Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Organization and Basis of Presentation | 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation Organization JBG SMITH Properties ("JBG SMITH") was organized as a Maryland real estate investment trust ("REIT") for the purpose of receiving, via the spin-off on July 17, 2017 (the "Separation"), substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Vornado Realty Trust's Washington, D.C. segment (the "Vornado Included Assets"). On July 18, 2017, JBG SMITH acquired the management business and certain assets and liabilities (the "JBG Assets") of The JBG Companies ("JBG") (the "Combination"). The Separation and the Combination are collectively referred to as the "Formation Transaction." JBG SMITH is hereinafter referred to as "we," "us," "our" or other similar terms. References to "our share" refer to our ownership percentage of consolidated and unconsolidated assets in real estate ventures. Substantially all of our assets are held by, and our operations are conducted through, JBG SMITH Properties LP ("JBG SMITH LP"), our operating partnership. As of December 31, 2019, we, as its sole general partner, controlled JBG SMITH LP and owned 89.9% of its common limited partnership units ("OP Units"). Prior to the Separation from Vornado Realty Trust ("Vornado" or "former parent"), JBG SMITH was a wholly owned subsidiary of Vornado and had no material assets or operations. On July 17, 2017, Vornado distributed 100% of the then outstanding common shares of JBG SMITH on a pro rata basis to the holders of its common shares. Prior to such distribution by Vornado, Vornado Realty L.P. ("VRLP"), Vornado's operating partnership, distributed OP Units in JBG SMITH LP on a pro rata basis to the holders of VRLP's common limited partnership units, consisting of Vornado and the other common limited partners of VRLP. Following such distribution by VRLP and prior to such distribution by Vornado, Vornado contributed to JBG SMITH all of the OP Units it received in exchange for common shares of JBG SMITH. Our operations are presented as if the transfer of the Vornado Included Assets had been consummated prior to all historical periods presented in the accompanying consolidated and combined financial statements at the carrying amounts of such assets and liabilities reflected in Vornado’s books and records. The assets and liabilities of the JBG Assets, and subsequent results of operations and cash flows, are reflected in our consolidated and combined financial statements beginning on the date of the Combination. We own and operate a portfolio of high-growth commercial and multifamily assets, many of which are amenitized with ancillary retail. Our portfolio reflects our longstanding strategy of owning and operating assets within Metro-served submarkets in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area that have high barriers to entry and key urban amenities, including being within walking distance of a Metro station. As of December 31, 2019, our Operating Portfolio consists of 62 operating assets comprising 44 commercial assets totaling 12.7 million square feet (10.7 million square feet at our share) and 18 multifamily assets totaling 7,111 units (5,327 units at our share). Additionally, we have (i) seven assets under construction comprising four commercial assets totaling 943,000 square feet (821,000 square feet at our share) and three multifamily assets totaling 1,011 units (833 units at our share); and (ii) 40 future development assets totaling 21.9 million square feet (18.7 million square feet at our share) of estimated potential development density. Our revenues are derived primarily from leases with commercial and multifamily tenants, which include fixed rents and reimbursements from tenants for certain expenses such as real estate taxes, property operating expenses, and repairs and maintenance. In addition, our third-party asset management and real estate services business provides fee-based real estate services to third parties and the legacy funds (the "JBG Legacy Funds") formerly organized by JBG. Only the U.S. federal government accounted for 10% or more of our rental revenue, which consists of property rentals and other property revenue, as follows:

Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated and combined financial statements and notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of JBG SMITH and our wholly owned subsidiaries and those other entities, including JBG SMITH LP, in which we have a controlling financial interest, including where we have been determined to be the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity ("VIE"). See Note 7 for additional information on our VIEs. The portions of the equity and net income of consolidated subsidiaries that are not attributable to JBG SMITH are presented separately as amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests in our consolidated and combined financial statements. References to the financial statements refer to our consolidated and combined financial statements as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019. References to our balance sheets refer to our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018. References to our statements of operations refer to our consolidated and combined statements of operations for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019. References to our statements of comprehensive income (loss) refer to our consolidated and combined statements of comprehensive income (loss) for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019. References to our statements of cash flows refer to our consolidated and combined statements of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019. Formation Transaction JBG SMITH and the Vornado Included Assets were under common control of Vornado for all periods prior to the Separation. The transfer of the Vornado Included Assets from Vornado to JBG SMITH was completed, at net book values (historical carrying amounts) carved out from Vornado’s books and records. For purposes of the formation of JBG SMITH, the Vornado Included Assets were designated as the predecessor and the accounting acquirer of the JBG Assets. Consequently, the financial statements of JBG SMITH, as set forth herein, represent a continuation of the financial information of the Vornado Included Assets as the predecessor and accounting acquirer such that the historical financial information included herein as of any date or for any periods on or prior to the completion of the Combination represents the pre-Combination financial information of the Vornado Included Assets. The financial statements reflect the common shares as of the date of the Separation as outstanding for all periods prior to July 17, 2017. The acquisition of the JBG Assets completed subsequently by JBG SMITH was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method whereby identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at acquisition-date fair values and income and cash flows from the operations were consolidated into the financial statements of JBG SMITH commencing July 18, 2017. Consequently, the financial statements for the periods before and after the Formation Transaction are not directly comparable. The accompanying financial statements as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 include our consolidated accounts. The results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 reflects the aggregate operations and changes in cash flows and equity on a combined basis for all periods prior to July 17, 2017 and on a consolidated basis for all periods subsequent to July 17, 2017. Therefore, our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition set forth in this report are not necessarily indicative of our future results of operations, cash flows or financial condition as an independent, publicly traded company. The historical financial results for the Vornado Included Assets for periods prior to the Formation Transaction reflect charges for certain corporate costs allocated by Vornado, which were based on either actual costs incurred or a proportion of costs estimated to be applicable, to the Vornado Included Assets based on an analysis of key metrics, including total revenues. Such costs do not necessarily reflect what the actual costs would have been if JBG SMITH had been operating as a separate standalone public company. See Note 20 for additional information. Reclassifications Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation as follows:
• | Reclassification of parking revenue totaling $25.7 million and $23.1 million previously included in "Property rentals revenue" for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 to "Other revenue" in our statements of operations.
• Reclassification of tenant reimbursements totaling $39.3 million and $38.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 to "Property rentals revenue" in our statements of operations.
