The Company’s Subsidiaries includes subsidiaries which are wholly-owned, and all entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest, including where the Company has been determined to be a primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) or meets certain criteria of a sole general partner or managing member in accordance with the Consolidation guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  The information furnished in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements 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 the Company's 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 ("10-K"), as certain disclosures in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2014, that would duplicate those included in the 10-K are not included in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
	Subsequent Events -
	The Company has evaluated subsequent events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. (See Footnote 4).
	Income Taxes -
	The Company elected status as a Real Estate Investment Trust (a “REIT”) for federal income tax purposes beginning in its taxable year ended December 31, 1991 and operates in a manner that enables the Company to maintain its status as a REIT.  As a REIT, the Company must distribute at least 90 percent of its taxable income and will not pay federal income taxes on the amount distributed to its shareholders.  Therefore, the Company is not subject to federal income taxes if it distributes 100 percent of its taxable income.   Most states, where the Company holds investments in real estate, conform to the federal rules recognizing REITs.  Certain subsidiaries have made a joint election with the Company to be treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”), which permit the Company to engage in certain business activities in which the REIT may not conduct directly.  A TRS is subject to federal and state income taxes on the income from these activities and the Company includes a provision for taxes in its condensed consolidated financial statements.  The Company is subject to and also includes in its tax provision non-U.S. income taxes on certain investments located in jurisdictions outside the U.S. These investments are held by the Company at the REIT level and not in the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary. Accordingly, the Company does not expect a U.S. income tax impact associated with the repatriation of undistributed earnings from the Company’s foreign subsidiaries.

		(a)	For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the effect of certain convertible units would have an anti-dilutive effect upon the calculation of Income from continuing operations per share.  Accordingly, the impact of such conversion has not been included in the determination of diluted earnings per share calculations.  Additionally, there were 8,952,148 and 9,070,328 stock options that were not dilutive at June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	The Company's unvested restricted share awards contain non-forfeitable rights to distributions or distribution equivalents. The impact of the unvested restricted share awards on earnings per share has been calculated using the two-class method whereby earnings are allocated to the unvested restricted share awards based on dividends declared and the unvested restricted shares' participation rights in undistributed earnings.
	New Accounting Pronouncements –
	In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("ASU 2014-09"). ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model requiring a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In adopting ASU 2014-09, companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
	In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (“ASU 2014-08”). The amendments in ASU 2014-08 change the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modifies related disclosure requirements. The amendments in ASU 2014-08 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-08 will have on future disposals.
	In February 2013, the FASB issued new guidance regarding liabilities, ASU 2013-04, Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date (“ASU 2013-04”), effective retrospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013 and interim periods within those years. The amendments require an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of the guidance is fixed at the reporting date, as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. In addition, the amendments require an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation, as well as other information about the obligations. The adoption of ASU 2013-04 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

		-1	The Company acquired three properties from a joint venture in which the Company has an 11% noncontrolling interest. The Company evaluated this transaction pursuant to the FASB’s Consolidation guidance and as such recognized a gain of $3.7 million from the fair value adjustment associated with the Company’s original ownership due to a change in control, which is reflected in the purchase price above in Other.
		-2	The Company acquired a 65.4% controlling ownership interest in this property and the seller retained a 34.6% noncontrolling interest in the property. The partner has the ability to put its partnership interest to the Company. As such, the Company has recorded the partners share of the property’s fair value of $4.9 million as Redeemable noncontrolling interests on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
		-3	The Company acquired from its partners the remaining ownership interest in a joint venture which holds 12 encumbered properties for which the Company had a 39.1% noncontrolling interest. The Company evaluated this transaction pursuant to the FASB’s Consolidation guidance and as a result, recognized a gain of $65.6 million from the fair value adjustment associated with the Company’s original ownership due to a change in control, which is reflected in the purchase price above in Other. Subsequently, the Company repaid $128.4 million in debt encumbering ten of the properties. Additionally, during June 2014, the Company sold one of the properties to a third party.
	The aggregate purchase price of the properties acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2014, has been preliminarily allocated as follows (in thousands):
	Land		$	257,277
	Buildings			428,521
	Above Market Rents			19,131
	Below Market Rents			(51,359	)

	Other Assets			249
			$	902,900
	Dispositions –
	During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company disposed of 18 operating properties, in separate transactions, for an aggregate sales price of $199.8 million, including five operating properties in Mexico. These transactions, which are included in Discontinued Operations on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, resulted in an aggregate gain of $30.3 million, before income taxes and noncontrolling interests and aggregate impairment charges of $3.1 million, before income taxes and noncontrolling interests.
	Impairment Charges -
	During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recognized aggregate impairment charges of $90.6 million, which are included in Impairment charges under Operating expenses on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. These impairment charges consist of $88.4 million related to adjustments to property carrying values and $2.2 million related to a cost method investment. The adjustments to property carrying values were recognized in connection with the Company’s efforts to market certain properties and management’s assessment as to the likelihood and timing of such potential transactions and the anticipated hold period for such properties. During the second quarter ended June 30, 2014, the Company implemented its plan to accelerate its disposition of certain U.S. properties and in accordance with this strategy the Company identified approximately 150 operating properties to sell within the next 18 months. This plan effectively shortened the Company’s anticipated hold period for these properties and as such caused the Company to recognize impairment charges on 18 consolidated operating properties. (See Footnote 12 for fair value disclosure).
	During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recognized aggregate impairment charges of $25.2 million, which are included in Impairment charges under Operating expenses on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. These impairment charges consist $17.4 million related to adjustments to property carrying values and $7.8 million relating to a cost method investment. The Company’s estimated fair values as it relates to property carrying values were primarily based upon estimated sales prices from third party offers based on signed contracts or letters of intent. The impairment of the cost method investment was based upon a review of the underlying cause of the decline in value, as well as the severity and duration of the decline. As a result of such review, the Company determined that the decline was deemed to be other-than-temporary.

The book value of the other properties did not exceed their estimated fair value, less costs to sell, and as such no impairment charges were recognized.

	6. Variable Interest Entities
	Consolidated Ground-Up Development Projects
	Included within the Company’s ground-up development projects at June 30, 2014, are two entities that are VIEs, for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. These entities were established to develop real estate property to hold as long-term investments.  The Company’s involvement with these entities is through its majority ownership and management of the properties. These entities were deemed VIEs primarily based on the fact that the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional financial support. The initial equity contributed to these entities was not sufficient to fully finance the real estate construction as development costs are funded by the partners throughout the construction period. The Company determined that it was the primary beneficiary of these VIEs as a result of its controlling financial interest.
	At June 30, 2014, total assets of these ground-up development VIEs were $88.2 million and total liabilities were $0.3 million. The classification of these assets is primarily within Real estate under development and the classification of liabilities is primarily within accounts payable and accrued expenses, which is included in Other liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
	Substantially all of the projected development costs to be funded for these ground-up development VIEs, aggregating $35.6 million, will be funded with capital contributions from the Company and by the outside partners, when contractually obligated. The Company has not provided financial support to these VIEs that it was not previously contractually required to provide.
	Unconsolidated Redevelopment Investment
	Included in the Company’s joint venture investments at June 30, 2014, is one unconsolidated joint venture, which is a VIE for which the Company is not the primary beneficiary. This joint venture was primarily established to develop real estate property for long-term investment and was deemed a VIE primarily based on the fact that the equity investment at risk was not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional financial support. The initial equity contributed to this entity was not sufficient to fully finance the real estate construction as development costs are funded by the partners throughout the construction period. The Company determined that it was not the primary beneficiary of this VIE based on the fact that the Company has shared control of this entity along with the entity’s partners and therefore does not have a controlling financial interest.
	As of June 30, 2014, the Company’s investment in this VIE was a negative $11.0 million, due to the fact that the Company had a remaining capital commitment obligation, which is included in Other liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with this VIE is estimated to be $11.0 million, which is the remaining capital commitment obligation. The Company has not provided financial support to this VIE that it was not previously contractually required to provide. All future costs of development will be funded with capital contributions from the Company and the outside partner in accordance with their respective ownership percentages.

	During March 2014, the Company established a new $1.75 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with a group of banks, which is scheduled to expire in March 2018 with two additional six-month options to extend the maturity date at the Company’s discretion to March 2019. This Credit Facility replaced the Company’s existing $1.75 billion unsecured revolving credit facility which was scheduled to mature in October 2015. The new Credit Facility, which can be increased to $2.25 billion through an accordion feature, accrues interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 92.5 basis points on drawn funds. In addition, the Credit Facility includes a $500 million sub-limit which provides the Company the opportunity to borrow in alternative currencies including Canadian dollars, British Pounds Sterling, Japanese Yen or euros. Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Facility, the Company, among other things, is subject to covenants requiring the maintenance of (i) maximum leverage ratios on both unsecured and secured debt and (ii) minimum interest and fixed coverage ratios. As of June 30, 2014, the Credit Facility had a balance of $337.6 million outstanding and $1.1 million appropriated for letters of credit.
	During April 2014, the Company issued $500.0 million of 7-year Senior Unsecured Notes at an interest rate of 3.20% payable semi-annually in arrears which are scheduled to mature in May 1, 2021. The Company used the net proceeds from the offering of $495.4 million after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses, for general corporate purposes including reducing borrowings under the Credit Facility and repayment of maturing debt. In connection with this issuance, the Company entered into a seventh supplemental indenture which, among other things, revised, for all securities created on or after the date of the seventh supplemental indenture, the definition of Unencumbered Total Asset Value, used to determine compliance with certain covenants within the indenture.
	During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company repaid (i) its $100.0 million 5.95% senior unsecured notes, which matured in June 2014 and (ii) its remaining $194.6 million 4.82% senior unsecured notes, which also matured in June 2014.

	12. Fair Value Measurements
	All financial instruments of the Company are reflected in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at amounts which, in management’s estimation based upon an interpretation of available market information and valuation methodologies, reasonably approximate their fair values except those listed below, for which fair values are disclosed.  The valuation method used to estimate fair value for fixed-rate and variable-rate debt is based on discounted cash flow analyses, with assumptions that include credit spreads, market yield curves, trading activity, loan amounts and debt maturities.  The fair values for marketable securities are based on published values, securities dealers’ estimated market values or comparable market sales.  Such fair value estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would be realized upon disposition.
	As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the FASB’s Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).
	The following are financial instruments for which the Company’s estimate of fair value differs from the carrying amounts (in thousands):
		30-Jun-14				31-Dec-13
		Carrying		Estimated		Carrying		Estimated
		Amounts		Fair Value		Amounts		Fair Value
	Marketable securities (1)	$	75,019	$	74,969	$	62,766	$	62,824
	Notes payable (2)	$	3,533,306	$	3,658,419	$	3,186,047	$	3,333,614
	Mortgages payable (3)	$	1,197,065	$	1,254,995	$	1,035,354	$	1,083,801
	(1) As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company determined that $72.2 million and $59.7 million, respectively, of the Marketable securities estimated fair value were classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy and the remaining $2.8 million and $3.1 million, respectively, were classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
	(2) The Company determined that its valuation of Notes payable was classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
	(3) The Company determined that its valuation of Mortgages payable was classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
	The Company has certain financial instruments that must be measured under the FASB’s Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures guidance, including available for sale securities. The Company currently does not have non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
	The table below presents the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall (in thousands):

	During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recognized impairment charges of $100.0 million of which $9.3 million, before noncontrolling interests, is included in discontinued operations. These impairment charges consist of (i) $97.8 million related to adjustments to property carrying values and (ii) $2.2 million related to a cost method investment. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recognized impairment charges of $81.5 million of which $56.3 million, before noncontrolling interests, is included in discontinued operations. These impairment charges consist of (i) $73.7 million related to adjustments to property carrying values based on signed contracts or letters of intent and (ii) $7.8 million related to a cost method investment.
	The Company’s estimated fair value as it relates to the cost method investment, was based upon a discounted cash flow model. The discounted cash flow model includes all estimated cash inflows and outflows over a specified holding period. These cash flows were comprised of unobservable inputs which include forecasted revenues and expenses based upon market conditions and expectations for growth. The capitalization rate of 6.0% and discount rate of 9.1% which were utilized in this model were based upon observable rates that the Company believes to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for the respective investment.
	The Company’s estimated fair values, as it relates to property carrying values were primarily based upon (i) estimated sales prices from third party offers based on signed contracts or letters of intent (this method was used to determine $41.0 million of the $97.8 million in impairments recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2014), for which the Company does not have access to the unobservable inputs used to determine these estimated fair values, and (ii) discounted cash flow models (this method was used to determine $56.8 million of the $97.8 million in impairments recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2014). The discounted cash flow models include all estimated cash inflows and outflows over a specified holding period. These cash flows were comprised of unobservable inputs which include forecasted revenues and expenses based upon market conditions and expectations for growth. The capitalization rates primarily ranging from 5.0% to 15.0% and discount rates primarily ranging from 6.0% to 16.0% which were utilized in the models were based upon observable rates that the Company believes to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for each respective investments.
	Based on these inputs the Company determined that its valuation of these investments was classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. (See Footnote 2 for additional discussion regarding impairment charges).

	At June 30, 2014 the Company had a net $93.7 million, after noncontrolling interests of $5.8 million, of unrealized cumulative translation adjustment (“CTA”) losses relating to its investments in foreign entities. The CTA losses are comprised of $23.3 million of unrealized gains relating to its Canadian investments and $117.0 million of unrealized losses relating to its Latin American investments, $105.7 million of which is related to Mexico. The CTA losses result from currency fluctuations between local currency and the U.S. dollar during the period in which the Company held its investment. CTA amounts are subject to future changes resulting from ongoing fluctuations in the respective foreign currency exchange rates. Under U.S. GAAP, the Company is required to release CTA balances into earnings when the Company has substantially liquidated its investment in a foreign entity. During 2013, the Company began selling properties within its Latin American portfolio. The Company may, in the near term, substantially liquidate all of its investments in this portfolio which will require the then unrealized loss on foreign currency translation to be recognized as a charge against earnings.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Principles of Consolidation -
	The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Kimco Realty Corporation and Subsidiaries, (the “Company”). The Company’s Subsidiaries includes subsidiaries which are wholly-owned, and all entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest, including where the Company has been determined to be a primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) or meets certain criteria of a sole general partner or managing member in accordance with the Consolidation guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  The information furnished in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements 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 the Company's 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 ("10-K"), as certain disclosures in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2014, that would duplicate those included in the 10-K are not included in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Subsequent Events, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Subsequent Events -
	The Company has evaluated subsequent events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Income Taxes -
	The Company elected status as a Real Estate Investment Trust (a “REIT”) for federal income tax purposes beginning in its taxable year ended December 31, 1991 and operates in a manner that enables the Company to maintain its status as a REIT.  As a REIT, the Company must distribute at least 90 percent of its taxable income and will not pay federal income taxes on the amount distributed to its shareholders.  Therefore, the Company is not subject to federal income taxes if it distributes 100 percent of its taxable income.   Most states, where the Company holds investments in real estate, conform to the federal rules recognizing REITs.  Certain subsidiaries have made a joint election with the Company to be treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”), which permit the Company to engage in certain business activities in which the REIT may not conduct directly.  A TRS is subject to federal and state income taxes on the income from these activities and the Company includes a provision for taxes in its condensed consolidated financial statements.  The Company is subject to and also includes in its tax provision non-U.S. income taxes on certain investments located in jurisdictions outside the U.S. These investments are held by the Company at the REIT level and not in the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary. Accordingly, the Company does not expect a U.S. income tax impact associated with the repatriation of undistributed earnings from the Company’s foreign subsidiaries

		(a)	For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the effect of certain convertible units would have an anti-dilutive effect upon the calculation of Income from continuing operations per share.  Accordingly, the impact of such conversion has not been included in the determination of diluted earnings per share calculations.  Additionally, there were 8,952,148 and 9,070,328 stock options that were not dilutive at June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	The Company's unvested restricted share awards contain non-forfeitable rights to distributions or distribution equivalents. The impact of the unvested restricted share awards on earnings per share has been calculated using the two-class method whereby earnings are allocated to the unvested restricted share awards based on dividends declared and the unvested restricted shares' participation rights in undistributed earnings.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	New Accounting Pronouncements –
	In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("ASU 2014-09"). ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model requiring a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In adopting ASU 2014-09, companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
	In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (“ASU 2014-08”). The amendments in ASU 2014-08 change the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modifies related disclosure requirements. The amendments in ASU 2014-08 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-08 will have on future disposals.
	In February 2013, the FASB issued new guidance regarding liabilities, ASU 2013-04, Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date (“ASU 2013-04”), effective retrospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013 and interim periods within those years. The amendments require an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of the guidance is fixed at the reporting date, as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. In addition, the amendments require an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation, as well as other information about the obligations. The adoption of ASU 2013-04 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
