Noncontrolling Interest [Abstract]  
Noncontrolling Interest Noncontrolling InterestIn March 2017, we entered into a joint venture arrangement with an institutional investor for one of our life science properties located in Boston, Massachusetts. The investor owned a 45% equity interest in the joint venture, and we owned the remaining 55% equity interest in the joint venture. We determined that, while we owned a 55% equity interest in this joint venture, this joint venture was a VIE and that we controlled the activities that most significantly impacted the economic performance of this entity; we therefore consolidated this property in our financial statements until we sold an additional 35% equity interest in the joint venture in December 2021 to another third party global institutional investor. After giving effect to the sale, we continue to own a 20% equity interest in this joint venture, but have determined that we are no longer the primary beneficiary. Effective as of the date of the sale, we deconsolidated this joint venture and we now account for this joint venture using the equity method of accounting under the fair value option. The portion of the joint venture's net income and comprehensive income not attributable to us, or $5,411, $5,146 and $5,356 for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, is reported as a noncontrolling interest in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). The joint venture made aggregate cash distributions to the other joint venture investor of $22,348, $22,292 and $21,583 for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, which are reflected as a decrease in total equity attributable to noncontrolling interest in our consolidated balance sheets.
