Noncontrolling Interest [Abstract]  
Noncontrolling Interest Noncontrolling InterestIn March 2017, we entered into our Boston life science property joint venture. 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 variable interest entity, or VIE, and that we controlled the activities that most significantly impacted the economic performance of this entity; we therefore consolidated the results of this joint venture in our financial statements. In December 2021, we sold an additional 35% equity interest in our Boston life science property joint venture to another third party 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 these properties 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 $1,322 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, is reported as a noncontrolling interest in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). This joint venture made aggregate cash distributions to the other joint venture investor of $5,694 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, which are reflected as a decrease in total equity attributable to noncontrolling interest in our condensed consolidated statement of shareholders' equity.
