The aggregate amortization expense was approximately $9.4 million, $13.5 million and $18.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. In addition, in connection with the 2015 acquisitions of Warren and Capitol, the Partnership recognized amortization expense related to leasehold interests of $1.3 million and $0.8 million in 2016 and 2015, respectively. The decrease in amortization expense in 2016 compared to 2015 and in 2015 compared to 2014 was due to intangible assets that became fully amortized during 2015.

The estimated annual intangible asset amortization expense for future years ending December 31 is as follows (in thousands):
