Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Overview	Overview Organization and Business Description Douglas Emmett, Inc. is a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed REIT. We are one of the largest owners and operators of high-quality office and multifamily properties in Los Angeles County, California and Honolulu, Hawaii. We focus on owning, acquiring, developing and managing a substantial share of top-tier office properties and premier multifamily communities in neighborhoods that possess significant supply constraints, high-end executive housing and key lifestyle amenities. Through our interest in our Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries, our consolidated JVs and our unconsolidated Funds, we own or partially own, acquire, develop and manage real estate, consisting primarily of office and multifamily properties in Los Angeles, California and Honolulu, Hawaii. The terms "us," "we" and "our" as used in these financial statements refer to Douglas Emmett, Inc. and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. As of March 31, 2017 , our portfolio of properties consisted of: Consolidated Portfolio (1) Total Portfolio (1) Office (2) Wholly-owned properties 52 52 JV properties 7 7 Fund properties — 8 59 67 Multifamily Wholly-owned properties 10 10 Total 69 77 __________________________________________________ (1) In addition to our properties, we own fee interests in two parcels of land subject to ground leases from which we earn ground rent income. (2) Office portfolio includes ancillary retail space. Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements are the consolidated financial statements of Douglas Emmett, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including our Operating Partnership and our consolidated JVs. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in our consolidated financial statements. Our Operating Partnership and consolidated JVs are VIEs and we are the primary beneficiary. As of March 31, 2017 , the total consolidated assets, liabilities and equity of the VIEs was $7.59 billion (of which $7.18 billion related to investment in real estate), $4.64 billion and $2.95 billion (of which $1.09 billion related to noncontrolling interest), respectively. The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP may have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make their presentation not misleading. The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements include, in our opinion, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial information set forth therein. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017 . The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the notes thereto. References in this report to the number of properties, square footage, per square footage amounts, apartment units and geography, are outside the scope of our independent registered public accounting firm’s review of our financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.

Summary Of Significant Accounti

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies We adopted ASU No. 2017-01, "Clarifying the Definition of a Business" in the first quarter of 2017. The ASU changes our accounting policy "Investment in Real Estate" disclosed in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The ASU will impact our future financial position, results of operations and disclosures because we expect that our property acquisitions will be accounted for as asset purchases, and the related acquisition expenses will be capitalized as part of the respective asset. We historically accounted for our property acquisitions as business combinations and expensed the related acquisition expenses as incurred. See "Recently issued and adopted accounting literature below". We have not made any other changes during the period covered by this Report to our significant accounting policies disclosed in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Income Taxes We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code. Provided that we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we are generally not subject to corporate-level income tax on the earnings distributed currently to our stockholders that we derive from our REIT qualifying activities. We are subject to corporate-level tax on the earnings that we derive through our TRS. New Accounting Pronouncements Changes to GAAP are established by the FASB in the form of ASUs. We consider the applicability and impact of all ASUs. Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-07, "Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting" which amends "Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures" (Topic 323). The ASU simplifies the transition to the equity method of accounting by eliminating the requirement that an entity retroactively adopt the equity method of accounting if an investment qualifies for equity method accounting as a result of an increase in the level of ownership or degree of influence. The ASU requires that the equity method investor add the cost of acquiring the additional interest in the investee to the current basis of the investor’s previously held interest and adopt the equity method of accounting as of the date the investment qualifies for equity method accounting. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those years, which for us would be the first quarter of 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively. We adopted the ASU in the first quarter of 2017 and it did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or disclosures. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" which amends "Compensation-Stock Compensation" (Topic 718). This ASU simplifies the accounting for several aspects of share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. Some of the areas for simplification apply only to nonpublic entities. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those years, which for us would be the first quarter of 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The ASU amendments are applied on a prospective or retrospective basis depending on the specific amendment. We adopted the ASU in the first quarter of 2017 and it did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or disclosures. In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-17, "Interests Held Through Related Parties That Are Under Common Control". The ASU provides guidance regarding the consolidation of VIEs. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those years, which for us would be the first quarter of 2017. The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively. We adopted the ASU in the first quarter of 2017 and it did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or disclosures. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, "Clarifying the Definition of a Business". The ASU provides guidance regarding the definition of a business with the objective of providing guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those years, which for us would be the first quarter of 2018. The ASU should be applied prospectively and early adoption is permitted. We adopted the ASU in the first quarter of 2017 and it did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or disclosures upon adoption. The ASU will impact our future financial position, results of operations and disclosures because we expect that our property acquisitions will be accounted for as asset purchases, and the related acquisition expenses will be capitalized as part of the respective asset. We historically accounted for our property acquisitions as business combinations and expensed the related acquisition expenses as incurred. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases" (Topic 842). The main difference between previous GAAP and Topic 842 is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under prevailing GAAP. The accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under prevailing GAAP. For example, the vast majority of operating leases will remain classified as operating leases, and lessors will continue to recognize lease income for those leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Topic 842 requires an entity to separate the lease components from the non-lease components (for example, maintenance services or other activities that transfer a good or service to the customer) in a contract. Only the lease components must be accounted for in accordance with Topic 842. The consideration in the contract is allocated to the lease and non-lease components on a relative standalone price basis (for lessees) or in accordance with the allocation guidance in Topic 606 (for lessors). Topic 842 defines initial direct costs of a lease (which may be capitalized) as costs that would not have been incurred had the lease not been executed. Costs to negotiate a lease that would have been incurred regardless of whether the lease was executed, such as fixed employee salaries, are not considered to be initial direct costs, and may not be capitalized. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those years, which for us would be the first quarter of 2019, and early adoption is permitted. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (Topic 606), which provides guidance for the accounting of revenue from contracts with customers. The guidance supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, "Revenue Recognition", and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, "Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)" which amends Topic 606. The ASU clarifies the guidance for principal versus agent considerations. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, "Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing" which amends Topic 606. The ASU provides guidance for identifying performance obligations and licensing. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, "Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients" which amends Topic 606. The ASU provides guidance for a variety of revenue recognition related topics. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, which defers the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 (Topic 606) by one year. In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-05 "Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets" (Subtopic 610-20). The ASU provides guidance for recognizing gains and losses from the transfer of nonfinancial assets in contracts with noncustomers. As a result, the various ASUs listed above are now effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, which for us is the first quarter of 2018. Earlier application is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within those years, which for us is the first quarter of 2017. The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively. We are not planning on early adopting the ASU and we expect to use the modified retrospective method of adoption. We are currently evaluating the potential impact to our accounting, particularly with respect to our tenant recovery revenues, and whether such changes will be material to our future results of operations and financial position. As noted above, ASU 2016-02 "Leases" requires that non-lease components such as tenant recovery revenues be accounted for in accordance with ASU 2014-09, which means that the classification and timing of our tenant recovery revenues could be impacted. The FASB has not issued any other ASUs during 2017 that we expect to be applicable and have a material impact on our future financial position, results of operations or disclosures.

The purchase accounting for our 2016 acquisitions is subject to adjustment within twelve months of the acquisition date because they were accounted for as business combinations. 2017 First Quarter Acquisitions We did not acquire any properties during the first quarter of 2017. See Note 17 regarding our purchase of two Class A office properties in April 2017. 2016 First Quarter Acquisitions Westwood Portfolio Acquisition On February 29, 2016 (Acquisition Date), a consolidated JV which we manage and in which we own an equity interest acquired four Class A office properties located in Westwood, California (Westwood Portfolio) for a contract price of $1.34 billion . As of the Acquisition Date, we had contributed sixty -percent of the equity to the JV, which was subsequently reduced to thirty -percent on May 31, 2016 (Sell Down Date) when we sold half of our equity interest to a third party investor.

(2) Reflects our sale of thirty -percent of the equity in the JV on the Sell Down Date, presented as of the Acquisition Date, treated as in-substance real estate, which reduced our ownership interest in the JV to thirty -percent. We sold the interest for the $240.0 million we contributed plus an additional $1.1 million to compensate us for our costs of holding the investment. We recognized a gain on the sale of $1.1 million . We used the proceeds from the sale to pay down the balance owed on our revolving credit facility. (3) As of the Acquisition Date, the weighted average remaining life of the acquired above-and below-market leases was approximately 4.4 years . (4) The difference between the contract and purchase price related to credits received for prorations and similar matters.

(7) Reflects 100% (not the Company's pro rata share) of a $580.0 million interest-only non-recourse loan, net of deferred loan costs of $11.2 million incurred to secure the loan. The loan has a seven -year term and is secured by the Westwood Portfolio. Interest on the loan is floating at LIBOR + 1.40% , which has been effectively fixed at 2.37% per annum for five years through interest rate swaps. See Note 7 for information regarding our consolidated debt.

Noncontrolling interests in our Operating Partnership consist of OP Units and fully-vested LTIP Units, and represented approximately 14% of our Operating Partnership's total interests as of March 31, 2017 when we and our Operating Partnership had 153.1 million shares of common stock and 25.3 million OP Units and fully-vested LTIP Units outstanding. A share of our common stock, an OP Unit and an LTIP Unit (once vested and booked up) have essentially the same economic characteristics, sharing equally in the distributions from our Operating Partnership. Investors who own OP Units have the right to cause our Operating Partnership to redeem their OP Units for an amount of cash per unit equal to the market value of one share of our common stock at the date of redemption, or, at our election, exchange their OP Units for shares of our common stock on a one-for-one b asis. LTIP Units have been granted to our key employees and non-employee directors as part of their compensation. These awards generally vest over the service period and once vested can generally be converted to OP Units.

Equity Compensation On June 2, 2016, the Douglas Emmett 2016 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan ("2016 Plan") became effective after receiving stockholder approval, superseding our prior plan, the Douglas Emmett 2006 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan ("2006 Plan"), both of which allow for awards to our directors, officers, employees and consultants. The key terms of the two plans are substantially identical, except for the date of expiration, the number of shares authorized for grants and various technical provisions. Grants after June 2, 2016 were awarded under the 2016 Plan, while grants prior to that date were awarded under the 2006 Plan (grants under the 2006 Plan remain outstanding according to their terms). Both plans are administered by the compensation committee of our board of directors. Total net stock-based compensation expense was $2.7 million and $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. These amounts are net of capitalized stock-based compensation of $228 thousand and $217 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was $102.1 million and $1.1 million , respectively.

We calculate diluted EPS by dividing the net income attributable to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive instruments outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. We account for unvested LTIP awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends as participating securities and include these securities in the computation of basic and diluted EPS using the two-class method.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Fair Value of Financial Instruments Our estimates of the fair value of financial instruments were determined using available market information and widely used valuation methods. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and determine an estimated fair value. The use of different market assumptions or valuation methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair values. The FASB fair value framework hierarchy distinguishes between assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity, and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market-based inputs. The hierarchy is as follows: Level 1 - inputs utilize unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 - inputs are observable either directly or indirectly for similar assets and liabilities in active markets. Level 3 - inputs are unobservable assumptions generated by the reporting entity As of March 31, 2017 , we did not have any fair value estimates of financial instruments using Level 3 inputs. Financial instruments disclosed at fair value Short term financial instruments: The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, tenant receivables, revolving credit line, interest payable, accounts payable, security deposits and dividends payable approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Secured notes payable: See Note 7 for the details of our secured notes payable. We estimate the fair value of our secured notes payable, which includes the secured notes payable of our consolidated JVs, by calculating the credit-adjusted present value of the principal and interest payments for each secured note payable. The calculation incorporates observable market interest rates which we consider to be Level 2 inputs, assumes that the loans will be outstanding through maturity, and excludes any maturity extension options. The table below presents (in thousands) the estimated fair value of our secured notes payable: Secured Notes Payable: March 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Fair value $ 4,418,661 $ 4,429,224 Carrying value $ 4,402,939 $ 4,408,083 Financial instruments measured at fair value Derivative instruments: See Note 9 for the details of our derivatives. We present our derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value, on a gross basis, excluding accrued interest. We estimate the fair value of our derivative instruments by calculating the credit-adjusted present value of the expected future cash flows of each derivative. The calculation incorporates the contractual terms of the derivatives, observable market interest rates which we consider to be Level 2 inputs, and credit risk adjustments to reflect the counterparty's as well as our own nonperformance risk. Our derivatives are not subject to master netting arrangements. The table below presents (in thousands) the estimated fair value of our derivatives: March 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Derivative Assets: Fair value - consolidated derivatives (1) $ 41,234 $ 35,656 Fair value - unconsolidated Funds' derivatives (2) $ 3,840 $ 3,605 Derivative Liabilities: Fair value - consolidated derivatives (1) $ 2,600 $ 6,830 Fair value - unconsolidated Funds' derivatives (2) $ — $ — ____________________________________________________ (1) Consolidated derivatives, which include 100% , not our pro-rata share, of our consolidated JVs' derivatives, are included in interest rate contracts in our consolidated balance sheet. The fair value excludes accrued interest which is included in interest payable in the consolidated balance sheet. (2) Represents 100% , not our pro-rata share, of our unconsolidated Funds' derivatives.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Reporting	Segment Reporting Segment information is prepared on the same basis that our management reviews information for operational decision-making purposes. We operate in two business segments: (i) the acquisition, development, ownership and management of office real estate and (ii) the acquisition, development, ownership and management of multifamily real estate. The services for our office segment primarily include rental of office space and other tenant services, including parking and storage space rental. The services for our multifamily segment include rental of apartments and other tenant services, including parking and storage space rental. Asset information by segment is not reported because we do not use this measure to assess performance or make decisions to allocate resources. Therefore, depreciation and amortization expense is not allocated among segments. General and administrative expenses and interest expense are not included in segment profit as our internal reporting addresses these items on a corporate level. Segment profit is not a measure of operating income or cash flows from operating activities as measured by GAAP, it is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs, and it should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Not all companies may calculate segment profit in the same manner. We consider segment profit to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it can assist both investors and management in understanding the core operations of our properties. The table below presents (in thousands) the operating activity of our reportable segments: Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 2016 Office Segment Total office revenues $ 170,348 $ 144,379 Office expenses (54,885 ) (47,883 ) Office Segment profit 115,463 96,496 Multifamily Segment Total multifamily revenues 24,133 24,193 Multifamily expenses (5,947 ) (6,031 ) Multifamily Segment profit 18,186 18,162 Total profit from all segments $ 133,649 $ 114,658 The table below (in thousands) is a reconciliation of the total profit from all segments to net income attributable to common stockholders: Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 2016 Total profit from all segments $ 133,649 $ 114,658 General and administrative (10,156 ) (8,071 ) Depreciation and amortization (67,374 ) (55,552 ) Other income 2,162 2,089 Other expenses (1,724 ) (3,004 ) Income, including depreciation, from unconsolidated real estate funds 2,177 1,586 Interest expense (36,954 ) (35,660 ) Net income 21,780 16,046 Less: Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests (2,731 ) (680 ) Net income attributable to common stockholders $ 19,049 $ 15,366

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees	Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees Legal Proceedings From time to time, we are party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Excluding ordinary, routine litigation incidental to our business, we are not currently a party to any legal proceedings that we believe would reasonably be expected to have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Concentration of Risk We are subject to credit risk with respect to our tenant receivables and deferred rent receivables related to our tenant leases. Our tenants' ability to honor the terms of their respective leases remains dependent upon economic, regulatory and social factors. We seek to minimize our credit risk from our tenant leases by (i) targeting smaller, more affluent tenants, from a diverse mix of industries, (ii) performing credit evaluations of prospective tenants and (iii) obtaining security deposits or letters of credit from our tenants. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , no tenant accounted for more than 10% of our total revenues. All of our properties, including the properties of our consolidated JVs and unconsolidated Funds, are located in Los Angeles County, California and Honolulu, Hawaii, and we are therefore susceptible to adverse economic and regulatory developments, as well as natural disasters, in those markets. We are also subject to credit risk with respect to our interest rate swap counterparties that we use to manage the risk associated with our floating rate debt. We do not post or receive collateral with respect to our swap transactions. See Note 9 for the details of our interest rate contracts. We seek to minimize our credit risk by entering into agreements with a variety of high quality counterparties with investment grade ratings. We have significant cash balances invested in a variety of short-term money market funds that are intended to preserve principal value and maintain a high degree of liquidity while providing current income. These investments are not insured against loss of principal and there is no guarantee that our investments in these funds will be redeemable at par value. We also have significant cash balances in bank accounts with high quality financial institutions with investment grade ratings. Interest bearing bank accounts at each U.S. banking institution are insured by the FDIC up to $250 thousand . Asset Retirement Obligations Conditional asset retirement obligations represent a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement is conditional on a future event that may or may not be within our control. A liability for a conditional asset retirement obligation must be recorded if the fair value of the obligation can be reasonably estimated. Environmental site assessments have identified twenty-five buildings in our Consolidated Portfolio and four buildings owned by our unconsolidated Funds which contain asbestos, and would have to be removed in compliance with applicable environmental regulations if these properties are demolished or undergo major renovations. As of March 31, 2017 , the obligations to remove the asbestos from these properties have indeterminable settlement dates, and we are unable to reasonably estimate the fair value of the associated conditional asset retirement obligation. Development Contracts During the first quarter of 2016, we commenced building an additional 475 apartments (net of existing apartments to be removed) at our Moanalua Hillside Apartments in Honolulu, Hawaii. The $120.0 million estimated cost of the new apartments does not include the cost of the land which we already owned before beginning the project. We also plan to invest additional capital to upgrade the existing apartments, improve the parking and landscaping, build a new leasing and management office, and construct a new recreation and fitness facility with a new pool. In West Los Angeles, we plan to build a high-rise apartment building with 376 apartments. We expect the cost of the development to be approximately $120.0 million to $140.0 million , which does not include the cost of the land or the existing underground parking garage, both of which we owned before beginning the project. As of March 31, 2017 , we had an aggregate remaining contractual commitment for these development projects of $94.1 million . Other Contracts As of March 31, 2017 , we had an aggregate remaining contractual commitment for capital expenditure projects and repositionings was approximately $8.8 million . Guarantees We made certain environmental and other limited indemnities and guarantees covering customary non-recourse carve- outs for our unconsolidated Funds' debt. We also guaranteed the related swaps. Our Funds have agreed to indemnify us for any amounts that we would be required to pay under these agreements. As of March 31, 2017 , all of the obligations under the related debt and swap agreements have been performed in accordance with the terms of those agreements. The table below summarizes our Funds' debt as of March 31, 2017 . The amounts represent 100% (not our pro-rata share) of amounts related to our Funds: Fund (1) Loan Maturity Date Principal Balance (in millions) Variable Interest Rate Swap Fixed Interest Rate Swap Maturity Date Fund X (2) 5/1/2018 $ 325.0 LIBOR + 1.75% 2.35% 5/1/2017 Partnership X (3) 3/1/2023 110.0 LIBOR + 1.40% 2.30% 3/1/2021 $ 435.0 ___________________________________________________ (1) See Note 5 for more information regarding our unconsolidated Funds. (2) Floating rate term loan, swapped to fixed, which is secured by six properties and requires monthly payments of interest only, with the outstanding principal due upon maturity. As of March 31, 2017 , assuming a zero-percent LIBOR interest rate during the remaining life of the swap, the maximum future payments under the swap agreement were $0.2 million . (3) Floating rate term loan, swapped to fixed, which is secured by two properties and requires monthly payments of interest only, with the outstanding principal due upon maturity. As of March 31, 2017 , assuming a zero-percent LIBOR interest rate during the remaining life of the swap, the maximum future payments under the swap agreement were $3.9 million .

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Subsequent Events On April 25, 2017, a consolidated joint venture that we manage and in which we own a twenty -percent interest acquired two Class A office properties in downtown Santa Monica totaling approximately 293,000 square feet for a combined purchase price of $352.8 million . The properties are located at 1299 Ocean Avenue and 429 Santa Monica Blvd. The joint venture financed a portion of the purchase price with a $142 million secured, non–recourse, interest only loan that matures in July 2019 and bears interest at LIBOR + 1.55% . During April, 2017, we sold approximately 1.1 million shares of our common stock under our ATM program for net proceeds of $43.9 million after commissions.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements are the consolidated financial statements of Douglas Emmett, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including our Operating Partnership and our consolidated JVs. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in our consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code. Provided that we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we are generally not subject to corporate-level income tax on the earnings distributed currently to our stockholders that we derive from our REIT qualifying activities. We are subject to corporate-level tax on the earnings that we derive through our TRS.
New Accounting Pronouncements	New Accounting Pronouncements Changes to GAAP are established by the FASB in the form of ASUs. We consider the applicability and impact of all ASUs. Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-07, "Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting" which amends "Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures" (Topic 323). The ASU simplifies the transition to the equity method of accounting by eliminating the requirement that an entity retroactively adopt the equity method of accounting if an investment qualifies for equity method accounting as a result of an increase in the level of ownership or degree of influence. The ASU requires that the equity method investor add the cost of acquiring the additional interest in the investee to the current basis of the investor’s previously held interest and adopt the equity method of accounting as of the date the investment qualifies for equity method accounting. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those years, which for us would be the first quarter of 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively. We adopted the ASU in the first quarter of 2017 and it did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or disclosures. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" which amends "Compensation-Stock Compensation" (Topic 718). This ASU simplifies the accounting for several aspects of share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. Some of the areas for simplification apply only to nonpublic entities. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those years, which for us would be the first quarter of 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The ASU amendments are applied on a prospective or retrospective basis depending on the specific amendment. We adopted the ASU in the first quarter of 2017 and it did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or disclosures. In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-17, "Interests Held Through Related Parties That Are Under Common Control". The ASU provides guidance regarding the consolidation of VIEs. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those years, which for us would be the first quarter of 2017. The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively. We adopted the ASU in the first quarter of 2017 and it did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or disclosures. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, "Clarifying the Definition of a Business". The ASU provides guidance regarding the definition of a business with the objective of providing guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those years, which for us would be the first quarter of 2018. The ASU should be applied prospectively and early adoption is permitted. We adopted the ASU in the first quarter of 2017 and it did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or disclosures upon adoption. The ASU will impact our future financial position, results of operations and disclosures because we expect that our property acquisitions will be accounted for as asset purchases, and the related acquisition expenses will be capitalized as part of the respective asset. We historically accounted for our property acquisitions as business combinations and expensed the related acquisition expenses as incurred. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases" (Topic 842). The main difference between previous GAAP and Topic 842 is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under prevailing GAAP. The accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under prevailing GAAP. For example, the vast majority of operating leases will remain classified as operating leases, and lessors will continue to recognize lease income for those leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Topic 842 requires an entity to separate the lease components from the non-lease components (for example, maintenance services or other activities that transfer a good or service to the customer) in a contract. Only the lease components must be accounted for in accordance with Topic 842. The consideration in the contract is allocated to the lease and non-lease components on a relative standalone price basis (for lessees) or in accordance with the allocation guidance in Topic 606 (for lessors). Topic 842 defines initial direct costs of a lease (which may be capitalized) as costs that would not have been incurred had the lease not been executed. Costs to negotiate a lease that would have been incurred regardless of whether the lease was executed, such as fixed employee salaries, are not considered to be initial direct costs, and may not be capitalized. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those years, which for us would be the first quarter of 2019, and early adoption is permitted. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (Topic 606), which provides guidance for the accounting of revenue from contracts with customers. The guidance supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, "Revenue Recognition", and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, "Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)" which amends Topic 606. The ASU clarifies the guidance for principal versus agent considerations. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, "Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing" which amends Topic 606. The ASU provides guidance for identifying performance obligations and licensing. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, "Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients" which amends Topic 606. The ASU provides guidance for a variety of revenue recognition related topics. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, which defers the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 (Topic 606) by one year. In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-05 "Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets" (Subtopic 610-20). The ASU provides guidance for recognizing gains and losses from the transfer of nonfinancial assets in contracts with noncustomers. As a result, the various ASUs listed above are now effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, which for us is the first quarter of 2018. Earlier application is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within those years, which for us is the first quarter of 2017. The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively. We are not planning on early adopting the ASU and we expect to use the modified retrospective method of adoption. We are currently evaluating the potential impact to our accounting, particularly with respect to our tenant recovery revenues, and whether such changes will be material to our future results of operations and financial position. As noted above, ASU 2016-02 "Leases" requires that non-lease components such as tenant recovery revenues be accounted for in accordance with ASU 2014-09, which means that the classification and timing of our tenant recovery revenues could be impacted. The FASB has not issued any other ASUs during 2017 that we expect to be applicable and have a material impact on our future financial position, results of operations or disclosures.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Fair Value of Financial Instruments Our estimates of the fair value of financial instruments were determined using available market information and widely used valuation methods. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and determine an estimated fair value. The use of different market assumptions or valuation methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair values. The FASB fair value framework hierarchy distinguishes between assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity, and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market-based inputs. The hierarchy is as follows: Level 1 - inputs utilize unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 - inputs are observable either directly or indirectly for similar assets and liabilities in active markets. Level 3 - inputs are unobservable assumptions generated by the reporting entity
