Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]
Investment in Unconsolidated Entity	Investment in Unconsolidated Entity Investment in unconsolidated real estate in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence (but not control) is accounted for under the equity method of investment. Under the equity method, the Company initially records the investment at cost, and subsequently adjusts for equity in earnings or losses and cash contributions and distributions. On June 16, 2016, the Company entered into a joint venture to co-originate a loan secured by land in Santa Clara, California. The Company holds a 21.4% interest in the joint venture. The assets of the joint venture are comprised of the notes receivable, which represents the maximum exposure for loss for the Company. The joint venture meets the criteria of a VIE and the Company accounts for this investment under the equity method of accounting since the Company is not the primary beneficiary. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company’s net equity investment is reflected within investment in unconsolidated entity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the Company’s share of net income or loss from the joint venture is included within other (income) expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
