Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Nature of Business | NATURE OF BUSINESS Washington Real Estate Investment Trust (“WashREIT”), 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 portfolio of multifamily and commercial (office and retail) properties. Federal Income Taxes We believe that we qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and intend to continue to qualify as such. To maintain our status as a REIT, we are, among other things, required to distribute 90% of our REIT taxable income (determined before the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains 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. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentations | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATIONS Significant Accounting Policies We have prepared our consolidated financial statements using the accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of WashREIT, our majority-owned subsidiaries and entities in which WashREIT has a controlling interest. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. We have prepared the accompanying unaudited financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In addition, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented have been included. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Within these notes to the financial statements, we refer to the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 as the “2021 Quarter” and the “2020 Quarter,” respectively. Restricted Cash Restricted cash includes funds held in escrow for tenant security deposits. Use of Estimates in the Financial Statements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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. |

Real Estate [Abstract] | |
Real Estate | REAL ESTATE Development/Redevelopment We have properties under development/redevelopment and held for current or future development. As of March 31, 2021, we have invested $28.9 million, including the cost of acquired land, in a multifamily development adjacent to Riverside Apartments. In addition, in our multifamily and office segments, we continue to capitalize qualifying costs on several other projects with minor development activity necessary to ready each project for its intended use. We placed the remainder of the Trove development costs into service during the 2021 Quarter. 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 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 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. We did not sell or classify any properties as held for sale during the 2021 Quarter. We sold our interests in the following properties during 2020: Disposition Date Property Name Property Type Rentable Square Feet Contract Sales Price (Loss) Gain on Sale April 21, 2020 John Marshall II Office 223,000 $ 57,000 $ (6,855) December 2, 2020 Monument II Office 207,000 53,000 (8,595) December 17, 2020 1227 25th Street NW Office 135,000 53,500 1,125 Total 2020 565,000 $ 163,500 $ (14,325) We have fully transferred control of the assets associated with these disposed properties and do not have continuing involvement in their operations. As of March 31, 2021, we assessed certain properties for impairment and did not recognize any impairment charges during the 2021 Quarter. We applied reasonable estimates and judgments in evaluating each of the properties as of March 31, 2021. Should external or internal circumstances change requiring the need to shorten holding periods or adjust future estimated cash flows from our properties, we could be required to record impairment charges in the future. |

Unsecured Line of Credit Payable | |
Debt Instrument [Line Items] | |
Unsecured Line of Credit Payable and Notes Payable | UNSECURED LINE OF CREDIT PAYABLE During the first quarter of 2018, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) which provides for a $700.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”), the continuation of an existing $150.0 million unsecured term loan (“2015 Term Loan”) and an additional $250.0 million unsecured term loan (“2018 Term Loan”). In the fourth quarter of 2020, we repaid all $150.0 million of borrowings on the 2015 Term Loan. The Revolving Credit Facility has a four-year term ending in March 2022, with two six-month extension options. The Credit Agreement has an accordion feature that allows us to increase the aggregate facility to $1.5 billion, subject to the lenders’ agreement to provide additional revolving loan commitments or term loans. The Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at a rate of either one month LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 0.775% to 1.55% or the base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.0% to 0.55% (in each case depending upon WashREIT’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 LIBOR market index rate plus 1.0%. In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility requires the payment of a facility fee ranging from 0.10% to 0.30% (depending on WashREIT’s credit rating) on the $700.0 million committed revolving loan capacity, without regard to usage. As of March 31, 2021, the interest rate on the Revolving Credit Facility is one month LIBOR plus 1.00%, the one month LIBOR is 0.11% and the facility fee is 0.20%. All outstanding advances for the Revolving Credit Facility are due and payable upon maturity in March 2022, 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. The 2018 Term Loan increases and replaces the $150.0 million unsecured term loan, initially entered into on July 22, 2016 (“2016 Term Loan”), that was scheduled to mature in July 2023. The 2018 Term Loan is scheduled to mature in July 2023 and bears interest at a rate of either one month LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 0.85% to 1.75% or the base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.0% to 0.75% (in each case depending upon WashREIT’s credit rating). We used the $100.0 million of additional proceeds from the 2018 Term Loan primarily to repay outstanding borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility. We had previously used interest rate derivatives to effectively fix the interest rate of the 2016 Term Loan. These interest rate derivatives now effectively fix the interest rate on a $150.0 million portion of the 2018 Term Loan at 2.31%. In March 2018, we entered into interest rate derivatives that commenced on June 29, 2018 to effectively fix the interest rate on the remaining $100.0 million of the 2018 Term Loan at 3.71%. The 2018 Term Loan has an all-in fixed interest rate of 2.87%. The amount of the Revolving Credit Facility’s unsecured line of credit unused and available at March 31, 2021 is as follows (in thousands): Committed capacity $ 700,000 Borrowings outstanding (33,000) Unused and available $ 667,000 We executed borrowings and repayments on the Revolving Credit Facility during the 2021 Quarter as follows (in thousands): Balance at December 31, 2020 $ 42,000 Borrowings 27,000 Repayments (36,000) Balance at March 31, 2021 $ 33,000 |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivative Instruments | DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS 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 $150.0 million 2016 Term Loan to an all-in fixed interest rate of 2.86% starting on March 31, 2017 and extending until the scheduled maturity of the 2016 Term Loan on July 21, 2023. On March 29, 2018, we entered into the $250.0 million 2018 Term Loan maturing on July 21, 2023, which increased and replaced the 2016 Term Loan. The interest rate swap arrangements that had effectively fixed the 2016 Term Loan then effectively fix the interest rate on a $150.0 million portion of the 2018 Term Loan at 2.31%. On March 29, 2018, we entered into four interest rate swap arrangements with a total notional amount of $100.0 million to effectively fix the interest rate on the remaining $100.0 million of the 2018 Term Loan at 3.71%, that commenced on June 29, 2018 and extending until the maturity of the 2018 Term Loan on July 21, 2023. The $250.0 million 2018 Term Loan has an all-in fixed interest rate of 2.87%. In November 2019, we entered into four forward interest rate swap arrangements, each effective as of April 1, 2020 (“2020 Forward Swaps”) with a total notional amount of $200.0 million to reduce our exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest rates on future fixed-rate debt to replace all $250.0 million of our 4.95% 10-year unsecured notes that were scheduled to mature in October 2020. In April 2020, we used borrowings from our Revolving Credit Facility to prepay all $250.0 million of our 4.95% 10-year unsecured notes without penalty. In September 2020, in conjunction with the entry into the note purchase agreement to issue $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.44% senior unsecured 10-year notes payable (the “Green Bonds”), we terminated the 2020 Forward Swaps. At the time of termination, the 2020 Forward Swaps had a liability fair value of $20.4 million, which will be amortized as interest expense over the 10-year term of the Green Bonds. On October 2, 2020, we paid the $20.4 million liability associated with the termination of the 2020 Forward Swaps. 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. 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 highly effective for all periods presented. The fair values of the interest rate swaps as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, are as follows (in thousands): Fair Value Derivative Liabilities Derivative Instrument Aggregate Notional Amount Effective Date Maturity Date March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Interest rate swaps $ 150,000 March 31, 2017 July 21, 2023 $ (3,263) $ (4,009) Interest rate swaps 100,000 June 29, 2018 July 21, 2023 (5,411) (6,246) $ (8,674) $ (10,255) We record interest rate swaps on our consolidated balance sheets within Prepaid expenses and other assets when in a net asset position and within Accounts payable and other liabilities when in a net liability position. The interest rate swaps have been effective since inception. The net unrealized gains or losses on the effective swaps are recognized in Other comprehensive loss, as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 2020 Unrealized gain (loss) on interest rate hedges 1,580 (34,567) Amounts reported in Accumulated other comprehensive loss related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on our variable-rate debt. The gains or losses reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive loss into interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, were as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 2020 Loss reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive loss into interest expense $ 510 $ — During the next twelve months, we estimate that an additional $6.1 million will be reclassified as an increase 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 March 31, 2021, we did not have any derivatives in an asset position and the fair value of the derivative liabilities, including accrued interest, was $8.7 million. As of March 31, 2021, 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 agreements. 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 March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis are the assets held in the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”), which primarily consist of investments in mutual funds, and the interest rate swaps (see note 5). 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, Fair Value Measurement , 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 March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were as follows (in thousands): March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Fair Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fair Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: SERP $ 2,191 $ — $ 2,191 $ — $ 2,433 $ — $ 2,433 $ — Liabilities: Interest rate swaps $ (8,674) $ — $ (8,674) $ — $ (10,255) $ — $ (10,255) $ — 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 models. 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 March 31, 2021 may differ significantly from the amounts presented. The valuations of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash fall into Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy and the valuations of debt instruments fall into Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the carrying values and estimated fair values of our financial instruments were as follows (in thousands): March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Carrying Value Fair Value Carrying Value Fair Value Cash and cash equivalents $ 3,017 $ 3,017 $ 7,700 $ 7,700 Restricted cash 576 576 603 603 Line of credit 33,000 33,000 42,000 42,000 Notes payable, net 945,634 974,595 945,370 978,678 |

Stock Based Compensation | STOCK BASED COMPENSATION WashREIT maintains short-term (“STIP”) and long-term (“LTIP”) 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. Total Compensation Expense Total compensation expense recognized in the consolidated financial statements for all outstanding share based awards was $1.7 million and $1.8 million for the 2021 Quarter and 2020 Quarter, respectively. Restricted Share Awards The total fair values of restricted share awards vested was $1.0 million and $0.4 million for the 2021 Quarter and 2020 Quarter, 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 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 computations of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were as follows (in thousands, except per share data): Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 2020 Numerator: Net (loss) income $ (1,147) $ 1,719 Allocation of distributed earnings to unvested restricted share awards (139) (151) Adjusted net (loss) income $ (1,286) $ 1,568 Denominator: Weighted average shares outstanding – basic 84,413 82,086 Effect of dilutive securities: Employee restricted share awards — 189 Operating partnership units — 12 Weighted average shares outstanding – diluted 84,413 82,287 Basic net (loss) income per common share $ (0.02) $ 0.02 Diluted net (loss) income per common share $ (0.02) $ 0.02 Dividends declared per common share $ 0.30 $ 0.30 |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment Information | SEGMENT INFORMATION We evaluate real estate performance and allocate resources by property type through two reportable segments: office and multifamily. 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. We have eight retail properties that do not meet the qualitative or quantitative criteria for a reportable segment and are classified as “Corporate and other” in our segment disclosure tables. We evaluate performance based upon net operating income of 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 each segment’s performance. Net operating income is a key measurement of our segment profit and loss and is defined as real estate rental revenue less real estate expenses. The following tables present revenues, net operating income, capital expenditures and total assets for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 from these segments, and reconcile net operating income of our reportable segments to net (loss) income as reported (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 Multifamily Office Corporate and Other Consolidated Real estate rental revenue $ 36,132 $ 28,599 $ 4,902 $ 69,633 Real estate expenses 15,172 10,117 1,405 26,694 Net operating income $ 20,960 $ 18,482 $ 3,497 $ 42,939 Depreciation and amortization (29,643) General and administrative expenses (5,604) Interest expense (10,123) Other income 1,284 Net loss $ (1,147) Capital expenditures $ 3,737 $ 172 $ 130 $ 4,039 Total assets $ 1,322,738 $ 927,757 $ 129,541 $ 2,380,036 Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 Multifamily Office Corporate and Other Consolidated Real estate rental revenue $ 36,578 $ 35,670 $ 4,544 $ 76,792 Real estate expenses 13,985 13,317 1,337 28,639 Net operating income $ 22,593 $ 22,353 $ 3,207 $ 48,153 Depreciation and amortization (29,720) General and administrative expenses (6,337) Interest expense (10,845) Gain on extinguishment of debt 468 Net income $ 1,719 Capital expenditures $ 3,469 $ 7,088 $ 383 $ 10,940 Total assets $ 1,339,925 $ 1,130,013 $ 152,682 $ 2,622,620 |

LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. and Truist Securities, Inc. (f/k/a SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc.), each dated May 4, 2018 (collectively, as amended, the “Amended Equity Distribution Agreements”). Also on February 17, 2021, we entered into a separate equity distribution agreement with BTIG, LLC on the same terms as the Amended Equity Distribution Agreements (the “BTIG Equity Distribution Agreement,” together with the Amended Equity Distribution Agreements, the “Equity Distribution Agreements”). Pursuant to the Equity Distribution Agreements, we may sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate price of $550.0 million of our common shares of beneficial interest, $0.01 par value per share. Issuances of our common shares are made at market prices prevailing at the time of issuance. We may use net proceeds from the issuance of common shares under this program for general business purposes, including, without limitation, working capital, the acquisition, renovation, expansion, improvement, development or redevelopment of income producing properties or the repayment of debt. Our issuances and net proceeds on the Equity Distribution Agreements and the Original Equity Distribution Agreements, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 are as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 2020 Issuance of common shares 24 47 Weighted average price per share $ 22.06 $ 31.07 Net proceeds $ 467 $ 1,241 We have a dividend reinvestment program whereby shareholders may use their dividends and optional cash payments to purchase common shares.
