf retail center in Jersey City, NJ adjacent to our existing Hudson Commons shopping center. Consideration for this purchase consisted of the assumption of the existing debt of $23.8 million and $19.9 million of cash. The above acquisitions were funded using a combination of available cash on hand, equity and the assumption of existing mortgage debt. Acquisition related expenses totaling $0.5 million were expensed as incurred. We have not yet measured the fair value of the tangible and identified intangible assets and liabilities nor the proforma results of operations.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUN30

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	12 Months Ended

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Accounting
Consolidation and Noncontrolling Interests	The consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016 reflect the consolidation of the Company, the Operating Partnership, wholly-owned subsidiaries and those entities in which we have a controlling financial interest, including entities where we have been determined to be a primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). The results presented for the year ended December 31, 2015 reflect the operations and changes in cash flows on a carved-out and combined basis for the period from January 1, 2015 through the date of separation and on a consolidated basis subsequent to the date of separation. The financial statements for the periods prior to the separation date are prepared on a carved-out and combined basis from the consolidated financial statements of Vornado as UE Businesses were under common control of Vornado prior to January 15, 2015 . Such carved-out and combined amounts were determined using the historical results of operations and carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities transferred to UE Businesses. The financial statements reflect the common shares as of the date of the separation as outstanding for all periods prior to the separation. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation and combination. For periods presented prior to the date of the separation, our historical combined financial results for UE Businesses reflect charges for certain corporate costs which we believe are reasonable. These charges were based on either actual costs incurred by Vornado or a proportion of costs estimated to be applicable to UE Businesses based on an analysis of key metrics including total revenues, real estate assets, leasable square feet and operating income. Such costs do not necessarily reflect what the actual costs would have been if the Company were operating as a separate stand-alone public company. These charges are discussed further in Note 5 — Related Party Transactions.
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 amount 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.
Recently Issued Accounting Literature	In April 2015, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2015-03”) Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs to ASC Topic 835-30 Interest - Imputation of Interest. ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from that debt liability, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs is not affected by the amendments in ASU 2015-03. ASU 2015-03 is effective for public business entities for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 with early adoption permitted. We elected to early adopt ASU 2015-03 effective as of December 31, 2015. The effect of ASU 2015-03 was to reclassify the net unamortized balance of debt issuance costs of $10.0 million as of December 31, 2015 from deferred financing costs to a contra liability deduction of mortgages payable. Mortgages payable as of December 31, 2016 are presented net of $8.0 million of unamortized debt issuance costs. The adoption of ASU 2015-03 did not impact our results of operations or cash flows. In February 2015, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2015-02”) Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis to ASC Topic 810 Consolidation. Under amendments in this update, all reporting entities are within the scope of Subtopic 810-10 Consolidation - Overall, including limited partnerships and similar legal entities, unless a scope exception applies. The presumption that a general partner controls a limited partnership has been eliminated. Overall the amendments in this update are to simplify the codification and reduce the number of consolidation models and place more emphasis on risk of loss when determining controlling financial interests. ASU 2015-02 is effective for public businesses for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. We adopted ASU 2015-02 as of March 31, 2016. Under ASU 2015-02 the Company’s Operating Partnership is considered a variable interest entity (“VIE”). The Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE, the VIE’s assets can be used for purposes other than the settlement of the VIE’s obligations and the Company’s partnership interest is considered a majority voting interest. The Operating Partnership was formed to serve as the Company’s majority-owned partnership subsidiary and to own, through affiliates, all of the Company’s real estate properties and other assets. The Company consolidates the Operating Partnership as it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. In May 2014, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2014-09”) Revenue from Contracts with Customers to ASC Topic 606, which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. ASU 2014-09 requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the FASB issued the following updates to ASC Topic 606 to clarify and/or amend the guidance in ASU 2014-09: (i) ASU 2016-08 Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), which clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations, (ii) ASU 2016-10 Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, which clarifies guidance related to identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation guidance and (iii) ASU 2016-12 Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which amends certain aspects of ASU 2014-09. In August 2015, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2015-09”) Revenue from Contracts with Customers to ASC Topic 606, which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year. ASU 2015-09 is effective beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted only for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. We are permitted to use either the modified retrospective or the retrospective method for adopting this standard. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption on our consolidated and combined financial statements including gain recognition on real estate sales and the presentation of tenant reimbursement income.
