Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company and the operating partnership are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures required for annual financial statements have been condensed or excluded pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations. Accordingly, the interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature that are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in the 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P. and the notes thereto. Principles of Consolidation The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company, the operating partnership and all wholly-owned and controlled subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements of the operating partnership include the accounts of the operating partnership and all wholly-owned and controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. Under the consolidation guidance, the Company first evaluates an entity using the variable interest model, then the voting model. The Company ultimately consolidates all entities that the Company controls through either majority ownership or voting rights, including all variable interest entities (“VIEs”) of which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. The Company accounts for all other unconsolidated joint ventures using the equity method of accounting. In addition, the Company continually evaluates each legal entity that is not wholly-owned for reconsideration based on changing circumstances. VIEs are defined as entities in which equity investors do not have: •the characteristics of a controlling financial interest; •sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties; and/or •the entity is structured with non-substantive voting rights. The entity that consolidates a VIE is known as its primary beneficiary and is generally the entity with both the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance and the right to receive benefits from the VIE or the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. As of June 30, 2021, the Company has determined that its operating partnership and 14 joint ventures met the definition of a VIE. 12 of these joint ventures are consolidated and two are unconsolidated. Consolidated Joint Ventures As of June 30, 2021, the operating partnership has determined that 12 of its joint ventures met the definition of a VIE and are consolidated:

__________________ 1.Sunset Services Holdings, LLC wholly owns Services Holdings, LLC, which owns 100% interests in Sunset Bronson Services, LLC, Sunset Gower Services, LLC and Sunset Las Palmas Services, LLC, which provide services to the respective entertainment properties above. 2.Hudson Media and Entertainment Management, LLC manages the following properties: Sunset Gower Studios, Sunset Bronson Studios, Sunset Las Palmas Studios, 6040 Sunset, ICON, CUE, EPIC and Harlow (collectively “Hollywood Media Portfolio”). On November 22, 2020, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with CPPIB US RE-3, Inc., a subsidiary of Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (“CPPIB”), to form Hudson 1918 Eighth, L.P. On December 18, 2020, the joint venture purchased the 1918 Eighth property through a wholly-owned subsidiary. The Company owns 55% of the joint venture. As of June 30, 2021, the Company has determined that this joint venture met the definition of a VIE and is consolidated. On July 30, 2020, funds affiliated with Blackstone Property Partners (“Blackstone”) acquired a 49% interest in the Company’s Hollywood Media Portfolio. The Company retained a 51% ownership stake and remains responsible for day-to-day operations, leasing and development. As of June 30, 2021, the Company has determined that the entities included in the Hollywood Media Portfolio and the related entities met the definition of a VIE and are consolidated. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has determined that its operating partnership met the definition of a VIE and is consolidated. Substantially all of the assets and liabilities of the Company are related to the operating partnership VIE. The assets and credit of certain VIEs can only be used to satisfy those VIEs’ own contractual obligations, and the VIEs’ creditors have no recourse to the general credit of the Company. Unconsolidated Joint Ventures As of June 30, 2021, the Company has determined it is not the primary beneficiary of two of its joint ventures. Due to its significant influence over the unconsolidated entities, the Company accounts for them using the equity method of accounting. 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. As of December 24, 2020, the Company owns 50% of the ownership interest in the joint venture which owns the Sunset Glenoaks Studios development. The Company serves as the operating member. On June 5, 2019, the Company purchased, pursuant to a co-ownership agreement with Blackstone 1 LP, an affiliate of Blackstone, 20% of the ownership interest in the Bentall Centre property. The joint venture property-owning entity is structured as a tenancy in common under applicable tax laws. The Company owns 20% of this joint venture and serves as the operating partner. The Company’s net equity investment in its unconsolidated joint ventures is reflected within investment in unconsolidated real estate entities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s share of net income or loss from the joint ventures is included within income from unconsolidated real estate entities on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company uses the cumulative earnings approach for determining cash flow presentation of distributions from unconsolidated joint ventures. Under this approach, distributions up to the amount of cumulative equity in earnings recognized are classified as cash inflows from operating activities, and those in excess of that amount are classified as cash inflows from investing activities. Refer to Note 4 for further details regarding our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of commitments and contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to acquiring, developing and assessing the carrying values of its real estate properties, determining the incremental borrowing rate used in the present value calculations of its new or modified operating lessee agreements, its accrued liabilities and its performance-based equity compensation awards. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, current market conditions and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. Lease Accounting The Company accounts for its leases under ASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), which requires companies to identify lease and non-lease components of a lease agreement. Lease components relate to the right to use the leased asset whereas non-lease components relate to payments for goods or services that are transferred separately from the right to use the underlying asset. Lessee Accounting The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company’s operating lease agreements relate to ground leases and facility leases and are reflected in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. For leases with a term of 12 months or less the Company made an accounting policy election, by class of underlying asset, not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities. The Company recognizes lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Variable lease payments are excluded from the ROU assets and lease liabilities and are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company determines its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date, or the date of the ASC 842 adoption, in determining the present value of lease payments. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate used to calculate the ROU assets and liabilities was 5.6%. ROU assets also include any lease payments made and exclude lease incentives. Many of the Company’s lessee agreements include options to extend the lease, which the Company does not include in its minimum lease terms unless the option is reasonably certain to be exercised. Rental expense for lease payments related to operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The weighted average remaining lease term was 30 years as of June 30, 2021. Lessor Accounting The presentation of revenues on the Consolidated Statements of Operations reflects a single lease component that combines rental, tenant recoveries and other tenant-related revenues for the office portfolio, with the election of the lessor practical expedient. For the Company’s rentals at the studio properties, total lease consideration is allocated to lease and non-lease components on a relative standalone basis. The recognition of revenues related to lease components is governed by ASC 842, while revenue related to non-lease components is subject to ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Revenue Recognition The Company has compiled an inventory of its sources of revenues and has identified the following material revenue streams: (i) rental revenues (ii) tenant recoveries and other tenant-related revenues (iii) ancillary revenues (iv) other revenues (v) sale of real estate (vi) management fee income and (vii) management services reimbursement income.
Revenue Stream |  | Components |  | Financial Statement Location
Rental revenues |  | Office rentals, stage rentals and storage rentals |  | Office and studio segments: rental
Tenant recoveries and other tenant-related revenues |  | Reimbursement of real estate taxes, insurance, repairs and maintenance, other operating expenses and must-take parking revenues |  | Office segment: rental Studio segment: rental and service revenues and other
Ancillary revenues |  | Revenues derived from tenants’ use of lighting, equipment rental, power, HVAC and telecommunications (i.e., telephone and internet) |  | Studio segment: service revenues and other
Other revenues |  | Parking revenue that is not associated with lease agreements and other |  | Office and studio segments: service revenues and other
Sale of real estate |  | Gains on sales derived from cash consideration less cost basis |  | Gains on sale of real estate
Management fee income |  | Income derived from management services provided to unconsolidated joint venture entities |  | Fee income
Management services reimbursement income |  | Reimbursement of costs incurred by the Company in the management of unconsolidated joint venture entities |  | Management services reimbursement income—unconsolidated real estate entities
The Company recognizes rental revenue from tenants on a straight-line basis over the lease term when collectability is probable and the tenant has taken possession of or controls the physical use of the leased asset. The Company does not account for lease concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic as lease modifications to the extent that the concessions are granted as payment deferrals and total payments remain substantially the same during the lease term. The Company recognizes tenant recoveries related to reimbursement of real estate taxes, insurance, repairs and maintenance and other operating expenses as revenue in the period during which the applicable expenses are incurred. The reimbursements are recognized and presented gross, as the Company is generally the primary obligor with respect to purchasing goods and services from third-party suppliers, has discretion in selecting the supplier and bears the associated credit risk. Other tenant-related revenues include parking stipulated in lease agreements as must-take parking rentals. These revenues are recognized over the term of the lease. Ancillary revenues, other revenues, management fee income and management services reimbursement income are accounted for under ASC 606. These revenues have single performance obligations and are recognized at the point in time when services are rendered. The following table summarizes the Company’s revenue streams that are accounted for under ASC 606 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:
| Three Months Ended June 30, |  | Six Months Ended June 30,

The following table summarizes the Company’s receivables that are accounted for under ASC 606 as of:
| June 30, 2021 |  | December 31, 2020
Ancillary revenues | $ | 1,465 |  |  | $ | 1,700 |
Other revenues | $ | 1,215 |  |  | $ | 1,058 |
In regards to sales of real estate, the Company applies certain recognition and measurement principles in accordance with ASC 606. The Company is required to evaluate the sales of real estate based on transfer of control. If a real estate sale contract includes ongoing involvement with the sold property by the seller, the seller must evaluate each promised good or service under the contract to determine whether it represents a performance obligation, constitutes a guarantee or prevents the transfer of control. The timing and pattern of revenue recognition might change as it relates to gains on sale of real estate if the sale includes continued involvement that represents a separate performance obligation.
