Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract] |
INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED VENTURES | INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED VENTURES As of September 30, 2015, the Company held ownership interests in 17 unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures for an aggregate investment balance of $210.7 million, of which $211.8 million is included in assets and $1.1 million is included in other liabilities relating to the negative investment balance of one real estate venture. The Company formed or acquired interests in these ventures with unaffiliated third parties to develop or manage office, residential, and/or mixed-use properties or to acquire land in anticipation of possible development of office, residential and/or mixed-use properties. As of September 30, 2015, nine of the real estate ventures owned 29 office buildings that contain an aggregate of approximately 4.0 million net rentable square feet; three real estate ventures owned 4.4 acres of undeveloped parcels of land; three real estate ventures owned 22.5 acres of land under development; one real estate venture owned a residential tower that contains 345 apartment units and one real estate venture owned a hotel property that contains 137 rooms in Conshohocken, PA. The Company accounts for its unconsolidated interests in its Real Estate Ventures using the equity method. The Company’s unconsolidated interests range from 20% to 70%, subject to specified priority allocations of distributable cash in certain of the Real Estate Ventures. The amounts reflected in the following tables (except for the Company’s share of equity and income) are based on the historical financial information of the individual Real Estate Ventures. The Company does not record operating losses of a Real Estate Venture in excess of its investment balance unless the Company is liable for the obligations of the Real Estate Venture or is otherwise committed to provide financial support to the Real Estate Venture. The following is a summary of the financial position of the Real Estate Ventures as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in thousands):

In addition, certain acquisition, transaction and other costs may not be reflected in the net assets at the Real Estate Venture level.
(b) | Does not include the negative investment balance of one real estate venture totaling $1.1 million as of September 30, 2015 and $1.2 million as of December 31, 2014, which is included in other liabilities.

JBG - Ventures On May 29, 2015, the Company and an unaffiliated third party, JBG/DC Manager, LLC ("JBG"), formed 51 N 50 Patterson, Holdings, LLC Venture ("51 N Street") and 1250 First Street Office, LLC Venture ("1250 First Street"), as real estate ventures, with the Company owning a 70.0% interest and JBG owning a 30.0% interest in each of the two ventures. At formation, the Company and JBG made cash contributions of $15.2 million and $6.5 million, respectively, to 51 N Street, which was used to purchase 0.9 acres of undeveloped land. At formation, the Company and JBG made cash capital contributions of $13.2 million and $5.7 million, respectively, to 1250 First Street, which was used to purchase 0.5 acres of undeveloped land. Based upon the facts and circumstances at formation of each of the two ventures with JBG, the Company determined that each venture is a VIE in accordance with the accounting standard for the consolidation of VIEs. As a result, the Company used the variable interest model under the accounting standard for consolidation in order to determine whether to consolidate the JBG Ventures. JBG is the managing member of the ventures, and pursuant to the operating and related agreements, major decisions require the approval of both members. Based upon each member's shared power over the activities of each of the two ventures, which most significantly impact the economics of the ventures, neither venture is consolidated by the Company. Each venture is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Broadmoor Austin Associates On June 22, 2015, the Company became the sole owner of Broadmoor Austin Associates upon the Company's acquisition from an unaffiliated third party of the remaining 50.0% ownership interest in Broadmoor Austin Associates. Broadmoor Austin Associates owns seven office buildings in Austin, Texas. See Note 3, "Real Estate Investments," for further information. 25 M Street (Akridge) On May 12, 2015, the Company contributed the parcel of land purchased on April 9, 2015 into a newly formed real estate venture known as 25 M Street, a joint venture between the Company and Akridge, an unaffiliated third party. See Note 3, "Real Estate Investments," for further information. Based on the facts and circumstances at formation of 25 M Street, the Company determined that 25 M Street is a variable interest entity (VIE) in accordance with the accounting standard for consolidation of VIEs. Accordingly, the Company used the variable interest model under the accounting standard for consolidation in order to determine whether to consolidate 25 M Street. Under the operating and related agreements the Company has the power to control substantially all of the activities which most significantly impact the economics of 25 M Street, and accordingly, 25 M Street is consolidated within the Company’s financial statements. As of September 30, 2015, the carrying value of the assets of 25 M Street was $20.5 million. DRA - PA Venture On December 19, 2007, the Company formed G&I Interchange Office LLC, a real estate venture (the “Interchange Venture”), with an unaffiliated third party, G&I VI Investment Interchange Office LLC (“G&I VI”), an investment vehicle advised by DRA Advisors LLC. The Interchange Venture owns 29 office properties containing an aggregate of 1,611,961 net rentable square feet located in Montgomery, Lehigh and Bucks counties, Pennsylvania. The Company contributed these 29 properties to the Interchange Venture upon the Interchange Venture's formation and in exchange for the contribution received a cash distribution from the Venture and a 20.0% ownership interest in the Interchange Venture. On February 27, 2015, the Interchange Venture entered into a forbearance agreement with an unaffiliated lender that holds a nonrecourse mortgage on the Venture's assets. The loan matured on January 1, 2015. On August 12, 2015, the lender sold the properties to an unaffiliated third-party purchaser under the forbearance agreement and assumed the proceeds. Commensurate with the sale, the Interchange Venture was dissolved. The Company has no obligation to fund any amounts to the lender under the loan or mortgage. The Company has not had any investment basis in the Interchange Venture since formation of the Interchange Venture in 2007. The Company is not obligated to fund any of the losses incurred by the Interchange Venture and, as a result, has not recognized losses in excess of its invested capital balance. Austin Venture On January 30, 2015, the Austin Venture closed on a mortgage loan with a non-affiliated institutional lender, and used the proceeds of the loan to repay in full an $88.0 million short-term secured loan made by the Company to fund costs of the Austin Venture's acquisition of River Place. For further information regarding this acquisition, see Note 4, "Investment In Unconsolidated Ventures," included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. Guarantees As of September 30, 2015, the Company had provided guarantees on behalf of certain real estate ventures, consisting of (i) a $24.7 million payment guarantee on the construction loan for the project being undertaken by evo at Cira; (ii) a $3.2 million payment guarantee on the construction loan for the development project being undertaken by TB-BDN Plymouth Apartments; (iii) a several cost overrun guaranty on the $88.9 million construction loan for the development project being undertaken by 1919 Market Street LP; and (iv) a $0.5 million payment guarantee on a loan provided to PJP VII. In addition, during construction undertaken by real estate ventures, the Company has provided and expects to continue to provide cost overrun and completion guarantees, with rights of contribution among partners in the real estate ventures, as well as customary environmental indemnities and guarantees of customary exceptions to nonrecourse provisions in loan agreements.
