Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Nature Of Business | NATURE OF BUSINESS Washington Real Estate Investment Trust (“Washington REIT”), a Maryland real estate investment trust, is a self-administered equity real estate investment trust, successor to a trust organized in 1960. Our business consists of the ownership and operation of income-producing real estate properties in the greater Washington Metro region. We own a diversified portfolio of office buildings, multifamily buildings and retail centers. Federal Income Taxes We believe that we qualify as a REIT under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and intend to continue to qualify as such. We have considered the provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "TCJA"), which was signed into law on December 22, 2017 and which generally takes effect for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2018, and do not expect the TCJA to have a material impact on our ability to continue to qualify as a REIT. To maintain our status as a REIT, we are, among other things, required to distribute 90% of our REIT taxable income (which is, generally, our ordinary taxable income, with certain modifications), excluding any net capital gains and any deductions for dividends paid to our shareholders on an annual basis. When selling a property, we generally have the option of (a) reinvesting the sales proceeds of property sold, in a way that allows us to defer recognition of some or all taxable gain realized on the sale, (b) distributing gains to the shareholders with no tax to us or (c) treating net long-term capital gains as having been distributed to our shareholders, paying the tax on the gain deemed distributed and allocating the tax paid as a credit to our shareholders. During the three years ended December 31, 2017 , we sold our interests in the following properties (in thousands): Disposition Date Property Type Gain on Sale October 23, 2017 Walker House Apartments Multifamily $ 23,838 Total 2017 $ 23,838 May 26, 2016 Dulles Station II (1) Office $ 527 June 27, 2016 Maryland Office Portfolio Transaction I (2) Office 23,585 September 22, 2016 Maryland Office Portfolio Transaction II (3) Office 77,592 Total 2016 $ 101,704 March 20, 2015 Country Club Towers Multifamily $ 30,277 September 9, 2015 1225 First Street (4) Multifamily — October 21, 2015 Munson Hill Towers Multifamily 51,395 December 14, 2015 Montgomery Village Center Retail 7,981 Total 2015 $ 89,653 (1) Land held for future development and an interest in a parking garage. (2) Maryland Office Portfolio Transaction I consists of 6110 Executive Boulevard, 600 Jefferson Plaza, Wayne Plaza and West Gude Drive. (3) Maryland Office Portfolio Transaction II consists of 51 Monroe Street and One Central Plaza. (4) Interest in land held for future development. The taxable gains for Walker House Apartments, Dulles Station II and the properties included in Maryland Office Portfolio Transaction I were distributed to shareholders through the quarterly dividends. The properties included in Maryland Office Portfolio Transaction II were identified for a reverse deferred exchange under Section 1031 of the Code. We acquired the replacement property, Riverside Apartments, during the second quarter of 2016 (see note 3, under "Acquisition"). We reinvested a portion of the Country Club Towers, Munson Hill Towers and Montgomery Village Center sales proceeds in replacement properties through deferred tax exchanges. Generally, and subject to our ongoing qualification as a REIT, no provisions for income taxes are necessary except for taxes on undistributed taxable income and taxes on the income generated by our taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”). Our TRSs are subject to corporate federal and state income tax on their taxable income at regular statutory rates, or as calculated under the alternative minimum tax, as appropriate. During the second quarter of 2016, we recognized an income tax benefit of $0.7 million from a reduction of the valuation allowance for a deferred tax asset at one of our taxable REIT subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2017 , a deferred tax asset of our TRSs of $1.4 million was fully reserved. As of December 31, 2016 , our TRSs had a deferred tax asset of $0.5 million , net of a valuation allowance of $2.9 million . As of December 31, 2017 and 2016 , our TRSs had deferred tax liabilities of $0.0 million and $0.4 million , respectively. Additionally, in connection with the acquisition of Watergate 600 (see note 3), we recorded a deferred state and local tax liability of approximately $0.6 million . These deferred tax liabilities are primarily related to temporary differences in the timing of the recognition of revenue, amortization and depreciation. The following is a breakdown of the taxable percentage of our dividends for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 (unaudited): 2017 2016 2015 Ordinary income 76 % 66 % 78 % Return of capital — % 33 % 22 % Qualified dividends 2 % — % — % Unrecaptured Section 1250 gain 8 % 1 % — % Capital gain 14 % — % — % |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of Washington REIT and our subsidiaries and entities in which Washington REIT has a controlling financial interest, including where Washington REIT has been determined to be a primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). See note 3 for additional information on the properties for which there is a noncontrolling interest. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. We have prepared the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Use of Estimates in the Financial Statements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Pronouncements Adopted In November 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Restricted Cash , which requires that restricted cash and cash equivalents be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the consolidated statements of cash flows. The new standard is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and for interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. We adopted ASU 2016-18 as of December 31, 2017. The impact of the implementation was as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2017 2016 2015 Net cash provided by operating activities (prior to adoption of ASU 2016-18) $ 130,715 $ 116,931 $ 109,426 Impact of including restricted cash with cash and cash equivalents (89 ) (2,206 ) (108 ) Net cash provided by operating activities (after adoption of ASU 2016-18) $ 130,626 $ 114,725 $ 109,318 Net cash used in investing activities (prior to adoption of ASU 2016-18) $ (192,902 ) $ (58,632 ) $ (93,018 ) Impact of including restricted cash with cash and cash equivalents (3,452 ) (4,860 ) 3,192 Net cash used in investing activities (after adoption of ASU 2016-18) $ (196,354 ) $ (63,492 ) $ (89,826 ) Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities . The purpose of this updated guidance is to better align a company’s financial reporting for hedging activities with the economic objectives of those activities. The transition guidance provides companies with the option of early adopting the new standard using a modified retrospective transition method in any interim period after issuance of the update, or alternatively requires adoption for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. We adopted the new standard as of January 1, 2018 and adoption does not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Scope of Modification Accounting, which provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. The new standard is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and for interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the new standard as of January 1, 2018 and adoption does not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments , which provides specific guidance on how cash receipts and payments should be presented and classified in the statement of cash flows for eight specific issues. The new standard is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and for interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the new standard as of January 1, 2018 and adoption does not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”), which creates a single source of revenue guidance. The new standard provides accounting guidance for all revenue arising from contracts with customers and affects all entities that enter into contracts to provide goods or services to their customers (unless the contracts are in the scope of other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requirements, such as the leasing literature). The guidance also provides a model for the measurement and recognition of gains and losses on the sale of certain nonfinancial assets, such as property and equipment, including real estate. The new standard is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and for interim periods therein. We adopted the new standard for the fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2018. We evaluated the requirements for recognition of revenue from contracts with customers and measuring gains and losses on the sale of properties in accordance with ASU 2014-09 and concluded that adoption of the new standard will not impact the amount or timing of our revenue recognition. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”) , which amends existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including by requiring lessees to recognize most leases on the balance sheet and making certain changes to lessor accounting. The new standard is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and for interim periods therein with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, for leases in which we are the lessor, the lease contract will be separated into lease and non-lease components in accordance with the provisions outlined within ASU 2014-09. The lease component of the contract will be recognized on a straight-line basis in accordance with ASU 2016-02, while the non-lease component will be recognized under the provisions of ASU 2014-09. For lease contracts with a duration of more than one year in which we are the lessee, the present value of future lease payments will be recognized on our balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability. Also, only direct leasing costs may be capitalized under the new standard, while current accounting standards allow for the capitalization of indirect leasing costs. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-02 may have on Washington REIT’s consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , which requires financial assets measured at an amortized cost basis, including trade receivables, to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The new standard is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods therein with adoption one year earlier permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the new standard may have on Washington REIT’s consolidated financial statements. Revenue Recognition We lease multifamily properties under operating leases with terms of generally one year or less. We lease commercial properties (our office and retail segments) under operating leases with an average term of seven years. Substantially all commercial leases contain fixed escalations or, in some instances, changes based on the Consumer Price Index, which occur at specified times during the term of the lease. We recognize rental income and rental abatements from our multifamily and commercial leases when earned on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Recognition of rental income commences when control of the leased space has been given to the tenant. We recognize sales of real estate at closing only when sufficient down payments have been obtained, possession and other attributes of ownership have been transferred to the buyer and we have no significant continuing involvement. We recognize cost reimbursement income from pass-through expenses on an accrual basis over the periods in which the expenses were incurred. Pass-through expenses are comprised of real estate taxes, operating expenses and common area maintenance costs which are reimbursed by tenants in accordance with specific allowable costs per tenant lease agreements. Parking revenues are derived from leases, monthly parking agreements and transient parking. We recognize parking revenues from leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term and other parking revenues as earned. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Accounts receivable primarily represents amounts accrued and unpaid from tenants in accordance with the terms of the respective leases, subject to our revenue recognition policy. We review receivables monthly and establish reserves when, in the opinion of management, collection of the receivable is doubtful. We establish reserves for tenants whose rent payment histories or financial conditions cast doubt upon the tenants’ abilities to perform under their lease obligations. When we determine the collection of a receivable to be doubtful in the same quarter that we established the receivable, we recognize the allowance for that receivable as an offset to real estate revenues. When we determine a receivable that was initially established in a prior quarter to be doubtful, we recognize the allowance as an operating expense in Real estate expenses in the consolidated statements of income. In addition to rents due currently, accounts receivable include amounts representing minimal rental income accrued on a straight-line basis to be paid by tenants over the remaining term of their respective leases. Our accounts receivable balances include $0.4 million and $2.4 million of notes receivable as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. The decrease is due to the repayment during the fourth quarter of 2017 of a note receivable acquired in 2008 with the purchase of 2445 M Street. Debt Issuance Costs We amortize external debt issuance costs using the effective interest rate method or the straight-line method which approximates the effective interest rate method, over the estimated life of the related debt. We record debt issuance costs related to notes and mortgage notes, net of amortization, on our consolidated balance sheets as an offset to their related debt. We record debt issuance costs related to revolving lines of credit on our consolidated balance sheets with Prepaid expenses and other assets, regardless of whether a balance on the line of credit is outstanding. We record the amortization of all debt issuance costs as interest expense. Deferred Leasing Costs We capitalize and amortize costs associated with the successful negotiation of leases, both external commissions and internal direct costs, on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. We record the amortization of deferred leasing costs in Depreciation and amortization on the consolidated statements of income. If an applicable lease terminates prior to the expiration of its initial lease term, we write off the carrying amount of the costs to amortization expense. We capitalize and amortize against revenue leasing incentives associated with the successful negotiation of leases on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. We record the amortization of deferred leasing incentives as a reduction of revenue. If an applicable lease terminates prior to the expiration of its initial lease term, we write off the carrying amount of the costs as a reduction of revenue. Real Estate and Depreciation We depreciate buildings on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives ranging from 28 to 50 years. We capitalize all capital improvements associated with replacements, improvements or major repairs to real property that extend its useful life and depreciate them using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 30 years. We also capitalize costs incurred in connection with our development projects, including capitalizing interest incurred on borrowing obligations and other internal costs during periods in which qualifying expenditures have been made and activities necessary to get the development projects ready for their intended use are in progress. Capitalization of these costs begin when the activities and related expenditures commence and cease when the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use, at which time the project is placed in service and depreciation commences. In addition, we capitalize tenant leasehold improvements when certain criteria are met, including when we supervise construction and will own the improvements. We depreciate all tenant improvements over the shorter of the useful life of the improvements or the term of the related tenant lease. Real estate depreciation expense from continuing operations was $90.1 million , $84.1 million , $80.7 million during the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , respectively. We charge maintenance and repair costs that do not extend an asset’s useful life to expense as incurred. Interest expense and interest capitalized to real estate assets related to development and major renovation activities for the three years ended December 31, 2017 were as follows (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2017 2016 2015 Total interest incurred $ 48,498 $ 53,794 $ 60,204 Capitalized interest (964 ) (668 ) (658 ) Interest expense, net of capitalized interest $ 47,534 $ 53,126 $ 59,546 We recognize impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations, development assets or land held for future development, if indicators of impairment are present and the net undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount and estimated undiscounted cash flows associated with future development expenditures. If such carrying amount is in excess of the estimated undiscounted cash flows from the operation and disposal of the property, we would recognize an impairment loss equivalent to an amount required to adjust the carrying amount to its estimated fair value, calculated in accordance with current GAAP fair value provisions. Assets held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell. Acquisitions The properties we acquire typically are not businesses as defined by ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805) - Clarifying the Definition of a Business . Per this definition, a set of transferred assets and activities is not a business when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. We therefore account for such acquisitions as asset acquisitions. Acquisition costs are capitalized and identifiable assets (including physical assets and in-place leases), liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interests are measured by allocating the cost of the acquisition on a relative fair value basis. Acquisitions executed prior to our adoption of ASU 2017-01 as of January 1, 2017 were accounted for as business combinations. We determine the fair values of acquired buildings on an “as-if-vacant” basis considering a variety of factors, including the replacement cost of the property, estimated rental and absorption rates, estimated future cash flows and valuation assumptions consistent with current market conditions. We determine the fair value of land acquired based on comparisons to similar properties that have been recently marketed for sale or sold. The fair value of in-place leases consists of the following components – (a) the estimated cost to us to replace the leases, including foregone rents during the period of finding a new tenant and foregone recovery of tenant pass-throughs (referred to as “absorption cost”); (b) the estimated cost of tenant improvements, and other direct costs associated with obtaining a new tenant (referred to as “tenant origination cost”); (c) estimated leasing commissions associated with obtaining a new tenant (referred to as “leasing commissions”); (d) the above/at/below market cash flow of the leases, determined by comparing the projected cash flows of the leases in place, including consideration of renewal options, to projected cash flows of comparable market-rate leases (referred to as “net lease intangible”); and (e) the value, if any, of customer relationships, determined based on our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and our overall relationship with the tenant (referred to as “customer relationship value”). We have attributed no value to customer relationships as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 . We discount the amounts used to calculate net lease intangibles using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired. We classify tenant origination costs as income producing property on our consolidated balance sheets and amortize the tenant origination costs as depreciation expense on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the underlying leases. We classify leasing commissions and absorption costs as other assets and amortize leasing commissions and absorption costs as amortization expense on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the underlying leases. We classify net lease intangible assets as other assets and amortize them on a straight-line basis as a decrease to real estate rental revenue over the remaining term of the underlying leases. We classify net lease intangible liabilities as other liabilities and amortize them on a straight-line basis as an increase to real estate rental revenue over the remaining term of the underlying leases. If any of the fair value of below market lease intangibles includes fair value associated with a renewal option, such amounts are not amortized until the renewal option is executed, else the related value is expensed at that time. Should a tenant terminate its lease, we accelerate the amortization of the unamortized portion of the tenant origination cost, leasing commissions, absorption costs and net lease intangible associated with that lease, over its new, shorter term. Balances, net of accumulated depreciation or amortization, as appropriate, of the components of the fair value of in-place leases at December 31, 2017 and 2016 were as follows (in thousands): December 31, 2017 2016 Gross Carrying Value Accumulated Amortization Net Gross Carrying Value Accumulated Amortization Net Tenant origination costs $ 66,378 $ 50,157 $ 16,221 $ 54,352 $ 44,823 $ 9,529 Leasing commissions/absorption costs 123,992 95,115 28,877 101,311 86,210 15,101 Net lease intangible assets 19,362 16,089 3,273 18,903 14,193 4,710 Net lease intangible liabilities 43,230 28,174 15,056 33,687 25,359 8,328 Below-market ground lease intangible asset 12,080 1,903 10,177 12,080 1,714 10,366 Amortization of these combined components during the three years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 and 2015 was as follows (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2017 2016 2015 Depreciation and amortization expense $ 14,911 $ 17,655 $ 22,244 Real estate rental revenue (increase) decrease, net (922 ) 410 538 $ 13,989 $ 18,065 $ 22,782 Amortization of these combined components over the next five years is projected to be as follows (in thousands): Depreciation and amortization expense Real estate rental revenue, net increase Total 2018 $ 13,456 $ (1,574 ) $ 11,882 2019 6,485 (1,633 ) 4,852 2020 4,905 (1,335 ) 3,570 2021 3,729 (1,191 ) 2,538 2022 3,058 (1,155 ) 1,903 Thereafter 23,642 (4,895 ) 18,747 Software Developed for Internal Use The costs of software developed for internal use that qualify for capitalization are included with Prepaid expenses and other assets on our consolidated balance sheets. These capitalized costs include external direct costs utilized in developing or obtaining the applications and expenses for employees who are directly associated with the development of the applications. Capitalization of such costs begins when the preliminary project stage is complete and continues until the project is substantially complete and is ready for its intended purpose. Completed projects are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Discontinued Operations We classify properties as held for sale when they meet the necessary criteria, which include: (a) senior management commits to and actively embarks upon a plan to sell the assets, (b) the sale is expected to be completed within one year under terms usual and customary for such sales and (c) 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. We generally consider that a property has met these criteria when a sale of the property has been approved by the board of trustees, or a committee with authorization from the board of trustees, there are no known significant contingencies related to the sale and management believes it is probable that the sale will be completed within one year. Depreciation on these properties is discontinued at the time they are classified as held for sale, but operating revenues, operating expenses and interest expense continue to be recognized until the date of sale. Revenues and expenses of properties that are either sold or classified as held for sale are presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the consolidated statements of income if the dispositions represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on our operations and financial results. Interest on debt that can be identified as specifically attributed to these properties is included in discontinued operations. If the dispositions do not represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on our operations and financial results, then the revenues and expenses of the properties that are classified as sold or held for sale are presented as continuing operations in the consolidated statements of income for all periods presented. Segments We evaluate performance based upon net operating income from the combined properties in each segment. Our reportable operating segments are consolidations of similar properties. GAAP requires that segment disclosures present the measure(s) used by the chief operating decision maker for purposes of assessing segments’ performance. Net operating income is a key measurement of our segment profit and loss. Net operating income is defined as segment real estate rental revenue less segment real estate expenses. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash and commercial paper with original maturities of 90 days or less. We maintain cash deposits with financial institutions that at times exceed applicable insurance limits. We reduce this risk by maintaining such deposits with high quality financial institutions that management believes are credit-worthy. Restricted Cash Restricted cash includes funds escrowed for tenant security deposits, real estate tax, insurance and mortgage escrows and escrow deposits required by lenders on certain of our properties to be used for future building renovations or tenant improvements. Earnings Per Common Share We determine “Basic earnings per share” using the two-class method as our unvested restricted share awards and units have non-forfeitable rights to dividends, and are therefore considered participating securities. We compute basic earnings per share by dividing net income attributable to the controlling interest less the allocation of undistributed earnings to unvested restricted share awards and units by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. We also determine “Diluted earnings per share” under the two-class method with respect to the unvested restricted share awards. We further evaluate any other potentially dilutive securities at the end of the period and adjust the basic earnings per share calculation for the impact of those securities that are dilutive. Our dilutive earnings per share calculation includes the dilutive impact of employee stock options based on the treasury stock method and our performance share units under the contingently issuable method. Stock Based Compensation We currently maintain equity based compensation plans for trustees, officers and employees. We recognize compensation expense for service-based share awards ratably over the period from the service inception date through the vesting period based on the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. If an award's service inception date precedes the grant date, we initially measure compensation expense for awards with performance conditions at fair value at the service inception date based on probability of payout, and we remeasure compensation expense at subsequent reporting dates until all of the award’s key terms and conditions are known and the grant date is established. We amortize awards with performance conditions using the graded expense method. We measure compensation expense for awards with market conditions based on the grant date fair value, as determined using a Monte Carlo simulation, and we amortize the expense ratably over the requisite service period, regardless of whether the market conditions are achieved and the awards ultimately vest. Compensation expense for the trustee grants, which fully vest immediately, is fully recognized upon issuance based upon the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes We can recognize a tax benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that a particular tax position will be sustained upon examination or audit. To the extent that the “more likely than not” standard has been satisfied, the benefit associated with a tax position is measured as the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being recognized upon settlement. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, we did not have any unrecognized tax benefits. We do not believe that there will be any material changes to our uncertain tax positions over the next twelve months. We are subject to federal income tax as well as income tax of the states of Maryland and Virginia, and the District of Columbia. However, as a REIT, we generally are not subject to income tax on our taxable income to the extent it is distributed as dividends to our shareholders. Tax returns filed for 2013 through 2017 tax years are subject to examination by taxing authorities. We classify interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, in our financial statements as a component of general and administrative expense. Derivatives We borrow funds at a combination of fixed and variable rates. Borrowings under our revolving credit facility and term loans bear interest at variable rates. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to minimize interest rate fluctuation on long-term indebtedness and limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows. To achieve these objectives, from time to time, we may enter into interest rate hedge contracts such as collars, swaps, caps and treasury lock agreements in order to mitigate our interest rate risk with respect to various debt instruments. We generally do not hold or issue these derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes. The interest rate swaps we enter into are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. We assess effectiveness of our cash flow hedges both at inception and on an ongoing basis. The effective portion of changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps associated with our cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Our cash flow hedges become ineffective if critical terms of the hedging instrument and the debt instrument such as notional amounts, settlement dates, reset dates, calculation period and LIBOR do not perfectly match. In addition, we evaluate the default risk of the counterparty by monitoring the creditworthiness of the counterparty. When ineffectiveness of a cash flow hedge exists, the ineffective portion of changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps associated with our cash flow hedges is recognized in earnings in the period affected. |

Real Estate Investment | REAL ESTATE As of December 31, 2017 and 2016 , our real estate investment portfolio classified as held and used, at cost, consists of properties as follows (in thousands): December 31, 2017 2016 Office $ 1,355,033 $ 1,349,378 Multifamily 895,811 885,084 Retail 451,158 450,941 $ 2,702,002 $ 2,685,403 Our results of operations are dependent on the overall economic health of our markets, tenants and the specific segments in which we own properties. These segments include office, retail and multifamily. All segments are affected by external economic factors, such as inflation, consumer confidence and unemployment rates, as well as changing tenant and consumer requirements. As of December 31, 2017 , no property accounted for more than 10% of total assets. No single property or tenant accounted for more than 10% of the real estate rental revenue. We have properties under development/redevelopment and held for current or future development as of December 31, 2017 and 2016. In the office segment, we had a redevelopment project at the Army Navy Building, an office property in Washington, DC, to upgrade its common areas and add significant amenities in order to make the property more competitive within its sub-market. As of December 31, 2017 , we had invested $4.8 million in the redevelopment and placed substantially all of the project into service. In the multifamily segment, we have The Trove, a multifamily development adjacent to The Wellington, and own land held for future multifamily development adjacent to Riverside Apartments. As of December 31, 2017 , we had invested $29.7 million and $19.2 million , including the costs of acquired land, in the Trove and the development adjacent to Riverside Apartments, respectively. In the retail segment, we currently have a redevelopment project to add rentable space at Spring Valley Village. As of December 31, 2017 , we had invested $3.6 million in the redevelopment. The cost of our real estate portfolio under development or held for future development as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 is as follows (in thousands): December 31, 2017 2016 Office $ 680 $ 2,640 Multifamily 49,616 36,013 Retail 4,126 1,579 $ 54,422 $ 40,232 Acquisitions Our current strategy is to recycle legacy assets that lack the income growth potential we seek and to invest in high-quality assets with compelling value-add returns through redevelopment opportunities in our existing portfolio and acquisitions that meet our stringent investment criteria. We focus on properties inside the Washington metro region’s Beltway, near major transportation nodes and in areas with strong employment drivers and superior growth demographics. Properties and land for development acquired during the three years ended December 31, 2017 were as follows: Acquisition Date Property Type # of units (unaudited) Rentable Square Feet (unaudited) Contract Purchase Price (in thousands) April 4, 2017 Watergate 600 Office N/A 293,000 $ 135,000 May 20, 2016 Riverside Apartments Multifamily 1,222 N/A $ 244,750 July 1, 2015 The Wellington Multifamily 711 N/A $ 167,000 The results of operations from acquired operating properties are included in the consolidated statements of income as of their acquisition dates. The revenue and earnings of our acquisitions during their year of acquisition for the three years ended December 31, 2017 are as follows (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2017 2016 2015 Real estate rental revenue $ 14,518 $ 13,112 $ 6,797 Net income (loss) 2,226 (1,688 ) (2,748 ) As discussed in note 2 , we record the acquired physical assets (land, building and tenant improvements), in-place leases (absorption, tenant origination costs, leasing commissions, and net lease intangible assets/liabilities), and any other liabilities on a relative fair value basis. We recorded the total cost of the above acquisitions as follows (in thousands): 2017 2016 2015 Land $ 45,981 $ 38,924 $ 30,548 Land held for development — 15,968 15,000 Buildings 66,241 184,854 116,563 Tenant origination costs 12,084 — — Leasing commissions/absorption costs 23,161 4,992 4,889 Net lease intangible assets 498 22 — Net lease intangible liabilities (9,585 ) (10 ) — Deferred tax liability (560 ) — — Total $ 137,820 $ 244,750 $ 167,000 The weighted remaining average life for 2017 acquisition components above, other than land and building, are 89 months for tenant origination costs, 82 months for leasing commissions/absorption costs, 13 months for net lease intangible assets and 102 months for net lease intangible liabilities. The difference in the total contract purchase price of $135.0 million for the 2017 acquisition and cash paid for the acquisition per the consolidated statements of cash flows of $138.4 million is primarily due to capitalized acquisition-related costs ( $2.8 million ) and a net credit to the buyer for certain expenditures ( $1.0 million ), partially offset by the issuance of 12,124 operating partnership units (“Operating Partnership Units”) as part of the consideration ( $0.4 million ). The Operating Partnership Units are units in WashREIT Watergate 600 OP LP, a consolidated subsidiary of Washington REIT. These Operating Partnership Units may be redeemed for either cash equal to the fair market value of a share of Washington REIT common stock at the time of redemption (based on a 20 -day average price) or, at the option of Washington REIT, one registered or unregistered share of Washington REIT common stock. In connection with the 2017 acquisition, we granted registration rights to the two contributors of the Watergate 600 property relating to the resale of any shares issued upon exchange of Operating Partnership Units pursuant to a shelf registration statement that we have an obligation to make available to the contributors approximately one year after the issuance of the Operating Partnership Units. The difference in the total contract price of $244.8 million for the 2016 acquisition and cash paid for the acquisition per the consolidated statements of cash flows of $227.4 million is primarily due to acquisition of land for development of $16.0 million and credits received at settlement totaling $1.4 million . The difference in the total contract price of $167.0 million for the 2015 acquisitions and cash paid for the acquisitions per the consolidated statements of cash flows of $151.9 million is primarily due to acquisition of land for development of $15.0 million and credits received at settlement totaling $0.1 million . Variable Interest Entities In November 2011, we executed a joint venture operating agreement with a real estate development company to develop a high-rise multifamily property at 1225 First Street in Alexandria, Virginia. Washington REIT and the real estate development company owned 95% and 5% of the joint venture, respectively. During the second quarter of 2015, we determined that we would not develop the property and began negotiations to sell our interest in the joint venture. We recognized a $5.9 million impairment charge for the second quarter of 2015 in order to reduce the carrying value of the property to its estimated fair value. We based this fair value on the contract sale price in the purchase and sale agreement. This fair valuation falls into Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. During the third quarter of 2015, we sold our 95% interest in the joint venture for a contract sale price of $14.5 million and deconsolidated the entity, as this joint venture had previously been consolidated as Washington REIT was the primary beneficiary of the VIE. In June 2011, we executed a joint venture operating agreement with a real estate development company to develop The Maxwell, a mid-rise multifamily property in Arlington, Virginia. Major construction activities at The Maxwell ended during December 2014, and the building became available for occupancy during the first quarter of 2015. Washington REIT was the 90% owner of the joint venture. The real estate development company owned 10% of the joint venture and was responsible for the development and construction of the property. During the fourth quarter of 2017, we purchased the 10% joint venture interest from the real estate development company for a contract purchase price of $4.1 million . Upon the completion of this transaction, the joint venture ended and Washington REIT became sole owner of The Maxwell. We determined that, prior to completion of this transaction, The Maxwell joint venture was a VIE primarily based on the fact that the equity investment at risk was not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional financial support. We also determined that Washington REIT was the primary beneficiary of the VIE due to the fact that Washington REIT was determined to have a controlling financial interest in the entity. In January 2016, Washington REIT exercised its right to purchase at par The Maxwell’s construction loan from the original third-party lender. Upon the purchase, the construction loan became an intercompany loan payable from the consolidated VIE to Washington REIT that is eliminated in consolidation. The intercompany loan payable was extinguished as part of Washington REIT’s purchase of the joint venture partner’s 10% interest during the fourth quarter of 2017. We include joint venture land acquisitions and related capitalized development costs on our consolidated balance sheets in properties under development or held for future development until placed in service or sold. The Maxwell was placed into service during the fourth quarter of 2014 and first quarter of 2015. As of December 31, 2016 , The Maxwell joint venture's assets were as follows (in thousands): December 31, 2016 Land $ 12,851 Income producing property 37,949 Accumulated depreciation and amortization (4,571 ) Other assets 456 $ 46,685 As of December 31, 2016 , The Maxwell joint venture's liabilities were as follows (in thousands): December 31, 2016 Mortgage notes payable, net (1) $ 31,869 Accounts payable and other liabilities 186 Tenant security deposits 99 $ 32,154 (1) The mortgage notes payable balance as of December 31, 2016 was eliminated in consolidation due to the purchase of the loan by Washington REIT in January 2016. The mortgage note payable was extinguished during the fourth quarter of 2017 due to Washington REIT’s purchase of the joint venture partner's interest. Properties Sold and Held for Sale We intend to hold our properties for investment with a view to long-term appreciation, to engage in the business of acquiring, developing and owning our properties, and to make occasional sales of the properties that no longer meet our long-term strategy or return objectives and where market conditions for sale are favorable. The proceeds from the sales may be reinvested into other properties, used to fund development operations or to support other corporate needs, or distributed to our shareholders. Depreciation on these properties is discontinued when classified as held for sale, but operating revenues, other operating expenses and interest continue to be recognized until the date of sale. During the second quarter of 2017, we executed a purchase and sale agreement for the sale of Walker House Apartments, a 212 unit multifamily property in Gaithersburg, Maryland, for a contract sale price of $32.2 million . We closed on the sale during the fourth quarter of 2017, recognizing a gain on sale of $23.8 million . During the fourth quarter of 2017, we executed a purchase and sale agreement for the sale of Braddock Metro Center, a 356,000 square foot office property in Alexandria, Virginia for a contract sale price of $93.0 million , and closed on the sale in January 2018. We determined that the property met the criteria for classification as held for sale as of December 31, 2017. Due to the negotiations to sell the property, we evaluated Braddock Metro Center for impairment and recognized a $9.1 million impairment charge during 2017 in order to reduce the carrying value of the property to its estimated fair value, less selling costs. We based this fair valuation on the expected sale price from a potential sale. There are few observable market transactions for similar properties. This fair valuation falls into Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy due to its reliance on a quoted price in a market that is not active. During the fourth quarter of 2017, we marketed for sale 2445 M Street, a 292,000 square foot office property in Washington, DC. The property did not meet the criteria for classification as held for sale as of December 31, 2017. Due to the negotiations to sell the property, we evaluated 2445 M Street for impairment and recognized a $24.1 million impairment charge during 2017 in order to reduce the carrying value of the property to its estimated fair value. We based this fair valuation on the expected sale price from a potential sale. There are few observable market transactions for similar properties. This fair valuation falls into Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy due to its reliance on a quoted price in a market that is not active. On January 23, 2018, we executed a purchase and sale agreement to sell 2445 M Street for a contract sale price of $100.0 million . We anticipate settlement in the third quarter of 2018, however, there can be no assurances that this proposed sale will be consummated. Upon execution of the purchase and sale agreement, the property met the criteria for classification as held for sale. During the second quarter of 2016, we sold Dulles Station, Phase II, which consists of land held for future development and an interest in a parking garage in Herndon, Virginia, for $12.1 million . Also during the second quarter of 2016, we executed two purchase and sale agreements with a single buyer for the sale of a portfolio of six office properties located in Maryland: 6110 Executive Boulevard, Wayne Plaza, 600 Jefferson Plaza, West Gude Drive, 51 Monroe Street and One Central Plaza (collectively, the "Maryland Office Portfolio") for an aggregate contract sale price of $240.0 million . We closed on the first sale transaction in June 2016 and closed on the second sale transaction in September 2016. We sold our interests in the following properties during the three years ended December 31, 2017 : Disposition Date Property Segment # of units (unaudited) Rentable Contract Gain on Sale October 23, 2017 Walker House Apartments Multifamily 212 N/A $ 32,200 $ 23,838 Total 2017 $ 32,200 $ 23,838 May 26, 2016 Dulles Station, Phase II (1) Office N/A N/A $ 12,100 $ 527 June 27, 2016 Maryland Office Portfolio Transaction I (2) Office N/A 692,000 111,500 23,585 September 22, 2016 Maryland Office Portfolio Transaction II (3) Office N/A 491,000 128,500 77,592 Total 2016 1,183,000 $ 252,100 $ 101,704 March 20, 2015 Country Club Towers Multifamily 227 N/A $ 37,800 $ 30,277 September 9, 2015 1225 First Street (4) Multifamily N/A N/A 14,500 — October 21, 2015 Munson Hill Towers Multifamily 279 N/A 57,050 51,395 December 14, 2015 Montgomery Village Center Retail N/A 197,000 27,750 7,981 Total 2015 506 197,000 $ 137,100 $ 89,653 (1) Land held for future development and an interest in a parking garage.

(3) Maryland Office Portfolio Transaction II consists of 51 Monroe Street and One Central Plaza. (4) Interest in land held for future development. We do not have significant continuing involvement in the operations of the disposed properties. While the Maryland Office Portfolio, in the aggregate, constitutes an individually significant disposition, it does not qualify for presentation and disclosure as a discontinued operation as it does not represent a strategic shift in our operations. Real estate rental revenue and net income for the Maryland Office Portfolio for the three years ended December 31, 2017 are as follows: Year Ending December 31, 2017 2016 2015 Real estate rental revenue $ — $ 20,266 $ 32,423 Net income — 9,376 9,848 Casualty Gains We recorded a net casualty gain of $0.7 million during the second quarter of 2016 associated with a fire at Bethesda Hill Towers that damaged four units, which is included in real estate impairment and casualty (gain), net on our consolidated statements of income. The net casualty gain is comprised of $0.9 million in third-party insurance proceeds received by us, which were partially offset by casualty charges of $0.2 million to write off the net book value of the damaged units at Bethesda Hill Towers. |

Unsecured Debt [Abstract] | |
Unsecured Lines Of Credit Payable | UNSECURED LINES OF CREDIT PAYABLE During the second quarter of 2015, we terminated our $100.0 million unsecured line of credit maturing in June 2015 and our $400.0 million unsecured line of credit maturing in July 2016 , and executed a new $600.0 million unsecured credit agreement ("Revolving Credit Facility") that matures in June 2019 , unless extended pursuant to one or both of the two six -month extension options. The Revolving Credit Facility has an accordion feature that allows us to increase the facility to $1.0 billion , subject to the extent the lenders agree to provide additional revolving loan commitments or term loans. In September 2015, we entered into a $150.0 million unsecured term loan ("2015 Term Loan") by executing a portion of the accordion feature under the Revolving Credit Facility. The 2015 Term Loan has a 5.5 year term and currently has an interest rate of one month LIBOR plus 110 basis points, based on Washington REIT's current unsecured debt ratings. We entered into two interest rate swaps to effectively fix the interest rate at 2.7% (see note 7 ). The amount of the Revolving Credit Facility unused and available at December 31, 2017 was as follows (in thousands): Committed capacity $ 600,000 Borrowings outstanding (166,000 ) Unused and available $ 434,000 We executed borrowings and repayments on the Revolving Credit Facility during 2017 as follows (in thousands): Balance at December 31, 2016 $ 120,000 Borrowings 274,000 Repayments (228,000 ) Balance at December 31, 2017 $ 166,000 The Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at a rate of either LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 0.875% to 1.55% or the base rate plus a margin ranging from 0% to 0.55% (in each case depending upon Washington REIT’s credit rating). The base rate is the highest of the administrative agent's prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.5% and the LIBOR market index rate plus 1.0% . As of December 31, 2017 , the interest rate on the facility is LIBOR plus 1.0% and the one month LIBOR was 1.56% . All outstanding advances for the Revolving Credit Facility are due and payable upon maturity in June 2019 , unless extended pursuant to one or both of the two six-month extension options. Interest only payments are due and payable generally on a monthly basis. In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility requires the payment of a facility fee ranging from 0.125% to 0.30% (depending on Washington REIT’s credit rating) on the $600.0 million committed capacity, without regard to usage. As of December 31, 2017 , the facility fee is 0.20% . For the three years ended December 31, 2017 , we recognized interest expense (excluding facility fees) and facility fees as follows (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2017 2016 2015 Interest expense (excluding facility fees) $ 3,857 $ 3,272 $ 2,266 Facility fees 1,217 1,220 1,241 The Revolving Credit Facility contains certain financial and non-financial covenants, all of which we have met as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 . Included in these covenants are limits on our total indebtedness, secured and unsecured indebtedness and required debt service payments.

The covenants for the notes require us to keep all of our insurable properties insured against loss or damage at least equal to their then full insurable value. We have an insurance policy that has no terrorism exclusion, except for non-certified nuclear, chemical and biological acts of terrorism. Our financial condition and results of operations are subject to the risks associated with acts of terrorism and the potential for uninsured losses as the result of any such acts. Effective November 26, 2002, under this existing coverage, any losses caused by certified acts of terrorism would be partially reimbursed by the United States under a formula established by federal law. Under this formula, the United States pays 85% of covered terrorism losses exceeding the statutorily established deductible paid by the insurance provider, and insurers pay 10% until aggregate insured losses from all insurers reach $100 billion in a calendar year. If the aggregate amount of insured losses under this program exceeds $100 billion during the applicable period for all insured and insurers combined, then each insurance provider will not be liable for payment of any amount which exceeds the aggregate amount of $100 billion . On January 12, 2015, the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015 was signed into law and extended the program through December 31, 2020.

For variable rate notes, the effective rate represents the rate as fixed by interest rate derivatives (see note 7 ). (2) No principal amounts are due prior to maturity. During the third quarter of 2016, we entered into a seven year, $150.0 million unsecured term loan ("2016 Term Loan") maturing on July 21, 2023 with a deferred draw period of up to six months commencing on July 22, 2016 . The 2016 Term Loan bears interest at a rate of either LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.45% or the base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.5% to 1.45% (in each case depending upon Washington REIT’s credit rating). The base rate is the highest of the administrative agent's prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and the daily one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.0% . The 2016 Term Loan bears interest at a rate of one month LIBOR plus 165 basis points, based on Washington REIT's current unsecured debt ratings. We borrowed $100.0 million on the term loan in the fourth quarter of 2016, and borrowed the remaining $50.0 million in January 2017. We also entered into forward interest rate derivatives commencing on March 31, 2017 to effectively fix the interest rate on the 2016 Term Loan at 2.86% (see note 7 ). The required principal payments as of December 31, 2017 are as follows (in thousands): 2018 $ — 2019 — 2020 250,000 2021 150,000 2022 300,000 Thereafter 200,000 $ 900,000 Interest on these notes is payable semi-annually, except for the term loans, for which interest is payable monthly. These notes contain certain financial and non-financial covenants, all of which we have met as of December 31, 2017 . Included in these covenants is the requirement to maintain a minimum level of unencumbered assets, as well as limits on our total indebtedness, secured indebtedness and required debt service payments. |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivative Instruments | DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS On September 15, 2015 , we entered into two interest rate swap arrangements with a total notional amount of $150.0 million to swap the floating interest rate under the 2015 Term Loan (see note 6 ) to an all-in fixed interest rate of 2.72% starting on October 15, 2015 and extending until the maturity of the 2015 Term Loan on March 15, 2021 . On July 22, 2016 , we entered into two forward interest rate swap arrangements with a total notional amount of $150.0 million to swap the floating interest rate under the 2016 Term Loan (see note 6) to an all-in fixed interest rate of 2.86% , starting on March 31, 2017 and extending until the maturity of the 2016 Term Loan on July 21, 2023 . The interest rate swaps qualify as cash flow hedges and are recorded at fair value in accordance with GAAP, based on discounted cash flow methodologies and observable inputs. We record the effective portion of changes in fair value of the cash flow hedges in other comprehensive income (loss). The resulting unrealized loss on the effective portions of the cash flow hedges was the only activity in other comprehensive income (loss) during the periods presented in our consolidated financial statements. We assess the effectiveness of our cash flow hedges both at inception and on an ongoing basis. The cash flow hedges were effective for 2017 and 2016 and hedge ineffectiveness did not impact earnings in 2017 and 2016 . The fair values of the interest rate swaps as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 , are as follows (in thousands): Aggregate Notional Amount Effective Date Fair Value Asset Derivatives December 31, Derivative Instrument Maturity Date 2017 2016 Interest rate swaps $ 150,000 October 15, 2015 March 15, 2021 $ 1,987 $ 417 Interest rate swaps 150,000 March 31, 2017 July 21, 2023 7,432 7,194 $ 300,000 $ 9,419 $ 7,611 We record interest rate swaps on our consolidated balance sheets with prepaid expenses and other assets when in a net asset position, and with accounts payable and other liabilities when in a net liability position. The interest rate swaps have been effective since inception. The gains or losses on the effective swaps are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), as follows (in thousands): Year Ending December 31, 2017 2016 2015 Unrealized gain (loss) on interest rate hedges $ 1,808 $ 8,161 $ (550 ) Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on our variable-rate debt. During the next twelve months, we estimate that $1.1 million will be reclassified as a decrease to interest expense. We have agreements with each of our derivative counterparties that contain a provision whereby we could be declared in default on our derivative obligations if repayment of the underlying indebtedness is accelerated by the lender due to our default on the indebtedness. As of December 31, 2017 , the fair values of derivatives were in a net asset position of $9.4 million , including accrued interest but excluding any adjustment for nonperformance risk. As of December 31, 2017 , we have not posted any collateral related to these agreements. Derivative instruments expose us to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparty under the terms of the interest rate hedge agreement. We believe that we minimize our credit risk on these transactions by dealing with major, creditworthy financial institutions. We monitor the credit ratings of counterparties and our exposure to any single entity, thus minimizing our credit risk concentration. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Disclosures | FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value For assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, quantitative disclosures about the fair value measurements are required to be disclosed separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, as follows: Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets Level 2: Significant other observable inputs Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs The only assets or liabilities we had at December 31, 2017 and 2016 that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis are the assets held in the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan ("SERP"), which primarily consists of investments in mutual funds, and the interest rate swaps (see note 7 ). We base the valuations related to the SERP on assumptions derived from significant other observable inputs and accordingly these valuations fall into Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The valuation of the interest rate swaps is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each interest rate swap. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the interest rate swaps, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments (or receipts) and the discounted expected variable cash receipts (or payments). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. To comply with the provisions of ASC 820, we incorporate credit valuation adjustments in the fair value measurements to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk. These credit valuation adjustments were concluded to not be significant inputs for the fair value calculations for the periods presented. In adjusting the fair value of our derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as the posting of collateral, thresholds, mutual puts and guarantees. The valuation of interest rate swaps fall into Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of these assets and liabilities at December 31, 2017 and 2016 were as follows (in thousands): December 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Fair Value Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Fair Value Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Assets: SERP $ 1,858 $ — $ 1,858 $ — $ 1,407 $ — $ 1,407 $ — Interest rate swaps 9,419 — 9,419 — 7,611 — 7,611 — Financial Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value The following disclosures of estimated fair value were determined by management using available market information and established valuation methodologies, including discounted cash flow. Many of these estimates involve significant judgment. The estimated fair value disclosed may not necessarily be indicative of the amounts we could realize on disposition of the financial instruments. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methodologies could have an effect on the estimated fair value amounts. In addition, fair value estimates are made at a point in time and thus, estimates of fair value subsequent to December 31, 2017 may differ significantly from the amounts presented. Below is a summary of significant methodologies used in estimating fair values and a schedule of fair values at December 31, 2017 . Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash include cash and commercial paper with original maturities of less than 90 days , which are valued at the carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments (Level 1 inputs). Notes Receivable We acquired a note receivable ("2445 M Street note") in 2008 with the purchase of 2445 M Street. This note was repaid during the fourth quarter of 2017. Prior to its repayment, we estimated the fair value of the 2445 M Street note based on a discounted cash flow methodology using market discount rates (Level 3 inputs). Debt Mortgage notes payable consist of instruments in which certain of our real estate assets are used for collateral. We estimate the fair value of the mortgage notes payable by discounting the contractual cash flows at a rate equal to the relevant treasury rates (with respect to the timing of each cash flow) plus credit spreads estimated through independent comparisons to real estate assets or loans with similar characteristics. Lines of credit payable consist of bank facilities which we use for various purposes including working capital, acquisition funding and capital improvements. The lines of credit advances and term loans with floating interest rates are priced at a specified rate plus a spread. We estimate the market value based on a comparison of the spreads of the advances to market given the adjustable base rate. We estimate the fair value of the notes payable by discounting the contractual cash flows at a rate equal to the relevant treasury rates (with respect to the timing of each cash flow) plus credit spreads derived using the relevant securities’ market prices. We classify these fair value measurements as Level 3 as we use significant unobservable inputs and management judgment due to the absence of quoted market prices. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016 , the carrying values and estimated fair values of our financial instruments were as follows (in thousands): December 31, 2017 2016 Carrying Value Fair Value Carrying Value Fair Value Cash and cash equivalents $ 9,847 $ 9,847 $ 11,305 $ 11,305 Restricted cash 2,776 2,776 6,317 6,317 2445 M Street note receivable — — 2,089 2,173 Mortgage notes payable 95,141 97,181 148,540 149,997 Lines of credit payable 166,000 166,000 120,000 120,000 Notes payable 894,358 931,377 843,084 873,516 |

Share-based Compensation [Abstract] | |
Stock Based Compensation | STOCK BASED COMPENSATION Washington REIT maintains short-term and long-term incentive plans that allow for stock-based awards to officers and non-officer employees. Stock based awards are provided to officers and non-officer employees, as well as trustees, under the Washington Real Estate Investment Trust 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan which allows for awards in the form of restricted shares, restricted share units, options, and other awards up to an aggregate of 2,400,000 shares over the ten year period in which the plan will be in effect. Restricted share units are converted into shares of our stock upon full vesting through the issuance of new shares. There were no options issued or outstanding as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 . Short-Term Incentive Plan ("STIP") Under the STIP, executive officers earn awards, payable 50% in cash and 50% in restricted shares, based on a percentage of salary and an achievement rating subject to the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the board of trustees in consideration of various performance conditions and other subjective factors during a one -year performance period. With respect to the 50% of the STIP award payable in restricted shares, the restricted shares will vest over a three -year period commencing on the January 1 following the end of the one -year performance period. Prior to the adoption of the 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan, stock based awards to officers, non-officer employees and trustees were issued under the Washington Real Estate Investment Trust 2007 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan which allowed for awards in the form of restricted shares, restricted share units, options and other awards up to an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares while the plan was in effect. The grant date for the 50% of the STIP award payable in restricted shares is the date on which the Compensation Committee approves the STIP awards. We recognize compensation expense on this 50% when the grant date occurs at the end of the one -year period through the three -year vesting period. Bonuses payable under the short-term incentive plans for non-executive officers and staff are payable 100% in cash. Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") Under the LTIP, executive officers earn awards payable, 75% in unrestricted shares and 25% in restricted shares, based on a percentage of salary and the achievement of certain market conditions. LTIP performance is evaluated based 50% on absolute total shareholder return (“TSR”) and 50% on relative TSR over a three -year evaluation period with a new three -year period initiating under the existing plan each year. The officers' total award opportunities under the LTIP stated as a percentage of base salary ranges from 80% to 150% at target level. The unrestricted shares vest immediately at the end of the three -year performance period, and the restricted shares vest over a one -year period commencing on the January 1 following the end of the three -year performance period. In addition, during the transition period from the prior LTIP in 2014, the board of trustees awarded similar transition awards with defined performance periods of one and two years and modified vesting to account for the transition. We recognize compensation expense ratably (over three years for the 75% unrestricted shares and over four years for the 25% restricted shares) based on the grant date fair value, as determined using a Monte Carlo simulation, and regardless of whether the market conditions are achieved and the awards ultimately vest. We use a binomial model which employs the Monte Carlo method as of the grant date to determine the fair value of the officer LTIP awards. The market condition performance measurement is based on total shareholder return on both an absolute basis ( 50% weighting) and relative to a defined population of peer companies ( 50% weighting). The model evaluates the awards for changing total shareholder return over the term of the vesting, on an absolute basis and relative to the peer companies, and uses random simulations that are based on past stock characteristics as well as dividend growth and other factors for Washington REIT and each of the peer companies. The assumptions used to value the officer LTIP awards were as follows: 2017 Awards 2016 Awards 2015 Awards Expected volatility (1) 18.5% - 18.7% 18.2 % 17.2% - 17.5% Risk-free interest rate (2) 1.5 % 1.3 % 1.0% - 1.1% Expected term (3) 3 and 4 years 3 and 4 years 3 and 4 years Share price at grant date $30.84 - $32.69 $27.06 $27.66 - $27.76 (1) Expected volatility based upon historical volatility of our daily closing share price. (2) Risk-free interest rate based on U.S. treasury constant maturity bonds on the measurement date with a maturity equal to the market condition performance period. (3) Expected term based on the market condition performance period. The calculated grant date fair value as a percentage of base salary for the officers for the three-year performance period that commenced in 2017 ranged from approximately 37% to 67% for the 50% of the LTIP based on relative TSR and from 13% to 31% for the 50% of the LTIP based on absolute TSR. The calculated grant date fair value as a percentage of base salary for the officers for the three-year performance period that commenced in 2016 ranged from approximately 38% to 66% for the 50% of the LTIP based on relative TSR and from 17% to 30% for the 50% of the LTIP based on absolute TSR. The calculated grant date fair value as a percentage of base salary for the officers for the three-year performance period that commenced in 2015 ranged from approximately 40% to 69% for the 50% of the LTIP based on relative TSR and from 13% to 29% for the 50% of the LTIP based on absolute TSR. During 2017, our chief executive officer was granted a one-time equity award of 100,000 restricted shares. None of the restricted shares vest until the fifth anniversary of the grant date, at which time 100% of the restricted shares will vest, subject to Mr. McDermott's continued employment with Washington REIT until such vesting date. Our non-executive officers and other employees earn restricted share unit awards under a long-term incentive plan for non-executive officers and staff, which became effective on January 1, 2016, based upon various percentages of their salaries and annual performance calculations. The restricted share unit awards vest ratably over three years from December 15 preceding the grant date based upon continued employment. For awards made through 2016, the service inception date precedes the grant date. For these awards, we initially measured compensation expense for awards with performance conditions at fair value at the service inception date based on probability of payout, and we remeasured compensation expense at subsequent reporting dates until all of the award's key terms and conditions are known and the grant date is established. We recognized compensation expense for these awards according to a graded vesting schedule over the four -year requisite service period. During 2016, we amended the LTIP for other officers and other employees. Among the changes to the LTIP was the inclusion of strategic goals with subjective performance criteria. As a result of these changes, the service inception date is the same as the grant date for awards made under the amended LTIP. We recognize compensation expense for these awards according to a graded vesting schedule over the three-year requisite service period. Restricted share awards made to retirement-eligible employees fully vest on the grant date. Employees are considered retirement-eligible when they are both over the age of 55 and have been employed by Washington REIT for at least 20 years, or over the age of 65. We fully recognize compensation expense for such awards as of the grant date. Trustee Awards We award share based compensation to our trustees in the form of restricted shares which vest immediately and are restricted from sale for the period of the trustees' service. The value of share-based compensation for each trustee was $100,000 for each of three years ended December 31, 2017 . Total Compensation Expense Total compensation expense recognized in the consolidated financial statements for each of the three years ended December 31, 2017 for all share based awards was $4.8 million , $3.5 million and $5.1 million , respectively, net of capitalized stock-based compensation expense of $0.2 million , $0.1 million and $0.6 million , respectively. Restricted Share Awards with Performance and Service Conditions The activity for the three years ended December 31, 2017 related to our restricted share awards, excluding those subject to market conditions, was as follows: Shares Wtd Avg Grant Fair Value Unvested at December 31, 2014 93,667 $ 25.22 Granted 251,642 27.80 Vested during year (212,856 ) 27.18 Forfeited (26,309 ) 26.77 Unvested at December 31, 2015 106,144 27.71 Granted 251,694 26.01 Vested during year (211,771 ) 29.21 Forfeited (38,368 ) 26.14 Unvested at December 31, 2016 107,699 26.47 Granted 330,639 32.46 Vested during year (194,569 ) 30.50 Forfeited (7,075 ) 27.43 Unvested at December 31, 2017 236,694 27.96 The total fair value of share grants vested for each of the three years ended December 31, 2017 was $5.9 million , $6.2 million and $5.8 million , respectively. As of December 31, 2017 , the total compensation cost related to non-vested share awards not yet recognized was $6.6 million , which we expect to recognize over a weighted average period of 35 months . Restricted and Unrestricted Shares with Market Conditions Stock based awards with market conditions under the LTIP were granted in 2017, 2016 and 2015 with fair market values, as determined using a Monte Carlo simulation, as follows (in thousands): Grant Date Fair Value 2017 Awards 2016 Awards 2015 Awards Restricted Unrestricted Restricted Unrestricted Restricted Unrestricted Relative TSR $ 222 $ 666 $ 182 $ 546 $ 191 $ 634 Absolute TSR 100 299 82 246 76 254 The unamortized value of these awards with market conditions as of December 31, 2017 was as follows (in thousands): 2017 Awards 2016 Awards 2015 Awards Restricted Unrestricted Restricted Unrestricted Restricted Unrestricted Relative TSR $ 166 $ 444 $ 117 $ 314 $ 83 $ 165 Absolute TSR 75 199 53 142 33 66 |

Defined Benefit Plan [Abstract] | |
Other Benefit Plans | OTHER BENEFIT PLANS We have a Retirement Savings Plan (the “401(k) Plan”), which permits all eligible employees to defer a portion of their compensation in accordance with the Code. Under the 401(k) Plan, we may make discretionary contributions on behalf of eligible employees. For each of the three years ended December 31, 2017 , we made contributions to the 401(k) plan of $0.4 million , $0.4 million and $0.5 million , respectively. We have adopted non-qualified deferred compensation plans for the officers and members of the board of trustees. The plans allow for a deferral of a percentage of annual cash compensation and trustee fees. The plans are unfunded and payments are to be made out of the general assets of Washington REIT. The deferred compensation liability was $1.0 million and $0.9 million at December 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. In November 2005, the board of trustees approved the establishment of a SERP for the benefit of officers. This is a defined contribution plan under which, upon a participant's termination of employment from Washington REIT for any reason other than discharge for cause, the participant will be entitled to receive a benefit equal to the participant's accrued benefit times the participant's vested interest. We account for this plan in accordance with ASC 710-10 and ASC 320-10, whereby the investments are reported at fair value, and unrealized holding gains and losses are included in earnings. At December 31, 2017 and 2016 , the accrued benefit liability was $1.8 million and $1.3 million , respectively. For each of the three years ended December 31, 2017 , we recognized current service cost of $0.3 million , $0.2 million and $0.3 million , respectively. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings per Common Share | EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE We determine “Basic earnings per share” using the two-class method as our unvested restricted share awards and units have non-forfeitable rights to dividends, and are therefore considered participating securities. We compute basic earnings per share by dividing net income attributable to the controlling interest less the allocation of undistributed earnings to unvested restricted share awards and units by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. We also determine “Diluted earnings per share” as the more dilutive of the two-class method or the treasury stock method with respect to the unvested restricted share awards. We further evaluate any other potentially dilutive securities at the end of the period and adjust the basic earnings per share calculation for the impact of those securities that are dilutive. Our dilutive earnings per share calculation includes the dilutive impact of operating partnership units under the if-converted method and our share based awards with performance conditions prior to the grant date and all market condition awards under the contingently issuable method. The computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three years ended December 31, 2017 was as follows (in thousands; except per share data): Year Ended December 31, 2017 2016 2015 Numerator: Net income $ 19,612 $ 119,288 $ 89,187 Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests 56 51 553 Allocation of undistributed earnings to unvested restricted share awards and units to continuing operations (362 ) (310 ) (269 ) Adjusted net income attributable to the controlling interests $ 19,306 $ 119,029 $ 89,471 Denominator: Weighted average shares outstanding – basic 76,820 72,163 68,177 Effect of dilutive securities: Operating partnership units 9 — — Employee stock options and restricted share awards 106 176 133 Weighted average shares outstanding – diluted 76,935 72,339 68,310 Basic net income attributable to the controlling interests per common share $ 0.25 $ 1.65 $ 1.31 Diluted net income attributable to the controlling interests per common share $ 0.25 $ 1.65 $ 1.31 Dividends declared per common share $ 1.20 $ 1.20 $ 1.20 |

Segment Reporting Information, Revenue for Reportable Segment [Abstract] | |
Segment Information | SEGMENT INFORMATION We evaluate real estate performance and allocate resources by property type and have three reportable segments: office, multifamily, and retail. Office properties provide office space for various types of businesses and professions. Multifamily properties provide rental housing for individuals and families throughout the Washington metro region. Retail properties are typically grocery store anchored neighborhood centers that include other small shop tenants or regional power centers with several junior box tenants. Real estate rental revenue as a percentage of the total for each of the reportable operating segments in continuing operations for the three years ended December 31, 2017 was as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2017 2016 2015 Office 52 % 53 % 57 % Multifamily 29 % 27 % 22 % Retail 19 % 20 % 21 % The percentage of income producing real estate assets classified as held and used, at cost, for each of the reportable operating segments in continuing operations as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 was as follows: December 31, 2017 2016 Office 50 % 50 % Multifamily 33 % 33 % Retail 17 % 17 % The accounting policies of each of the segments are the same as those described in note 2. We evaluate performance based upon net operating income from the combined properties in each segment. Our reportable operating segments are consolidations of similar properties. GAAP requires that segment disclosures present the measure(s) used by the chief operating decision maker for purposes of assessing segments’ performance. Net operating income is a key measurement of our segment profit and loss. Net operating income is defined as segment real estate rental revenue less segment real estate expenses. The following tables present revenues, net operating income, capital expenditures and total assets for the three years ended December 31, 2017 from these segments, and reconciles net operating income of reportable segments to net income attributable to the controlling interests as reported (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2017 Office Retail Multifamily Corporate Consolidated Real estate rental revenue $ 167,438 $ 62,390 $ 95,250 $ — $ 325,078 Real estate expenses 62,824 15,186 37,640 — 115,650 Net operating income $ 104,614 $ 47,204 $ 57,610 $ — $ 209,428 Depreciation and amortization (112,056 ) General and administrative (22,580 ) Interest expense (47,534 ) Other income 507 Gain on sale of real estate 24,915 Real estate impairment (33,152 ) Income tax benefit 84 Net income 19,612 Less: Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests 56 Net income attributable to the controlling interests $ 19,668 Capital expenditures $ 30,407 $ 2,128 $ 27,980 $ 3,866 $ 64,381 Total assets $ 1,203,187 $ 346,580 $ 767,279 $ 42,380 $ 2,359,426 Year Ended December 31, 2016 Office Retail Multifamily Corporate and Other Consolidated Real estate rental revenue $ 165,934 $ 61,566 $ 85,764 $ — $ 313,264 Real estate expenses 64,405 15,860 34,748 — 115,013 Net operating income $ 101,529 $ 45,706 $ 51,016 $ — $ 198,251 Depreciation and amortization (108,406 ) General and administrative (19,545 ) Casualty gain 676 Acquisition costs (1,178 ) Interest expense (53,126 ) Other income 297 Gain on sale of real estate 101,704 Income tax benefit 615 Net income 119,288 Less: Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests 51 Net income attributable to the controlling interests $ 119,339 Capital expenditures $ 30,337 $ 8,821 $ 17,936 $ 920 $ 58,014 Total assets $ 1,104,589 $ 352,056 $ 762,695 $ 34,279 $ 2,253,619 Year Ended December 31, 2015 Office Retail Multifamily Corporate Consolidated Real estate rental revenue $ 174,378 $ 63,507 $ 68,542 $ — $ 306,427 Real estate expenses 67,228 15,606 29,400 — 112,234 Net operating income $ 107,150 $ 47,901 $ 39,142 $ — $ 194,193 Depreciation and amortization (108,935 ) General and administrative (20,123 ) Real estate impairment (5,909 ) Acquisition costs (2,056 ) Interest expense (59,546 ) Other income 709 Loss on extinguishment of debt (119 ) Gain on sale of real estate 91,107 Income tax expense (134 ) Net income 89,187 Less: Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests 553 Net income attributable to the controlling interests $ 89,740 Capital expenditures $ 29,745 $ 3,897 $ 7,865 $ 2,129 $ 43,636 Total assets $ 1,265,570 $ 354,123 $ 529,773 $ 41,702 $ 2,191,168 |

Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract] | |
Shareholders' Equity | SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY During the second quarter of 2016, we issued approximately 5.3 million common shares, including 0.7 million shares issued pursuant to the underwriters' over-allotment option, at a price to the public of $28.20 per share. We received net proceeds of approximately $143.4 million . During the second quarter of 2015, we entered into four separate equity distribution agreements (collectively, the “Equity Distribution Agreements”) with each of Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, BNY Mellon Capital Markets, LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and RBC Capital Markets, LLC relating to the issuance and sale of up to $200.0 million of our common shares from time to time. Sales of our common shares are made at market prices prevailing at the time of sale. We use net proceeds from the sale of common shares under this program for general corporate purposes, including, without limitation, working capital, the acquisition, renovation, expansion, improvement, development or redevelopment of income producing properties or the repayment of debt.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation | Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of Washington REIT and our subsidiaries and entities in which Washington REIT has a controlling financial interest, including where Washington REIT has been determined to be a primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). See note 3 for additional information on the properties for which there is a noncontrolling interest. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. We have prepared the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. |
Use of Estimates in the Financial Statements | Use of Estimates in the Financial Statements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements Pronouncements Adopted In November 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Restricted Cash , which requires that restricted cash and cash equivalents be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the consolidated statements of cash flows. The new standard is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and for interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. We adopted ASU 2016-18 as of December 31, 2017. The impact of the implementation was as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2017 2016 2015 Net cash provided by operating activities (prior to adoption of ASU 2016-18) $ 130,715 $ 116,931 $ 109,426 Impact of including restricted cash with cash and cash equivalents (89 ) (2,206 ) (108 ) Net cash provided by operating activities (after adoption of ASU 2016-18) $ 130,626 $ 114,725 $ 109,318 Net cash used in investing activities (prior to adoption of ASU 2016-18) $ (192,902 ) $ (58,632 ) $ (93,018 ) Impact of including restricted cash with cash and cash equivalents (3,452 ) (4,860 ) 3,192 Net cash used in investing activities (after adoption of ASU 2016-18) $ (196,354 ) $ (63,492 ) $ (89,826 ) Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities . The purpose of this updated guidance is to better align a company’s financial reporting for hedging activities with the economic objectives of those activities. The transition guidance provides companies with the option of early adopting the new standard using a modified retrospective transition method in any interim period after issuance of the update, or alternatively requires adoption for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. We adopted the new standard as of January 1, 2018 and adoption does not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Scope of Modification Accounting, which provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. The new standard is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and for interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the new standard as of January 1, 2018 and adoption does not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments , which provides specific guidance on how cash receipts and payments should be presented and classified in the statement of cash flows for eight specific issues. The new standard is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and for interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the new standard as of January 1, 2018 and adoption does not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”), which creates a single source of revenue guidance. The new standard provides accounting guidance for all revenue arising from contracts with customers and affects all entities that enter into contracts to provide goods or services to their customers (unless the contracts are in the scope of other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requirements, such as the leasing literature). The guidance also provides a model for the measurement and recognition of gains and losses on the sale of certain nonfinancial assets, such as property and equipment, including real estate. The new standard is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and for interim periods therein. We adopted the new standard for the fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2018. We evaluated the requirements for recognition of revenue from contracts with customers and measuring gains and losses on the sale of properties in accordance with ASU 2014-09 and concluded that adoption of the new standard will not impact the amount or timing of our revenue recognition. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”) , which amends existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including by requiring lessees to recognize most leases on the balance sheet and making certain changes to lessor accounting. The new standard is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and for interim periods therein with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, for leases in which we are the lessor, the lease contract will be separated into lease and non-lease components in accordance with the provisions outlined within ASU 2014-09. The lease component of the contract will be recognized on a straight-line basis in accordance with ASU 2016-02, while the non-lease component will be recognized under the provisions of ASU 2014-09. For lease contracts with a duration of more than one year in which we are the lessee, the present value of future lease payments will be recognized on our balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability. Also, only direct leasing costs may be capitalized under the new standard, while current accounting standards allow for the capitalization of indirect leasing costs. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-02 may have on Washington REIT’s consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , which requires financial assets measured at an amortized cost basis, including trade receivables, to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The new standard is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods therein with adoption one year earlier permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the new standard may have on Washington REIT’s consolidated financial statements. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition We lease multifamily properties under operating leases with terms of generally one year or less. We lease commercial properties (our office and retail segments) under operating leases with an average term of seven years. Substantially all commercial leases contain fixed escalations or, in some instances, changes based on the Consumer Price Index, which occur at specified times during the term of the lease. We recognize rental income and rental abatements from our multifamily and commercial leases when earned on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Recognition of rental income commences when control of the leased space has been given to the tenant. We recognize sales of real estate at closing only when sufficient down payments have been obtained, possession and other attributes of ownership have been transferred to the buyer and we have no significant continuing involvement. We recognize cost reimbursement income from pass-through expenses on an accrual basis over the periods in which the expenses were incurred. Pass-through expenses are comprised of real estate taxes, operating expenses and common area maintenance costs which are reimbursed by tenants in accordance with specific allowable costs per tenant lease agreements. Parking revenues are derived from leases, monthly parking agreements and transient parking. We recognize parking revenues from leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term and other parking revenues as earned. |
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts | Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Accounts receivable primarily represents amounts accrued and unpaid from tenants in accordance with the terms of the respective leases, subject to our revenue recognition policy. We review receivables monthly and establish reserves when, in the opinion of management, collection of the receivable is doubtful. We establish reserves for tenants whose rent payment histories or financial conditions cast doubt upon the tenants’ abilities to perform under their lease obligations. When we determine the collection of a receivable to be doubtful in the same quarter that we established the receivable, we recognize the allowance for that receivable as an offset to real estate revenues. When we determine a receivable that was initially established in a prior quarter to be doubtful, we recognize the allowance as an operating expense in Real estate expenses in the consolidated statements of income. In addition to rents due currently, accounts receivable include amounts representing minimal rental income accrued on a straight-line basis to be paid by tenants over the remaining term of their respective leases. Our accounts receivable balances include $0.4 million and $2.4 million of notes receivable as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. The decrease is due to the repayment during the fourth quarter of 2017 of a note receivable acquired in 2008 with the purchase of 2445 M Street. |
Debt Issuance Costs | Debt Issuance Costs We amortize external debt issuance costs using the effective interest rate method or the straight-line method which approximates the effective interest rate method, over the estimated life of the related debt. We record debt issuance costs related to notes and mortgage notes, net of amortization, on our consolidated balance sheets as an offset to their related debt. We record debt issuance costs related to revolving lines of credit on our consolidated balance sheets with Prepaid expenses and other assets, regardless of whether a balance on the line of credit is outstanding. We record the amortization of all debt issuance costs as interest expense. |
Deferred Leasing Costs | Deferred Leasing Costs We capitalize and amortize costs associated with the successful negotiation of leases, both external commissions and internal direct costs, on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. We record the amortization of deferred leasing costs in Depreciation and amortization on the consolidated statements of income. If an applicable lease terminates prior to the expiration of its initial lease term, we write off the carrying amount of the costs to amortization expense. We capitalize and amortize against revenue leasing incentives associated with the successful negotiation of leases on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. We record the amortization of deferred leasing incentives as a reduction of revenue. If an applicable lease terminates prior to the expiration of its initial lease term, we write off the carrying amount of the costs as a reduction of revenue. |
Real Estate and Depreciation | Real Estate and Depreciation We depreciate buildings on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives ranging from 28 to 50 years. We capitalize all capital improvements associated with replacements, improvements or major repairs to real property that extend its useful life and depreciate them using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 30 years. We also capitalize costs incurred in connection with our development projects, including capitalizing interest incurred on borrowing obligations and other internal costs during periods in which qualifying expenditures have been made and activities necessary to get the development projects ready for their intended use are in progress. Capitalization of these costs begin when the activities and related expenditures commence and cease when the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use, at which time the project is placed in service and depreciation commences. In addition, we capitalize tenant leasehold improvements when certain criteria are met, including when we supervise construction and will own the improvements. We depreciate all tenant improvements over the shorter of the useful life of the improvements or the term of the related tenant lease. Real estate depreciation expense from continuing operations was $90.1 million , $84.1 million , $80.7 million during the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , respectively. We charge maintenance and repair costs that do not extend an asset’s useful life to expense as incurred. Interest expense and interest capitalized to real estate assets related to development and major renovation activities for the three years ended December 31, 2017 were as follows (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2017 2016 2015 Total interest incurred $ 48,498 $ 53,794 $ 60,204 Capitalized interest (964 ) (668 ) (658 ) Interest expense, net of capitalized interest $ 47,534 $ 53,126 $ 59,546 We recognize impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations, development assets or land held for future development, if indicators of impairment are present and the net undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount and estimated undiscounted cash flows associated with future development expenditures. If such carrying amount is in excess of the estimated undiscounted cash flows from the operation and disposal of the property, we would recognize an impairment loss equivalent to an amount required to adjust the carrying amount to its estimated fair value, calculated in accordance with current GAAP fair value provisions. Assets held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell. Acquisitions The properties we acquire typically are not businesses as defined by ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805) - Clarifying the Definition of a Business . Per this definition, a set of transferred assets and activities is not a business when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. We therefore account for such acquisitions as asset acquisitions. Acquisition costs are capitalized and identifiable assets (including physical assets and in-place leases), liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interests are measured by allocating the cost of the acquisition on a relative fair value basis. Acquisitions executed prior to our adoption of ASU 2017-01 as of January 1, 2017 were accounted for as business combinations. We determine the fair values of acquired buildings on an “as-if-vacant” basis considering a variety of factors, including the replacement cost of the property, estimated rental and absorption rates, estimated future cash flows and valuation assumptions consistent with current market conditions. We determine the fair value of land acquired based on comparisons to similar properties that have been recently marketed for sale or sold. The fair value of in-place leases consists of the following components – (a) the estimated cost to us to replace the leases, including foregone rents during the period of finding a new tenant and foregone recovery of tenant pass-throughs (referred to as “absorption cost”); (b) the estimated cost of tenant improvements, and other direct costs associated with obtaining a new tenant (referred to as “tenant origination cost”); (c) estimated leasing commissions associated with obtaining a new tenant (referred to as “leasing commissions”); (d) the above/at/below market cash flow of the leases, determined by comparing the projected cash flows of the leases in place, including consideration of renewal options, to projected cash flows of comparable market-rate leases (referred to as “net lease intangible”); and (e) the value, if any, of customer relationships, determined based on our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and our overall relationship with the tenant (referred to as “customer relationship value”). We have attributed no value to customer relationships as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 . We discount the amounts used to calculate net lease intangibles using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired. We classify tenant origination costs as income producing property on our consolidated balance sheets and amortize the tenant origination costs as depreciation expense on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the underlying leases. We classify leasing commissions and absorption costs as other assets and amortize leasing commissions and absorption costs as amortization expense on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the underlying leases. We classify net lease intangible assets as other assets and amortize them on a straight-line basis as a decrease to real estate rental revenue over the remaining term of the underlying leases. We classify net lease intangible liabilities as other liabilities and amortize them on a straight-line basis as an increase to real estate rental revenue over the remaining term of the underlying leases. If any of the fair value of below market lease intangibles includes fair value associated with a renewal option, such amounts are not amortized until the renewal option is executed, else the related value is expensed at that time. Should a tenant terminate its lease, we accelerate the amortization of the unamortized portion of the tenant origination cost, leasing commissions, absorption costs and net lease intangible associated with that lease, over its new, shorter term. Balances, net of accumulated depreciation or amortization, as appropriate, of the components of the fair value of in-place leases at December 31, 2017 and 2016 were as follows (in thousands): December 31, 2017 2016 Gross Carrying Value Accumulated Amortization Net Gross Carrying Value Accumulated Amortization Net Tenant origination costs $ 66,378 $ 50,157 $ 16,221 $ 54,352 $ 44,823 $ 9,529 Leasing commissions/absorption costs 123,992 95,115 28,877 101,311 86,210 15,101 Net lease intangible assets 19,362 16,089 3,273 18,903 14,193 4,710 Net lease intangible liabilities 43,230 28,174 15,056 33,687 25,359 8,328 Below-market ground lease intangible asset 12,080 1,903 10,177 12,080 1,714 10,366 Amortization of these combined components during the three years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 and 2015 was as follows (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2017 2016 2015 Depreciation and amortization expense $ 14,911 $ 17,655 $ 22,244 Real estate rental revenue (increase) decrease, net (922 ) 410 538 $ 13,989 $ 18,065 $ 22,782 Amortization of these combined components over the next five years is projected to be as follows (in thousands): Depreciation and amortization expense Real estate rental revenue, net increase Total 2018 $ 13,456 $ (1,574 ) $ 11,882 2019 6,485 (1,633 ) 4,852 2020 4,905 (1,335 ) 3,570 2021 3,729 (1,191 ) 2,538 2022 3,058 (1,155 ) 1,903 Thereafter 23,642 (4,895 ) 18,747 |
Internal Use Software, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Software Developed for Internal Use The costs of software developed for internal use that qualify for capitalization are included with Prepaid expenses and other assets on our consolidated balance sheets. These capitalized costs include external direct costs utilized in developing or obtaining the applications and expenses for employees who are directly associated with the development of the applications. Capitalization of such costs begins when the preliminary project stage is complete and continues until the project is substantially complete and is ready for its intended purpose. Completed projects are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. |
Discontinued Operations | Discontinued Operations We classify properties as held for sale when they meet the necessary criteria, which include: (a) senior management commits to and actively embarks upon a plan to sell the assets, (b) the sale is expected to be completed within one year under terms usual and customary for such sales and (c) 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. We generally consider that a property has met these criteria when a sale of the property has been approved by the board of trustees, or a committee with authorization from the board of trustees, there are no known significant contingencies related to the sale and management believes it is probable that the sale will be completed within one year. Depreciation on these properties is discontinued at the time they are classified as held for sale, but operating revenues, operating expenses and interest expense continue to be recognized until the date of sale. Revenues and expenses of properties that are either sold or classified as held for sale are presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the consolidated statements of income if the dispositions represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on our operations and financial results. Interest on debt that can be identified as specifically attributed to these properties is included in discontinued operations. If the dispositions do not represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on our operations and financial results, then the revenues and expenses of the properties that are classified as sold or held for sale are presented as continuing operations in the consolidated statements of income for all periods presented. |
Segments | Segments We evaluate performance based upon net operating income from the combined properties in each segment. Our reportable operating segments are consolidations of similar properties. GAAP requires that segment disclosures present the measure(s) used by the chief operating decision maker for purposes of assessing segments’ performance. Net operating income is a key measurement of our segment profit and loss. Net operating income is defined as segment real estate rental revenue less segment real estate expenses. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash and commercial paper with original maturities of 90 days or less. We maintain cash deposits with financial institutions that at times exceed applicable insurance limits. We reduce this risk by maintaining such deposits with high quality financial institutions that management believes are credit-worthy. |
Restricted Cash | Restricted Cash Restricted cash includes funds escrowed for tenant security deposits, real estate tax, insurance and mortgage escrows and escrow deposits required by lenders on certain of our properties to be used for future building renovations or tenant improvements. |
Earnings Per Common Share | Earnings Per Common Share We determine “Basic earnings per share” using the two-class method as our unvested restricted share awards and units have non-forfeitable rights to dividends, and are therefore considered participating securities. We compute basic earnings per share by dividing net income attributable to the controlling interest less the allocation of undistributed earnings to unvested restricted share awards and units by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. We also determine “Diluted earnings per share” under the two-class method with respect to the unvested restricted share awards. We further evaluate any other potentially dilutive securities at the end of the period and adjust the basic earnings per share calculation for the impact of those securities that are dilutive. Our dilutive earnings per share calculation includes the dilutive impact of employee stock options based on the treasury stock method and our performance share units under the contingently issuable method. |
Stock Based Compensation | Stock Based Compensation We currently maintain equity based compensation plans for trustees, officers and employees. We recognize compensation expense for service-based share awards ratably over the period from the service inception date through the vesting period based on the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. If an award's service inception date precedes the grant date, we initially measure compensation expense for awards with performance conditions at fair value at the service inception date based on probability of payout, and we remeasure compensation expense at subsequent reporting dates until all of the award’s key terms and conditions are known and the grant date is established. We amortize awards with performance conditions using the graded expense method. We measure compensation expense for awards with market conditions based on the grant date fair value, as determined using a Monte Carlo simulation, and we amortize the expense ratably over the requisite service period, regardless of whether the market conditions are achieved and the awards ultimately vest. Compensation expense for the trustee grants, which fully vest immediately, is fully recognized upon issuance based upon the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. |
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes | Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes We can recognize a tax benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that a particular tax position will be sustained upon examination or audit. To the extent that the “more likely than not” standard has been satisfied, the benefit associated with a tax position is measured as the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being recognized upon settlement. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, we did not have any unrecognized tax benefits. We do not believe that there will be any material changes to our uncertain tax positions over the next twelve months. We are subject to federal income tax as well as income tax of the states of Maryland and Virginia, and the District of Columbia. However, as a REIT, we generally are not subject to income tax on our taxable income to the extent it is distributed as dividends to our shareholders. Tax returns filed for 2013 through 2017 tax years are subject to examination by taxing authorities. We classify interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, in our financial statements as a component of general and administrative expense. |
Derivatives | Derivatives We borrow funds at a combination of fixed and variable rates. Borrowings under our revolving credit facility and term loans bear interest at variable rates. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to minimize interest rate fluctuation on long-term indebtedness and limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows. To achieve these objectives, from time to time, we may enter into interest rate hedge contracts such as collars, swaps, caps and treasury lock agreements in order to mitigate our interest rate risk with respect to various debt instruments. We generally do not hold or issue these derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes. The interest rate swaps we enter into are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. We assess effectiveness of our cash flow hedges both at inception and on an ongoing basis. The effective portion of changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps associated with our cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Our cash flow hedges become ineffective if critical terms of the hedging instrument and the debt instrument such as notional amounts, settlement dates, reset dates, calculation period and LIBOR do not perfectly match. In addition, we evaluate the default risk of the counterparty by monitoring the creditworthiness of the counterparty. When ineffectiveness of a cash flow hedge exists, the ineffective portion of changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps associated with our cash flow hedges is recognized in earnings in the period affected. |
