Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	1. Interim Financial Statements Principles of Consolidation - The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Kimco Realty Corporation and subsidiaries, (the “Company”). The Company’s subsidiaries include 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 presented 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 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (the “10-K”), as certain disclosures in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2015, 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 condensed consolidated financial statements (see Footnotes 4, 9 and 12). 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. Earnings Per Share - The following table sets forth the reconciliation of earnings and the weighted average number of shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share (amounts presented in thousands except per share data): Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 201 4 2015 2014 Computation of Basic Earnings Per Share: Income from continuing operations $ 53,419 $ 105,451 $ 435,288 $ 310,049 Gain on sale of operating properties, net of tax 27,665 - 86,219 389 Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests (3,512 ) (2,601 ) (6,518 ) (13,899 ) Discontinued operations attributable to noncontrolling interests - (2 ) - 7,427 Preferred stock dividends (14,573 ) (14,573 ) (43,719 ) (43,720 ) Income from continuing operations available to the common shareholders 62,999 88,275 471,270 260,246 Earnings attributable to participating securities (405 ) (431 ) (2,178 ) (1,292 ) Income from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders 62,594 87,844 469,092 258,954 Income/(loss) from discontinued operations attributable to the Company - 91,860 (75 ) 67,254 Net income attributable to the Company’s common shareholders for basic earnings per share $ 62,594 $ 179,704 $ 469,017 $ 326,208 Weighted average common shares outstanding 411,487 409,326 411,202 408,868 Basic Earnings Per Share Attributable to the Company’s Common Shareholders: Income from continuing operations $ 0.15 $ 0.21 $ 1.14 $ 0.63 Income from discontinued operations - 0.23 - 0.17 Net income attributable to the Company $ 0.15 $ 0.44 $ 1.14 $ 0.80 Computation of Diluted Earnings Per Share: Income from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders $ 62,594 $ 87,844 $ 469,092 $ 258,954 Income/(loss) from discontinued operations attributable to the Company - 91,860 (75 ) 67,254 Distributions on convertible units - 130 446 393 Net income attributable to the Company’s common shareholders for diluted earnings per share $ 62,594 $ 179,834 $ 469,463 $ 326,601 Weighted average common shares outstanding – basic 411,487 409,326 411,202 408,868 Effect of dilutive securities (a): Equity awards 1,199 1,052 1,337 1,092 Assumed conversion of convertible units - 723 723 727 Shares for diluted earnings per common share 412,686 411,101 413,262 410,687 Diluted Earnings Per Share Attributable to the Company’s Common Shareholders: Income from continuing operations $ 0.15 $ 0.21 $ 1.14 $ 0.63 Income from discontinued operations - 0.23 - 0.17 Net income attributable to the Company $ 0.15 $ 0.44 $ 1.14 $ 0.80 (a) For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , 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 5,963,010 and 8, 839 ,578 stock options that were not dilutive at September 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. The Company's unvested restricted share awards and convertible units (the “Participating securities”) contain non-forfeitable rights to distributions or distribution equivalents. The impact of the Participating securities on earnings per share has been calculated using the two-class method whereby earnings are allocated to the Participating securities based on dividends declared and the Participating securities rights in undistributed earnings. New Accounting Pronouncements – In September 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-16: Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments (“ASU 2015-16”), which eliminates the requirement to restate prior period financial statements for measurement period adjustments. The new guidance requires that the cumulative impact of a measurement period adjustment (including the impact on prior periods) be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment is identified. ASU 2015-16 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2015-16 beginning in its third quarter ended September 30, 2015 (see Footnote 2). The adoption of ASU 2015-16 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Topic 835): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU 2015-03”). The amendments in ASU 2015-03 require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this update. The amendments in ASU 2015-03 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2015-03 beginning in its fiscal year 2015 (see Footnote 9). In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15: Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements (“ASU 2015-15”) providing guidance regarding the presentation and subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements. Given the absence of authoritative guidance on this matter, the SEC staff would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on that line-of-credit arrangement. The adoption of ASU 2015-03 and ASU 2015-15 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis (“ASU 2015-02”). ASU 2015-02 focuses to minimize situations under previously existing guidance in which a reporting entity was required to consolidate another legal entity in which that reporting entity did not have: (1) the ability through contractual rights to act primarily on its own behalf; (2) ownership of the majority of the legal entity's voting rights; or (3) the exposure to a majority of the legal entity's economic benefits. ASU 2015-02 affects reporting entities that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. All legal entities are subject to reevaluation under the revised consolidation model. ASU 2015-02 will be effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2015-02 will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”), which requires management to evaluate, at each annual and interim reporting period, whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued and provide related disclosures. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods thereafter, early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-15 to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued 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 was anticipated to be effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption was not permitted. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date (“ASU 2015-14”), which delayed the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year making it effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted as of the original effective date. 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. The Company adopted ASU 2014-08 beginning January 1, 2015 and appropriately applied the guidance prospectively to disposals of its operating properties. Prior to January 1, 2015, properties identified as held-for-sale and/or disposed of were presented in discontinued operations for all periods presented. The adoption and implementation of this ASU resulted in the operations of certain current period dispositions in the ordinary course of business to be classified within continuing operations on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or cash flows. The disclosures required by this ASU have been incorporated in the notes included herein.

The Company evaluated this transaction pursuant to the FASB’s Consolidation guidance and as a result, recognized a loss on change in control of interest of $0.2 million resulting from the fair value adjustment associated with the Company’s previously held equity interest, which is reflected in the purchase price above in Other. (2) The Company acquired from its partner the remaining ownership interest in 39 properties that were held in a joint venture in which the Company had a 33.3% noncontrolling interest. The Company evaluated this transaction pursuant to the FASB’s Consolidation guidance and as a result, recognized a gain on change in control of interest of $140.0 million resulting from the fair value adjustment associated with the Company’s previously held equity interest, which is reflected in the purchase price above in Other. (3) The Company acquired from its partner the remaining ownership interest in a property that was held in a joint venture in which the Company had a 20.0% noncontrolling interest. The Company evaluated this transaction pursuant to the FASB’s Consolidation guidance and as a result, recognized a gain on change in control of interest of $6.3 million resulting from the fair value adjustment associated with the Company’s previously held equity interest, which is reflected in the purchase price above in Other. The purchase price for these acquisitions has been preliminarily allocated to real estate and related intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as applicable, in accordance with our accounting policies for business combinations. The purchase price allocations and related accounting will be finalized upon completion of the Company’s valuation studies. Accordingly, the fair value allocated to these assets and liabilities are subject to revision. The Company records allocation adjustments when purchase price allocations are finalized. The aggregate purchase price of the properties acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, has been allocated as follows (in thousands): Preliminary Allocation Allocation Adjustments (*) Revised Allocation a s of September 30, 2015 Land $ 417,566 $ (37,799 ) $ 379,767 Buildings 876,329 78,622 954,951 Above Market Rents 32,025 (1,776 ) 30,249 Below Market Rents (67,356 ) 4,849 (62,507 ) In-Place Leases 156,177 (54,040 ) 102,137 Building Improvements 135,533 1,901 137,434 Tenant Improvements 23,733 8,243 31,976 Mortgage Fair Value Adjustment (22,124 ) - (22,124 ) Other Assets 3,027 - 3,027 Other Liabilities (166 ) - (166 ) $ 1,554,744 $ - $ 1,554,744 * In accordance with the Company’s adoption of ASU 2015-16, which eliminates the requirement to restate prior period financial statements for measurement period adjustments relating to purchase price allocations, the Company, during September 2015, adjusted the preliminary allocation amounts recorded for properties acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The impact of these allocation adjustments on the Company’s tangible and intangible assets and liabilities are reflected in the table above. In addition, these allocation adjustments resulted in an increase to Depreciation and amortization expense of $5.8 million and a reduction to Revenues from rental properties of $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, which related to the six months ended June 30, 2015. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company acquired four land parcels, in separate transactions, for an aggregate purchase price of $37.5 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire the remaining 50.0% interest in a property previously held in a joint venture in which the Company had a noncontrolling interest for a gross purchase price of $23.0 million. Upon signing this contract, which is expected to close in January 2016, the Company effectively gained control of the entity and is entitled to all economics and risk of loss and as such, the Company now consolidates this property pursuant to the FASB’s Consolidation guidance. Additionally, as the Company is required to purchase the partners interest at a fixed and determinable price in January 2016, the Company has recognized $11.5 million within Other liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2015. Based upon the Company’s intent to redevelop a portion of the property, the Company allocated $8.4 million of the gross purchase price to Real estate under development on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the remaining $14.6 million was allocated to Operating real estate on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company acquired the remaining interest in a previously consolidated joint venture for $30.5 million. The Company continues to consolidate this entity as there was no change in control from this transaction. The purchase of the remaining interest resulted in a decrease in noncontrolling interest of $25.0 million and a decrease of $5.4 million to the Company’s Paid-in capital. Dispositions – During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company disposed of 74 operating properties and six out parcels, in separate transactions, for an aggregate sales price of $276.3 million. These transactions resulted in an aggregate gain of $86.2 million, after income tax expense and aggregate impairment charges of $2.2 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company obtained a controlling ownership interest in a property that was held in a preferred equity investment in which the Company had a noncontrolling interest and as a result consolidated the property. The property was subsequently sold for $18.7 million, including $16.3 million in mortgage debt, at no gain or loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. At September 30, 2015, the Company had three properties classified as held-for-sale at a carrying amount of $23.4 million, net of accumulated depreciation of $10.0 million, which are included in Other assets on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The book value of these properties did not exceed their estimated fair value, less costs to sell, and as such no impairment charges were recognized. The Company’s determination of the fair value of these properties was based upon executed contracts of sale with third parties. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2014-08, the Company reported the operations and financial results of properties held for sale and operating properties sold as Discontinued operations in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Upon the adoption of ASU 2014-08 on January 1, 2015, operations of properties held-for-sale and operating properties sold are reported in income from continuing operations as they do not represent a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. Impairment Charges - During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recognized aggregate impairment charges of $27.9 million which are included in Impairment charges under Operating expenses on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. These impairment charges consist of (i) $2.2 million related to the sale of certain operating properties, as discussed above, (ii) $19.6 million related to adjustments to property carrying values for which the Company has decided to market for sale as part of its active capital recycling program and as such has adjusted the anticipated hold periods for such properties, (iii) $5.3 million related to certain investments in other real estate investments and (iv) $0.8 million related to marketable debt securities investment. The Company’s estimated fair value on the properties pending disposition were determined based upon estimated sales price and appraisals. (See Footnote 11 for fair value disclosure).

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]
Disposal Groups, Including Discontinued Operations, Disclosure [Text Block]	3. Discontinued Operations During 2014 and prior to the Company’s adoption of ASU 2014-08 on January 1, 2015, as further discussed in Note 2, operations of properties held-for-sale and assets sold during the period were classified as discontinued operations. The results of these discontinued operations are included as a separate component of income on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income under the caption “Discontinued operations”. This reporting has resulted in certain reclassifications of 2014 financial statement amounts. Since adoption of ASU 2014-08 individual property dispositions will no longer qualify as a discontinued operation under the new guidance. The components of income and expense relating to discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 are shown below. These include the results of operations through the date of each respective sale for properties sold during 2014 and the operations for the applicable period for assets classified as held-for-sale as of December 31, 2014 (in thousands): Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 2014 2015 2014 Discontinued operations: Revenues from rental property $ - $ 14,566 $ 124 $ 65,594 Rental property expenses - (3,824 ) (49 ) (16,724 ) Depreciation and amortization - (3,488 ) - (14,606 ) Provision for doubtful accounts, net - 38 (57 ) (708 ) Interest expense, net - (330 ) - (1,111 ) Other expense, net - 116 (12 ) (18 ) Income from discontinued operating properties, before income taxes - 7,078 6 32,427 Impairment of property carrying value, net, before income taxes - (4,490 ) (82 ) (78,645 ) Gain on disposition of operating properties, net, before income taxes - 99,145 - 129,435 (Provision)/benefit for income taxes, net - (9,875 ) 1 (8,536 ) Income/(loss) from discontinued operating properties - 91,858 (75 ) 74,681 Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests - 2 - (7,427 ) Income/(loss) from discontinued operations attributable to the Company $ - $ 91,860 $ (75 ) $ 67,254

Investments And Advances In Real Estate Joint Ventures [Text Block]	4. Investments and Advances in Real Estate Joint Ventures The Company and its subsidiaries have investments in and advances to various real estate joint ventures. These joint ventures are engaged primarily in the operation of shopping centers which are either owned or held under long-term operating leases. The Company and the joint venture partners have joint approval rights for major decisions, including those regarding property operations. As such, the Company holds noncontrolling interests in these joint ventures and accounts for them under the equity method of accounting. The table below presents joint venture investments for which the Company held an ownership interest at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in millions, except number of properties): As of September 30, 2015 As of December 31, 2014 Venture Ownership Interest Number of Properties GLA Gross Real Estate The Company's Investment Ownership Interest Number of Properties GLA Gross Real Estate The Company's Investment Prudential Investment Program (“KimPru” and “KimPru II”) (1) (2) 15.0 % 55 9.9 $ 2,596.9 $ 176.4 15.0 % 60 10.6 $ 2,728.9 $ 178.6 Kimco Income Opportunity Portfolio (“KIR”) (2) 48.6 % 50 10.9 1,428.5 135.5 48.6 % 54 11.5 1,488.2 152.1 Kimstone (2) (3) - - - - - 33.3 % 39 5.6 1,098.7 98.1 BIG Shopping Centers (2) 50.1 % 5 0.9 121.9 - 50.1 % 6 1.0 151.6 - The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (“CPP”) (2) 55.0 % 7 2.4 518.8 194.4 55.0 % 7 2.4 504.0 188.9 Other Institutional Programs (2) Various 53 1.8 414.2 18.9 Various 53 1.8 413.8 11.0 RioCan 50.0 % 41 8.5 955.2 121.3 50.0 % 45 9.3 1,205.8 159.8 Latin America Various 9 - 57.7 15.3 Various 13 0.1 91.2 24.4 Other Joint Venture Programs Various 53 8.7 1,180.6 171.9 Various 60 9.5 1,401.2 224.3 Total 273 43.1 $ 7,273.8 $ 833.7 337 51.8 $ 9,083.4 $ 1,037.2 (1) This venture represents four separate joint ventures, with four separate accounts managed by Prudential Real Estate Investors (“PREI”), three of these ventures are collectively referred to as KimPru and the remaining venture is referred to as KimPru II. (2) The Company manages these joint venture investments and, where applicable, earns acquisition fees, leasing commissions, property management fees, asset management fees and construction management fees. (3) During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company purchased the remaining 66.7% interest in the 39-property Kimstone portfolio from Blackstone for a gross purchase price of $1.4 billion, including the assumption of $638.0 million in mortgage debt. The table below presents the Company’s share of net income/(loss) for the above investments which is included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in Equity in income of joint ventures, net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 (in millions): Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 2014 2015 2014 KimPru and KimPru II (1) $ (0.2 ) $ 2.6 $ 3.3 $ 7.7 KIR (4) 8.5 6.5 31.6 19.4 Kimstone - 1.3 0.7 0.6 BIG Shopping Centers 0.2 1.0 0.4 2.6 CPP 2.2 2.1 7.1 5.2 Other Institutional Programs 0.1 2.6 0.4 4.0 RioCan 5.8 7.7 72.7 23.0 Latin America (0.2 ) 0.8 (1.3 ) 35.3 Other Joint Venture Programs (2) (3) (5) (5.5 ) 27.2 15.9 52.3 Total $ 10.9 $ 51.8 $ 130.8 $ 150.1 (1) During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, KimPru recognized aggregate impairment charges related to three properties which KimPru anticipates selling or being foreclosed on within the next year, therefore effectively shortening its anticipated hold period for these assets which resulted in the expected future cash flows being less than the carrying value. The Company’s share of these impairment charges was $2.8 million. (2) During September 2013, the Intown portfolio was sold and the Company maintained its guarantee on a portion of debt that was assumed by the buyer at closing. The transaction resulted in a deferred gain to the Company of $21.7 million due to the Company’s continued involvement through its guarantee of the debt. On February 24, 2015, the outstanding debt balance was fully repaid by the buyer and as such, the Company was relieved of its related commitments and guarantee. As a result, the Company recognized the deferred gain of $21.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. (3) During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, three joint ventures in which the Company holds noncontrolling interests recognized impairment charges relating to the pending sale of two properties and the pending foreclosure of one property. The Company’s share of these impairment charges was $9.8 million, before income tax benefit. (4) During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, KIR recognized aggregate impairment charges of $5.0 million, of which the Company’s share was $2.8 million, related to two properties which KIR anticipates selling within the next year, therefore effectively shortening its anticipated hold period for these assets which resulted in the expected future cash flows being less than the carrying value. (5) During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company received a distribution of $15.4 million from a joint venture that was in excess of its carrying value and as such, the Company recognized this amount as equity in income. The following table provides a summary of properties and land parcels disposed of through the Company’s real estate joint ventures or transferred to joint venture partners during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. These transactions resulted in an aggregate net gain to the Company of $61.7 million and $59.5 million, before income taxes, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and is included in Equity in income of joint ventures, net on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income: Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 Number of properties Number of land parcels Aggregate sales price (in millions) KimPru and KimPru II 5 1 $ 84.0 KIR 4 - $ 72.6 RioCan 4 - $ 204.2 Latin America 4 9 $ 16.2 Other Joint Venture Programs (1) 6 - $ 123.7 (1) The Company acquired the remaining interest in two of these properties.

As of September 30, 2015, the Company’s net investment under the Preferred Equity Program was $198.1 million relating to 422 properties, including 383 net leased properties. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company earned $16.5 million from its preferred equity investments, including $9.2 million in profit participation earned from seven capital transactions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company earned $17.5 million from its preferred equity investments, including $3.7 million in profit participation earned from three capital transactions. Kimsouth - Kimsouth Realty Inc. (“Kimsouth”) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. KRS AB Acquisition, LLC (the “ABS Venture”) was a wholly owned subsidiary of Kimsouth that has a noncontrolling interest in AB Acquisition, LLC (“AB Acquisition”), a joint venture which owns Albertsons Inc. (“Albertsons”) and NAI Group Holdings Inc. (“NAI”). The Company holds a controlling interest in the ABS Venture and consolidates this entity. During January 2015, two new noncontrolling members were admitted into the ABS Venture, including Colony Capital, Inc. and affiliates (“Colony”), after which the Company contributed $85.3 million and the two noncontrolling members contributed an aggregate $105.0 million, of which Colony contributed $100.0 million, to the ABS Venture, which was subsequently contributed to AB Acquisition to facilitate the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of Safeway Inc. (“Safeway”). As a result of this transaction, the ABS Venture now holds a combined 14.35% interest in AB Acquisition, of which the Company holds a combined 9.8% ownership interest and Colony holds a 4.3% ownership interest. Richard B. Saltzman, a member of the Board of Directors of the Company, is the chief executive officer, president and a director of Colony Capital, Inc. The combined company of Albertsons, NAI and Safeway operates 2,230 grocery stores across 34 states. The Company continues to consolidate the ABS Venture as there was no change in control following the admission of the members described above. As such, the Company recorded (i) the gross investment in Safeway of $190.3 million in Other assets on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and accounts for this investment under the cost method of accounting (ii) a noncontrolling interest of $65.0 million and (iii) an increase in Paid-in capital of $24.0 million, net of a deferred tax effect of $16.0 million, representing the amount contributed by the newly admitted members in excess of their proportionate share of the historic book value of the net assets of ABS Venture.

Disclosure Text Block [Abstract]
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block]	6. Variable Interest Entities (“VIE”) Consolidated Ground-Up Development Projects Included within the Company’s ground-up development projects at September 30, 2015, is an entity that is a VIE, for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. This entity was established to develop real estate property to hold as a long-term investment. The Company’s involvement with this entity is through its majority ownership and management of the property. This entity was deemed a VIE 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 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 the primary beneficiary of this VIE as a result of its controlling financial interest. At September 30, 2015, total assets of this ground-up development VIE were $78.1 million and total liabilities were $0.4 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 this ground-up development VIE, aggregating $32.8 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 September 30, 2015, is an 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 September 30, 2015, the Company’s investment in this VIE was a negative $7.4 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 $7.4 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.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Debt Disclosure [Text Block]	9. Notes and Mortgages Payable In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. Beginning in its fiscal year 2015, the Company elected to early adopt ASU 2015-03 and appropriately retrospectively applied the guidance to its Notes Payable and Mortgages Payable to all periods presented. Unamortized debt issuance costs of $25.9 million and $3.1 million are included in Notes Payable and Mortgages Payable, respectively, as of September 30, 2015, and $20.4 million and $3.9 million of unamortized debt issuance costs are included in Notes Payable and Mortgages Payable, respectively, as of December 31, 2014 (previously included in Other assets on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets). Notes Payable - During January 2015, the Company entered into a new $650.0 million unsecured term loan (“Term Loan”) which is scheduled to mature in January 2017 (with three one-year extension options at the Company’s discretion) and accrues interest at a spread (currently 95 basis points) to LIBOR or at the Company’s option at a base rate as defined per the agreement (1.15% at September 30, 2015). The proceeds from the Term Loan were used to repay the Company’s $400.0 million term loan, which was scheduled to mature in April 2015 (with two additional one-year extension options) and bore interest at LIBOR plus 105 basis points, and for general corporate purposes. Pursuant to the terms of the credit agreement for the Term Loan, the Company, among other things, is subject to covenants requiring the maintenance of (i) maximum indebtedness ratios and (ii) minimum interest and fixed charge coverage ratios. The Company was in compliance with all of the covenants as of September 30, 2015. During March 2015, the Company issued $350.0 million of 30-year Senior Unsecured Notes at an interest rate of 4.25% payable semi-annually in arrears which are scheduled to mature in April 2045. The Company used the net proceeds from the issuance of $342.7 million, after the underwriting discount and related offering costs, for general corporate purposes including to pre-fund near-term debt maturities and partially reduce borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility. During October 2015, the Company issued $500.0 million of seven-year Senior Unsecured Notes at an interest rate of 3.400% payable semi-annually in arrears which are scheduled to mature in November 2022.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]	11. 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): September 30, 2015 December 31, 201 4 Carrying Amounts Estimated Fair Value Carrying Amounts Estimated Fair Value Marketable securities (1) $ 12,189 $ 12,189 $ 90,235 $ 90,035 Notes payable (2) $ 3,852,640 $ 3,940,295 $ 3,171,742 $ 3,313,936 Mortgages payable (3) $ 1,645,946 $ 1,680,714 $ 1,424,228 $ 1,481,138 (1) As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company determined that $10.5 million and $87.7 million, respectively, of the Marketable securities estimated fair value were classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy and the remaining $1.7 million and $2.3 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 tables below present the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall (in thousands): Balance at September 30, 2015 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Marketable equity securities $ 10,533 $ 10,533 $ - $ - Liabilities: Interest rate swaps (1) $ 1,879 $ - $ 1,879 $ - Balance at December 31, 2014 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Marketable equity securities $ 87,659 $ 87,659 $ - $ - Liabilities: Interest rate swaps (1) $ 1,404 $ - $ 1,404 $ - (1) Included in Other liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets Assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, are as follows (in thousands): Balance at September 30, 201 5 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Real estate $ 23,838 $ - $ - $ 23,838 Balance at December 31, 2014 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Real estate $ 80,270 $ - $ - $ 80,270 During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recognized impairment charges of $28.0 million of which $0.1 million, before noncontrolling interests and income taxes, is included in discontinued operations. These impairment charges consist of (i) $21.9 million related to adjustments to property carrying values, (ii) $5.3 million related to certain investments in other real estate investments and (iii) $0.8 million related to marketable debt securities investment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recognized impairment charges of $107.0 million of which $78.6 million, before noncontrolling interests and income taxes, is included in discontinued operations. These impairment charges consist of (i) $102.2 million related to adjustments to property carrying values and (ii) $4.8 million related to a cost method investment. The Company’s estimated fair values, as they relate to property carrying values and investments in other real estate investments were primarily based upon estimated sales prices from third party offers based on signed contracts and appraisals or letters of intent for which the Company does not have access to the unobservable inputs used to determine these estimated fair values. Based on these inputs the Company determined that its valuation of these investments was classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Prior Plan provides for a maximum of 47,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued for qualified and non-qualified stock options and restricted stock grants. Effective May 1, 2012, the 2010 Plan provides for a maximum of 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued for qualified and non-qualified stock options and other awards, plus the number of shares of common stock which are or become available for issuance under the Prior Plan and which are not thereafter issued under the Prior Plan, subject to certain conditions. Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors at its sole discretion, stock options granted under the Plans generally vest ratably over a range of three to five years, expire ten years from the date of grant and are exercisable at the market price on the date of grant. Restricted stock grants generally vest (i) 100% on the fourth or fifth anniversary of the grant, (ii) ratably over three, four and five years or (iii) over ten years at 20% per year commencing after the fifth year. Performance share awards, which vest over a period of one to three years, may provide a right to receive shares of the Company’s common stock or restricted stock based on the Company’s performance relative to its peers, as defined, or based on other performance criteria as determined by the Board of Directors. In addition, the Plans provide for the granting of certain stock options and restricted stock to each of the Company’s non-employee directors (the “Independent Directors”) and permit such Independent Directors to elect to receive deferred stock awards in lieu of directors’ fees. The Company recognized expenses associated with its equity awards of $15.3 million and $14.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

At September 30, 2015, the Company had a net $14.6 million of unrealized cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment (“CTA”) losses relating to its foreign entity investments in Canada and Chile. The CTA is comprised of $3.7 million of unrealized gains relating to its Canadian investments and $18.3 million of unrealized loss relating to its Chilean investment. CTA results 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 generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), the Company is required to release CTA balances into earnings when the Company has substantially liquidated its investment in a foreign entity. The Company may, in the near term, liquidate its investment in Chile, 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 include 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 presented 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 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (the “10-K”), as certain disclosures in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2015, 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 condensed consolidated financial statements (see Footnotes 4, 9 and 12).
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.
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Earnings Per Share - The following table sets forth the reconciliation of earnings and the weighted average number of shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share (amounts presented in thousands except per share data): Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 201 4 2015 2014 Computation of Basic Earnings Per Share: Income from continuing operations $ 53,419 $ 105,451 $ 435,288 $ 310,049 Gain on sale of operating properties, net of tax 27,665 - 86,219 389 Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests (3,512 ) (2,601 ) (6,518 ) (13,899 ) Discontinued operations attributable to noncontrolling interests - (2 ) - 7,427 Preferred stock dividends (14,573 ) (14,573 ) (43,719 ) (43,720 ) Income from continuing operations available to the common shareholders 62,999 88,275 471,270 260,246 Earnings attributable to participating securities (405 ) (431 ) (2,178 ) (1,292 ) Income from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders 62,594 87,844 469,092 258,954 Income/(loss) from discontinued operations attributable to the Company - 91,860 (75 ) 67,254 Net income attributable to the Company’s common shareholders for basic earnings per share $ 62,594 $ 179,704 $ 469,017 $ 326,208 Weighted average common shares outstanding 411,487 409,326 411,202 408,868 Basic Earnings Per Share Attributable to the Company’s Common Shareholders: Income from continuing operations $ 0.15 $ 0.21 $ 1.14 $ 0.63 Income from discontinued operations - 0.23 - 0.17 Net income attributable to the Company $ 0.15 $ 0.44 $ 1.14 $ 0.80 Computation of Diluted Earnings Per Share: Income from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders $ 62,594 $ 87,844 $ 469,092 $ 258,954 Income/(loss) from discontinued operations attributable to the Company - 91,860 (75 ) 67,254 Distributions on convertible units - 130 446 393 Net income attributable to the Company’s common shareholders for diluted earnings per share $ 62,594 $ 179,834 $ 469,463 $ 326,601 Weighted average common shares outstanding – basic 411,487 409,326 411,202 408,868 Effect of dilutive securities (a): Equity awards 1,199 1,052 1,337 1,092 Assumed conversion of convertible units - 723 723 727 Shares for diluted earnings per common share 412,686 411,101 413,262 410,687 Diluted Earnings Per Share Attributable to the Company’s Common Shareholders: Income from continuing operations $ 0.15 $ 0.21 $ 1.14 $ 0.63 Income from discontinued operations - 0.23 - 0.17 Net income attributable to the Company $ 0.15 $ 0.44 $ 1.14 $ 0.80 (a) For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , 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 5,963,010 and 8, 839 ,578 stock options that were not dilutive at September 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. The Company's unvested restricted share awards and convertible units (the “Participating securities”) contain non-forfeitable rights to distributions or distribution equivalents. The impact of the Participating securities on earnings per share has been calculated using the two-class method whereby earnings are allocated to the Participating securities based on dividends declared and the Participating securities rights in undistributed earnings.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	New Accounting Pronouncements – In September 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-16: Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments (“ASU 2015-16”), which eliminates the requirement to restate prior period financial statements for measurement period adjustments. The new guidance requires that the cumulative impact of a measurement period adjustment (including the impact on prior periods) be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment is identified. ASU 2015-16 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2015-16 beginning in its third quarter ended September 30, 2015 (see Footnote 2). The adoption of ASU 2015-16 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Topic 835): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU 2015-03”). The amendments in ASU 2015-03 require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this update. The amendments in ASU 2015-03 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2015-03 beginning in its fiscal year 2015 (see Footnote 9). In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15: Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements (“ASU 2015-15”) providing guidance regarding the presentation and subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements. Given the absence of authoritative guidance on this matter, the SEC staff would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on that line-of-credit arrangement. The adoption of ASU 2015-03 and ASU 2015-15 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis (“ASU 2015-02”). ASU 2015-02 focuses to minimize situations under previously existing guidance in which a reporting entity was required to consolidate another legal entity in which that reporting entity did not have: (1) the ability through contractual rights to act primarily on its own behalf; (2) ownership of the majority of the legal entity's voting rights; or (3) the exposure to a majority of the legal entity's economic benefits. ASU 2015-02 affects reporting entities that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. All legal entities are subject to reevaluation under the revised consolidation model. ASU 2015-02 will be effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2015-02 will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”), which requires management to evaluate, at each annual and interim reporting period, whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued and provide related disclosures. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods thereafter, early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-15 to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued 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 was anticipated to be effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption was not permitted. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date (“ASU 2015-14”), which delayed the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year making it effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted as of the original effective date. 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. The Company adopted ASU 2014-08 beginning January 1, 2015 and appropriately applied the guidance prospectively to disposals of its operating properties. Prior to January 1, 2015, properties identified as held-for-sale and/or disposed of were presented in discontinued operations for all periods presented. The adoption and implementation of this ASU resulted in the operations of certain current period dispositions in the ordinary course of business to be classified within continuing operations on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or cash flows. The disclosures required by this ASU have been incorporated in the notes included herein.

[1]	The Company manages these joint venture investments and, where applicable, earns acquisition fees, leasing commissions, property management fees, assetmanagement fees and construction management fees.
[2]	This venture represents four separate joint ventures, with four separate accounts managed by Prudential Real Estate Investors ("PREI"), three of these ventures are collectively referred to as KimPru and the remaining venture is referred to as KimPru II.
[3]	During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, KimPru recognized aggregate impairment charges related to three properties which KimPru anticipates selling or being foreclosed on within the next year, therefore effectively shortening its anticipated hold period for these assets which resulted in the expected future cash flows being less than the carrying value. The Company's share of these impairment charges was $2.8 million.
[4]	During September 2013, the Intown portfolio was sold and the Company maintained its guarantee on a portion of debt that was assumed by the buyer atclosing. The transaction resulted in a deferred gain to the Company of $21.7 million due to the Company's continued involvement through its guarantee of thedebt. On February 24, 2015, the outstanding debt balance was fully repaid by the buyer and as such, the Company was relieved of its related commitments and guarantee. As a result, the Company recognized the deferred gain of $21.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
[5]	During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company received a distribution of $15.4 million from a joint venture that was in excess of its carrying value and as such, the Company recognized this amount as equity in income.
[6]	During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, three joint ventures in which the Company holds noncontrolling interests recognized impairment charges relating to the pending sale of two properties and the pending foreclosure of one property. The Company's share of these impairment charges was $9.8 million, before income tax benefit.
[7]	During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, KIR recognized aggregate impairment charges of $5.0 million, of which the Company's share was $2.8 million, related to two properties which KIR anticipates selling within the next year, therefore effectively shortening its anticipated hold period for these assets which resulted in the expected future cash flows being less than the carrying value.
[8]	The Company acquired from its partner the remaining ownership interest in 39 properties that were held in a joint venture in which the Company had a 33.3%noncontrolling interest. The Company evaluated this transaction pursuant to the FASB's Consolidation guidance and as a result, recognized a gain on change in control of interest of $140.0 million resulting from the fair value adjustment associated with the Company's previously held equity interest, which is reflected in the purchase price above in Other.
