Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Organization | Organization Corporate Office Properties Trust (“COPT”) and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”, “we” or “us”) is a fully-integrated and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”). We own, manage, lease, develop and selectively acquire office and data center properties. The majority of our portfolio is in locations that support the United States Government (“USG”) and its contractors, most of whom are engaged in national security, defense and information technology (“IT”) related activities servicing what we believe are growing, durable, priority missions (“Defense/IT Locations”). We also own a portfolio of office properties located in select urban/urban-like submarkets in the Greater Washington, DC/Baltimore region with durable Class-A office fundamentals and characteristics (“Regional Office”). As of September 30, 2022, our properties included the following: •188 properties totaling 22.1 million square feet comprised of 17.1 million square feet in 161 office properties and 5.0 million square feet in 27 single-tenant data center shells. We owned 19 of these data center shells through unconsolidated real estate joint ventures; •12 properties under development (nine office properties and three data center shells), including one partially-operational property, and an expansion of one fully-operational property that we estimate will total approximately 1.9 million square feet upon completion; and •approximately 710 acres of land controlled for future development that we believe could be developed into approximately 8.4 million square feet and 43 acres of other land. We conduct almost all of our operations and own almost all of our assets through our operating partnership, Corporate Office Properties, L.P. (“COPLP”) and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Operating Partnership”), of which COPT is the sole general partner. COPLP owns real estate directly and through subsidiary partnerships and limited liability companies (“LLCs”). In addition to owning real estate, COPLP also owns subsidiaries that provide real estate services such as property management, development and construction services primarily for our properties but also for third parties. Some of these services are performed by a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”). Equity interests in COPLP are in the form of common and preferred units. As of September 30, 2022, COPT owned 98.0% of the outstanding COPLP common units (“common units”) and there were no preferred units outstanding. Common units not owned by COPT carry certain redemption rights. The number of common units owned by COPT is equivalent to the number of outstanding common shares of beneficial interest (“common shares”) of COPT, and the entitlement of common units to quarterly distributions and payments in liquidation is substantially the same as that of COPT common shareholders. COPT’s common shares are publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “OFC”.
