Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract] |
Investment in Unconsolidated Entities | Investment in Unconsolidated Entities 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. The Company’s net equity investment is reflected within investment in unconsolidated entities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the Company’s share of net income or loss from the entity is included within other income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. 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% interest in the joint venture. The assets of the joint venture consist of the notes receivable. The Company’s investment in this joint venture was $15.4 million and $29.4 million as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, which represents the maximum exposure for loss for the Company. On June 13, 2017, the Company received a return of capital of $14.9 million. 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. On July 1, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with an unaffiliated third party related to the land on which its 11601 Wilshire property is located. The Company holds a 28% interest in the land held as a tenancy in common. The agreement does not meet the definition of a VIE and the Company accounts for its interest in the land held as a tenancy in common under the equity method of accounting. The Company’s interest in the land was $7.8 million as of December 31, 2016. On June 15, 2017, the Company purchased the remaining interest for $50.0 million. See Note 3 for details. As a result of this transaction, $7.8 million is included within land on the consolidated balance sheets.
