Mezzanine Loans Receivable [Abstract]
Mortgage and Mezzanine Loans Receivable	6. Mortgage and Mezzanine Loans Receivable In October 2012, we acquired a 25.0% participation in a mortgage and mezzanine loan on 701 Seventh Avenue. In March 2013, we transferred at par, the 25.0% participation in the mortgage loan to a third party, for $59,375,000 in cash. The transfer did not qualify for sale accounting given our continuing interest in the mezzanine loan. Accordingly, we continued to include the 25.0% participation in the mortgage loan in “mortgage and mezzanine loans receivable” and recorded a $59,375,000 liability in “other liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheet. In January 2014, the mortgage and mezzanine loans were repaid; accordingly, the $59,375,000 asset and liability were eliminated. In March 2014, a $30,000,000 mezzanine loan that was scheduled to mature in January 2015 was repaid. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the carrying amount of mortgage and mezzanine loans receivable was $42,749,000 and $170,972,000, respectively. These loans have a weighted average interest rate of 8.7% and 11.0% at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, and have maturities ranging from November 2014 to May 2016.
