LesseeFinanceLeaseDescription
The Company is a lessor for its residential and retail leases and is a lessee for its corporate headquarters and regional offices and ground leases for land underlying current operating properties or projects under development.  If applicable, lease agreements must be evaluated to determine the accounting treatment as a finance or operating lease in accordance with the new leasing standard.  A lease is classified as a finance lease if it meets any of the following criteria:  (a) Ownership of the underlying asset is transferred to the lessee by the end of the lease term; (b) the lessee has and is reasonably certain to exercise an option to purchase the underlying asset; (c) the lease term is for the major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset; (d) the present value of future minimum lease payments is equal to substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset; and (e) the underlying asset is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease term due to its specialized nature.
