Fair Value Measurements
Fair value guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers are defined as follows:
| Tier | Description | |||||||
| Level 1 | Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets | |||||||
| Level 2 | Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable | |||||||
| Level 3 | Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions | |||||||
Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis
The following table sets forth our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

Fair values of interest rate swaps are approximated using Level 2 inputs based on current market data received from financial sources that trade such instruments and are based on prevailing market data and derived from third party proprietary models based on well recognized financial principles including counterparty risks, credit spreads and interest rate projections, as well as reasonable estimates about relevant future market conditions.
Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis
The following table sets forth our assets that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

During the first quarter of 2025, we entered into an agreement to sell the Howell, Michigan outlet center for $17.0 million. We subsequently recorded a $4.2 million impairment charge in our consolidated statement of operations to lower the value to the estimated fair value based on this agreement.
Other Fair Value Disclosures
The estimated fair value and recorded value of our debt as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows (in thousands):
| 2025 | 2024 | |||||||||||||
| Level 1 Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets or Liabilities | $ | — | $ | — | ||||||||||
| Level 2 Significant Observable Inputs | 1,004,896 | 961,783 | ||||||||||||
| Level 3 Significant Unobservable Inputs | 552,914 | 387,048 | ||||||||||||
| Total fair value of debt | $ | 1,557,810 | $ | 1,348,831 | ||||||||||
| Recorded value of debt | $ | 1,596,821 | $ | 1,423,759 | ||||||||||
Our senior unsecured notes are publicly-traded, which provides quoted market rates. However, due to the limited trading volume of these notes, we have classified these instruments as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Our other debt is classified as Level 3 given the unobservable inputs utilized in the valuation. Our unsecured term loan, unsecured lines of credit and variable interest rate mortgages are all SOFR based instruments. When selecting the discount rates for purposes of estimating the fair value of these instruments, we evaluated the original credit spreads and do not believe that the use of them differs materially from current credit spreads for similar instruments and therefore the recorded values of these debt instruments is considered their fair value.
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other assets and liabilities are reasonable estimates of their fair values because of the short maturities of these instruments. Short-term government securities and our certificates of deposit included in short-term investments are highly liquid investments, which are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices in an active market.

About Fair Value Disclosures
Fair value disclosures classify all assets and liabilities measured at fair value into a three-level hierarchy: Level 1 (quoted market prices), Level 2 (observable inputs like yield curves), and Level 3 (unobservable inputs requiring management estimates). The proportion of Level 3 assets directly reflects how much of the balance sheet depends on internal models rather than market evidence.
Key signals: a growing Level 3 balance relative to total fair-value assets increases valuation uncertainty and earnings volatility risk. Watch for transfers between levels — assets moving from Level 2 to Level 3 often signal deteriorating market liquidity. Unrealized gains and losses on Level 3 positions flow through earnings or other comprehensive income, so large swings deserve scrutiny. For financial institutions, examine the sensitivity disclosures that show how Level 3 valuations change under alternative assumptions. Compare the fair value of debt against its carrying amount to gauge hidden leverage.
