| Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
| Commitments and Contingencies | 16. Commitments and Contingencies Litigation The Company may be involved in litigation and other proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Other than as described below, as of June 30, 2026, the Company is not involved in any legal proceedings that are expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or liquidity. On July 2, 2021, the Company was named as a defendant in the matter of Hernandez v. Colony Capital, Inc., et al., initially filed in the Superior Court of California, County of Sacramento on February 10, 2020 (the “Lawsuit”). The Lawsuit arises from the 2019 death of a resident at an assisted living facility located on a property that was part of a healthcare real estate investment portfolio owned by the Company prior to its strategic exit from the healthcare sector. In the Lawsuit, the plaintiffs alleged claims including negligence and wrongful death, among others, and sought compensatory and punitive damages. On March 3, 2026, the jury issued a verdict against several defendants, including the Company, for approximately $10.2 million in compensatory damages and $100 million in punitive damages. The court has determined to offset the compensatory damages, for which the Company is jointly and severally liable, using $2.5 million of settlement proceeds from several defendants, including the operator of the facility, that settled with the plaintiffs prior to conclusion of the trial in a settlement that the court ruled was not entered into in good faith. The Company’s share of the punitive damages, based on the jury’s findings, is $92 million. However, as of the filing of this Quarterly Report, no judgment has been entered by the court. The Company disagrees with the verdict and intends to appeal any judgment based on that verdict and pursue all available post-trial remedies. The Company believes there are substantial grounds to challenge both liability findings and the size of the punitive damages award. However, the timing and outcome of post-trial proceedings and any appeal are uncertain, and the Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the Lawsuit. The Company believes any compensatory damages would be adequately covered by insurance, although the Company cannot be certain of ultimate recovery at this time. The Company continues to operate its business in the ordinary course and no longer owns or operates healthcare-related assets, having divested its healthcare portfolio in 2022. The Company has accrued a contingent loss of $7.7 million in discontinued operations in 2026, which management believes to be a reasonable estimate of the probable loss incurred as of the reporting date. It is reasonably possible that an exposure to loss may exceed the amount accrued and that such excess could be significant. However, because the Lawsuit remains subject to significant uncertainties, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the range of possible loss that may be attributable to liabilities, if any, in excess of the amount accrued. The Company’s contingent liability will be adjusted based upon future developments.
