| Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
| Basis of Presentation | The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the consolidated financial position and results of operations of the Company, the Operating Partnership, the Consolidated Property Partnerships, and all of our wholly-owned and controlled subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements of the Operating Partnership include the consolidated financial position and results of operations of the Operating Partnership, the Consolidated Property Partnerships, and all of our wholly-owned and controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. |
| Reclassification of Prior Period Amounts | Reclassification of Prior Period Amounts Commencing January 1, 2025, the Company began presenting a new line item, Other income (expense), which includes tax expenses, acquisition and disposition expenses, and income or expenses related to environmental and sustainability initiatives, which were previously included in General and administrative expenses. Historical amounts for General and administrative expenses and Other income (expense) have been revised to conform with the current period presentation, which resulted in no change to consolidated net income. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company combined certain line items in the Consolidated Statements of Equity. The Company determined that separate disclosure for certain line items was not meaningful to the users of the financial statements. The settlement of restricted stock units for shares of common stock is now presented net of shares withheld and payments made to settle tax obligations. Historical presentation has been revised to conform with the current period presentation. These presentation changes did not affect the total equity balance, net income, or earnings per share in any of the periods reported.

| Partially Owned Entities and Variable Interest Entities | Partially Owned Entities and Variable Interest Entities Our accounting policy is to consolidate entities in which we have a controlling financial interest and significant decision making control over the entity’s operations. In determining whether we have a controlling financial interest in a partially owned entity and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, we consider factors such as ownership interest, board representation, management representation, size of our investment (including loans), authority to control decisions, and contractual and substantive participating rights of the members. In addition to evaluating control rights, we consolidate entities in which the other members have no substantive kick-out rights to remove the Company as the managing member. Entities in which the equity investors do not have sufficient equity at risk to finance their endeavors without additional financial support or the holders of the equity investment at risk do not have a controlling financial interest are variable interest entities (“VIEs”). We evaluate whether an entity is a VIE and whether we are the primary beneficiary. We are deemed to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE when we have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Operating Partnership is a VIE that is consolidated by the Company as the primary beneficiary, as the Operating Partnership is a limited partnership in which the common limited partners do not have substantive kick-out or participating rights. If the requirements for consolidation are not met, the Company would account for investments under the equity method of accounting if we have the ability to exercise significant influence over the entity. Equity method investments would be initially recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for our share of net income or loss and cash contributions and distributions each period.

| Revenue Recognition, Base Rent, Additional Rent - Reimbursements from Tenants, Other Property Income, Uncollectible Lease Receivables and Allowance for Tenant and Deferred Rent Receivables | Revenue Recognition Rental revenue for office, life science, retail, and residential operating properties is our principal source of revenue. We recognize revenue from base rent (fixed lease payments), additional rent (variable lease payments, which consist of amounts due from tenants for common area maintenance, real estate taxes, and other recoverable costs), parking, and other lease-related revenue once all of the following criteria are met: (i) the agreement has been fully executed and delivered, (ii) services have been rendered, (iii) the amount is fixed or determinable, and (iv) payment has been received or the collectability of substantially all of the amount due is probable. Minimum annual rental revenues are recognized in rental revenues on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable term of the related lease. Base Rent The timing of when we commence rental revenue recognition for office, life science, and retail properties depends largely on our conclusion as to whether we are or the tenant is the owner of tenant improvements at the leased property for accounting purposes. When we conclude that we are the owner of tenant improvements for accounting purposes, we record the cost to construct the tenant improvements as an asset and commence rental revenue recognition when the tenant takes possession of or controls the finished space, which is generally when tenant improvements being recorded as our assets are substantially complete. In certain instances, when we conclude that the tenant is the owner of certain tenant improvements for accounting purposes, rental revenue recognition begins when the tenant takes possession or controls the physical use of the leased space. The determination of who owns the tenant improvements is made on a lease-by-lease basis and has a significant effect on the timing of commencement of revenue recognition. Further, we may deliver leased space in phases, rather than for an entire building or project, resulting in various revenue commencement dates for a particular lease, which involves significant judgment surrounding when the tenant takes possession of or controls each respective phase, building or project. When we conclude that we are the owner of tenant improvements for accounting purposes, we record the cost to construct the tenant improvements, including costs paid for or reimbursed by the tenants, as our capital asset. For these tenant-funded tenant improvements, we record the amount funded by or reimbursed by tenants as deferred revenue, which is amortized and recognized as rental income on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease beginning upon substantial completion of the leased premises. When we conclude that the tenant is the owner of certain tenant improvements for accounting purposes, we record our contribution towards those tenant-owned improvements as a lease incentive, which is included in deferred leasing costs and acquisition-related intangible assets, net, on our consolidated balance sheets and amortized as a reduction to rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease beginning upon substantial completion of the leased premises. For residential properties, we commence revenue recognition upon lease commencement. Residential rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease, which is generally one year, net of any concessions. When a lease is amended, we determine whether (i) an additional right of use not included in the original lease is being granted as a result of the modification, and (ii) there is an increase in the lease payments that is commensurate with the standalone price for the additional right of use. If both of these conditions are met, the amendment is accounted for as a separate lease contract. If either of those conditions are not met, the amendment is accounted for as a lease modification. Most of our lease amendments are accounted for as modifications of our operating leases, which requires us to reassess both the lease term and fixed lease payments, including any prepaid or deferred rent receivables relating to the original lease, as a part of the lease payments for the modified lease. Termination options in some of our leases allow the tenant to terminate the lease, in part or in whole, prior to the end of the lease term under certain circumstances. Termination options generally require advance notification from the tenant and payment of a termination fee that reimburses us for a portion of the remaining rent under the original lease term and the net book value of lease inception costs such as commissions, tenant improvements and lease incentives. Termination fee income, included in rental income, is recognized on a straight-line basis from the date of the executed termination agreement through the revised lease expiration when the amount of the fee is determinable and collectability of the fee is probable. This fee income is reduced on a straight-line basis by any deferred rent receivable related to the lease. Generally, our leases require the tenant to restore the leased space to standard office condition upon the expiration of the lease. In some circumstances, tenants may negotiate to pay us a restoration fee in lieu of restoring the space. Restoration fee income, included in rental income, is recognized on a straight-line basis from the date of the executed restoration fee agreement through lease expiration when the amount of the fee is determinable and collectability of the fee is probable. When tenants declare bankruptcy, we may be able to collect some portion of their past-due rents through the bankruptcy process, whether through applying security deposit balances, drawing on tenants’ letters of credit, or through bankruptcy settlements. We recognize any amounts collected through the bankruptcy process when cash is received. Additional Rent - Reimbursements from Tenants Leases typically provide for the reimbursement of certain property operating expenses accounted for as additional rent, which consists of amounts due from tenants for common area maintenance, real estate taxes, and other recoverable costs, and is recognized in rental income in the period the recoverable costs are incurred. Additional rent where we pay the associated costs directly to third-party vendors and are reimbursed by our tenants are recognized and recorded on a gross basis, with the associated expense recognized in property expenses or real estate taxes. Other Property Income Other property income primarily includes amounts recorded in connection with transient daily parking, broken deal income, and property damage settlement-related payments in excess of losses incurred received from third-party insurance carriers. Other property income also includes miscellaneous income from tenants and fees for late rental payments. Amounts recorded within other property income fall within the scope of ASC Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” and are recognized as revenue at the point in time when control of the goods or services transfers to the customer and our performance obligation is satisfied.For leases that are deemed probable of collection, revenue continues to be recorded on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable lease term, with partial allowances for uncollectible accounts exhibiting a certain level of collection risk. For leases that are deemed not probable of collection, revenue is recorded as the lesser of (i) cash received, or (ii) the amount recognized on a straight-line basis with any tenant and deferred rent receivable balances charged as a direct write-off against rental income in the period of the change in the collectability determination. If the collectability determination subsequently changes to being probable of collection for leases for which revenue is recorded based on cash received from the tenant, we resume recognizing revenue, including deferred revenue, on a straight-line basis and recognize incremental revenue related to the reinstatement of cumulative deferred rent receivable and deferred revenue balances, as if revenue had been recorded on a straight-line basis since the inception of the lease.

| Acquisitions | Acquisitions Acquisitions of operating properties and development and redevelopment opportunities generally do not meet the definition of a business and are accounted for as asset acquisitions, as substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets. For these asset acquisitions, we record the acquired tangible and intangible assets and assumed liabilities based on each asset’s and liability’s relative fair value compared to the total purchase price plus any capitalized closing costs, including costs incurred during negotiation. Fair values are determined using estimated cash flow projections, market information and discount and/or capitalization rates, considering historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and economic conditions. The acquired assets and assumed liabilities for an acquisition generally include, but are not limited to: (i) land and improvements, buildings and improvements, undeveloped land, and construction in progress, and (ii) identified tangible and intangible assets and liabilities associated with in-place leases, including tenant improvements, leasing costs, value of above-market and below-market operating leases and ground leases, acquired in-place lease values, and tenant relationships, if any. Any debt assumed and equity (including common units of the Operating Partnership) issued in connection with a property acquisition is recorded at relative fair value on the date of acquisition. The fair value of land and improvements is derived from comparable sales of land and improvements within the same submarket and/or region. The fair value of buildings and improvements, tenant improvements, and leasing costs considers the value of the property as if it was vacant as well as current replacement costs and other relevant market rate information. The fair value of the above-market or below-market component of an acquired in-place operating lease is based upon the present value (calculated using a market discount rate) of the difference between (i) the contractual rents to be paid pursuant to the lease over its remaining non-cancellable lease term, and (ii) management’s estimate of the rents that would be paid using fair market rental rates and rent escalations at the date of acquisition measured over the remaining non-cancellable term of the lease for above-market operating leases and the initial non-cancellable term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options, if applicable, for below-market operating leases. Our below-market operating leases generally do not include fixed rate or below-market renewal options. The amounts recorded for above-market operating leases are included in deferred leasing costs and acquisition-related intangible assets, net, on the balance sheet and are amortized on a straight-line basis as a reduction of rental income over the remaining term of the applicable leases. The amounts recorded for below-market operating leases are included in deferred revenue and acquisition-related intangible liabilities, net, on the balance sheet and are amortized on a straight-line basis as an increase to rental income over the remaining term of the applicable leases plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options, if applicable. The amortization of a below-market ground lease obligation is recorded as an increase to ground lease expense in the consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented. The amortization of an above-market ground lease obligation is recorded as a decrease to ground lease expense in the consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented. The fair value of acquired in-place leases is derived based on management’s assessment of lost revenue and costs incurred for the period required to lease the “assumed vacant” property to the occupancy level when purchased. This fair value is based on a variety of considerations, including, but not necessarily limited to: (i) the value associated with lost rental revenue from existing leases during the assumed lease-up period; (ii) the value associated with avoiding the cost of originating the acquired in-place leases; and (iii) the value associated with lost revenue related to tenant reimbursable operating costs estimated to be incurred during the assumed lease-up period. Factors we consider in performing these analyses include an estimate of the carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods, current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, we include real estate taxes, insurance, and other operating expenses, and estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on current market demand at market rates. In estimating costs to execute similar leases, we consider leasing commissions, legal, and other related expenses. The amount recorded for acquired in-place leases is included in deferred leasing costs and acquisition-related intangible assets, net on the balance sheet and amortized as an increase to depreciation and amortization expense over the remaining term of the applicable leases. The determination of the fair value of any debt assumed in connection with a property acquisition is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using market interest rates available for the issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. The determination of the fair value of the acquired tangible and intangible assets and assumed liabilities of acquisitions requires us to make significant judgments and assumptions about the numerous inputs discussed above. The use of different assumptions in these fair value calculations could significantly affect the reported amounts of the allocation of our acquisition related assets and liabilities and the related depreciation and amortization expense recorded for such assets and liabilities. In addition, because the value of above and below-market leases are amortized as either a reduction or increase to rental income, respectively, our judgments for these intangibles could have a significant impact on our reported rental revenues and results of operations. Transaction costs associated with our acquisitions, including costs incurred during negotiation, are capitalized as part of the purchase price of the acquisition.

| Operating Properties, Cost Capitalization, Depreciation and Amortization of Buildings and Improvements | Operating Properties Operating properties are generally carried at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Properties held for sale are reported at the lower of the carrying value or the fair value less estimated cost to sell. The cost of operating properties includes the purchase price or development costs of the properties. Costs incurred for the renovation and extension of the useful life of the operating properties are capitalized to our investment in that property. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Cost Capitalization We capitalize all costs associated with development and redevelopment activities, capital improvements, and tenant improvements as project costs, including internal compensation costs related to those activities. In addition, the following costs are capitalized as project costs during periods in which activities necessary to prepare development and redevelopment properties for their intended use are in progress: pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, interest costs based on the weighted average interest rate of our outstanding indebtedness for the period, real estate taxes, and insurance. Determining whether expenditures meet the criteria for capitalization requires management to exercise significant judgment. Expenditures that meet one or more of the following criteria generally qualify for capitalization: •Provide benefit in future periods; •Extend the useful life of the asset beyond our original estimates; and •Increase the quality of the asset beyond our original estimates. We define redevelopment properties as those properties for which we expect to spend significant development and construction costs pursuant to a formal plan to change its use, the intended result of which is a higher economic return on the property. We define a property in the tenant improvement phase as a development or redevelopment property where the project has reached “cold shell condition” and is ready for tenant improvements, which may require additional major base building modifications before being placed in service. Projects in the tenant improvement phase are moved into our stabilized portfolio once the project reaches the earlier of 95% occupancy or one year from the date of the cessation of major base building construction activities. For office, life science, and retail development and redevelopment properties, the date the capitalization period ends is based on property-specific leasing activity: •For properties that are pre-leased, we cease capitalization when revenue recognition has commenced on the leased space, which is upon substantial completion of tenant improvements deemed to be the Company’s asset for accounting purposes. •For properties that are not pre-leased, we may not immediately build out the tenant improvements. Therefore, we cease capitalization and begin depreciation on the portion of the property for which revenue recognition has commenced on the leased space, but in any event, no later than one year after the cessation of major base building construction activities. Revenue recognition commences on leased space upon substantial completion of the tenant improvements deemed to be the Company’s asset for accounting purposes. We also cease capitalization when activities necessary to prepare the property for its intended use have been suspended. Once major base building construction activities have ceased and the development or redevelopment property (or phases thereof) have been placed in service, the costs capitalized to construction in progress are transferred to land and improvements, buildings and improvements, and deferred leasing costs on our consolidated balance sheets as the historical cost of the property. Evaluation of Asset Impairment We evaluate our real estate assets, including land held for future development, for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a given asset may not be recoverable. This evaluation is performed property-by-property basis. Factors we use to determine whether an impairment evaluation is necessary include: •low occupancy levels, forecasted low occupancy levels, or near term lease expirations at a specific property; •current period operating or cash flow losses combined with a historical pattern or future projection of potential continued operating or cash flow losses at a specific property; •deterioration in rental rates for a specific property as evidenced by sudden significant rental rate decreases or continuous rental rate decreases over numerous quarters, which could signal a continued decrease in future cash flows for that property; •deterioration of a given rental submarket as evidenced by significant increases in market vacancy and/or negative absorption rates, or continuous increases in market vacancy and/or negative absorption rates over numerous quarters, which could signal a decrease in future cash flows for properties within that submarket; •significant increases in property sales yields, continuous increases in property sales yields over several quarters, or recent property sales at a loss within a given submarket, each of which could signal a decrease in the market value of properties; •significant change in strategy or use of a specific property, or any other event that could result in a decreased holding period, including classifying a property as held for sale, or significant development delay; •evidence of material physical damage to the property; and •default by a significant tenant when any of the other indicators above are present. When evaluating operating real estate assets to be held and used for potential impairment, including land held for future development, we first evaluate whether there are any indicators of impairment. If any impairment indicators are present for a specific real estate asset, we compare the asset’s net carrying amount to its estimated undiscounted future cash flows over the anticipated holding period. If the carrying amount exceeds these cash flows, we calculate an impairment loss by comparing the carrying amount to the asset’s estimated fair value, using discounted cash flow models or third-party appraisals. An impairment loss recognized sets a new cost basis for the asset, which is then depreciated over its remaining useful life. Assets held for sale are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value less closing costs, and depreciation ceases. Depreciation and Amortization of Buildings and Improvements and Furniture, Fixtures, and Other Long-Lived Assets The costs of buildings and improvements, tenant improvements, and furniture, fixtures and other long-lived assets are depreciated using the straight-line method of accounting over the estimated useful lives set forth in the table below
|
| Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash | Cash and Cash Equivalents We consider all highly-liquid investments, including certificates of deposit, with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Restricted Cash Restricted cash consists of cash proceeds from dispositions that are temporarily held at qualified intermediaries for purposes of facilitating potential Section 1031 Exchanges, and cash held in escrow related to acquisition and disposition holdbacks. Restricted cash may also include cash held as collateral to provide credit enhancement for the Operating Partnership’s mortgage debt, including cash reserves for capital expenditures, tenant improvements, and property taxes.
|
| Deferred Compensation Plan | At the time eligible management employees (“Participants”) defer compensation or earn mandatory Company contributions, or if we were to make a discretionary contribution, we record compensation cost and a corresponding deferred compensation plan liability, which is included in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. This liability is adjusted to fair value at the end of each accounting period based on the performance of the benchmark funds selected by each Participant, and the impact of adjusting the liability to fair value is recorded as an increase or decrease to compensation cost. The impact of adjusting the deferred compensation plan liability to fair value and the changes in the value of the marketable securities held in connection with the Deferred Compensation Plan generally offset and therefore do not significantly impact net income. |
| Deferred Financing Costs and Debt Discounts and Premiums | Deferred Financing Costs Financing costs related to the origination or assumption of long-term debt are deferred and generally amortized into interest expense using the straight-line method of accounting, which approximates the effective interest method, over the contractual terms of the applicable financings. Deferred financing costs incurred in connection with the establishment of the unsecured revolving credit facility are initially recorded as prepaid assets on the balance sheet and subsequently amortized to interest expense over the contractual term of the facility, typically using the straight-line method. Debt Discounts and Premiums Original issuance debt discounts and discounts/premiums related to recording debt acquired in connection with operating property acquisitions at fair value are generally amortized and accreted on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method. Discounts are recorded as additional interest expense from date of issuance or acquisition through the contractual maturity date of the related debt. Premiums are recorded as a reduction to interest expense from the date of issuance or acquisition through the contractual maturity date of the related debt.
|
| Noncontrolling Interests and Common Partnership Interests | Noncontrolling Interests - Common Units of the Operating Partnership in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements Common units of the Operating Partnership within noncontrolling interests in the Company’s consolidated financial statements represent the common limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership not held by the Company (“noncontrolling common units”). Noncontrolling common units are presented in the equity section of the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and are reported at their proportionate share of the net assets of the Operating Partnership. Noncontrolling interests with redemption provisions that permit the issuer to settle in either cash or shares of common stock must be further evaluated to determine whether equity or temporary equity classification on the balance sheet is appropriate. Since the common units contain such a provision, we evaluated the accounting guidance and determined that the common units qualify for equity presentation in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Net income attributable to noncontrolling common units is allocated based on their relative ownership percentage of the Operating Partnership during the reported period. The noncontrolling interest ownership percentage is determined by dividing the number of noncontrolling common units by the total number of common units outstanding. The issuance or redemption of additional shares of common stock or common units results in changes to the noncontrolling interest percentage as well as the total net assets of the Company. As a result, all equity transactions result in an allocation between equity and the noncontrolling interest in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and statements of equity to account for the changes in the noncontrolling interest ownership percentage as well as the change in total net assets of the Company. Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Property Partnerships Noncontrolling interests in consolidated property partnerships represent the equity interests held by unrelated third parties in our three consolidated property partnerships (see Note 10 “Noncontrolling Interests on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements” and see Note 11 “Noncontrolling Interests on the Operating Partnership’s Consolidated Financial Statements”). Noncontrolling interests in consolidated property partnerships are not redeemable and are presented as permanent equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. We account for the noncontrolling interests in consolidated property partnerships using the hypothetical liquidation at book value (“HLBV”) method to attribute the earnings or losses of the consolidated property partnerships between the controlling and noncontrolling interests. Under the HLBV method, the amounts reported as noncontrolling interests in consolidated property partnerships in the consolidated balance sheets represent the amounts the noncontrolling interests would hypothetically receive at each balance sheet reporting date under the liquidation provisions of the governing agreements assuming the net assets of the consolidated property partnerships were liquidated at recorded amounts and distributed between the controlling and noncontrolling interests in accordance with the governing documents. The net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in consolidated property partnerships in the consolidated statements of operations is associated with the increase or decrease in the noncontrolling interest holders’ contractual claims on the respective entities’ balance sheets assuming a hypothetical liquidation at the end of that reporting period when compared with their claims on the respective entities’ balance sheets assuming a hypothetical liquidation at the beginning of that reporting period, after removing the impact of any contributions or distributions. Common Partnership Interests on the Operating Partnership’s Consolidated Balance Sheets The common units held by the Company and the noncontrolling common units held by the common limited partners are both presented in the permanent equity section of the Operating Partnership’s consolidated balance sheets in partners’ capital. The redemption rights of the noncontrolling common units permit us to settle the redemption obligation in either cash or shares of the Company’s common stock at our option (see Note 10 “Noncontrolling Interests on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information). Noncontrolling Interests on the Operating Partnership’s Consolidated Financial Statements Noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership’s consolidated financial statements include the noncontrolling interest in property partnerships (See Note 11 “Noncontrolling Interests on the Operating Partnership’s Consolidated Financial Statements”).
|
| Equity Offerings | Equity Offerings Underwriting commissions and offering costs incurred in connection with common equity offerings and any at-the-market stock offering programs (See Note 12 “Stockholders’ Equity of the Company”) are reflected as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. The net proceeds from any equity offering of the Company are generally contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for a number of common units equivalent to the number of shares of common stock issued and are reflected in the Operating Partnership’s consolidated financial statements as an increase in partners’ capital.
|
| Share-based Incentive Compensation Accounting | Share-Based Incentive Compensation Accounting Compensation cost for all share-based awards requires measurement at estimated fair value on the grant date. Compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The grant date fair value of share-based awards with market conditions are calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model. Forfeitures of all share-based awards are recognized when they occur. For share-based awards in which the performance period precedes the grant date, we recognize compensation cost over the requisite service period, which includes both the performance and service vesting periods, using the accelerated attribution expense method. The requisite service period begins on the date the Executive Compensation Committee authorizes the award and adopts any relevant performance measures. For share-based awards with performance conditions, the total estimated compensation cost is based on our most recent estimate of the probable achievement of the pre-established specific performance measures. These estimates are based on actual results and our latest internal forecasts for each performance measure. For share-based awards with market conditions, the total estimated compensation cost is based on the fair value of the award at the grant date. For share-based awards with performance conditions and market conditions, the total estimated compensation cost is based on the fair value per share at the grant date multiplied by our most recent estimate of the number of shares to be earned based on actual results and the probable achievement of the pre-established corporate performance measures based on our latest internal forecasts. In accordance with the provisions of our share-based incentive compensation plan, we accept the return of shares of Company common stock, at the current quoted market price, from employees to satisfy minimum statutory tax-withholding requirements related to shares that vested during the period. For share-based awards granted by the Company, the Operating Partnership issues a number of common units equal to the number of shares of common stock ultimately granted by the Company in respect of such awards.

| Basic and Diluted Net Income Available to Common Stockholders per Share | Basic and Diluted Net Income Available to Common Stockholders per Share Basic net income available to common stockholders per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders after the allocation of income to participating securities, by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net income available to common stockholders per share is computed by dividing net income available for common stockholders, after the allocation of income to participating securities, by the sum of the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period plus the assumed exercise of all dilutive securities. The impact of the outstanding common units is considered in the calculation of diluted net income available to common stockholders per share. The common units are not reflected in the diluted net income available to common stockholders per share calculation because the exchange of common units into common stock is on a one for one basis, and the common units are allocated net income on a per share basis equal to the common stock (See Note 19 “Net Income Available to Common Stockholders Per Share of the Company”). Accordingly, any exchange would not have any effect on diluted net income (loss) available to common stockholders per share. Share-based payment awards (primarily vested restricted stock units (“RSUs”)) containing nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are accounted for as participating securities and included in the computation of basic and diluted net income available to common stockholders per share pursuant to the two-class method. The dilutive effect of shares issuable under executed forward equity sale agreements, if any, are reflected in the weighted average diluted outstanding shares calculation by application of the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect of the outstanding nonvested shares of common stock (“nonvested shares”) and RSUs that have not yet been vested but are contingently issuable under the share-based compensation programs is reflected in the weighted average diluted shares calculation by application of the treasury stock method. Basic and Diluted Net Income Available to Common Unitholders per Unit Basic net income available to common unitholders per unit is computed by dividing net income available to the general partner and common unitholders, after the allocation of income to participating securities, by the weighted-average number of vested common units outstanding for the period. Diluted net income available to common unitholders per unit is computed by dividing net income available to the general partner and common unitholders, after the allocation of income to participating securities, by the sum of the weighted-average number of common units outstanding for the period plus the assumed exercise of all dilutive securities. The dilutive effect of outstanding nonvested shares, RSUs, awards containing nonforfeitable rights to dividend equivalents and shares issuable under executed forward equity sale agreements, if any, are reflected in diluted net income available to the general partner and common unitholders per unit in the same manner as noted above for net income available to common stockholders per share.

| Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements The marketable securities held in connection with our Deferred Compensation Plan are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in our consolidated financial statements. All other financial instruments of the Company, with the exception of our secured and unsecured debt instruments which are disclosed in Note 18 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” to our consolidated financial statements, are recorded at amounts which, in management’s judgment, reasonably approximate their fair values. We elected not to apply the fair value option for any of our eligible financial instruments or other items. We determine the estimated fair value of financial assets and liabilities utilizing a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to a fair value measurement are considered to be observable or unobservable in a marketplace. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. The following is the fair value hierarchy: •Level 1 – quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets; •Level 2 – quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and •Level 3 – fair value measurements derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. We determine the fair value for the marketable securities using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Our other financial instruments, which are only disclosed at fair value, are comprised of certificates of deposit, secured debt, unsecured senior notes, unsecured revolving credit facility, and unsecured term loan facility. We generally determine the fair value of our secured debt, unsecured senior notes, unsecured revolving credit facility, and unsecured term loan facility by performing discounted cash flow analyses using an appropriate market discount rate. For our fixed-rate debt instruments, including our secured debt and unsecured senior notes, we calculate the market rate by obtaining period-end treasury rates for maturities that correspond to the maturities of our fixed-rate debt and then adding an appropriate credit spread based on information obtained from third-party financial institutions. These credit spreads take into account factors, including, but not limited to, our credit profile, the tenure of the debt, amortization period, whether the debt is secured or unsecured, and the loan-to-value ratio of the debt to the collateral. These calculations are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate, credit spreads, and estimates of future cash flows. We determine the fair value of each of our publicly traded unsecured senior notes based on their quoted trading price at the end of the reporting period, if such prices are available. For our floating-rate debt instruments, including our unsecured line of credit agreement and unsecured term loan, we calculate the market rate by obtaining Adjusted SOFR and then adding an appropriate credit spread based on our credit ratings.

| Income Taxes | Income Taxes We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code. To qualify as a REIT, we must distribute annually at least 90% of our adjusted taxable income, as defined in the Code, to our stockholders and satisfy certain other organizational and operating requirements. We generally will not be subject to federal income taxes if we distribute 100% of our taxable income for each year to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income taxes on our taxable income at regular corporate rates and we may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years. Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and property and to federal income taxes and excise taxes on our undistributed taxable income. We believe that we have met all of the REIT distribution and technical requirements for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, and we were not subject to any federal income taxes (See Note 22 “Tax Treatment of Distributions” for additional information).
