Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
General Basis of Presentation	General Basis of Presentation The interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the General Partner and the Partnership. The 2018 year-end consolidated balance sheet data included in this Report was derived from the audited financial statements in the combined Annual Report on Form 10-K of the General Partner and the Partnership for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the " 2018 Annual Report"), but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Our actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included herein and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2018 Annual Report. The General Partner was formed in 1985, and we believe that it qualifies as a REIT under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The Partnership was formed on October 4, 1993, when the General Partner contributed all of its properties and related assets and liabilities, together with the net proceeds from an offering of additional shares of its common stock, to the Partnership. Simultaneously, the Partnership completed the acquisition of Duke Associates, a full-service commercial real estate firm operating in the Midwest whose operations began in 1972. The General Partner is the sole general partner of the Partnership, owning approximately 99.1% of the Common Units at June 30, 2019 . The remaining 0.9% of the Common Units are owned by limited partners. As the sole general partner of the Partnership, the General Partner has full, exclusive and complete responsibility and discretion in the day-to-day management and control of the Partnership. The General Partner and the Partnership are operated as one enterprise. The management of the General Partner consists of the same members as the management of the Partnership. As the sole general partner with control of the Partnership, the General Partner consolidates the Partnership for financial reporting purposes, and the General Partner does not have any significant assets other than its investment in the Partnership. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of the General Partner and the Partnership are substantially the same. Limited partners have the right to redeem their Limited Partner Units, subject to certain restrictions. Pursuant to the Fifth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, as amended (the "Partnership Agreement"), the General Partner is obligated to redeem the Limited Partner Units in shares of its common stock, unless it determines in its reasonable discretion that the issuance of shares of its common stock could cause it to fail to qualify as a REIT. Each Limited Partner Unit shall be redeemed for one share of the General Partner's common stock, or, in the event that the issuance of shares could cause the General Partner to fail to qualify as a REIT, cash equal to the fair market value of one share of the General Partner's common stock at the time of redemption, in each case, subject to certain adjustments described in the Partnership Agreement. The Limited Partner Units are not required, per the terms of the Partnership Agreement, to be redeemed in registered shares of the General Partner. As of June 30, 2019

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Leases On January 1, 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 842, Leases ("ASC 842"), utilizing the available election to adopt on a prospective basis. ASC 842 has superseded all previous GAAP guidance for accounting for leases. As part of adoption, we elected the package of practical expedients available for implementation, which included: (i) relief from re-assessing whether an expired or existing contract meets the definition of a lease, (ii) relief from re-assessing the classification of expired or existing leases at the adoption date and (iii) allowing previously capitalized initial direct leasing costs to continue to be amortized. Due in large part to electing these practical expedients, the adoption of ASC 842 did not result in recording a cumulative adjustment to the opening balance of distributions in excess of net income. Lessor Accounting Our primary business is the development, acquisition, and operation of industrial real estate properties that are held for investment and leased to tenants. Due to electing the package of practical expedients that allow for relief from re-assessing the classification of existing leases at the adoption date, as well as based on the characteristics of our underlying assets and leases, all of our leases are classified as operating leases. We manage residual risk through investing in properties that we believe will appreciate in value over time. We also perform a credit analysis for tenants prior to leases being executed, and on an ongoing basis, to ensure collectability is probable prior to recognizing lease revenues on an accrual basis. For lessors, the accounting under ASC 842 remains largely unchanged with the notable exception that ASC 842 requires that lessors expense certain initial direct costs, which were capitalizable under prior leasing standards, as incurred. Under the new standard, only the incremental costs of signing a lease are capitalizable. As the result of this change, we recognized $3.4 million and $5.6 million of expense for internal costs related to successful leases for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2019 , presented separately in the line item "Non-Incremental Costs Related to Successful Leases" on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income, which previously would have been capitalized. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we capitalized $2.6 million and $7.2 million of internal lease related costs which would have been expensed had ASC 842 been effective. ASC 842 also provides lessors an additional practical expedient to not separate rental recovery revenue related to lease-related services from the associated rental revenue related to the lease when certain criteria are met. The lease-related services provided to our tenants include property management, common area maintenance ("CAM") and utilities. We assessed the applicable criteria, concluding that the timing and straight-line pattern of transfer to the lessees for rental recovery revenue from our lease-related services and revenue from the underlying leases are the same and that lease classification does not change, and elected to apply this additional practical expedient. Our leases generally include scheduled rent increases, but do not include variable payments based on indexes. Our rental revenue is primarily based on fixed, non-cancelable leases. Our variable rental revenue primarily consists of amounts recovered from lessees for property tax, insurance and CAM. All revenues related to lease and lease-related services are included in, and comprise substantially all of, the caption "Rental and Related Revenue" on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. The components of Rental and Related Revenue are as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 Rental revenue - fixed payments $ 161,483 $ 318,157 Rental revenue - variable payments (1) 51,624 104,915 Rental and related revenue $ 213,107 $ 423,072 (1) Primarily includes tenant recoveries for real estate taxes, insurance and CAM. The future minimum rents due to us under non-cancelable operating leases are as follows (in thousands): Year June 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 2019 $ 312,844 $ 600,385 2020 624,674 586,609 2021 587,383 529,961 2022 521,164 463,462 2023 450,616 397,150 Thereafter 1,999,848 1,582,598 $ 4,496,529 $ 4,160,165 Lessee Accounting ASC 842 requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase of the leased asset by the lessee. This classification determines whether the lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use ("ROU") asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of classification. As of June 30, 2019 , our lease arrangements primarily consisted of office and ground leases. Adoption of the practical expedients resulted in the continued classification of our leases as operating leases. Expense recognized on these leases for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was not material. For these arrangements, we recognized a ROU asset and a corresponding lease liability at the January 1, 2019 adoption date of ASC 842, representing the discounted value of future lease payments required under our lease arrangements. A $37.8 million ROU asset, net of pre-existing lease related accruals, was included in Other Escrow Deposits and Other Assets, and a corresponding lease liability of $43.7 million was included in Other Liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2019 . In determining these amounts we elected an available practical expedient that allows us, as a lessee, to not separate lease and non-lease components. The following table summarizes the future operating lease payments (in thousands) to be made under our non-cancellable lease arrangements: Year June 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 2019 $ 2,990 $ 6,487 2020 7,673 7,594 2021 3,069 2,987 2022 2,339 2,255 2023 2,034 1,949 Thereafter 85,559 85,523 Total undiscounted operating lease payments $ 103,664 $ 106,795 Less: imputed interest (59,969 ) Present value of operating lease payments $ 43,695 The weighted average remaining lease term for our lease arrangements, on a combined basis as of June 30, 2019 , was 33.4 years. The weighted average discount rate for our lease arrangements as of June 30, 2019 was 4.61% . As the discount rates implied in our lease arrangements are not readily determinable, we utilized our current credit ratings and credit yields observed from market traded securities with similar credit ratings to form a reasonable basis to establish secured borrowing rates when determining the present value of future lease payments.

Restricted Cash [Abstract]
Cash and Cash Equivalents Disclosure [Text Block]	Restricted Cash In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash ("ASU 2016-18"). ASU 2016-18 requires entities to show the changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. As a result, entities will no longer present transfers between cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2018, on a retrospective basis, and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the Consolidated Balance Sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (in thousands): June 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 Cash and cash equivalents $ 8,664 $ 17,901 Restricted cash included in other escrow deposits and other assets 8,363 7,616 Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash shown in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows $ 17,027 $ 25,517

Variable Interest Entities

Variable Interest Entities	6 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2019
Disclosure Text Block [Abstract]
Consolidation Policy for VIEs	Variable Interest Entities Partnership Due to the fact that the Limited Partners do not have kick out rights, or substantive participating rights, the Partnership is a variable interest entity ("VIE"). Because the General Partner holds majority ownership and exercises control over every aspect of the Partnership's operations, the General Partner has been determined as the primary beneficiary and, therefore, consolidates the Partnership. The assets and liabilities of the General Partner and the Partnership are substantially the same, as the General Partner does not have any significant assets other than its investment in the Partnership. All of the Company's debt is an obligation of the Partnership. Joint Ventures We have equity interests in unconsolidated joint ventures that primarily own and operate rental properties or hold land for development. We consolidate those joint ventures that are considered to be VIEs where we are the primary beneficiary. We analyze our investments in joint ventures to determine if the joint venture is considered a VIE and would require consolidation. We (i) evaluate the sufficiency of the total equity investment at risk, (ii) review the voting rights and decision-making authority of the equity investment holders as a group and whether there are limited partners (or similar owning entities) that lack substantive participating or kick out rights and (iii) establish whether or not activities within the venture are on behalf of an investor with disproportionately few voting rights in making this VIE determination. To the extent that we own interests in a VIE and we (i) are the sole entity that has the power to direct the activities of the VIE and (ii) have the obligation or rights to absorb the VIE's losses or receive its benefits, then we would be determined to be the primary beneficiary and would consolidate the VIE. To the extent we own interests in a VIE, then at each reporting period, we re-assess our conclusions as to which, if any, party within the VIE is considered the primary beneficiary. Consolidated joint ventures that are VIEs are not significant in any period presented in these consolidated financial statements. To the extent that our joint ventures do not qualify as VIEs, they are consolidated if we control them through majority ownership interests or if we are the managing entity (general partner or managing member) and the other partner does not have substantive participating rights. Control is further demonstrated by our ability to unilaterally make significant operating decisions, refinance debt and sell the assets of the joint venture without the consent of the non-managing entity and the inability of the non-managing entity to remove us from our role as the managing entity. Consolidated joint ventures that are not VIEs are not significant in any period presented in these consolidated financial statements. There were no unconsolidated joint ventures, in which we have any recognized assets or liabilities or have retained any economic exposure to loss at June 30, 2019 , that met the criteria to be considered VIEs. Our maximum loss exposure for guarantees of unconsolidated joint venture indebtedness, none of which relate to VIEs, totaled $150.8 million at June 30, 2019 .

Acquisitions and Dispositions

Real Estate [Abstract]
Acquisitions and Dispositions	Acquisitions and Dispositions Acquisitions and dispositions for the periods presented were completed in accordance with our strategy to reposition our investment concentration among the markets in which we operate and to increase our overall investments in quality industrial projects. Transaction costs related to asset acquisitions are capitalized and transaction costs related to business combinations and dispositions are expensed. Acquisitions We paid cash of $108.2 million and $208.9 million for asset acquisitions during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. We acquired three properties during the six months ended June 30, 2019 . We determined that these three properties did not meet the definition of a business and, accordingly, we accounted for them as asset acquisitions as opposed to business combinations. The following table summarizes amounts recognized for each major class of assets (in thousands) for these acquisitions during the six months ended June 30, 2019 : Real estate assets $ 104,880 Lease related intangible assets 5,331 Fair value of acquired net assets $ 110,211 The leases in the acquired properties had a weighted average remaining life at acquisition of approximately 5.2 years. Fair Value Measurements We determine the fair value of the individual components of real estate asset acquisitions primarily through calculating the "as-if vacant" value of a building, using an income approach, which relies significantly upon internally determined assumptions. We have determined that these estimates primarily rely upon level 3 inputs, which are unobservable inputs based on our own assumptions. The most significant assumptions used in calculating the "as-if vacant" value for acquisition activity during the six months ended June 30, 2019 are as follows: Low High Exit capitalization rate 4.23% 5.26% Net rental rate per square foot $5.90 $15.60 Capitalized acquisition costs were insignificant and the fair value of the three properties acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2019 was substantially the same as the cost of acquisition. Dispositions Dispositions of buildings and undeveloped land generated net cash proceeds of $97.5 million and $433.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2019 , we collected $130.0 million

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Indebtedness	Indebtedness All debt is issued directly or indirectly by the Partnership. The General Partner does not have any indebtedness, but does guarantee some of the unsecured debt of the Partnership. The following table summarizes the book value and changes in the fair value of our debt (in thousands): Book Value at 12/31/2018 Book Value at 6/30/2019 Fair Value at 12/31/2018 Issuances and Assumptions Payments/Payoffs Adjustments to Fair Value Fair Value at 6/30/2019 Fixed rate secured debt $ 77,601 $ 34,042 $ 80,238 $ — $ (43,502 ) $ (268 ) $ 36,468 Variable rate secured debt 2,200 2,200 2,200 — — — 2,200 Unsecured debt 2,575,000 2,575,000 2,549,963 — — 133,712 2,683,675 Unsecured line of credit 30,000 252,000 30,000 222,000 — — 252,000 Total $ 2,684,801 $ 2,863,242 $ 2,662,401 $ 222,000 $ (43,502 ) $ 133,444 $ 2,974,343 Less: Deferred financing costs 26,300 24,267 Total indebtedness as reported on the consolidated balance sheets $ 2,658,501 $ 2,838,975 Secured Debt Because our fixed rate secured debt is not actively traded in any marketplace, we utilized a discounted cash flow methodology to determine its fair value. Accordingly, we calculated fair value by applying an estimate of the current market rate to discount the debt's remaining contractual cash flows. Our estimate of a current market rate, which is the most significant input in the discounted cash flow calculation, is intended to replicate debt of similar maturity and loan-to-value relationship. The estimated rates ranged from 3.40% to 3.70% , depending on the attributes of the specific loans. The current market rates we utilized were internally estimated; therefore, we have concluded that our determination of fair value for our fixed rate secured debt was primarily based upon level 3 inputs. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 , we repaid three fixed rate secured loans, totaling $41.7 million , which had a weighted average stated interest rate of 7.76% . Unsecured Debt At June 30, 2019 , all of our unsecured debt bore interest at fixed rates and primarily consisted of unsecured notes that are publicly traded. We utilized broker estimates in estimating the fair value of our fixed rate unsecured debt. Our unsecured notes are thinly traded and, in certain cases, the broker estimates were not based upon comparable transactions. The broker estimates took into account any recent trades within the same series of our fixed rate unsecured debt, comparisons to recent trades of other series of our fixed rate unsecured debt, trades of fixed rate unsecured debt from companies with profiles similar to ours, as well as overall economic conditions. We reviewed these broker estimates for reasonableness and accuracy, considering whether the estimates were based upon market participant assumptions within the principal and most advantageous market and whether any other observable inputs would be more accurate indicators of fair value than the broker estimates. We concluded that the broker estimates were representative of fair value. We have determined that our estimation of the fair value of our fixed rate unsecured debt was primarily based upon level 3 inputs. The estimated trading values of our fixed rate unsecured debt, depending on the maturity and coupon rates, ranged from 102.00% to 129.00% of face value. The indentures (and related supplemental indentures) governing our outstanding series of unsecured notes also require us to comply with financial ratios and other covenants regarding our operations. We were in compliance with all such financial covenants at June 30, 2019 . Unsecured Line of Credit Our unsecured line of credit at June 30, 2019 is described as follows (in thousands): Description Borrowing Capacity Maturity Date Outstanding Balance at June 30, 2019 Unsecured Line of Credit - Partnership $ 1,200,000 January 30, 2022 $ 252,000 The Partnership's unsecured line of credit has an interest rate on borrowings of LIBOR plus 0.875% (equal to 3.29% for our outstanding borrowings at June 30, 2019 ) and has a maturity date of January 30, 2022 , with options to extend until January 30, 2023. Subject to certain conditions, the terms also include an option to increase the facility by up to an additional $800.0 million , for a total of up to $2.00 billion . This line of credit provides us with an option to obtain borrowings from financial institutions that participate in the line at rates that may be lower than the stated interest rate, subject to certain restrictions. This line of credit contains financial covenants that require us to meet certain financial ratios and defined levels of performance, including those related to fixed charge coverage, unsecured interest expense coverage and debt-to-asset value (with asset value being defined in the Partnership's unsecured line of credit agreement). At June 30, 2019 , we were in compliance with all financial covenants under this line of credit. We utilize a discounted cash flow methodology in order to estimate the fair value of outstanding borrowings on our unsecured line of credit. To the extent that credit spreads have changed since the origination of the line of credit, the net present value of the difference between future contractual interest payments and future interest payments based on our estimate of a current market rate would represent the difference between the book value and the fair value. Our estimate of a current market rate is based upon the rate, considering current market conditions and our specific credit profile, at which we estimate we could obtain similar borrowings. As our credit spreads have not changed appreciably, we believe that the contractual interest rate and the current market rate on the line of credit are the same. The current market rate is internally estimated and therefore is primarily based upon a level 3 input.

Shareholder's Equity [Abstract]
Stockholders' Equity Note Disclosure [Text Block]	Shareholders' Equity of the General Partner and Partners' Capital of the Partnership General Partner The General Partner has an at the market ("ATM") equity program that allows it to issue and sell its common shares through sales agents from time to time. Actual sales under the ATM equity program depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the General Partner, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of the General Partner’s common stock, determinations by the General Partner of the appropriate sources of funding and potential uses of funding available. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 , the General Partner issued 1.1 million common shares pursuant to its ATM equity program, generating gross proceeds of $36.1 million and, after deducting commissions and other costs, net proceeds of $35.7 million . The proceeds from these offerings were contributed to the Partnership and used to fund development activities. Partnership For each common share or preferred share that the General Partner issues, the Partnership issues a corresponding General Partner Unit or Preferred Unit, as applicable, to the General Partner in exchange for the contribution of the proceeds from the stock issuance. Similarly, when the General Partner redeems or repurchases common shares or preferred shares, the Partnership redeems the corresponding General Partner Units or Preferred Units held by the General Partner at the same price.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share	Net Income per Common Share or Common Unit Basic net income per common share or Common Unit is computed by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders or common unitholders, less dividends or distributions on share-based awards expected to vest (referred to as "participating securities" and primarily composed of unvested restricted stock units), by the weighted average number of common shares or Common Units outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing the sum of net income attributable to common shareholders and the noncontrolling interest in earnings allocable to Limited Partner Units (to the extent the Limited Partner Units are dilutive), less dividends or distributions on participating securities that are anti-dilutive, by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and, to the extent they are dilutive, weighted average number of Limited Partner Units outstanding and any potential dilutive securities for the period. Diluted net income per Common Unit is computed by dividing the net income attributable to common unitholders, less dividends or distributions on participating securities that are anti-dilutive, by the sum of the weighted average number of Common Units outstanding and any potential dilutive securities for the period. The following table reconciles the components of basic and diluted net income per common share or Common Unit (in thousands): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 General Partner Net income attributable to common shareholders $ 71,053 $ 193,845 $ 115,604 $ 266,808 Less: dividends on participating securities (388 ) (418 ) (777 ) (855 ) Basic net income attributable to common shareholders $ 70,665 $ 193,427 $ 114,827 $ 265,953 Add back dividends on dilutive participating securities — 418 — 855 Noncontrolling interest in earnings of common unitholders 621 1,824 1,003 2,507 Diluted net income attributable to common shareholders $ 71,286 $ 195,669 $ 115,830 $ 269,315 Weighted average number of common shares outstanding 359,681 357,054 359,412 356,898 Weighted average Limited Partner Units outstanding 3,145 3,393 3,105 3,374 Other potential dilutive shares 100 2,294 98 2,279 Weighted average number of common shares and potential dilutive securities 362,926 362,741 362,615 362,551 Partnership Net income attributable to common unitholders $ 71,674 $ 195,669 $ 116,607 $ 269,315 Less: distributions on participating securities (388 ) (418 ) (777 ) (855 ) Basic net income attributable to common unitholders $ 71,286 $ 195,251 $ 115,830 $ 268,460 Add back distributions on dilutive participating securities — 418 — 855 Diluted net income attributable to common unitholders $ 71,286 $ 195,669 $ 115,830 $ 269,315 Weighted average number of Common Units outstanding 362,826 360,447 362,517 360,272 Other potential dilutive units 100 2,294 98 2,279 Weighted average number of Common Units and potential dilutive securities 362,926 362,741 362,615 362,551 The following table summarizes the data that is excluded from the computation of net income per common share or Common Unit as a result of being anti-dilutive (in thousands): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 General Partner and Partnership Other potential dilutive shares or units: Anti-dilutive outstanding potential shares or units under fixed stock option and other stock-based compensation plans — — — — Anti-dilutive outstanding participating securities 1,960 — 1,960 —

Segment Reporting

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Reporting	Segment Reporting Reportable Segments As of June 30, 2019 , we had two reportable operating segments, the first consisting of the ownership and rental of industrial real estate investments. Our ongoing investments in new real estate investments are determined largely upon anticipated geographic trends in supply and demand for industrial buildings, as well as the real estate needs of our major tenants that operate on a national level. Our strategic initiatives and our allocation of resources have been historically based upon allocation among product types, which was consistent with our designation of reportable segments, and after having sold nearly all of our office and medical office properties we intend to increase our investment in industrial properties and treat them as a single operating and reportable segment. Properties not included in our reportable segments, because they are not industrial properties and do not by themselves meet the quantitative thresholds for separate presentation as a reportable segment, are generally referred to as non-reportable Rental Operations. Our non-reportable Rental Operations primarily include our remaining office properties and medical office property at June 30, 2019 . The operations of our industrial properties, as well as our non-reportable Rental Operations, are collectively referred to as "Rental Operations." Our second reportable segment consists of various real estate services such as property management, asset management, maintenance, leasing, development, general contracting and construction management to third-party property owners and joint ventures, and is collectively referred to as "Service Operations." The Service Operations segment is identified as one single operating segment because the lowest level of financial results reviewed by our chief operating decision maker are the results for the Service Operations segment in total. Further, our reportable segments are managed separately because each segment requires different operating strategies and management expertise . Revenues by Reportable Segment The following table shows the revenues for each of the reportable segments, as well as a reconciliation to consolidated revenues (in thousands): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 Revenues Rental Operations: Industrial $ 211,004 $ 190,629 $ 419,407 $ 379,944 Non-reportable Rental Operations 1,478 1,366 2,930 4,819 Service Operations 23,919 18,465 78,883 59,566 Total segment revenues 236,401 210,460 501,220 444,329 Other revenue 625 98 735 786 Consolidated revenue from continuing operations 237,026 210,558 501,955 445,115 Discontinued operations — 27 — 32 Consolidated revenue $ 237,026 $ 210,585 $ 501,955 $ 445,147 Supplemental Performance Measure Property-level net operating income on a cash basis ("PNOI") is the non-GAAP supplemental performance measure that we use to evaluate the performance of, and to allocate resources among, the real estate investments in the reportable and operating segments that comprise our Rental Operations. PNOI for our Rental Operations segments is comprised of rental revenues from continuing operations less rental expenses and real estate taxes from continuing operations, along with certain other adjusting items (collectively referred to as "Rental Operations revenues and expenses excluded from PNOI," as shown in the following table). Additionally, we do not allocate interest expense, depreciation expense and certain other non-property specific revenues and expenses (collectively referred to as "Non-Segment Items," as shown in the following table) to our individual operating segments. We evaluate the performance of our Service Operations reportable segment using net income or loss, as allocated to that segment ("Earnings from Service Operations"). The most comparable GAAP measure to PNOI is income from continuing operations before income taxes. PNOI excludes expenses that materially impact our overall results of operations and, therefore, should not be considered as a substitute for income from continuing operations before income taxes or any other measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Furthermore, PNOI may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The following table shows a reconciliation of our segment-level measures of profitability to consolidated income from continuing operations before income taxes (in thousands and excluding discontinued operations): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 PNOI Industrial $ 154,934 $ 136,316 $ 303,840 $ 264,463 Non-reportable Rental Operations 862 1,361 1,740 2,881 PNOI, excluding all sold properties 155,796 137,677 305,580 267,344 PNOI from sold properties included in continuing operations 387 3,117 355 9,848 PNOI, continuing operations $ 156,183 $ 140,794 $ 305,935 $ 277,192 Earnings from Service Operations 730 3,212 3,108 3,904 Rental Operations revenues and expenses excluded from PNOI: Straight-line rental income and expense, net 4,762 4,642 10,466 10,931 Revenues related to lease buyouts — — 19 23 Amortization of lease concessions and above and below market rents 1,542 461 2,804 1,006 Intercompany rents and other adjusting items 60 (20 ) 103 (6 ) Non-Segment Items: Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures 4,143 1,682 8,858 9,969 Interest expense (23,510 ) (20,675 ) (45,642 ) (40,675 ) Depreciation and amortization expense (83,004 ) (75,832 ) (158,996 ) (153,361 ) Gain on sale of properties 30,592 149,962 30,429 194,848 Interest and other income, net 2,534 4,727 5,292 9,190 General and administrative expenses (13,420 ) (13,459 ) (35,403 ) (34,482 ) Gain on land sales 1,950 357 2,700 3,306 Other operating expenses (1,518 ) (1,529 ) (3,641 ) (2,798 ) Loss on extinguishment of debt — (151 ) (13 ) (151 ) Gain on involuntary conversion — — 2,259 — Non-incremental costs related to successful leases (3,447 ) — (5,603 ) — Other non-segment revenues and expenses, net 588 (1,357 ) 663 (2,229 ) Income from continuing operations before income taxes $ 78,185 $ 192,814 $ 123,338 $ 276,667
