Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]  
Investments in and Advances to Affiliates Investments in and Advances to Affiliates
We have interests in various real estate joint ventures that are evaluated for consolidation under the variable interest entity (“VIE”) model or the voting interest model, depending on the facts and circumstances of each joint venture. For our unconsolidated affiliates that are evaluated under the VIE model, we determined that we hold variable interests, but we are not the primary beneficiary because we do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entities’ economic performance. Accordingly, these entities are not consolidated. For our unconsolidated affiliates that are evaluated under the voting interest model, we determined through evaluation of our voting rights that control does not rest with us. Accordingly, these entities are not consolidated. For our consolidated affiliates that are evaluated under the VIE model, we determined that we hold variable interests, and we are the primary beneficiary because we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the entities’ economic performance. Accordingly, these entities are consolidated.

Unconsolidated Affiliates

Our unconsolidated joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method of accounting because we have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the entities. Our maximum exposure to loss from our unconsolidated VIEs is generally limited to the carrying value of our investments and any loans or other advances we have provided to the joint ventures. The assets of these unconsolidated VIEs may be used only to settle their own obligations, and their creditors have no recourse to our wholly owned assets.

The following table summarizes our unconsolidated affiliates as of June 30, 2026:

(1)During the second quarter of 2026, Granite Park Six JV, LLC (“Granite Park Six joint venture”) obtained a secured loan for up to $100.0 million with a maturity date of April 2028 (but can be extended for one additional year at the joint venture’s option assuming no defaults have occurred). In connection with this loan, the Granite Park Six joint venture obtained an interest rate hedge contract that effectively fixed the overall interest rate at 5.9%. As of June 30, 2026, $86.6 million was drawn on this loan. The joint venture used the net proceeds from the secured loan to redeem the preferred equity that we contributed during the first quarter of 2026 and distributed the remainder equally to us and our partner, Granite Properties (“Granite”). As a result of these reconsideration events, the Granite Park Six joint venture is no longer a VIE since it now has sufficient equity at risk. This joint venture is now evaluated under the voting interest model, and the entity remains unconsolidated.
(2)As of June 30, 2026, GPI 23Springs JV, LLC (“23Springs joint venture”) had $192.0 million outstanding under its construction loan, which matures in March 2027.
(3)As of June 30, 2026, Midtown East Tampa, LLC (“Midtown East joint venture”) had $43.7 million outstanding under the loan we previously provided to the joint venture. See Note 13.
(4)As of June 30, 2026, Brand/HRLP 2827 Peachtree LLC (“2827 Peachtree joint venture”) had $51.5 million outstanding under the loan we have provided to the joint venture.
