Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract] |
Unconsolidated Affiliates | NOTE 7. UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIAT ES At December 31, 2024, the Company had investments in 24 entities, which are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. All investments in unconsolidated affiliates were similar in nature and the entities all were developing or held and operated real estate assets. The Company had three unconsolidated affiliates with its ownership interest ranging from 33% to 49%, 16 unconsolidated affiliates owned in 50/50 joint ventures and four unconsolidated affiliates with ownership interests of 65%. Although the Company had majority ownership of certain joint ventures during 2024, 2023 and 2022, it evaluated the investments and concluded that the other partners or owners in these joint ventures had substantive participating rights or the ability to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of VIEs, such as approvals of: • the pro forma for the development and construction of the project and any material deviations or modifications thereto; • the site plan and any material deviations or modifications thereto; • the conceptual design of the project and the initial plans and specifications for the project and any material deviations or modifications thereto; • any acquisition/construction loans or any permanent financings/refinancings; • the annual operating budgets and any material deviations or modifications thereto; • the initial leasing plan and leasing parameters and any material deviations or modifications thereto; and • any material acquisitions or dispositions with respect to the project. As a result of these considerations, the Company accounts for these investments using the equity method of accounting. Additionally, the Company had a wholly owned investment that was deconsolidated as a result of losing control when the property went into receivership. 2024 Activity - Unconsolidated Affiliates Ambassador Infrastructure, LLC In December 2024, the loan secured by Ambassador Infrastructure was modified and extended.

Variable Interest Entities The Operating Partnership and certain of its subsidiaries are deemed to have the characteristics of a VIE primarily because the limited partners of these entities do not collectively possess substantive kick-out or participating rights. Generally, a VIE is a legal entity in which the equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or the equity investors lack sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. A limited partnership is considered a VIE when the majority of the limited partners unrelated to the general partner possess neither the right to remove the general partner without cause, nor proportionate rights to participate in the decisions that most significantly affect the financial results of the partnership. The Company consolidates the Operating Partnership, which is a VIE, for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company, through the Operating Partnership, consolidates all VIEs for which it is the primary beneficiary. In determining whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the Company considers qualitative and quantitative factors, including, but not limited to: which activities most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and which party controls such activities; the amount and characteristics of the Company's investment; the obligation or likelihood for the Company or other investors to provide financial support; and the similarity with and significance to the Company's business activities and the business activities of the other investors. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had investments in 10 consolidated VIEs with ownership interests ranging from 50% to 92%. See Note 14 for a description of guarantees the Operating Partnership has issued related to the unconsolidated affiliates.
