Fair Value Assets Measured On Nonrecurring Basis [Text Block]
Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
The following table presents information for assets measured at an estimated fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the periods presented and still held at the reporting date (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). The estimated fair values for these assets were determined using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).

(1)Impairments on these investments were recognized at estimated fair value determined using the net asset values of the Company’s ownership interest as provided in the financial statements of the investees. Real estate joint ventures were recognized at estimated fair value determined using historical and forecasted information for specific properties, including net operating income, occupancy, and sales levels. The market for these investments has limited activity and price transparency.
Financial Instruments Carrying Amounts And Estimated Fair Value [Table Text Block]
The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments, which were not measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 (dollars in millions). This table excludes any payables or receivables for collateral under repurchase agreements and other transactions. The estimated fair value of the excluded amount approximates carrying value as they equal the amount of cash collateral received/paid.
