Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Organization and Basis of Presentations	Organization and Basis of Presentations
	Organization
	Ramco-Gershenson Properties Trust, together with its subsidiaries (the “Company”), is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) engaged in the business of owning, developing, redeveloping, acquiring, managing and leasing community shopping centers located predominantly in the Eastern, Midwestern and Central regions of the United States.  As of September 30, 2013, our property portfolio consists of 65 wholly owned shopping centers and one office building comprising approximately 12.5 million square feet.  In addition, we are co-investor in and manager of two joint ventures that own portfolios of shopping centers.  We own 20% of Ramco 450 Venture LLC, an entity that owns eight shopping centers comprising approximately 1.7 million square feet.  We own 30% of Ramco/Lion Venture L.P., an entity that owns three shopping centers comprising approximately 0.8 million square feet. We also have ownership interests in three smaller joint ventures that each own a shopping center.  In addition, we own interests in three parcels of land held for development or sale and five parcels of land adjacent to certain of our existing developed properties located in Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Tennessee, and Virginia.  Most of our properties are anchored by supermarkets and/or national chain stores.  The Company’s credit risk, therefore, is concentrated in the retail industry.
	Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and our majority owned subsidiary, the Operating Partnership, Ramco-Gershenson Properties, L.P. (96.5% and 95.4% owned by the Company at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively), and all wholly-owned subsidiaries, including entities in which we have a controlling financial interest.  We have elected to be a REIT for federal income tax purposes.  All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  The information furnished is unaudited and reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to reflect a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
	The preparation of our unaudited financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and reported amounts that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Sales Taxes
	We collect various taxes from tenants and remit these amounts, on a net basis, to the applicable taxing authorities.
	Reclassifications
	Certain reclassifications of prior period amounts, primarily related to discontinued operations, have been made in the condensed consolidated financial statements in order to conform to the current presentation.
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In July 2013, the FASB updated ASC 740 "Income Taxes" with ASU 2013-11 "Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carry forward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carry forward Exists." The objective of this update is to reduce the diversity in practice related to the presentation of certain unrecognized tax benefits. The amendments in this update require an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for those instances described above, except in certain situations described in the update. For public entities, ASU 2013-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013 and interim periods with those years. The guidance should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. We are evaluating the impact that this update may have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
	In July 2013, the FASB updated ASC 815 "Derivatives and Hedging" with ASU 2013-10 "Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (of Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes." ASU 2013-10 permits the Overnight Index Swap ("OIS") Rate, also referred to as the Fed Funds effective Swap Rate, to be used as a U.S. benchmark for hedge accounting purposes, in addition to London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and interest rate on direct U.S. Treasury obligations. The guidance also removes the restriction on using different benchmarks for similar hedges. ASU 2013-10 is effective prospectively for qualifying new or re-designated hedges entered into on or after July 17, 2013. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
	In February 2013, the FASB updated ASC 220 “Comprehensive Income” with ASU 2013-2 "Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income."  This update requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, ASU 2013-2 requires an entity to present, either on the face of the income statement or in the notes to financial statements, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The amendments in ASU 2013-2 do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. For public entities, the amendments in ASU 2013-2 are effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this guidance concerns disclosure only and did not have an impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Real_Estate

Real Estate	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2013
Real Estate [Abstract]
Real Estate	Real Estate
	Included in our net real estate assets are income producing shopping center properties that are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization.
	We review our investment in real estate, including any related intangible assets, for impairment on a property-by-property basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the remaining estimated useful lives of those assets may warrant revision or that the carrying value of the property may not be recoverable.  For operating properties, these changes in circumstances include, but are not limited to, changes in occupancy, rental rates, tenant sales, net operating income, geographic location, and real estate values.
	Land held for development or sale consists of projects where vertical construction has yet to commence, but which have been identified as available for future development when market conditions dictate the demand for a new shopping center. The viability of all projects under construction or development, including those owned by unconsolidated joint ventures, is regularly evaluated under applicable accounting requirements, including requirements relating to abandonment of assets or changes in use.  Land held for development or sale was $67.4 million and $81.5 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
	Construction in progress represents existing redevelopment and tenant build-out projects.  When projects are substantially complete and ready for their intended use, balances are transferred to land or building and improvements as appropriate.  Construction in progress was $29.6 million and $17.0 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
	The increase in construction in progress from December 31, 2012 to September 30, 2013 was due primarily to the commencement of Phase I of Lakeland Park Center, located adjacent to our existing Shoppes of Lakeland shopping center in Lakeland, Florida, and ongoing redevelopment projects at existing centers. This increase was partially offset by the completion of Phase I of our Parkway Shops development, located in Jacksonville, Florida which was completed in April 2013 at a cost of approximately $17.5 million.

	The Clarion Partners Portfolio of 12 properties (the “Clarion Acquisition”) acquired on March 25, 2013 was previously held in the Ramco/Lion Venture LP, a joint venture in which we hold a 30% interest and which still owns three properties.
	For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 we recognized a deferred gain of $5.3 million related to one property that was included in the Clarion Acquisition.  The deferred gain related to our proportional 30% equity interest when the property was sold to the joint venture in 2007.

	During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, Ramco 450 Venture LLC refinanced (or repaid):
	•	the mortgage on The Plaza at Delray with a new 10-year loan in the amount of $46.0 million;
	•	the mortgage on Olentangy Plaza in the amount of $21.6 million of which our share was $4.3 million; and
	•	the mortgage on Market Plaza.  The new five year loan required the joint venture to pay down the outstanding principal balance from $24.5 million to $16.0 million, of which our 20% share was $1.7 million.
Ramco 450 Venture LLC expects to close on a new mortgage on the Chester Springs shopping center prior to the November 1, 2013 due date of the current mortgage. There are no other loans maturing until the first quarter of 2014.

	Total accumulated amortization of other assets was $40.0 million and $35.7 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
	The increase in other assets, net is primarily due to our acquisitions completed during 2013 and the allocation of a portion of the purchase price to deferred leasing costs and lease intangible assets as well as the increase in deferred financing costs related to two debt transactions.
	Intangible assets attributable to lease origination costs and for above-market leases are being amortized over the lives of the applicable lease.  Amortization of lease origination costs is an increase to amortization expense and amortization of above-market leases is a reduction to minimum rent revenue over the applicable terms of the respective leases.  Amortization of the above-market leases resulted in a reduction of revenue of approximately $1.5 million and $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	Straight-line rent receivables are recorded net of allowances of $4.0 million and $3.0 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

	(1)	99 year ground lease expires 9/30/2103.  However, an anchor tenant’s exercise of its option to purchase its parcel in October 2014 would require us to purchase the real estate that is subject to the ground lease.
	In conjunction with our acquisitions in 2013, we assumed eight mortgages totaling $158.8 million.  In addition to the contractual debt assumed, a premium of approximately $3.7 million was recorded based upon the fair value of the loans on the date they were assumed.  This additional mortgage premium is amortized over the remaining life of the loans, with amortization recorded to decrease the monthly interest expense recorded on the loans. Of the eight mortgages assumed, three mortgages totaling $100.5 million were repaid during the second quarter of 2013.
	Our fixed rate mortgages have interest rates ranging from 5.0% to 7.6% and are due at various maturity dates from May 2014 through June 2026.  Included in fixed rate mortgages at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were unamortized premium balances related to the fair market value of debt of approximately $3.4 million and $17 thousand, respectively.  The fixed rate mortgage notes are secured by mortgages on properties that have an approximate net book value of $349.3 million as of September 30, 2013.
	We had net repayments of $30.0 million on our revolving credit facility during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 with a balance of $10.0 million outstanding at September 30, 2013.  Outstanding letters of credit issued under our revolving credit facility, not reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, totaled $8.2 million. These letters of credit reduce borrowing availability under our bank facility.
	In June 2013, we closed on a $110.0 million private placement of senior unsecured notes. The notes were issued in three tranches maturing in 2021, 2023 and 2025. The weighted average interest rate on the notes is 4.04%.
	In May 2013, we entered into a $50.0 million, seven year unsecured term loan that includes an accordion feature providing the opportunity to borrow up to an additional $25.0 million under the same loan agreement. In conjunction with the closing of the loan, we entered into a seven year swap agreement resulting in an interest rate at closing of 3.5%.
	The $160.0 million in combined proceeds from our debt financings were used primarily to repay maturing mortgage debt. Specifically, we repaid:
	•	Mission Bay Plaza in the amount of $42.2 million with an interest rate of 6.6%;
	•	Hunter's Square in the amount of $33.0 million with an interest rate of 8.2%;
	•	Winchester Center in the amount of $25.3 million with an interest rate of 8.1%;
	•	East Town Plaza in the amount of $10.1 million with an interest rate of 5.5%; and
	•	Centre at Woodstock in the amount of $3.0 million with an interest rate of 6.9%.
	Our revolving credit facility, term loans and unsecured notes contain financial covenants relating to total leverage, fixed charge coverage ratio, unencumbered assets, tangible net worth and various other calculations.  As of September 30, 2013, we were in compliance with these covenants.
	In January 2013, in accordance with the agreement, our junior subordinated notes converted from a fixed interest rate to a variable rate of LIBOR plus 3.3%.  The maturity date of these notes is January 2038.
	The mortgage loans encumbering our properties, including properties held by our unconsolidated joint ventures, are generally nonrecourse, subject to certain exceptions for which we would be liable for any resulting losses incurred by the lender.  These exceptions vary from loan to loan but generally include fraud or a material misrepresentation, misstatement or omission by the borrower, intentional or grossly negligent conduct by the borrower that harms the property or results in a loss to the lender, filing of a bankruptcy petition by the borrower, either directly or indirectly and certain environmental liabilities.  In addition, upon the occurrence of certain events, such as fraud or filing of a bankruptcy petition by the borrower, we or our joint ventures would be liable for the entire outstanding balance of the loan, all interest accrued thereon and certain other costs, including penalties and expenses.
	We have entered into mortgage loans which are secured by multiple properties and contain cross-collateralization and cross-default provisions.  Cross-collateralization provisions allow a lender to foreclose on multiple properties in the event that we default under the loan.  Cross-default provisions allow a lender to foreclose on the related property in the event a default is declared under another loan.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value

Fair Value

We utilize fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures.  Derivative instruments (interest rate swaps) are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.  Additionally, we, from time to time, may be required to record other assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.  As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, GAAP establishes three fair value levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.  The assessed inputs used in determining any fair value measurement could result in incorrect valuations that could be material to our condensed consolidated financial statements.  These levels are:

Level 1

Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

Level 2

Valuation is based upon prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

Level 3

Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market.  These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for our assets and liabilities recorded at fair value.

Derivative Assets and Liabilities

All of our derivative instruments are interest rate swaps for which quoted market prices are not readily available.  For those derivatives, we measure fair value on a recurring basis using valuation models that use primarily market observable inputs, such as yield curves.  We classify these instruments as Level 2.  Refer to Note 10 for additional information on our derivative financial instruments.

The table below presents the recorded amount of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2013.

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities are reasonable estimates of their fair values because of the short maturity of these financial instruments.

We estimated the fair value of our debt based on our incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements with the same remaining maturity and on the discounted estimated future cash payments to be made for other debt.  The discount rates used approximate current lending rates for loans or groups of loans with similar maturities and credit quality, assumes the debt is outstanding through maturity and considers the debt’s collateral (if applicable).  Since such amounts are estimates that are based on limited available market information for similar transactions, there can be no assurance that the disclosed value of any financial instrument could be realized by immediate settlement of the instrument.  Fixed rate debt (including variable rate debt swapped to fixed through derivatives) with carrying values of $629.7 million and $456.3 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, have fair values of approximately $630.2 million and $455.4 million, respectively.  Variable rate debt’s fair value is estimated to be the carrying values of $83.1 million and $85.0 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. We classify our debt as level 2.

The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for our assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis:

Net Real Estate

Our net investment in real estate, including any identifiable intangible assets, is subject to impairment testing on a nonrecurring basis.  To estimate fair value, we use discounted cash flow models that include assumptions of the discount rates that market participants would use in pricing the asset.  To the extent impairment has occurred, we charge to expense the excess of the carrying value of the property over its estimated fair value.  We classify impaired real estate assets as nonrecurring Level 3.

Equity Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

Our equity investments in unconsolidated joint ventures are subject to impairment testing on a nonrecurring basis if a decline in the fair value of the investment below the carrying amount is determined to be a decline that is other-than-temporary.  To estimate the fair value of properties held by unconsolidated entities, we use cash flow models, discount rates, and capitalization rates based upon assumptions of the rates that market participants would use in pricing the asset.  To the extent other-than-temporary impairment has occurred, we charge to expense the excess of the carrying value of the equity investment over its estimated fair value.  We classify other-than-temporarily impaired equity investments in unconsolidated entities as nonrecurring Level 3.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Financial Instruments	Derivative Financial Instruments
	We utilize interest rate swap agreements for risk management purposes to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on our variable rate debt.  On the date we enter into an interest rate swap, the derivative is designated as a hedge against the variability of cash flows that are to be paid in connection with a recognized liability.  Subsequent changes in the fair value of a derivative designated as a cash flow hedge that is determined to be highly effective are recorded in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) until earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows of the hedged transaction.  The differential between fixed and variable rates to be paid or received is accrued, as interest rates change, and recognized currently as interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.  We assess effectiveness of our cash flow hedges both at inception and on an ongoing basis.  Our cash flow hedges become ineffective if critical terms of the hedging instrument and the debt do not perfectly match such as notional amounts, settlement dates, reset dates and calculation period.
	At September 30, 2013, we had five interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $185.0 million that were designated as cash flow hedges.  The agreements provided for swapping one-month LIBOR interest rates ranging from 1.2% to 2.0% on our $75.0 million, $60.0 million, and $50.0 million unsecured term loans and have expirations ranging from April 2016 to May 2020.

Share-based Compensation Plans	Share-based Compensation Plans
	As of September 30, 2013, we have one share-based compensation plan in effect.  The 2012 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2012 LTIP”) under which our compensation committee may grant, subject to the Company’s performance conditions as specified by the compensation committee, restricted shares, restricted share units, options and other awards to trustees, officers and other key employees.  The 2012 LTIP allows us to issue up to 2,000,000 shares of our common stock, units or stock options, of which 1,665,314 remain available for issuance.
	In addition, as of September 30, 2013, we had 190,993 share awards that were granted under plans which terminated when the 2012 LTIP became effective.  These awards have various expiration dates through June 2017.
	We recognized share-based compensation expense of $2.7 million and $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we made the following grants:
	•	25,688 shares of restricted stock to non-employee trustees that vest over one year;
	•	restricted stock related to the 2010 performance-based units.  The measurement period was January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2012 and measured our three-year shareholder return compared to our peer group.  Our rank in comparison to the peer group resulted in a grant of 189,178 shares of restricted stock.  Per the plan 50% vested on the date of the grant and the balance vest on the first anniversary of the date of the grant;
	•	91,710 shares of service-based restricted stock that vest over five years. The service-based awards are valued based on our closing stock price as of the grant date of March 1, 2013 and the expense is recognized on a graded vesting basis; and
	•	performance-based cash awards that are earned subject to a future performance measurement based on a three-year shareholder return peer comparison (“the 2013 TSR Grant”).  If the performance criterion is met, the actual value of the grant earned will be determined and 50.0% of the award will be paid in cash immediately while the balance will be paid in cash the following year.
	Pursuant to ASC 718 – Stock Compensation, we determine the grant date fair value of TSR Grants, and any subsequent re-measurements, based upon a Monte Carlo simulation model.   We will recognize the compensation expense ratably over the requisite service period.  We are required to re-value the cash awards at the end of each quarter using the same methodology as was used at the initial grant date and adjust the compensation expense accordingly.  If at the end of the three-year measurement period the performance criteria are not met, compensation expense previously recognized would be reversed.  Of the total recognized compensation expense, $1.1 million and $0.2 million related to the cash awards for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	As of September 30, 2013, we had $5.1 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested restricted shares, options granted under our plans and performance based equity and cash awards.  This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 4.5 years.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Taxes	Taxes
	Income Taxes
	We conduct our operations with the intent of meeting the requirements applicable to a REIT under sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code.  In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we are required to distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, excluding net capital gain, to our shareholders.  As long as we qualify as a REIT, we will generally not be liable for federal corporate income taxes.
	Certain of our operations, including property management and asset management, as well as ownership of certain land, are conducted through our Taxable REIT Subsidiaries (“TRSs”) which allows us to provide certain services and conduct certain activities that are not generally considered as qualifying REIT activities.
	Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the impact of temporary differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the bases of such assets and liabilities as measured by tax laws.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the amount where realization is more likely than not assured after considering all available evidence, including expected taxable earnings and potential tax planning strategies.  Our temporary differences primarily relate to deferred compensation, depreciation, and net operating loss carry forwards.
	As of September 30, 2013, we had a federal and state deferred tax asset of $11.2 million, net of a valuation allowance of $10.9 million.  We believe that it is more likely than not that the results of future operations will generate sufficient taxable income to recognize the net deferred tax assets.  These future operations are primarily dependent upon the profitability of our TRSs, the timing and amounts of gains on land sales, and other factors affecting the results of operations of the TRSs.  The valuation allowances relate to net operating loss carry forwards and tax basis differences where there is uncertainty regarding their realizability.
	We recorded an income tax provision of approximately $1,000 and an income tax benefit of approximately $17,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

	Ramco-Gershenson Properties Trust, together with its subsidiaries (the “Company”), is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) engaged in the business of owning, developing, redeveloping, acquiring, managing and leasing community shopping centers located predominantly in the Eastern, Midwestern and Central regions of the United States.  As of September 30, 2013, our property portfolio consists of 65 wholly owned shopping centers and one office building comprising approximately 12.5 million square feet.  In addition, we are co-investor in and manager of two joint ventures that own portfolios of shopping centers.  We own 20% of Ramco 450 Venture LLC, an entity that owns eight shopping centers comprising approximately 1.7 million square feet.  We own 30% of Ramco/Lion Venture L.P., an entity that owns three shopping centers comprising approximately 0.8 million square feet. We also have ownership interests in three smaller joint ventures that each own a shopping center.  In addition, we own interests in three parcels of land held for development or sale and five parcels of land adjacent to certain of our existing developed properties located in Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Tennessee, and Virginia.  Most of our properties are anchored by supermarkets and/or national chain stores.  The Company’s credit risk, therefore, is concentrated in the retail industry.
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and our majority owned subsidiary, the Operating Partnership, Ramco-Gershenson Properties, L.P. (96.5% and 95.4% owned by the Company at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively), and all wholly-owned subsidiaries, including entities in which we have a controlling financial interest.  We have elected to be a REIT for federal income tax purposes.  All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  The information furnished is unaudited and reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to reflect a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
	The preparation of our unaudited financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and reported amounts that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

	We collect various taxes from tenants and remit these amounts, on a net basis, to the applicable taxing authorities.

	Certain reclassifications of prior period amounts, primarily related to discontinued operations, have been made in the condensed consolidated financial statements in order to conform to the current presentation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In July 2013, the FASB updated ASC 740 "Income Taxes" with ASU 2013-11 "Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carry forward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carry forward Exists." The objective of this update is to reduce the diversity in practice related to the presentation of certain unrecognized tax benefits. The amendments in this update require an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for those instances described above, except in certain situations described in the update. For public entities, ASU 2013-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013 and interim periods with those years. The guidance should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. We are evaluating the impact that this update may have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
	In July 2013, the FASB updated ASC 815 "Derivatives and Hedging" with ASU 2013-10 "Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (of Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes." ASU 2013-10 permits the Overnight Index Swap ("OIS") Rate, also referred to as the Fed Funds effective Swap Rate, to be used as a U.S. benchmark for hedge accounting purposes, in addition to London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and interest rate on direct U.S. Treasury obligations. The guidance also removes the restriction on using different benchmarks for similar hedges. ASU 2013-10 is effective prospectively for qualifying new or re-designated hedges entered into on or after July 17, 2013. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
	In February 2013, the FASB updated ASC 220 “Comprehensive Income” with ASU 2013-2 "Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income."  This update requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, ASU 2013-2 requires an entity to present, either on the face of the income statement or in the notes to financial statements, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The amendments in ASU 2013-2 do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. For public entities, the amendments in ASU 2013-2 are effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this guidance concerns disclosure only and did not have an impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

[1]	In March, 2013 Ramco/Lion Venture LP sold 12 shopping centers to us. The aggregate purchase price for 100% of the shopping centers was $367.4 million resulting in a loss on the sale of $21.5 million to the joint venture. The properties are located in Florida and Michigan. Three properties remain in this joint venture.
[2]	For the three and the nine months ended September 30, 2012, our pro-rata share excludes $33,000 related to the acquisition of the partner's interest in a joint venture.
