Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling Interests of the Trust

Noncontrolling interests in the accompanying financial statements represent the interests of the common and preferred units in the Operating Partnership not held by the Trust. In addition, noncontrolling interests include third-party ownership interests in consolidated joint venture investments.

Common units

The common units outstanding have the same economic characteristics as common shares of the Trust. The 3,539,075 outstanding common units as of June 30, 2015 not held by the Trust share proportionately in the net income or loss and in any distributions of the Operating Partnership. The common units of the Operating Partnership not held by the Trust are redeemable at any time at the option of the holder. The Trust, as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, may at its option elect to settle the redemption in cash or through the exchange on a one-for-one basis of unregistered common shares of the Trust. The market value of the 3,539,075 outstanding common units based on the closing price of the common shares of the Trust at June 30, 2015 was $114.0 million.
