. Consolidated Variable Interest Entities

In 2016, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-02 "Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis." We evaluated the application of ASU 2015-02 and concluded that no change was required to our accounting for interests in less than wholly owned joint ventures. However, the Operating Partnership now meets the criteria as a variable interest entity ("VIE"). Our significant asset is our investment in the Operating Partnership, and consequently, substantially all of our assets and liabilities represent those assets and liabilities of the Operating Partnership.

Other VIEs that are consolidated include: Rudgate Village SPE, LLC; Rudgate Clinton SPE, LLC; Rudgate Clinton Estates SPE, LLC (collectively “Rudgate”); and Wildwood Village Mobile Home Park ("Wildwood"). We evaluated our arrangements with these properties under the guidance set forth in FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 810 "Consolidation." We concluded that Rudgate and Wildwood qualify as VIEs as we are the primary beneficiary and hold controlling financial interests in these entities due to our power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entities, as well as our obligation to absorb the most significant losses and our rights to receive significant benefits from these entities. As such, the transactions and accounts of these VIEs are included in our accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.
The following table summarizes the assets and liabilities included in our Consolidated Balance Sheets after appropriate eliminations have been made (in thousands):
