Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements of Columbia Property Trust have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the statements for the unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair and consistent presentation of the results for such periods. Results for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of a full year's results. For additional information on Columbia Property Trust's unconsolidated joint ventures, which are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, see Note 4, Unconsolidated Joint Ventures . Columbia Property Trust's consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Columbia Property Trust, Columbia OP, and any variable-interest entity in which Columbia Property Trust or Columbia OP is deemed the primary beneficiary. With respect to entities that are not variable interest entities, Columbia Property Trust's consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of any entity in which Columbia Property Trust, Columbia OP, or their subsidiaries own a controlling financial interest and any limited partnership in which Columbia Property Trust, Columbia OP, or their subsidiaries own a controlling general partnership interest. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes included in Columbia Property Trust's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the "2019 Form 10-K"). Fair Value Measurements Columbia Property Trust estimates the fair value of its assets and liabilities (where currently required under GAAP) consistent with the provisions of Accounting Standard Codification 820, Fair Value Measurements ("ASC 820"). Under this standard, fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. While various techniques and assumptions can be used to estimate fair value depending on the nature of the asset or liability, the accounting standard for fair value measurements and disclosures provides the following fair value technique parameters and hierarchy, depending upon availability: Level 1 – Assets or liabilities for which the identical term is traded on an active exchange, such as publicly traded instruments or futures contracts. Level 2 – Assets or liabilities valued based on observable market data for similar instruments. Level 3 – Assets or liabilities for which significant valuation assumptions are not readily observable in the market. Such assets or liabilities are valued based on the best available data, some of which may be internally developed. Significant assumptions may include risk premiums that a market participant would consider. Real Estate Assets Columbia Property Trust is required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of its depreciable assets. To determine the appropriate useful life of an asset, Columbia Property Trust considers the period of future benefit of the asset. These assessments have a direct impact on net income. The estimated useful lives of its assets by class are as follows: Buildings 40 years Building and site improvements 5-25 years Tenant improvements Shorter of economic life or lease term Intangible lease assets Lease term As further described in Note 5, Line of Credit and Notes Payable , Columbia Property Trust capitalizes interest incurred on outstanding debt balances as well as joint venture investments, as appropriate, during development or redevelopment of real estate held directly or in unconsolidated joint ventures. During the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, $2.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of interest was capitalized to construction in progress; and during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, $0.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively, of interest was capitalized to investments in unconsolidated joint ventures. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, $7.3 million and $2.9 million, respectively, was capitalized to construction in progress; and during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, $1.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively, was capitalized to investments in unconsolidated joint ventures. Tenant Receivables Tenant receivables consist of rental and reimbursement billings due from tenants. Tenant receivables are recorded at the original amount earned, which approximates fair value. Management assesses the realizability of tenant receivables on an ongoing basis. When the collectability of tenant receivables is not considered probable, the receivable is written-down against lease revenues. In the third-quarter of 2020, $0.4 million of tenant receivables were written-down against lease revenues. Straight-Line Rent Receivable Straight-line rent receivable reflects the amount of cumulative adjustments necessary to present rental income on a straight-line basis. Columbia Property Trust recognizes rental revenues on a straight-line basis, ratably over the term of each lease; however, leases often provide for payment terms that differ from the revenue recognized. When the amount of cash billed is less than the amount of revenue recognized, typically early in the lease, straight-line rent receivable is recorded for the difference. The receivable is depleted during periods later in the lease when the amount of cash paid by the tenant is greater than the amount of revenue recognized. When the collection of rental billings is not considered probable, tenants are moved to "cash basis billings," at which point the corresponding straight-line rent receivable is written-down against lease revenues, and future revenues are recognized upon receipt of payment. In the third quarter of 2020, approximately $50,000 of straight-line rent receivables were written-down against lease revenues. Assets Held for Sale Columbia Property Trust classifies properties as held for sale according to Accounting Standard Codification 360, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ("ASC 360"). According to ASC 360, properties having separately identifiable operations and cash flows are considered held for sale when all of the following criteria are met: • Management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the property. • The property is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such property. • An active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the property have been initiated. • The property is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value. • Actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. • The sale of the property is probable (i.e., typically subject to a binding sale contract with a non-refundable deposit), and transfer of the property is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year. The following properties met the above-described criteria and were classified as held for sale in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of the following dates: September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 221 Main Street Cranberry Woods Drive Pasadena Corporate Park On October 8, 2020, the Company contributed 221 Main Street to a joint venture, and simultaneously sold a 45% interest in this joint venture. The sale of Cranberry Woods Drive closed on January 16, 2020, and the sale of Pasadena Corporate Park closed on March 31, 2020. See Note 3, Transactions, for more information regarding these transactions. The major classes of assets and liabilities classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, are provided below (in thousands): September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Real Estate Assets Held for Sale: Real estate assets, at cost: Land $ 60,509 $ 57,117 Buildings and improvements, less accumulated depreciation of $44,283 and $80,543, as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively 146,360 157,701 Intangible lease assets, less accumulated amortization of $1,788 as of September 30, 2020 654 — Construction in progress 955 138 Total real estate assets held for sale, net $ 208,478 $ 214,956 Other Assets Held for Sale: Tenant receivables $ 64 $ 156 Straight-line rent receivable 10,839 12,591 Prepaid expenses and other assets 463 334 Intangible lease origination costs, less accumulated amortization of $266 as of September 30, 2020 24 — Deferred lease costs, less accumulated amortization of $2,691 and $10,222, as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively 4,197 10,836 Total other assets held for sale, net $ 15,587 $ 23,917 Liabilities Held for Sale: Accounts payable, accrued expenses, and accrued capital expenditures $ 2,960 $ 1,151 Deferred income 1,019 1,903 Intangible lease liabilities, less accumulated amortization of $718 as of September 30, 2020 93 — Total liabilities held for sale $ 4,072 $ 3,054 Evaluating the Recoverability of Real Estate Assets Columbia Property Trust continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the net carrying amounts of its real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities, of both operating properties and properties under development or redevelopment, may not be recoverable. When indicators of potential impairment are present that suggest that the net carrying amounts of real estate assets and related intangible assets and liabilities may not be recoverable, Columbia Property Trust assesses the recoverability of these net assets by determining whether the respective carrying values will be recovered through the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected from the use of the net assets and their eventual disposition. In the event that such expected undiscounted future cash flows do not exceed the carrying values, Columbia Property Trust adjusts the carrying values of the real estate assets and related intangible assets and liabilities to the estimated fair values, pursuant to the property, plant, and equipment accounting standard for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, and recognizes an impairment loss. At such time that a property is required to be classified as held for sale, its net carrying amount is adjusted to the lower of its depreciated book value or its estimated fair value, less costs to sell, and depreciation is no longer recognized. Estimated fair values are calculated based on the following hierarchy of information: (i) recently quoted market prices, (ii) market prices for comparable properties, or (iii) the present value of future cash flows, including estimated residual value. Projections of expected future operating cash flows require that Columbia Property Trust estimate future market rental income amounts subsequent to the expiration of current lease agreements, property operating expenses, the number of months it takes to re-lease the property, and the number of years the property is held for investment, among other factors. Due to the inherent subjectivity of the assumptions used to project future cash flows, estimated fair values may differ from the values that would be realized in market transactions. Certain of Columbia Property Trust's assets may be carried at an amount that exceeds that which could be realized in a current disposition transaction. Columbia Property Trust has determined that the carrying values of its real estate assets and related intangible assets are recoverable as of September 30, 2020. Intangible Assets and Liabilities Arising From In-Place Leases Where Columbia Property Trust Is the Lessor Upon the acquisition of real properties, Columbia Property Trust allocates the purchase price of the properties to tangible assets, consisting of land, building, site improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, including the value of in-place leases, based in each case on Columbia Property Trust's estimate of their fair values in accordance with ASC 820 (see "Fair Value Measurements" section above for additional detail). As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, Columbia Property Trust had the following intangible assets and liabilities, arising from in-place leases, excluding amounts held for sale, if applicable (in thousands): Intangible Lease Assets Intangible Intangible Above-Market Absorption September 30, 2020 Gross $ 2,481 $ 105,401 $ 57,714 $ 27,733 Accumulated Amortization (1,331) (56,674) (34,376) (11,038) Net $ 1,150 $ 48,727 $ 23,338 $ 16,695 December 31, 2019 Gross $ 2,481 $ 117,203 $ 61,702 $ 36,966 Accumulated Amortization (1,202) (57,457) (33,731) (15,127) Net $ 1,279 $ 59,746 $ 27,971 $ 21,839 Amortization of Intangible Assets and Liabilities Arising From In-Place Leases For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, Columbia Property Trust recognized the following amortization of intangible lease assets and liabilities (in thousands): Intangible Lease Assets Intangible Intangible Above-Market Absorption For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 $ 43 $ 3,089 $ 1,433 $ 1,313 For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 $ 80 $ 3,423 $ 1,946 $ 1,354 For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 $ 128 $ 10,127 $ 4,498 $ 4,463 For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 $ 244 $ 10,613 $ 6,066 $ 4,181 The net intangible assets and liabilities remaining as of September 30, 2020 will be amortized as follows, excluding amounts held for sale, if applicable (in thousands): Intangible Lease Assets Intangible Intangible Above-Market Absorption For the remainder of 2020 $ 44 $ 2,754 $ 1,372 $ 996 For the years ending December 31: 2021 172 9,108 4,484 2,987 2022 172 7,765 3,409 2,757 2023 172 6,284 2,885 2,180 2024 172 5,478 2,575 1,933 2025 172 4,090 1,924 1,367 Thereafter 246 13,248 6,689 4,475 $ 1,150 $ 48,727 $ 23,338 $ 16,695 Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures Columbia Property Trust uses the equity method to account for investments that are not wholly owned and: (i) are considered variable interest entities where the Company is not the primary beneficiary, or (ii) in which the Company, along with its co-owners, possesses substantive participation rights, including management selection and termination, and the approval of significant capital and operating decisions. Under the equity method, investments in unconsolidated joint ventures are recorded at cost and adjusted for cash contributions and distributions, and allocations of income or loss. Investments in Real Estate Funds In connection with the Normandy Acquisition described in Note 3, Transactions , Columbia Property Trust acquired general partnership interests and limited partnership interests in three real estate funds: Normandy Real Estate Fund III, LP; Normandy Real Estate Fund IV, LP; and Normandy Opportunity Zone Fund, LP (collectively, the "Real Estate Funds"). The Company owns minimal economic interests in the Real Estate Funds (ranging from 2.0% to 2.5%). Significant decision rights are shared between the general partners and limited partners; and the general partner can be removed with a majority vote from the limited partners. As a result, Columbia Property Trust accounts for its investments in the Real Estate Funds using the equity method. The Real Estate Funds are subject to the rules of the AICPA Investment Company Guide; as a result, GAAP requires the Company to record its investments in the Real Estate Funds at their respective estimated fair market values. The Company determines the Real Estate Funds' estimated net asset values per share using a discounted cash flow model, which is considered a Level 3 valuation technique (see "Fair Value Measurements " section above). As of September 30, 2020, investments in the Real Estate Funds of approximately $4.3 million are included in prepaid expenses and other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. From January 24, 2020 (date of acquisition) through September 30, 2020, Columbia Property Trust recognized an unrealized loss on its investments in Real Estate Funds of approximately $0.6 million, which is recorded as other income (loss) in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Columbia Property Trust has entered into agreements to provide acquisition, disposition, investment management, property management, leasing, and other services to the properties in which the Real Estate Funds own interests. See Note 12, Non-Lease Revenues , for more details. From time to time, Columbia Property Trust may be required to make additional capital contributions to the Real Estate Funds. See Note 7, Commitments and Contingencies , for more details . Goodwill Goodwill represents purchase price not specifically assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. On January 24, 2020, Columbia Property Trust recorded goodwill of $63.8 million in connection with the Normandy Acquisition (see Note 3, Transactions for details). Columbia Property Trust assesses the recoverability of goodwill on an annual basis, and on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may be impaired. When indicators of potential impairment exist, Columbia evaluates whether the carrying value of the reporting unit to which the goodwill relates exceeds the reporting unit's estimated fair value. If the reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value, then goodwill would be reduced, and an impairment loss would be recognized, for the amount of this excess (not to exceed total goodwill). Columbia Property Trust has determined that the carrying value of goodwill is recoverable as of September 30, 2020. Interest Rate Swap Agreements Columbia Property Trust enters into interest rate swap contracts to mitigate its interest rate risk on the related financial instruments. Columbia Property Trust does not enter into derivative or interest rate swap transactions for speculative purposes and currently does not have any derivatives that are not designated as hedges; however, certain of its derivatives may, at times, not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Columbia Property Trust records the fair value of its interest rate swaps on its consolidated balance sheet either as prepaid expenses and other assets or as accounts payable, accrued expenses, and accrued capital expenditures. Changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps that are designated as cash flow hedges are recorded as other comprehensive income (loss). Changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment are recorded as gain or loss on interest rate swaps. Amounts received or paid under interest rate swap agreements are recorded as interest expense for contracts that qualify for hedge accounting treatment and as gain or loss on interest rate swaps for contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. As of September 30, 2020, Columbia Property Trust has two interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional value of $450.0 million. The following tables provide additional information related to Columbia Property Trust's interest rate swaps (in thousands): Estimated Fair Value as of Instrument Type Balance Sheet Classification September 30, December 31, Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments: Interest rate contracts Prepaid expenses and other assets $ — $ 551 Interest rate contracts Accounts payable $ 20,921 $ 1,652 Columbia Property Trust applied the provisions of ASC 820 in recording its interest rate swaps at fair value. The fair values of the interest rate swaps, classified under Level 2, were determined using a third-party proprietary model that is based on prevailing market data for contracts with matching durations, current and anticipated London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") information, and reasonable estimates about relevant future market conditions. Columbia Property Trust has determined that the fair value, as determined by the third party, is reasonable. Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 2020 2019 2020 2019 Market value adjustment to interest rate swaps designated as hedging instruments and included in other comprehensive income (loss) $ 1,691 $ (3,068) $ (19,820) $ (7,103) During the periods presented, no hedge ineffectiveness was required to be recognized into earnings on the interest rate swaps that qualified for hedge accounting treatment. Noncontrolling Interests Noncontrolling interests represent the portion of equity in consolidated entities that is owned by third parties. Noncontrolling interests are adjusted for cash contributions and distributions, and for earnings. Such earnings are allocated between the Company and noncontrolling interests using the hypothetical liquidation at book value method pursuant to the terms of the respective ownership agreements, and are reflected as net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Income Taxes Columbia Property Trust has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and has operated as such beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 2003. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, as defined by the Code, to its stockholders. To the extent that Columbia Property Trust satisfies the distribution requirement but distributes less than 100% of its REIT taxable income, the Company would be subject to federal and state corporate income tax on the undistributed income. Generally, the Company does not incur federal income taxes, other than as described in the following paragraph, because its stockholder distributions typically exceed its taxable income due to noncash expenses such as depreciation. Columbia Property Trust is, however, subject to certain state and local taxes related to the operations of properties in certain locations, which have been provided for in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Columbia Property Trust TRS, LLC; Columbia KCP TRS, LLC; Columbia Development TRS 13, LLC; and Columbia Development TRS 87, LLC (collectively, the "TRS Entities") are subsidiaries of the Company and are organized as Delaware limited liability companies. The TRS Entities, among other things, provide services related to asset and property management, construction and development, and other tenant services that Columbia Property Trust, as a REIT, cannot otherwise provide. The Company has elected to treat the TRS Entities as taxable REIT subsidiaries. Columbia Property Trust may perform certain additional, noncustomary services for tenants of its buildings through the TRS Entities; however, earnings of a TRS entity are subject to federal and state income taxes. In addition, for the Company to continue to qualify as a REIT, Columbia Property Trust must limit its investments in taxable REIT subsidiaries to 20% of the value of the total assets. The TRS Entities' deferred tax assets and liabilities represent temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities based on the enacted rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. If applicable, the Company records interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Reclassification Certain prior-period amounts on the consolidated statement of operations have been reclassified to conform with the current-period's presentation: property operating costs include amounts previously reported as asset and property management fees; and management fee expense includes amounts previously reported as general and administrative – joint venture. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In April 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance on accounting for lease amendments resulting from the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, Topic 842 and Topic 840: Accounting for Lease Concessions Related to the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic. The guidance provides a policy election that allows issuers to account for rent concessions as a continuation of the existing lease, instead of as a lease modification (the "COVID-19 Concession Option") as required under existing GAAP. To be eligible for the COVID-19 Concession Option, aggregate future rent payments cannot be materially more under the amended lease terms than under the original lease terms. Issuers must apply the accounting method selected consistently to leases with similar characteristics and circumstances. • Rent abatements : Under the COVID-19 Concession Option, revenues are reduced for rent abatements (past and future) in the period of execution, and future straight-line rental income is unchanged. Conversely, without adopting the COVID-19 Concession Option, revenues are reduced for past rents forgiven by writing down the related receivables in the period of execution, and future straight-line income is reduced for future rent reductions. Columbia Property Trust has elected to account for rent abatements under existing GAAP. Through September 30, 2020, Columbia Property Trust has abated $0.5 million in rental billings, including the Company's proportionate share of rents earned through unconsolidated joint ventures. • Rent deferrals : Under the COVID-19 Concession Option, rent deferrals may be accounted for as either (a) payment plans, where rents are billed and revenues are recorded on the same schedule; or as (b) variable lease payments, where revenues are not recognized until the amounts become payable in the future based on the amended terms. Conversely, without adopting the COVID-19 Concession option, revenues are recorded on the same schedule, however, deferred rents are recharacterized as straight-line rent receivables until payable. Columbia Property Trust has elected to account for rent deferrals as a lease modification under existing GAAP. Through September 30, 2020, Columbia Property Trust has deferred payments of $2.7 million, including the Company's proportionate share of rents earned through unconsolidated joint ventures. Accounting Standard Update 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform ("ASC 2020-04"), which was issued on and effective as of March 12, 2020, addresses the accounting and disclosure impacts of reference rate reform and the anticipated discontinuance of LIBOR. ASU 2020-04 provides optional guidance that may be elected over time, and includes practical expedients for activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives, and other contracts. Columbia Property Trust has matched LIBOR-based debt with LIBOR-based interest rate swaps, and has elected to apply the ASU 2020-04's practical expedients related to (i) probability and (ii) the assessment of the effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows, which assume that the debt instrument will use the same index rate as its corresponding interest rate swap, once a new reference rate is established to replace LIBOR. Application of these expedients preserves the effectiveness of the Company's interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges in the event that its debt and interest rate swaps are not amended concurrently to reflect a new reference rate. Columbia Property Trust continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as additional reference rate changes occur. ASU 2020-04 did not have a material impact on Columbia Property Trust's consolidated financial statements or disclosures. Accounting Standard Update 2018-13 , Fair Value Measurement: Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement ("ASU 2018-13"), which became effective for Columbia Property Trust on January 1, 2020, is intended to improve the effectiveness of disclosures required by entities regarding recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements by removing, modifying, or adding certain disclosures. ASU 2018-13 did not have a material impact on Columbia Property Trust's consolidated financial statements or disclosures. Recent Disclosure Pronouncement The SEC's Final Rule Release No. 33-10762, Financial Disclosures About Guarantors and Issuers of Guaranteed Securities and Affiliates Whose Securities Collateralize a Registrant's Securities (the "SEC Release No. 33-10762") was issued on March 2, 2020 and adopted by Columbia Property Trust in the first quarter of 2020. With respect to the disclosure requirements for subsidiary issuers and guarantors of registered debt securities, SEC Release No. 33-10762 amends SEC Rule 3-10 by, among other things: • Simplifying the criteria that must be met for a parent registrant to qualify for an exemption allowing it to provide summarized financial information in lieu of standalone audited financial statements of the subsidiary issuer, including replacing the requirement that a subsidiary issuer be wholly owned by the parent guarantor with a requirement that the subsidiary issuer be consolidated in the parent guarantor's financial statements. • Upon qualifying for the exemption above, replacing the previous requirement to include condensed consolidating financial information in the registrant's (parent guarantor's) financial statements with a requirement to include certain summarized financial information (Alternative Disclosures) in either the registrant's financial statement footnotes or in its Management’s Discussion and Analysis. The Company's Bonds Payable (see Note 6, Bonds Payable ) were issued by Columbia OP, and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Columbia Property Trust and by no other party. Columbia Property Trust owns 97.2% of Columbia OP, and includes the accounts of Columbia OP in its consolidated financial statements. Therefore, upon adopting SEC Release No. 33-10762 in the first quarter of 2020, the Company is providing Alternative Disclosures within Item 2.

Real Estate [Abstract] | |
Transactions | Transactions Normandy Acquisition On January 24, 2020, Columbia Property Trust acquired Normandy Real Estate Management, LLC ("Normandy"), a developer, operator, and investment manager of office and mixed-use assets with a focus on assets in New York, Boston, and Washington, D.C. (the "Normandy Acquisition"). As a result of the Normandy Acquisition, the Company acquired an operating platform, interests in the Real Estate Funds, and contracts to earn fees for providing management services to properties affiliated with the Real Estate Funds (see Note 12, Non-Lease Revenues , for details). The purchase price, exclusive of adjustments and transaction costs, is comprised of two components: (i) an approximately $14.0 million cash payment, and (ii) the issuance of 3,264,151 Series A Convertible, Perpetual Preferred Units of Columbia OP with a liquidation preference of $26.50 per unit (the "Preferred OP Units"). The Preferred OP Units are convertible for common units of Columbia OP, which are exchangeable into shares of Columbia Property Trust's common stock, subject to certain terms and conditions. As of the closing date of the acquisition, the Preferred OP Units had an estimated fair value of $24.43. The fair value of the Preferred OP Units was determined using a lattice valuation model, utilizing significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies ). The initial purchase consideration was allocated as follows (in thousands): January 24, 2020 Goodwill $ 63,806 Prepaid expenses and other assets (1) 7,670 Cash 1,260 Operating lease assets 934 Investments in unconsolidated joint ventures (2) 419 Accounts payable, accrued expenses, and accrued capital expenditures (2,881) Operating lease liabilities (934) Deferred income (77) Total initial purchase consideration $ 70,197 (1) Prepaid expenses and other assets includes $3.7 million of investments in Real Estate Funds, as described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies . (2) Reflects interests in five unconsolidated joint ventures that earn fees for providing management services to properties affiliated with the Real Estate Funds. In addition, approximately $24.4 million will be recorded as compensation expense over the next four years based on the vesting periods of the respective Preferred OP Units. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, Columbia Property Trust incurred $12.8 million of transaction costs related to the Normandy Acquisition, which include legal, advisory, and other professional services fees and are reflected as acquisition costs on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. For the period from January 24, 2020 through September 30, 2020, Columbia Property Trust recognized additional revenues of $19.3 million and net income, excluding the impact of acquisition costs, of $3.3 million as a result of the Normandy Acquisition.

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract] | |
Unconsolidated Joint Ventures | Unconsolidated Joint Ventures As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, Columbia Property Trust owned interests in the following properties through joint ventures, which are accounted for using the equity method of accounting (in thousands): Carrying Value of Investment (1) Joint Venture Property Name Geographic Market Ownership Interest September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Market Square Joint Venture Market Square Washington, D.C. 51.00 % $ 135,854 $ 135,557 University Circle Joint Venture University Circle San Francisco 55.00 % 279,277 283,633 333 Market Street Joint Venture 333 Market Street San Francisco 55.00 % 266,917 269,638 114 Fifth Avenue Joint Venture 114 Fifth Avenue New York 49.50 % 79,305 87,750 1800 M Street Joint Venture 1800 M Street Washington, D.C. 55.00 % 228,993 233,196 799 Broadway Joint Venture (2) 799 Broadway New York, NY 49.70 % 50,705 44,686 Terminal Warehouse Joint Venture (2) Terminal Warehouse New York, NY 8.65 % 42,898 — Real Estate Services Joint Ventures (3) n/a (3) n/a (3) Various (3) 1,038 — $ 1,084,987 $ 1,054,460 (1) Includes basis differences. There are aggregate net differences between the historical costs recorded at the joint venture level, and Columbia Property Trust's investments in unconsolidated joint ventures of $288.1 million and $279.2 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Such basis differences result from the timing of each partner's joint venture interest acquisition; and formation costs incurred by Columbia Property Trust. Basis differences are amortized to income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures over the lives of the underlying assets or liabilities. (2) Columbia Property Trust capitalized interest on its investment in the 799 Broadway Joint Venture and the Terminal Warehouse Joint Venture: $0.5 million and $0.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively; and $1.3 million and $0.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. (3) Columbia Property Trust owns the following interests in five unconsolidated joint ventures that earn fees for providing management services to properties affiliated with the Real Estate Funds (the "Real Estate Services Joint Ventures"): L&L Normandy Terminal Asset Manager, LLC (67%); L&L Normandy Terminal Development Manager, LLC (50%); L&L Normandy Terminal Property Manager (50%) (collectively, the "Terminal Services Joint Ventures"); WNK Maiden Management (50%); and Maple AB Services, LLC (55%). The Terminal Services Joint Ventures earn fees from providing services to the Terminal Warehouse Joint Venture. Columbia Property Trust has determined that two of its unconsolidated joint ventures are variable interest entities and the Company is not the primary beneficiary. Therefore, the Company uses the equity method of accounting to record its investment in these joint ventures. For the remaining joint ventures, Columbia Property Trust and its partners have substantive participation rights in the unconsolidated joint ventures, including management selection and termination, and the approval of operating and capital decisions. As such, Columbia Property Trust also uses the equity method of accounting to record its investment in these joint ventures. Under the equity method, investments in unconsolidated joint ventures are recorded at cost and adjusted for cash contributions and distributions, and allocations of income or loss. Columbia Property Trust evaluates the recoverability of its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures in accordance with accounting standards for equity investments by first reviewing the investment for any indicators of impairment. If indicators are present, Columbia Property Trust estimates the fair value of the investment. If the carrying value of the investment exceeds the estimated fair value, management makes an assessment of whether the deficit is "temporary" or "other-than-temporary," and if "other-than-temporary," reduces the carrying value to reflect the estimated fair value by recording an impairment loss. In making this assessment, management considers the following: (1) the length of time and the extent to which fair value has been less than cost and (2) Columbia Property Trust's intent and ability to retain its interest long enough for a recovery in market value. Based on the analysis described above, Columbia Property Trust has determined that none of its investments in joint ventures are impaired as of September 30, 2020. Condensed Combined Financial Information Summarized balance sheet information for each of the unconsolidated joint ventures is as follows (in thousands): Total Assets Total Debt Total Equity (1) September 30, December 31, 2019 September 30, December 31, 2019 September 30, December 31, 2019 Market Square Joint Venture $ 574,829 $ 582,747 $ 324,854 (2) $ 324,815 $ 240,536 $ 241,719 University Circle Joint Venture 216,311 216,546 — — 212,065 212,656 333 Market Street Joint Venture 360,072 367,652 — — 346,635 352,385 114 Fifth Avenue Joint Venture 469,957 485,442 — — 111,711 127,554 1800 M Street Joint Venture 427,405 437,439 — — 414,015 421,588 799 Broadway Joint Venture 240,112 201,210 133,666 (3) 109,735 94,851 85,316 Terminal Warehouse Joint Venture 1,044,557 — 642,385 (4) — 370,330 — Real Estate Services Joint Ventures 2,949 — 683 — 2,267 — $ 3,336,192 $ 2,291,036 $ 1,101,588 $ 434,550 $ 1,792,410 $ 1,441,218 (1) Excludes basis differences (see footnote (1) to the Carrying Value of Investment table above), which are amortized to income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures over the lives of the underlying assets or liabilities.

Leases [Abstract] | |
Leases | Leases Columbia Property Trust as Lessee Columbia Property Trust is a lessee on ground leases at certain of its investment properties and office space leases. As of September 30, 2020, Columbia Property Trust has one ground lease at 116 Huntington Avenue in Boston. In August 2020, the Company extended the term of this ground lease to 99 years, expiring in 2119, for a $10.0 million payment. As a result, as of September 30, 2020, Columbia Property Trust's ground lease has a remaining lease term of 98.9 years, inclusive of renewal options, and is included in operating lease assets of $39.5 million. Payments for all future periods under this ground lease have already been made. Thus, as of September 30, 2020, operating lease liabilities of $2.5 million include only the present value of future payments due under two office leases, with a weighted-average remaining lease term of 2.3 years, inclusive of renewal options. Columbia Property Trust as Lessor Columbia Property Trust owns and leases commercial real estate, primarily office space, to tenants under operating leases for specified periods of time. Rental income related to such leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease period, and is included in lease revenues on the consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2020, the weighted-average remaining term for such leases is approximately 6.1 years. Lease revenues include fixed and variable payments. Fixed payments primarily relate to base rent and include payments related to lease terminations; and variable payments primarily relate to tenant reimbursements for certain property operating costs.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
Non-Lease Revenues | Non-Lease Revenues Columbia Property Trust derives most of its revenues from leases, as described in Note 11, Leases . Columbia Property Trust also has the following non-lease revenue streams. Management Fee Revenue Under asset and property management agreements in place with third parties and certain of its unconsolidated joint ventures, Columbia Property Trust earns revenue for performing asset and property management functions for properties owned by the Real Estate Funds and its joint ventures, as further described in Note 4, Unconsolidated Joint Ventures , as well as third-party-owned properties. Asset and property management services are ongoing and routine, and are provided on a recurring basis. Therefore such fees are recognized ratably over the service period, usually a period of three months. For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, Columbia Property Trust earned management fee revenues of $4.1 million and $1.9 million, respectively; and for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, Columbia Property Trust earned management fee revenues of $11.4 million and $5.7 million, respectively, under these agreements. Leasing Fees Under asset and property management agreements in place with third parties and for certain properties owned by joint ventures and the Real Estate Funds, Columbia Property Trust is eligible to earn leasing fees equal to a percentage of the total rental payments to be made by the tenant over the term of the lease. Such fees are required to be recognized when Columbia Property Trust's obligation to perform is complete, typically upon execution of the lease. For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, Columbia Property Trust earned leasing override fees of $253,300 and $52,500, respectively; and for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, Columbia Property Trust earned leasing override fees of $284,500 and $74,600, respectively. Such fees are included in management fee revenue on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Construction and Development Fee Income Under construction and development contracts in place with third-party properties and for certain properties owned by joint ventures and the Real Estate Funds, Columbia Property Trust earns fees related to construction and development project management and supervision, using a percentage of completion method, measured by the percentage of costs incurred to date as compared with the estimated total costs for each contract. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, Columbia Property Trust earned construction and development fees of $0.7 million and $2.6 million, respectively. Such fees are included in management fee revenue on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Salary and Other Reimbursement Revenue Under the property management agreements for third-party-owned properties and certain properties owned through joint ventures and the Real Estate Funds, Columbia Property Trust receives reimbursements for salaries and property operating costs for services that are provided by Columbia Property Trust employees on an ongoing basis. Such reimbursement revenues are recognized ratably over the service period, usually a period of one month, three months, or one year. For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, Columbia Property Trust earned salary and other reimbursement revenue of $3.6 million and $1.1 million, respectively; and, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, Columbia Property Trust earned salary and other reimbursement revenue of $11.1 million and $3.3 million, respectively. These amounts are included in management fee revenues in 2020, and in other property income in 2019, on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Miscellaneous Revenue Columbia Property Trust also receives revenues for services provided to its tenants through the TRS Entities, including fitness centers, shuttles, and cafeterias. These revenues are recognized ratably over the service period, usually a period of one month or one quarter. For the three months ended September 30, 2019, Columbia Property Trust earned miscellaneous revenue of $17,900; and for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, Columbia Property Trust earned miscellaneous revenue of $7,100 and $253,300, respectively.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings Per Share | Earnings Per Share For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, in computing the basic and diluted earnings per share, net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders has been reduced for the dividends paid on unvested shares granted under the LTI Plan. The effect of the conversion of the Preferred OP Units to common shares is excluded from the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share because all income (loss) attributable to the Preferred OP Units is recorded as income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests, thus is excluded from net income (loss) available to common stockholders. The following table reconciles the numerator for the basic and diluted earnings-per-share computations shown on the consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 2020 2019 2020 2019 Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders $ 5,367 $ (20,286) $ 16,742 $ 30,974 Distributions paid on unvested shares (113) (77) (340) (232) Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share $ 5,254 $ (20,363) $ 16,402 $ 30,742 The following table reconciles the denominator for the basic and diluted earnings-per-share computations shown on the consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively (in thousands): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 2020 2019 2020 2019 Weighted-average common shares – basic 113,925 116,522 114,099 116,498 Plus incremental weighted-average shares from time-vested conversions, less assumed stock repurchases: Previously granted awards, unvested — 123 — 102 Future period LTI Plan awards — 176 — 162 Weighted-average common shares – diluted 113,925 116,821 114,099 116,762 |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment Information | Segment Information Columbia Property Trust establishes operating segments at the property level and aggregates individual properties into reportable segments for high-barrier-to-entry markets and other geographic locations in which Columbia Property Trust has significant investments. Columbia Property Trust considers geographic location when evaluating its portfolio composition and in assessing the ongoing operations and performance of its properties. As of September 30, 2020, Columbia Property Trust had the following reportable segments: New York, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., Boston, and all other office markets. The all other office markets reportable segment includes properties that are situated similarly within their geographic markets, typically including sub-markets not located within central business districts, and in which Columbia Property Trust does not have a substantial presence and does not plan to make further investments. Upon selling its remaining properties in Atlanta during 2019 and Los Angeles in March of 2020, Columbia Property Trust has combined Atlanta, Los Angeles, and the all other office markets reportable segment for all periods presented. During the periods presented, there have been no material intersegment transactions. Net operating income ("NOI") is a non-GAAP financial measure. NOI is the primary performance measure reviewed by management to assess operating performance of properties and is calculated by deducting operating expenses from operating revenues. Operating revenues include lease revenues and other property income; and operating expenses include property operating costs. The NOI performance metric consists only of revenues and expenses directly related to real estate rental operations. NOI reflects property acquisitions and dispositions, occupancy levels, rental rate increases or decreases, and the recoverability of operating expenses. NOI, as Columbia Property Trust calculates it, may not be directly comparable to similarly titled, but differently calculated, measures for other REITs. Asset information and capital expenditures by segment are not reported because Columbia Property Trust does not use these measures to assess performance. Depreciation and amortization expense, along with other expense and income items, are not allocated among segments. The following table presents operating revenues included in NOI by geographic reportable segment for Columbia Property Trust's respective ownership interests (in thousands): Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 New York (1) $ 50,158 $ 39,439 $ 136,895 $ 117,109 San Francisco (2) 33,973 27,866 103,476 83,650 Washington, D.C.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) | 9 Months Ended |
Sep. 30, 2020 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements of Columbia Property Trust have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the statements for the unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair and consistent presentation of the results for such periods. Results for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of a full year's results. For additional information on Columbia Property Trust's unconsolidated joint ventures, which are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, see Note 4, Unconsolidated Joint Ventures |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements Columbia Property Trust estimates the fair value of its assets and liabilities (where currently required under GAAP) consistent with the provisions of Accounting Standard Codification 820, Fair Value Measurements ("ASC 820"). Under this standard, fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. While various techniques and assumptions can be used to estimate fair value depending on the nature of the asset or liability, the accounting standard for fair value measurements and disclosures provides the following fair value technique parameters and hierarchy, depending upon availability: Level 1 – Assets or liabilities for which the identical term is traded on an active exchange, such as publicly traded instruments or futures contracts. Level 2 – Assets or liabilities valued based on observable market data for similar instruments. |
Real Estate Assets | Real Estate Assets Columbia Property Trust is required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of its depreciable assets. To determine the appropriate useful life of an asset, Columbia Property Trust considers the period of future benefit of the asset. These assessments have a direct impact on net income. The estimated useful lives of its assets by class are as follows: Buildings 40 years Building and site improvements 5-25 years Tenant improvements Shorter of economic life or lease term Intangible lease assets Lease term |
Tenant Receivables | Tenant Receivables Tenant receivables consist of rental and reimbursement billings due from tenants. Tenant receivables are recorded at the original amount earned, which approximates fair value. Management assesses the realizability of tenant receivables on an ongoing basis. When the collectability of tenant receivables is not considered probable, the receivable is written-down against lease revenues. |
Straight-Line Rent Receivable | Straight-Line Rent ReceivableStraight-line rent receivable reflects the amount of cumulative adjustments necessary to present rental income on a straight-line basis. Columbia Property Trust recognizes rental revenues on a straight-line basis, ratably over the term of each lease; however, leases often provide for payment terms that differ from the revenue recognized. When the amount of cash billed is less than the amount of revenue recognized, typically early in the lease, straight-line rent receivable is recorded for the difference. The receivable is depleted during periods later in the lease when the amount of cash paid by the tenant is greater than the amount of revenue recognized. When the collection of rental billings is not considered probable, tenants are moved to "cash basis billings," at which point the corresponding straight-line rent receivable is written-down against lease revenues, and future revenues are recognized upon receipt of payment. |
Assets Held for Sale | Assets Held for Sale Columbia Property Trust classifies properties as held for sale according to Accounting Standard Codification 360, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ("ASC 360"). According to ASC 360, properties having separately identifiable operations and cash flows are considered held for sale when all of the following criteria are met: • Management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the property. • The property is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such property. • An active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the property have been initiated. • The property is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value. • Actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. • The sale of the property is probable (i.e., typically subject to a binding sale contract with a non-refundable deposit), and transfer of the property is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year. |
Evaluating the Recoverability of Real Estate Assets | Evaluating the Recoverability of Real Estate Assets Columbia Property Trust continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the net carrying amounts of its real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities, of both operating properties and properties under development or redevelopment, may not be recoverable. When indicators of potential impairment are present that suggest that the net carrying amounts of real estate assets and related intangible assets and liabilities may not be recoverable, Columbia Property Trust assesses the recoverability of these net assets by determining whether the respective carrying values will be recovered through the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected from the use of the net assets and their eventual disposition. In the event that such expected undiscounted future cash flows do not exceed the carrying values, Columbia Property Trust adjusts the carrying values of the real estate assets and related intangible assets and liabilities to the estimated fair values, pursuant to the property, plant, and equipment accounting standard for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, and recognizes an impairment loss. At such time that a property is required to be classified as held for sale, its net carrying amount is adjusted to the lower of its depreciated book value or its estimated fair value, less costs to sell, and depreciation is no longer recognized. |
Intangible Assets and Liabilities Arising From In-Place Leases Where Columbia Property Trust Is the Lessor | Intangible Assets and Liabilities Arising From In-Place Leases Where Columbia Property Trust Is the LessorUpon the acquisition of real properties, Columbia Property Trust allocates the purchase price of the properties to tangible assets, consisting of land, building, site improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, including the value of in-place leases, based in each case on Columbia Property Trust's estimate of their fair values in accordance with ASC 820 (see "Fair Value Measurements" section above for additional detail). |
Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures/Investments in Real Estate Funds/Noncontrolling Interests | Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures Columbia Property Trust uses the equity method to account for investments that are not wholly owned and: (i) are considered variable interest entities where the Company is not the primary beneficiary, or (ii) in which the Company, along with its co-owners, possesses substantive participation rights, including management selection and termination, and the approval of significant capital and operating decisions. Under the equity method, investments in unconsolidated joint ventures are recorded at cost and adjusted for cash contributions and distributions, and allocations of income or loss. Investments in Real Estate Funds In connection with the Normandy Acquisition described in Note 3, Transactions , Columbia Property Trust acquired general partnership interests and limited partnership interests in three real estate funds: Normandy Real Estate Fund III, LP; Normandy Real Estate Fund IV, LP; and Normandy Opportunity Zone Fund, LP (collectively, the "Real Estate Funds"). The Company owns minimal economic interests in the Real Estate Funds (ranging from 2.0% to 2.5%). Significant decision rights are shared between the general partners and limited partners; and the general partner can be removed with a majority vote from the limited partners. As a result, Columbia Property Trust accounts for its investments in the Real Estate Funds using the equity method. The Real Estate Funds are subject to the rules of the AICPA Investment Company Guide; as a result, GAAP requires the Company to record its investments in the Real Estate Funds at their respective estimated fair market values. The Company determines the Real Estate Funds' estimated net asset values per share using a discounted cash flow model, which is considered a Level 3 valuation technique (see "Fair Value Measurements " section above). As of September 30, 2020, investments in the Real Estate Funds of approximately $4.3 million are included in prepaid expenses and other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. From January 24, 2020 (date of acquisition) through September 30, 2020, Columbia Property Trust recognized an unrealized loss on its investments in Real Estate Funds of approximately $0.6 million, which is recorded as other income (loss) in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Columbia Property Trust has entered into agreements to provide acquisition, disposition, investment management, property management, leasing, and other services to the properties in which the Real Estate Funds own interests. See Note 12, Non-Lease Revenues , for more details. From time to time, Columbia Property Trust may be required to make additional capital contributions to the Real Estate Funds. See Note 7, Commitments and Contingencies , for more details . |
Goodwill | Goodwill Goodwill represents purchase price not specifically assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. On January 24, 2020, Columbia Property Trust recorded goodwill of $63.8 million in connection with the Normandy Acquisition (see Note 3, Transactions for details). Columbia Property Trust assesses the recoverability of goodwill on an annual basis, and on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may be impaired. When indicators of potential impairment exist, Columbia evaluates whether the carrying value of the reporting unit to which the goodwill relates exceeds the reporting unit's estimated fair value. If the reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value, then goodwill would be reduced, and an impairment loss would be recognized, for the amount of this excess (not to exceed total goodwill). Columbia Property Trust has determined that the carrying value of goodwill is recoverable as of September 30, 2020. |
Interest Rate Swap Agreements | Interest Rate Swap AgreementsColumbia Property Trust enters into interest rate swap contracts to mitigate its interest rate risk on the related financial instruments. Columbia Property Trust does not enter into derivative or interest rate swap transactions for speculative purposes and currently does not have any derivatives that are not designated as hedges; however, certain of its derivatives may, at times, not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Columbia Property Trust records the fair value of its interest rate swaps on its consolidated balance sheet either as prepaid expenses and other assets or as accounts payable, accrued expenses, and accrued capital expenditures. Changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps that are designated as cash flow hedges are recorded as other comprehensive income (loss). Changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment are recorded as gain or loss on interest rate swaps. Amounts received or paid under interest rate swap agreements are recorded as interest expense for contracts that qualify for hedge accounting treatment and as gain or loss on interest rate swaps for contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes Columbia Property Trust has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and has operated as such beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 2003. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, as defined by the Code, to its stockholders. To the extent that Columbia Property Trust satisfies the distribution requirement but distributes less than 100% of its REIT taxable income, the Company would be subject to federal and state corporate income tax on the undistributed income. Generally, the Company does not incur federal income taxes, other than as described in the following paragraph, because its stockholder distributions typically exceed its taxable income due to noncash expenses such as depreciation. Columbia Property Trust is, however, subject to certain state and local taxes related to the operations of properties in certain locations, which have been provided for in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Columbia Property Trust TRS, LLC; Columbia KCP TRS, LLC; Columbia Development TRS 13, LLC; and Columbia Development TRS 87, LLC (collectively, the "TRS Entities") are subsidiaries of the Company and are organized as Delaware limited liability companies. The TRS Entities, among other things, provide services related to asset and property management, construction and development, and other tenant services that Columbia Property Trust, as a REIT, cannot otherwise provide. The Company has elected to treat the TRS Entities as taxable REIT subsidiaries. Columbia Property Trust may perform certain additional, noncustomary services for tenants of its buildings through the TRS Entities; however, earnings of a TRS entity are subject to federal and state income taxes. In addition, for the Company to continue to qualify as a REIT, Columbia Property Trust must limit its investments in taxable REIT subsidiaries to 20% of the value of the total assets. The TRS Entities' deferred tax assets and liabilities represent temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities based on the enacted rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. If applicable, the Company records interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. |
Reclassification | Reclassification Certain prior-period amounts on the consolidated statement of operations have been reclassified to conform with the current-period's presentation: property operating costs include amounts previously reported as asset and property management fees; and management fee expense includes amounts previously reported as general and administrative – joint venture. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements In April 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance on accounting for lease amendments resulting from the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, Topic 842 and Topic 840: Accounting for Lease Concessions Related to the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic. The guidance provides a policy election that allows issuers to account for rent concessions as a continuation of the existing lease, instead of as a lease modification (the "COVID-19 Concession Option") as required under existing GAAP. To be eligible for the COVID-19 Concession Option, aggregate future rent payments cannot be materially more under the amended lease terms than under the original lease terms. Issuers must apply the accounting method selected consistently to leases with similar characteristics and circumstances. • Rent abatements : Under the COVID-19 Concession Option, revenues are reduced for rent abatements (past and future) in the period of execution, and future straight-line rental income is unchanged. Conversely, without adopting the COVID-19 Concession Option, revenues are reduced for past rents forgiven by writing down the related receivables in the period of execution, and future straight-line income is reduced for future rent reductions. Columbia Property Trust has elected to account for rent abatements under existing GAAP. Through September 30, 2020, Columbia Property Trust has abated $0.5 million in rental billings, including the Company's proportionate share of rents earned through unconsolidated joint ventures. • Rent deferrals : Under the COVID-19 Concession Option, rent deferrals may be accounted for as either (a) payment plans, where rents are billed and revenues are recorded on the same schedule; or as (b) variable lease payments, where revenues are not recognized until the amounts become payable in the future based on the amended terms. Conversely, without adopting the COVID-19 Concession option, revenues are recorded on the same schedule, however, deferred rents are recharacterized as straight-line rent receivables until payable. Columbia Property Trust has elected to account for rent deferrals as a lease modification under existing GAAP. Through September 30, 2020, Columbia Property Trust has deferred payments of $2.7 million, including the Company's proportionate share of rents earned through unconsolidated joint ventures. Accounting Standard Update 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform ("ASC 2020-04"), which was issued on and effective as of March 12, 2020, addresses the accounting and disclosure impacts of reference rate reform and the anticipated discontinuance of LIBOR. ASU 2020-04 provides optional guidance that may be elected over time, and includes practical expedients for activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives, and other contracts. Columbia Property Trust has matched LIBOR-based debt with LIBOR-based interest rate swaps, and has elected to apply the ASU 2020-04's practical expedients related to (i) probability and (ii) the assessment of the effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows, which assume that the debt instrument will use the same index rate as its corresponding interest rate swap, once a new reference rate is established to replace LIBOR. Application of these expedients preserves the effectiveness of the Company's interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges in the event that its debt and interest rate swaps are not amended concurrently to reflect a new reference rate. Columbia Property Trust continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as additional reference rate changes occur. ASU 2020-04 did not have a material impact on Columbia Property Trust's consolidated financial statements or disclosures. Accounting Standard Update 2018-13 , Fair Value Measurement: Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement ("ASU 2018-13"), which became effective for Columbia Property Trust on January 1, 2020, is intended to improve the effectiveness of disclosures required by entities regarding recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements by removing, modifying, or adding certain disclosures. ASU 2018-13 did not have a material impact on Columbia Property Trust's consolidated financial statements or disclosures. Recent Disclosure Pronouncement The SEC's Final Rule Release No. 33-10762, Financial Disclosures About Guarantors and Issuers of Guaranteed Securities and Affiliates Whose Securities Collateralize a Registrant's Securities (the "SEC Release No. 33-10762") was issued on March 2, 2020 and adopted by Columbia Property Trust in the first quarter of 2020. With respect to the disclosure requirements for subsidiary issuers and guarantors of registered debt securities, SEC Release No. 33-10762 amends SEC Rule 3-10 by, among other things: • Simplifying the criteria that must be met for a parent registrant to qualify for an exemption allowing it to provide summarized financial information in lieu of standalone audited financial statements of the subsidiary issuer, including replacing the requirement that a subsidiary issuer be wholly owned by the parent guarantor with a requirement that the subsidiary issuer be consolidated in the parent guarantor's financial statements. • Upon qualifying for the exemption above, replacing the previous requirement to include condensed consolidating financial information in the registrant's (parent guarantor's) financial statements with a requirement to include certain summarized financial information (Alternative Disclosures) in either the registrant's financial statement footnotes or in its Management’s Discussion and Analysis. The Company's Bonds Payable (see Note 6, Bonds Payable ) were issued by Columbia OP, and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Columbia Property Trust and by no other party. Columbia Property Trust owns 97.2% of Columbia OP, and includes the accounts of Columbia OP in its consolidated financial statements. Therefore, upon adopting SEC Release No. 33-10762 in the first quarter of 2020, the Company is providing Alternative Disclosures within Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of this Form 10-Q. |

Such basis differences result from the timing of each partner's joint venture interest acquisition; and formation costs incurred by Columbia Property Trust. Basis differences are amortized to income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures over the lives of the underlying assets or liabilities. (2) Columbia Property Trust capitalized interest on its investment in the 799 Broadway Joint Venture and the Terminal Warehouse Joint Venture: $0.5 million and $0.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively; and $1.3 million and $0.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

(3) Reflects $135.6 million outstanding, net of $2.0 million of net unamortized deferred financing costs, on the 799 Broadway construction loan. The 799 Broadway construction loan is being used to finance a portion of the 799 Broadway development project, has total capacity of $187.0 million, and bears interest at LIBOR plus a spread of 425 basis points, with a LIBOR floor of 1.00% and capped of 4.00% (the "Construction Loan"). A portion of the monthly interest payments accrue into the balance of the loan. The Construction Loan matures on October 9, 2021, with two one-year extension options. For a discussion of Columbia Property Trust's equity guaranty related to the Construction Loan, see Note 7, Commitments and Contingencies . (4) Reflects $643.1 million outstanding, net of $0.7 million of net unamortized deferred financing costs, on the Terminal Warehouse acquisition loan.
