Disclosure Of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES a) Statement of compliance These consolidated financial statements of the partnership and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors of the partnership on February 4, 2020. b) Basis of presentation These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and are presented in United States (“U.S.”) Dollars rounded to the nearest million unless otherwise indicated. (i) Subsidiaries The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the partnership and its subsidiaries over which the partnership has control. Control exists when the partnership has power over its investee, has exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of its returns. The partnership considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not the partnership’s interests in the investee are sufficient to give it power over the investee. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins on the date on which the partnership obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the partnership loses control over the subsidiary. Income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during a reporting period are consolidated only for the period when the partnership has control over the subsidiary. Changes in the partnership’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in loss of control over the subsidiary are accounted for as equity transactions whereby the difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received, are recognized directly in equity and attributed to owners of the partnership. All accounts and transactions among the partnership and its subsidiaries are eliminated on consolidation. In cases where a subsidiary reports under a different accounting policy, adjustments are made to the financial statements of the subsidiary to present its financial position and results of operations in accordance with the partnership’s accounting policy. Net income and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to owners of the partnership and to non-controlling interests. Non-controlling interests in the partnership’s operating subsidiaries and properties, redeemable/exchangeable partnership units of the operating partnership (“Redeemable/Exchangeable Partnership Units”), special limited partnership units of the operating partnership (“Special LP Units”), limited partnership units of Brookfield Office Properties Exchange LP (“Exchange LP Units”), FV LTIP units of the Operating Partnership (“FV LTIP Units”) and Class A stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Brookfield Property REIT Inc. (“BPR Units”) are presented separately in equity on the consolidated balance sheets. The Redeemable/Exchangeable Partnership Units, Exchange LP Units and BPR Units have the same economic attributes as LP Units. Accordingly, the net income and components of other comprehensive income allocated to these units are equivalent to that allocated to the LP Units (on a per unit basis). Net income and the components of comprehensive income of the partnership’s operating subsidiaries and properties are generally allocated between the partnership and non-controlling equity holders based on the relative proportion of equity interests. Certain of the partnership’s subsidiaries are subject to profit sharing arrangements with affiliated entities who hold non-controlling interests that result in allocation of income on an other than proportionate basis if specified targets are met. In these circumstances, net income is allocated between the partnership and non-controlling interests based on proportionate equity interest until the attribution of profits under the agreement is no longer subject to adjustment based on future events. In the period that allocation of the subsidiary’s cumulative earnings under the profit-sharing arrangement is no longer subject to adjustment, it is recognized as a fair value loss attributable to unitholders for the period. (ii) Associates and joint ventures An associate is an entity over which the partnership has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee. The partnership is presumed to have significant influence when it holds 20 percent or more of the voting rights of an investee, unless it can be clearly demonstrated that this is not the case. The partnership does not control its associates. A joint arrangement is an arrangement in which two or more parties have joint control. Joint control is the contractually agreed upon sharing of control where decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. A joint venture is a joint arrangement where the parties that have joint control have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. None of the parties involved have unilateral control of a joint venture. The partnership accounts for its interests in associates and joint ventures using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, investment balances in an associate or joint venture are carried on the consolidated balance sheets at initial cost as adjusted for the partnership’s proportionate share of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the joint venture or associate. When an interest in an associate or joint venture is initially acquired or increases, the partnership determines its share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the investee that it has acquired, consistent with the procedure performed when acquiring control of a business. Goodwill relating to an associate or joint venture, represented as an excess of the cost of the investment over the net fair value of the partnership’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities, is included in the carrying amount of the investment. Any excess of the partnership’s share of the net fair value of the associate’s or joint venture’s identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of the investment results in a gain that is included in the partnership’s share of the associate or joint venture’s profit or loss in the period in which the investment is acquired or increases. The partnership determines at the end of each reporting period whether there exist any indications that an investment may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the partnership estimates the recoverable amount of the asset, which is the higher of (i) fair value less costs to sell and (ii) value in use. Value in use is the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from such an investment and may result in a measure which is different from fair value less costs to sell. For equity accounted investments, for which quoted market prices exist, the partnership also considers whether a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the equity instrument below its carrying value is also objective evidence of impairment. When the partnership transacts with a joint venture or an associate, any gain or loss is eliminated only to the extent of the partnership’s proportionate share and the remaining amounts are recognized in the partnership’s consolidated financial statements. Outstanding balances between the partnership and jointly controlled entities are not eliminated on the balance sheet. (iii) Joint operations A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to assets and obligations for liabilities relating to the arrangement. This usually results from direct interests in the assets and liabilities of an investee rather than through the establishment of a separate legal entity. None of the parties involved have unilateral control of a joint operation. The partnership recognizes its assets, its liabilities and its share of revenues and expenses of the joint operations in accordance with the IFRS applicable to the particular assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. When the partnership sells or contributes assets to a joint operation in which it is a joint operator, the partnership is considered to be conducting transactions with the other parties to the joint operation, and any gain or loss resulting from the transactions is recognized in the partnership’s consolidated financial statements only to the extent of the other parties’ interests in the joint operation. When the partnership purchases an asset from a joint operation in which it is a joint operator, the partnership does not recognize its share of the gain or loss until those assets are resold to a third party. c) Foreign currency translation and transactions The U.S. Dollar is the functional currency and presentation currency of the partnership. The functional currency of each of the partnership’s subsidiaries, associates, joint ventures and joint operations is determined based on their primary economic environment, the currency in which funds from financing activities are generated and the currency in which receipts from operating activities are usually retained. Subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures having a functional currency other than the U.S. Dollar translate the carrying amounts of their assets and liabilities when reporting to the partnership at the rate of exchange prevailing as of the balance sheet date, and their revenues and expenses at average exchange rates during the quarterly reporting period. Any gains or losses on foreign currency translation are recognized by the partnership in other comprehensive income. On disposition or partial disposition resulting in the loss of control of a foreign operation (i.e., any subsidiary, associate, or joint arrangement of the partnership with a functional currency other than the U.S. Dollar), the accumulated foreign currency translation relating to that foreign operation is reclassified to fair value gain or loss in net income. On partial disposal of a foreign operation in which control is retained, the proportionate share of the accumulated foreign currency translation relating to that foreign operation is reattributed to the non-controlling interests. The partnership’s foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using exchange rates as of the date of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated to the functional currency using the exchange rate prevailing as of the balance sheet date with any gain or loss recognized in net income, except for those related to monetary liabilities qualified as hedges of the partnership’s investment in foreign operations or intercompany loans with foreign operations for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future, which are included in other comprehensive income. Non-monetary assets and liabilities measured at fair value are translated at the exchange rate prevailing as of the date when the fair value was determined. Foreign currency denominated non-monetary assets and liabilities, measured at historic cost, are translated at the rate of exchange at the transaction date. d) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand and all non-restricted highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. e) Investment properties Investment properties consists of commercial properties which are principally held to earn rental income and commercial developments that are being constructed or developed for future use as commercial properties. Investment properties are measured initially at cost, or fair value if acquired in a business combination (see Note 2 (p), Business Combinations , for further discussion). The cost of commercial development properties includes direct development costs, realty taxes, borrowing costs directly attributable to the development and administrative costs, e.g., salaries and overhead that are specifically attributable to a development project. The partnership elects the fair value model for all investment properties and measures them at fair value subsequent to initial recognition on the consolidated balance sheet. As a result, it is not necessary to assess the carrying amounts of the investment properties for impairment. Substantially all of the partnership’s investment properties are valued using one of two accepted income approaches, the discounted cash flow approach or the direct capitalization approach. Under the discounted cash flow approach, cash flows for each property are forecast for an assumed holding period, generally, ten years. A capitalization rate is applied to the terminal year net operating income and an appropriate discount rate is applied to those cash flows to determine a value at the reporting date. Under the direct capitalization method, a capitalization rate is applied to estimated stabilized annual net operating income to determine value. In accordance with its policy, the partnership generally measures and records its commercial properties and developments using valuations prepared by management. However, for certain subsidiaries, the partnership relies on quarterly or annual valuations prepared by external valuation professionals. Where an external appraisal is obtained for a property that is valued using a model developed by management, the partnership compares the results of those external appraisals to its internally prepared values and reconcile significant differences when they arise. Discount and terminal capitalization rates are verified by comparing to market data, third party reports, research material and brokers opinions. Where there has been a recent market transaction for a specific property, such as an acquisition or sale of a partial interest, the partnership values the property on that basis. Borrowing costs associated with direct expenditures on properties under development or redevelopment are capitalized. Borrowing costs are also capitalized on those properties acquired specifically for redevelopment in the short-term where activities necessary to prepare them for redevelopment are in progress. The amount of borrowing costs capitalized is determined first by borrowings specific to a property where relevant, and then by applying a weighted average borrowing cost to eligible expenditures after adjusting for borrowings specific to other developments. Where borrowings are associated with specific developments, the amount capitalized is the gross borrowing costs incurred less any incidental investment income. Borrowing costs are capitalized from the commencement of the development until the date of practical completion. The capitalization of borrowing costs is suspended if there are prolonged periods when development activity is interrupted. The partnership considers practical completion to have occurred when the property is capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Generally this occurs upon completion of construction and receipt of all necessary occupancy and other material permits. Where the partnership has pre-leased space as of or prior to the start of the development and the lease requires the partnership to construct tenant improvements which enhance the value of the property, practical completion is considered to occur on completion of such improvements. Initial direct leasing costs incurred by the partnership in negotiating and arranging tenant leases are included in the cost of investment properties. f) Assets held for sale Non-current assets and groups of assets and liabilities which comprise disposal groups are presented as assets held for sale where the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition, and the sale is highly probable. For this purpose, a sale is highly probable if management is committed to a plan to achieve the sale; there is an active program to find a buyer; the non-current asset or disposal group is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; the sale is anticipated to be completed within one year from the date of classification; and it is unlikely there will be significant changes to the plan or that the plan will be withdrawn. Non-current assets and disposal groups held for sale that are not investment properties are recorded at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell on the consolidated balance sheet. Any gain or loss arising from the change in measurement basis as a result of reclassification is recognized in the profit or loss at the time of reclassification. Investment properties that are held for sale are recorded at fair value determined in accordance with IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement . Where a component of an entity has been disposed of, or is classified as held for sale, and it represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale, the related results of operations and gain or loss on reclassification or disposition are presented in discontinued operations. g) Hospitality assets The partnership accounts for its investments in hospitality properties as property, plant and equipment under the revaluation model. Hospitality properties are recognized initially at cost if acquired in an asset acquisition, or fair value if acquired in a business combination (see Note 2 (p), Business Combinations , for further discussion) and subsequently carried at fair value at the revaluation date less any accumulated impairment and subsequent accumulated depreciation. The partnership depreciates these assets on a straight-line basis over their relevant estimated useful lives. Fair values of hospitality properties are determined using a depreciated replacement cost method based on the age, physical condition and the construction costs of the assets. Fair value estimates for hospitality properties represent the estimated fair value of the property, plant and equipment of the hospitality business only and do not include any associated intangible assets. Revaluations of hospitality properties are performed annually at December 31, the end of the fiscal year. Where the carrying amount of an asset is increased as a result of a revaluation, the increase is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity within revaluation surplus, unless the increase reverses a previously recognized revaluation loss recorded through prior period net income, in which case that portion of the increase is recognized in net income. Where the carrying amount of an asset is decreased, the decrease is recognized in other comprehensive income to the extent of any balance existing in revaluation surplus in respect of the asset, with the remainder recognized in net income. Revaluation gains are recognized in other comprehensive income, and are not subsequently recycled into profit or loss. The cumulative revaluation surplus is transferred directly to retained earnings when the asset is derecognized. Certain of the partnership’s hospitality assets are right-of-use assets arising from leases where the partnership is the lessee, which are subsequently measured on a depreciated cost basis since they represent a separate class of property, plant and equipment to the partnership’s owned hospitality assets (see Note 2 (j), Leases , for further discussion). h) Inventory Develop-for-sale multifamily projects, residential development lots, homes and residential condominium projects are recorded in inventory. Residential development lots are recorded at the lower of cost, including pre-development expenditures and capitalized borrowing costs, and net realizable value, which the company determines as the estimated selling price of the inventory in the ordinary course of business in its completed state, less estimated expenses, including holding costs, costs to complete and costs to sell. Certain of the partnership’s inventory are right-of-use assets arising from leases where the partnership is the lessee, which are subsequently measured at cost subject to impairment (see Note 2 (j), Leases , for further discussion). i) Fair value measurement Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the partnership takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability and how market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Inputs to fair value measurement techniques are disaggregated into three hierarchical levels, which are directly based on the degree to which inputs to fair value measurement techniques are observable by market participants: • Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. • Level 2 – Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the asset’s or liability’s anticipated life. • Level 3 – Inputs are unobservable and reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs in determining the estimate. Fair value measurements are adopted by the partnership to calculate the carrying amounts of various assets and liabilities. j) Leases The partnership adopted IFRS 16, Leases (“IFRS 16”) effective January 1, 2019. It supersedes IAS 17, Leases (“IAS 17”) and related interpretations. IFRS 16 brings most leases on-balance sheet as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities for lessees under a single model, eliminating the distinction between operating and finance leases. Lessor accounting remains largely unchanged (see Note 2 (q), Revenue Recognition for further discussion). The partnership has applied IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach and comparative periods are not restated. The adoption of IFRS 16 resulted in the recognition of lease liabilities for those leases previously classified as operating leases of $873 million , ROU assets of $721 million that are classified as investment properties, $122 million that are classified as property, plant and equipment, $22 million that are classified as inventory and an immaterial impact to equity. These amounts do not include the lease liabilities and ROU assets of certain investments that were deconsolidated by the partnership on January 31, 2019. See Note 5 , Investment Properties for further information. In applying IFRS 16 for the first time, the partnership has applied the following practical expedients permitted by the standard on a lease-by-lease basis. These practical expedients are only available upon adoption and cannot be applied for any new lease executed after adoption: • the accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as of January 1, 2019 as short-term leases; • the exclusion of initial direct costs for the measurement of the ROU assets; • the use of hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease; and • adjusting the measurement of the ROU assets by the amount of any provision for onerous leases recognized under IAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets (“IAS 37”). The partnership has also elected not to reassess whether a contract is or contains a lease. Accordingly, the definition of a lease in accordance with IAS 17 and IFRIC 4, Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease (“IFRIC 4”) will continue to be applied to leases entered into or modified before January 1, 2019. Lease obligations at December 31, 2018 were as follows, as disclosed in the partnership’s annual report on Form 20-F for the year-ended December 31, 2018: (US$ Millions) Dec. 31, 2018 Less than 1 year $ 104 1-5 years 401 More than 5 years 5,631 Total 6,136 The lease obligations as disclosed in the table above included leases that are classified as finance leases, short-term leases and low-value leases, which are immaterial. It also included operating leases held by certain investments that were deconsolidated as of January 31, 2019. The partnership calculated the lease liabilities for the operating leases by discounting the future lease obligations at the respective incremental borrowing rates at the date of initial adoption. The weighted average lessee’s incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities recognized at the date of initial adoption was 6.8% . Total lease liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2019 consists of $43 million current lease liabilities and $889 million non-current lease liabilities. For the year ended December 31, 2019 , ROU assets of $752 million that are classified as investment properties, $175 million that are classified as property, plant and equipment, $31 million that are classified as inventory. The partnership determines at the inception of a contract if the arrangement is, or contains, a lease. A lease conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The criteria specified in IFRS 16 apply to contracts entered into, or changed, on or after January 1, 2019. Lease components and non-lease components are separated on a relative stand-alone selling price basis for the partnership’s leases as lessor. For the partnership’s leases as lessee, the partnership applies the practical expedient which is available by asset class not to allocate contract consideration between lease and non-lease components. The change in definition of a lease mainly relates to the concept of control. IFRS 16 determines whether a contract contains a lease on the basis of whether the customer has the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The partnership recognizes a ROU asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease agreements in which it is the lessee, except for leases with a lease term of 12 months or less (“short-term leases”) and leases of low value assets (“low-value leases”). For these leases, the partnership recognizes the lease payments as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the rate implicit in the lease if that rate can be readily determined. If the rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined, the partnership uses the incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that a lessee would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the ROU asset in a similar economic environment. This rate is expected to be similar to the interest rate implicit in the lease. Where a lease contains a parental guarantee, the incremental borrowing rate may be determined with reference to the parent rather than the lessee. The partnership uses a single discount rate to account for portfolios of leases with similar characteristics. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability is comprised of i) fixed lease payments, less any lease incentives; ii) variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date; iii) the amount expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees; iv) the exercise price of purchase options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options; and v) payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the exercise of an option to terminate the lease. Lease liabilities are presented in Accounts payable and other liabilities (current) and Other non-current liabilities (non-current) on the consolidated balance sheets. Lease liabilities are subsequently measured under the effective interest method that is increased by the interest expense on the lease liabilities recognized on the consolidated statements of income and reduced by lease payments made that are recognized in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Lease payments not included in the measurement of lease liabilities continue to be recognized in the direct commercial property expense, direct hospitality expense or general and administrative expense lines on the consolidated statements of income. ROU asset comprises the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, lease payments made at or before the commencement day and any initial direct costs. ROU assets classified as investment properties are subsequently measured at fair value. ROU assets classified as property, plant and equipment are subsequently measured on a depreciated cost basis over the lease term. If such lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset or the cost of the ROU asset reflects that the partnership expects to exercise a purchase option, the related ROU asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset. The depreciation starts at the commencement date of the lease. ROU assets classified as inventory are subsequently carried at cost subject to impairment. ROU assets are presented in the respective lines based on their classification on the consolidated balance sheets. Whenever the partnership incurs an obligation for costs to dismantle and remove a leased asset, restore the site on which it is located or restore the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease, a provision is recognized and measured under IAS 37. The costs are included in the related ROU asset. The partnership remeasures lease liabilities and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related ROU assets when i) the lease term has changed or there is a change in the assessment of exercise of a purchase option, in which case the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate; ii) the lease payments have changed due to changes in an index or rate or a change in expected payment under a guaranteed residual value, in which cases the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using the initial discount rate (unless the lease payments change is due to a change in a floating interest rate, in which case a revised discount rate is used); or iii) a lease contract is modified and the lease modification is not accounted for as a separate lease, in which case the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate. The partnership made additional disclosures in Note 5 , Investment Properties , Note 10 , Property, Plant And Equipment , Note 13 , Other Non-Current Assets , Note 19 , Other Non-Current Liabilities , Note 20 , Accounts Payable And Other Liabilities , Note 26 , Direct Commercial Property Expense and Note 28 , Depreciation and Amortization , as a result of the adoption. k) Intangible assets Intangible assets acquired in a business combination and recognized separately from goodwill are initially recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. The partnership’s intangible assets are comprised primarily of trademarks and licensing agreements. Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets with a finite life are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the intangible asset and is recognized in net income for the respective reporting period. Intangible assets with an indefinite life are measured at cost as adjusted for subsequent impairment. Impairment tests for intangible assets with an indefinite life are performed annually.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS | BUSINESS COMBINATIONS a) Completed in 2019 As discussed in Note 2 (p), Business Combinations, the partnership adopted the IFRS 3 Amendments effective January 1, 2019 in advance of its mandatory effective date. IFRS 3 Amendments clarifies the definition of a business in determining whether an acquisition is a business combination or an asset acquisition. The partnership did not complete any business combinations during the year ended December 31, 2019 . b) Completed in 2018 In addition to the partnership’s acquisition of GGP Inc. (“GGP”) in 2018 that is discussed in Note 4 , Acquisition of GGP Inc. , the partnership completed the following significant business combinations (prior to the adoption of IFRS 3 Amendments) during 2018 through Brookfield-sponsored real estate funds: • On February 1, 2018, the partnership acquired a portfolio of 105 extended-stay hotel properties across the United States (“Extended-Stay Hotel Portfolio”) for total consideration of $764 million . During 2018, the partnership completed the purchase price allocation for Extended-Stay Hotel Portfolio. No material changes were made to the provisional purchase price allocation. • On February 1, 2018, the partnership acquired a portfolio of 15 student housing properties in the United Kingdom (“UK Student Housing IV”), for total consideration of £527 million ( $752 million ). During 2018, the partnership completed the purchase price allocation for UK Student Housing IV. No material changes were made to the provisional purchase price allocation. • On August 3, 2018, the partnership acquired a 100% leasehold interest in 660 Fifth Avenue, a commercial office asset in New York, for consideration of $1,299 million . During 2019, the partnership completed the purchase price allocation for 660 Fifth Avenue. No material changes were made to the provisional purchase price allocation. This portfolio was deconsolidated by the partnership on January 31, 2019. See Note 5 , Investment Properties for further information. • On December 7, 2018, the partnership acquired all of the outstanding common shares of Forest City Realty Trust Inc. (“Forest City”), a publicly traded company which owns a portfolio of office, multifamily and mixed-use assets across the U.S, for consideration of $6,948 million . During 2019, the partnership finalized the review over the fair value of the investment properties and property debt obligations as at the acquisition date and recognized an opening equity adjustment of $549 million that mostly consisted of a bargain purchase gain. The bargain purchase gain was reflecting the discount to net asset value of the previously publicly traded shares of Forest City. No other material changes were made to the provisional purchase price allocation. This portfolio was deconsolidated by the partnership on January 31, 2019. See Note 5 , Investment Properties for further information. The partnership also completed several individually immaterial business combinations during 2018 for total consideration of $3,948 million . The acquisitions were primarily LP Investments made by Brookfield-sponsored real estate funds to invest the funds’ capital. The partnership consolidates the acquired investments as Brookfield Asset Management’s power as general partner, together with the partnership’s LP interests, provide the partnership with control over the investments. As noted above, 660 Fifth Avenue and Forest City were deconsolidated by the partnership on January 31, 2019. See Note 5 , Investment Properties for further information. The following table summarizes the amounts recognized as of the acquisition date for each major class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in addition to the consideration and transaction costs incurred: (US$ Millions) Extended- Stay Hotel Portfolio UK Student Housing IV 660 Fifth Avenue (3) Forest City (3) Other Total Date of acquisition 2/1/2018 2/1/2018 8/3/2018 12/7/2018 Various Investment properties $ — $ 742 $ 1,292 $ 9,409 $ 3,846 $ 15,289 Property, plant and equipment 768 2 — — 922 1,692 Equity accounted investments 5 — — 1,479 79 1,563 Goodwill — — — — 96 96 Intangible assets — — — — 54 54 Accounts receivable and other 2 53 11 935 944 1,945 Cash and cash equivalents 2 18 — 487 168 675 Total assets 777 815 1,303 12,310 6,109 21,314 Less: Debt obligations — — — (3,504 ) (1,504 ) (5,008 ) Accounts payable and other (13 ) (63 ) (4 ) (700 ) (283 ) (1,063 ) Deferred tax liabilities — — — — (47 ) (47 ) Non-controlling interests (1) — — — (609 ) (88 ) (697 ) Net assets acquired $ 764 $ 752 $ 1,299 $ 7,497 $ 4,187 $ 14,499 Consideration (2) $ 764 $ 752 $ 1,299 $ 6,948 $ 3,948 $ 13,711 Transaction costs $ 9 $ 7 $ 44 $ 202 $ 67 $ 329 (1) Includes non-controlling interests recognized on business combinations measured as the proportionate share of the fair value of the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities on the date of acquisition. (2) Includes consideration paid with funds received from issuance of non-controlling interests to certain institutional investors in funds sponsored by Brookfield Asset Management. (3) These investments were deconsolidated by the partnership on January 31, 2019. See Note 5, Investment Properties for further information. Excluding the acquisition of GGP, in the period from each acquisition date to December 31, 2018 , the partnership recorded revenue and net income in connection with these acquisitions of approximately $529 million and $163 million , respectively. If the acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2018 , the partnership’s total revenue and net income would have been $8,572 million and $4,133 million , respectively, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 . Transaction costs, which primarily relate to legal and consulting fees, are expensed as incurred in accordance with IFRS 3 and included in general and administrative expense on the consolidated income statement. ACQUISITION OF GGP INC. On March 26, 2018, the partnership entered into a definitive merger agreement with GGP to acquire all of the outstanding common shares of GGP other than those shares already held by the partnership and its subsidiaries. Under the terms of the agreement, GGP common shareholders had the right to elect to receive, for each GGP share, subject to proration, (i) $23.50 in cash or (ii) either one BPY unit or one BPR Unit, a new U.S. REIT security formed by recapitalizing GGP and amending its governing documents. Each BPR Unit is structured to provide an economic return equivalent to a LP Unit. The holder of a BPR Unit has the right, at any time, to request the share be redeemed for the cash equivalent to the value of a LP Unit. In the event the holder of a BPR Unit exercises this right, the partnership has the right, at its sole discretion, to satisfy the redemption request with a LP Unit rather than cash. On July 26, 2018, GGP shareholders approved the merger which closed on August 28, 2018. On closing the partnership controlled BPR as it held 87% of the voting stock of BPR through its 100% ownership of the BPR Class B and Class C shares. The balance of the voting rights in respect of BPR are held by the holders of the BPR Units. Based on shareholder elections, which were subject to proration, cash totaling $9.05 billion was paid by GGP to its shareholders, other than the partnership, in the form of a pre-closing dividend on August 27, 2018. According to the terms of the agreement, the consideration payable on close of the merger was reduced by the amount of the pre-closing dividend. The pre-closing dividend was funded with new term debt, property-level refinancings, proceeds from the sale of partial interests in certain GGP properties and the issuance of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries of GGP. The acquisition of GGP was accounted for as a business combination achieved in stages. The partnership’s existing equity interest in GGP was remeasured to fair value immediately prior to the acquisition date of August 28, 2018 based on the partnership’s interest in the fair value of the identifiable net assets and liabilities of GGP at the time. As a result of this remeasurement, a loss of approximately $502 million was recognized in fair value gains, net. Consideration paid on acquisition of control by the partnership was comprised of the following: • 88 million LP Units with a fair value of $1,786 million determined with reference to the trading price of the LP Units on the closing date; • 161 million BPR Units with a fair value of $3,383 million determined with reference to the initial trading price of the BPR Unit; • Cash consideration of $200 million ; and • Share-based payment awards to GGP employees with a fair value of $28 million . As discussed in Note 21 , Equity , the BPR Units issued on closing represent a non-controlling interest in the partnership. During 2019, the partnership completed the purchase price allocation for GGP. No material changes were made to the provisional purchase price allocation. The following table summarizes the amounts recognized as of the acquisition date for each major class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in addition to the consideration paid and transaction costs incurred: (US$ Millions) GGP Investment properties $ 17,991 Equity accounted investments 10,829 Property, plant and equipment 56 Accounts receivable and other 592 Cash and cash equivalents 424 Total assets 29,892 Less: Debt obligations (13,147 ) Accounts payable and other (691 ) Deferred tax liabilities (11 ) Non-controlling interests (1) (1,882 ) Net assets acquired $ 14,161 Consideration (2) $ 13,240 Transaction costs 32 (1) Includes non-controlling interests in a subsidiary of BPR measured as the proportionate share of the fair value of the entity’s net assets on the date of acquisition. (2) Includes the acquisition date fair value of the partnership’s previously held equity interest in GGP of $7,843 million . In connection with the acquisition of GGP, the partnership has recognized a bargain purchase gain of $921 million in fair value gains, net as the consideration paid exceeds the fair value of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and non-controlling interests recognized on acquisition. The partnership has determined that it has identified all of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and that each is appropriately measured. The fair value of the investment properties acquired was determined, for certain of the assets, based on transaction prices agreed with third parties for the sale of partial interests and valuation models prepared by an independent external appraiser. In the period from August 28, 2018 to December 31, 2018, the partnership recorded revenue and net income in connection with this acquisition of approximately $588 million and $360 million , respectively. If the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2018 , the partnership’s total revenue and net income would have been $8,415 million and $4,373 million , respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2018, only including the GGP transaction. |

The partnership also completed several individually immaterial business combinations during 2018 for total consideration of $3,948 million . The acquisitions were primarily LP Investments made by Brookfield-sponsored real estate funds to invest the funds’ capital. The partnership consolidates the acquired investments as Brookfield Asset Management’s power as general partner, together with the partnership’s LP interests, provide the partnership with control over the investments. As noted above, 660 Fifth Avenue and Forest City were deconsolidated by the partnership on January 31, 2019. See Note 5 , Investment Properties for further information.

(3) These investments were deconsolidated by the partnership on January 31, 2019. See Note 5, Investment Properties for further information. Excluding the acquisition of GGP, in the period from each acquisition date to December 31, 2018 , the partnership recorded revenue and net income in connection with these acquisitions of approximately $529 million and $163 million , respectively. If the acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2018 , the partnership’s total revenue and net income would have been $8,572 million and $4,133 million , respectively, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 . Transaction costs, which primarily relate to legal and consulting fees, are expensed as incurred in accordance with IFRS 3 and included in general and administrative expense on the consolidated income statement. ACQUISITION OF GGP INC. On March 26, 2018, the partnership entered into a definitive merger agreement with GGP to acquire all of the outstanding common shares of GGP other than those shares already held by the partnership and its subsidiaries. Under the terms of the agreement, GGP common shareholders had the right to elect to receive, for each GGP share, subject to proration, (i) $23.50 in cash or (ii) either one BPY unit or one BPR Unit, a new U.S. REIT security formed by recapitalizing GGP and amending its governing documents. Each BPR Unit is structured to provide an economic return equivalent to a LP Unit. The holder of a BPR Unit has the right, at any time, to request the share be redeemed for the cash equivalent to the value of a LP Unit. In the event the holder of a BPR Unit exercises this right, the partnership has the right, at its sole discretion, to satisfy the redemption request with a LP Unit rather than cash. On July 26, 2018, GGP shareholders approved the merger which closed on August 28, 2018. On closing the partnership controlled BPR as it held 87% of the voting stock of BPR through its 100% ownership of the BPR Class B and Class C shares. The balance of the voting rights in respect of BPR are held by the holders of the BPR Units. Based on shareholder elections, which were subject to proration, cash totaling $9.05 billion was paid by GGP to its shareholders, other than the partnership, in the form of a pre-closing dividend on August 27, 2018. According to the terms of the agreement, the consideration payable on close of the merger was reduced by the amount of the pre-closing dividend. The pre-closing dividend was funded with new term debt, property-level refinancings, proceeds from the sale of partial interests in certain GGP properties and the issuance of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries of GGP. The acquisition of GGP was accounted for as a business combination achieved in stages. The partnership’s existing equity interest in GGP was remeasured to fair value immediately prior to the acquisition date of August 28, 2018 based on the partnership’s interest in the fair value of the identifiable net assets and liabilities of GGP at the time. As a result of this remeasurement, a loss of approximately $502 million was recognized in fair value gains, net. Consideration paid on acquisition of control by the partnership was comprised of the following: • 88 million LP Units with a fair value of $1,786 million determined with reference to the trading price of the LP Units on the closing date; • 161 million BPR Units with a fair value of $3,383 million determined with reference to the initial trading price of the BPR Unit; • Cash consideration of $200 million ; and • Share-based payment awards to GGP employees with a fair value of $28 million . As discussed in Note 21 , Equity , the BPR Units issued on closing represent a non-controlling interest in the partnership. During 2019, the partnership completed the purchase price allocation for GGP. No material changes were made to the provisional purchase price allocation. The following table summarizes the amounts recognized as of the acquisition date for each major class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in addition to the consideration paid and transaction costs incurred: (US$ Millions) GGP Investment properties $ 17,991 Equity accounted investments 10,829 Property, plant and equipment 56 Accounts receivable and other 592 Cash and cash equivalents 424 Total assets 29,892 Less: Debt obligations (13,147 ) Accounts payable and other (691 ) Deferred tax liabilities (11 ) Non-controlling interests (1) (1,882 ) Net assets acquired $ 14,161 Consideration (2) $ 13,240 Transaction costs 32 (1) Includes non-controlling interests in a subsidiary of BPR measured as the proportionate share of the fair value of the entity’s net assets on the date of acquisition. (2) Includes the acquisition date fair value of the partnership’s previously held equity interest in GGP of $7,843 million . In connection with the acquisition of GGP, the partnership has recognized a bargain purchase gain of $921 million in fair value gains, net as the consideration paid exceeds the fair value of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and non-controlling interests recognized on acquisition. The partnership has determined that it has identified all of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and that each is appropriately measured. The fair value of the investment properties acquired was determined, for certain of the assets, based on transaction prices agreed with third parties for the sale of partial interests and valuation models prepared by an independent external appraiser. In the period from August 28, 2018 to December 31, 2018, the partnership recorded revenue and net income in connection with this acquisition of approximately $588 million and $360 million , respectively. If the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2018 , the partnership’s total revenue and net income would have been $8,415 million and $4,373 million , respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2018, only including the GGP transaction. |

(2) Includes the impact of the adoption of IFRS 16 through the recognition of right-of-use assets. See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for further information. (3) Property dispositions represent the carrying value on date of sale. (4) Includes the impact of the deconsolidation of Brookfield Strategic Real Estate Partners III (“BSREP III”) investments. See below for further information. (5) Includes right-of-use commercial properties and commercial developments of $720 million and $32 million , respectively, as of December 31, 2019 . Current lease liabilities of $38 million has been included in accounts payable and other liabilities and non-current lease liabilities of $714 million have been included in other non-current liabilities. The partnership determines the fair value of each commercial property based upon, among other things, rental income from current leases and assumptions about rental income from future leases reflecting market conditions at the applicable balance sheet dates, less future cash outflows in respect of such leases. Investment property valuations are generally completed by undertaking one of two accepted income approach methods, which include either: i) discounting the expected future cash flows, generally over a term of 10 years including a terminal value based on the application of a capitalization rate to estimated year 11 cash flows; or ii) undertaking a direct capitalization approach whereby a capitalization rate is applied to estimated current year cash flows. Where there has been a recent market transaction for a specific property, such as an acquisition or sale of a partial interest, the partnership values the property on that basis. In determining the appropriateness of the methodology applied, the partnership considers the relative uncertainty of the timing and amount of expected cash flows and the impact such uncertainty would have in arriving at a reliable estimate of fair value. The partnership prepares these valuations considering asset and market specific factors, as well as observable transactions for similar assets. The determination of fair value requires the use of estimates, which are internally determined and compared with market data, third-party reports and research as well as observable conditions. There are currently no known trends, events or uncertainties that the partnership reasonably believes could have a sufficiently pervasive impact across the partnership’s businesses to materially affect the methodologies or assumptions utilized to determine the estimated fair values reflected in this report. Discount rates and capitalization rates are inherently uncertain and may be impacted by, among other things, movements in interest rates in the geographies and markets in which the assets are located. Changes in estimates of discount and capitalization rates across different geographies and markets are often independent of each other and not necessarily in the same direction or of the same magnitude. Further, impacts to the partnership’s fair values of commercial properties from changes in discount or capitalization rates and cash flows are usually inversely correlated. Decreases (increases) in the discount rate or capitalization rate result in increases (decreases) of fair value. Such decreases (increases) may be mitigated by decreases (increases) in cash flows included in the valuation analysis, as circumstances that typically give rise to increased interest rates (e.g., strong economic growth, inflation) usually give rise to increased cash flows at the asset level. Refer to the table below for further information on valuation methods used by the partnership for its asset classes. Commercial developments are also measured using a discounted cash flow model, net of costs to complete, as of the balance sheet date. Development sites in the planning phases are measured using comparable market values for similar assets. In accordance with its policy, the partnership generally measures and records its commercial properties and developments using valuations prepared by management. However, for certain subsidiaries, the partnership relies on quarterly valuations prepared by external valuation professionals. Management compares the external valuations to the partnership’s internal valuations to review the work performed by the external valuation professionals. Additionally, a number of properties are externally appraised each year and the results of those appraisals are compared to the partnership’s internally prepared values. 2019 Transactions BSREP III deconsolidation In the first quarter of 2019, BSREP III held its final close with total equity commitments of $15 billion . Prior to final close, the partnership had committed to 25% , or a controlling interest in the fund and as a result, had previously consolidated the investments made to date. Upon final close, on January 31, 2019, the partnership reduced its commitment to $1 billion , representing a 7% non-voting position. As a result, the partnership lost control and deconsolidated its investment in the fund, which primarily consists of Forest City and 660 Fifth Avenue. The partnership recognizes its investment in BSREP III as a financial asset, initially recognized at fair value and remeasured on each reporting date through fair value gain or loss. As a result of the deconsolidation, investment properties decreased by $11,499 million , equity accounted investments decreased by $1,434 million , property, plant and equipment decreased by $789 million and debt obligations decreased by $13,601 million . Adoption of IFRS 16 The impact of the January 1, 2019 adoption of IFRS 16 resulted in the recognition of ROU investment properties of $721 million . Fair value loss related to IFRS 16 ROU assets for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $5 million . As of December 31, 2019 , ROU investment properties was $752 million .

Class B Junior Preferred Shares, held by Brookfield Asset Management, were redeemed. (2) Class B, Series 1 and 2 capital securities - corporate are owned by Brookfield Asset Management. BPO has an offsetting loan receivable against these securities earning interest at 95% of bank prime. (3) Includes the impact of the deconsolidation of BSREP III investments, primarily Forest City. See Note 5, Investment Properties for further information. The capital securities presented above represent interests in the partnership or its subsidiaries that are in legal form equity and are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with IFRS 9 due to the redemption features of these instruments. On December 4, 2014, the partnership issued $1,800 million of Preferred Equity Units to the Class A Preferred Unitholder. The Preferred Equity Units are exchangeable at the option of the Class A Preferred Unitholder into LP Units at a price of $25.70 per unit and were issued in three tranches of $600 million each, with an average dividend yield of 6.5% and maturities of seven , ten and twelve years. After three years for the seven -year tranche and four years for the ten - and twelve -year tranches, the partnership can effectively require the holder to exchange the Preferred Equity Units into LP Units as long as the LP Units are trading at or above 125% , 130% and 135% , respectively, of the exchange price. Upon maturity, the Preferred Equity Units that remain outstanding will be redeemed in exchange for LP Units valued at the 20 -day, volume-weighted average trading price at such time. Brookfield Asset Management has contingently agreed to acquire the seven -year and ten -year tranches of Preferred Equity Units from the Class A Preferred Unitholder for the initial issuance price plus accrued and unpaid distributions and to exchange such units for Preferred Equity Units with terms and conditions substantially similar to the twelve -year tranche to the extent that the market price of the LP Units is less than 80% of the exchange price at maturity. The Class A Preferred Unitholder has the right to designate one member to the board of directors of the partnership. The Preferred Equity Units have been accounted for as a compound instrument comprised of (i) a financial liability representing the partnership’s obligations to redeem the Preferred Equity Units at maturity for a variable number of BPY Units and (ii) an equity instrument representing the Class A Preferred Unitholder’s right to convert the Preferred Equity Units to a fixed number of BPY Units. The cash proceeds received from issuing the Preferred Equity Units were allocated between capital securities ( $1,535 million ) and limited partners’ equity ( $265 million ). The allocation between capital securities and equity was based on first determining the liability component by discounting the cash flows associated with these securities at market interest rates. The equity component was then assigned the residual amount after deducting from the fair value of the instrument as a whole the amount separately determined for the liability component. The holders of each series of the BOP Split Senior Preferred Shares are each entitled to receive fixed cumulative preferential cash dividends, if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors of BOP Split. Dividends on each series of the BOP Split Senior Preferred Shares are payable quarterly on the last day of March, June, September and December in each year. Capital securities includes $249 million at December 31, 2019 ( December 31, 2018 - $249 million ) of preferred equity interests held by a third party investor in Manufactured Housing which have been classified as a liability, rather than as a non-controlling interest, due to the fact the holders are entitled to distributions equal to their capital balance plus 9% annual return payable in monthly distributions until maturity in December 2025. Capital securities also includes $142 million at December 31, 2019 ( December 31, 2018 - $142 million ) of preferred equity interests held by a third party investor in Rouse Properties, L.P. (“Rouse”) which have been classified as a liability, rather than as a non-controlling interest, due to the fact that the interests are mandatorily redeemable on or after November 12, 2025 for a set price per unit plus any accrued but unpaid distributions; distributions are capped and accrue regardless of available cash generated. Capital securities also includes $40 million at December 31, 2019 ( December 31, 2018 - $40 million ) of preferred equity interests held by the partnership’s co-investor in Vintage Estate which have been classified as a liability, rather than as non-controlling interest, due to the fact that the preferred equity interests are mandatorily redeemable on April 26, 2023 for cash at an amount equal to the outstanding principal balance of the preferred equity plus any accrued but unpaid dividend. The Capital Securities - Fund Subsidiaries includes $859 million ( December 31, 2018 - $775 million ) of equity interests in Brookfield DTLA Holdings LLC (“DTLA”) held by co-investors in DTLA which have been classified as a liability, rather than as non-controlling interest, as holders of these interests can cause DTLA to redeem their interests in the fund for cash equivalent to the fair value of the interests on October 15, 2023, and on every fifth anniversary thereafter.

The proportion of interests held by holders of the Redeemable/Exchangeable Units and Exchange LP Units changes as a result of issuances, repurchases and exchanges. Consequently, the partnership adjusted the relative carrying amounts of the interests held by limited partners and non-controlling interests based on their relative share of the equivalent LP Units. The difference between the adjusted value and the previous carrying amounts was attributed to current LP Units as ownership changes in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity. |

During the year ended December 31, 2019 , the partnership incurred $25 million ( 2018 - $12 million ; 2017 - $14 million ) of expense in connection with its unit-based compensation plans. a) BPY Unit Option Plan Awards under the BPY Plan (“BPY Awards”) generally vest 20% per year over a period of five years and expire 10 years after the grant date, with the exercise price set at the time such options were granted and generally equal to the market price of an LP Unit on the Nasdaq on the last trading day preceding the grant date. Upon exercise of a vested BPY Award, the participant is entitled to receive BPY Units or a cash payment equal to the amount by which the fair market value of an LP Unit at the date of exercise exceeds the exercise price of the BPY Award. Subject to a separate adjustment arising from forfeitures, the estimated expense is revalued every reporting period using the Black-Scholes model as a result of the cash settlement provisions of the plan for employees whose location of employment is Australia or Canada. In terms of measuring expected life of the BPY Awards with various term lengths and vesting periods, BPY will segregate each set of similar BPY Awards and, if different, exercise price, into subgroups and apply a weighted average within each group. There were no BPY Awards granted during the year ended December 31, 2019 . The partnership estimated the fair value of the BPY Awards granted during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The following assumptions were utilized: Unit of measurement Years ended Dec. 31, 2019 2018 2017 Exercise price US$ — 22.50 22.92 Average term to exercise In years — 7.50 7.50 Unit price volatility % — % 23 % 25 % Liquidity discount % — % 25 % 25 % Weighted average of expected annual dividend yield % — % 6.50 % 6.50 % Risk-free rate % — % 2.82 % 2.37 % Weighted average fair value per option US$ — 0.74 1.60 i.

Disclosure Of Obligations, Guarantees, Contingencies And Other [Abstract] | |
OBLIGATIONS, GUARANTEES, CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER | OBLIGATIONS, GUARANTEES, CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER In the normal course of operations, the partnership and its consolidated entities execute agreements that provide for indemnification and guarantees to third parties in transactions such as business dispositions, business acquisitions, sales of assets and sales of services. Certain of the partnership’s operating subsidiaries have also agreed to indemnify their directors and certain of their officers and employees. The nature of substantially all of the indemnification undertakings prevent the partnership from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount that it could be required to pay third parties as the agreements do not specify a maximum amount and the amounts are dependent upon the outcome of future contingent events, the nature and likelihood of which cannot be determined at this time. Historically, neither the partnership nor its consolidated subsidiaries have made significant payments under such indemnification agreements. The partnership and its operating subsidiaries may be contingently liable with respect to litigation and claims that arise from time to time in the normal course of business or otherwise. At December 31, 2019 , the partnership had commitments totaling: • approximately $2,240 million for the development of Manhattan West in Midtown New York, Greenpoint Landing in Brooklyn, as well as the redevelopment of One Allen Center, Two Allen Center, and Three Allen Center in Houston; • approximately A$301 million ( $211 million ) for the development of 388 George Street in Sydney; 405 Bourke Street in Melbourne; and Elizabeth Quay in Perth; • approximately £39 million ( $52 million ) for the development of 100 Bishopsgate and Principal Place Residential in London; and • approximately AED 212 million ( $58 million ) for the development of ICD Brookfield Place in Dubai. During 2013, Brookfield Asset Management announced the final close on the $4.4 billion first BSREP fund (“BSREP I”), a global private fund focused on making opportunistic investments in commercial property. The partnership, as lead investor, committed approximately $1.3 billion to the fund. As of December 31, 2019 , there remained approximately $170 million of uncontributed capital commitments. In April 2016, Brookfield Asset Management announced the final close on the $9.0 billion second BSREP fund (“BSREP II”) to which the partnership had committed $2.3 billion as lead investor. As of December 31, 2019 , there remained approximately $755 million of uncontributed capital commitments. In November 2017, Brookfield Asset Management announced the final close on the $2.9 billion fifth Brookfield Real Estate Finance Fund (“BREF”) to which the partnership had committed $400 million as lead investor. As of December 31, 2019 , there remained approximately $235 million of uncontributed capital commitments. In September 2018, Brookfield Asset Management announced the final close of the $1.0 billion third Brookfield Fairfield U.S. Multifamily Value Add Fund (“VAMF”) to which the partnership had committed $300 million . As of December 31, 2019 , there remained approximately $180 million of uncontributed capital commitments. In January 2019, Brookfield Asset Management announced the final close on the $15.0 billion third BSREP fund to which the partnership has committed $1.0 billion . As of December 31, 2019 , there remained approximately $760 million of uncontributed capital commitments. The partnership maintains insurance on its properties in amounts and with deductibles that it believes are in line with what owners of similar properties carry. The partnership maintains all risk property insurance and rental value coverage (including coverage for the perils of flood, earthquake and named windstorm). The partnership does not conduct its operations, other than those of equity accounted investments, through entities that are not fully or proportionately consolidated in these financial statements, and has not guaranteed or otherwise contractually committed to support any material financial obligations not reflected in these financial statements. |

Liquidity and Capital Management [Abstract] | |
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT | LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT The capital of the partnership’s business consists of debt obligations, capital securities, preferred stock and equity. The partnership’s objective when managing this capital is to maintain an appropriate balance between holding a sufficient amount of equity capital to support its operations and reducing its weighted average cost of capital to improve its return on equity. As at December 31, 2019 , capital totaled $103 billion ( December 31, 2018 - $114 billion ). The partnership attempts to maintain a level of liquidity to ensure it is able to participate in investment opportunities as they arise and to better withstand sudden adverse changes in economic circumstances. The partnership’s primary sources of liquidity include cash, undrawn committed credit facilities, construction facilities, cash flow from operating activities and access to public and private capital markets. In addition, the partnership structures its affairs to facilitate monetization of longer-duration assets through financings and co-investor participations. The partnership seeks to increase income from its existing properties by maintaining quality standards for its properties that promote high occupancy rates and support increases in rental rates while reducing tenant turnover and related costs, and by controlling operating expenses. Consequently, the partnership believes its revenue, along with proceeds from financing activities and divestitures, will continue to provide the necessary funds to cover its short-term liquidity needs. However, material changes in the factors described above may adversely affect the partnership’s net cash flows. The partnership’s principal liquidity needs for the current year and for periods beyond include: • Recurring expenses; • Debt service requirements; • Distributions to unitholders; • Capital expenditures deemed mandatory, including tenant improvements; • Development costs not covered under construction loans; • Investing activities which could include: ◦ Fulfilling the partnership’s capital commitments to various funds; ◦ Discretionary capital expenditures; ◦ Property acquisitions; ◦ Future development; and ◦ Repurchase of the partnership’s units. Most of the partnership’s borrowings are in the form of long-term asset-specific financings with recourse only to the specific assets. Limiting recourse to specific assets ensures that poor performance within one area does not compromise the partnership’s ability to finance the balance of its operations. In addition, the partnership may, from time to time, issue equity instruments, including, but not limited to, LP Units, preferred equity and Redeemable/Exchangeable Partnership Units, to the public in private placements in certain circumstances to provide financing for significant transactions. The partnership’s operating subsidiaries are subject to limited covenants in respect of their corporate debt and are in full compliance with all such covenants at December 31, 2019 . The partnership’s operating subsidiaries are also in compliance with all covenants and other capital requirements related to regulatory or contractual obligations of material consequence to the partnership. The partnership’s strategy is to satisfy its liquidity needs in respect of the partnership using the partnership’s cash on hand, cash flows generated from operating activities and provided by financing activities, as well as proceeds from asset sales, primarily held in the LP Investments segment. The operating subsidiaries of the partnership also generate liquidity by accessing capital markets on an opportunistic basis. The partnership’s principal liquidity needs for periods beyond the next year are for scheduled debt maturities, distributions, recurring and non-recurring capital expenditures, development costs, potential property acquisitions and the partnership’s capital commitments to various funds. The partnership plans to meet these needs with one or more of: cash flows from operations; construction loans; creation of new funds; proceeds from sales of assets; proceeds from sale of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries and properties; and credit facilities and refinancing opportunities. The table below presents the partnership’s contractual obligations as of December 31, 2019 : (US$ Millions) Payments due by period Dec. 31, 2019 Total < 1 Year 1 Year 2 Years 3 Years 4 Years > 5 Years Debt obligations (1) $ 55,390 $ 8,829 $ 9,315 $ 5,605 $ 6,011 $ 10,781 $ 14,849 Capital securities 3,075 75 1,536 141 1 547 775 Lease obligations 5,301 78 79 77 77 77 4,913 Commitments (2) 1,138 499 226 401 12 — — Interest expense (3) : Long term debt 9,792 2,295 1,865 1,558 1,331 990 1,753 Capital securities 732 151 151 111 106 106 107 Interest rate swaps (1 ) 4 1 (3 ) (2 ) (1 ) — (1) Debt obligations is net of deferred financing costs of $418 million .

Financial Instruments [Abstract] | |
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS | FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS a) Derivatives and hedging activities The partnership and its operating entities use derivative and non-derivative instruments to manage financial risks, including interest rate, commodity, equity price and foreign exchange risks. The use of derivative contracts is governed by documented risk management policies and approved limits. The partnership does not use derivatives for speculative purposes. The partnership and its operating entities use the following derivative instruments to manage these risks: • foreign currency forward contracts to hedge exposures to Canadian Dollar, Australian Dollar, British Pound, Euro, Chinese Yuan, Brazilian Real, Indian Rupee and South Korean Won denominated net investments in foreign subsidiaries and foreign currency denominated financial assets; • interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk associated with planned refinancings and existing variable rate debt; • interest rate caps to hedge interest rate risk on certain variable rate debt; and • cross currency swaps to manage interest rate and foreign currency exchange rates on existing variable rate debt.

The fair value of interest bearing financial assets and liabilities is determined by discounting the contractual principal and interest payments at estimated current market interest rates for the instrument. Current market rates are determined by reference to current benchmark rates for a similar term and current credit spreads for debt with similar terms and risk. Classification and Measurement The following table outlines the classification and measurement basis, and related fair value for disclosures, of the financial assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements: Dec. 31, 2019 Dec. 31, 2018 (US$ Millions) Classification and measurement basis Carrying value Fair value Carrying value Fair value Financial assets Participating loan interests FVTPL $ — $ — $ 268 $ 268 Loans and notes receivable Amortized cost 329 329 1,055 1,055 Other non-current assets Securities - FVTPL FVTPL 1,250 1,250 239 239 Derivative assets FVTPL 10 10 13 13 Securities - FVTOCI FVTOCI 121 121 260 260 Restricted cash Amortized cost 154 154 161 161 Current assets Derivative assets FVTPL 80 80 234 234 Accounts receivable (1) Amortized cost 514 514 808 808 Restricted cash Amortized cost 239 239 631 631 Cash and cash equivalents Amortized cost 1,438 1,438 3,288 3,288 Total financial assets $ 4,135 $ 4,135 $ 6,957 $ 6,957 Financial liabilities Debt obligations (2) Amortized cost $ 55,528 $ 56,112 $ 63,964 $ 64,561 Capital securities Amortized cost 2,153 2,160 2,572 2,578 Capital securities - fund subsidiaries FVTPL 922 922 813 813 Other non-current liabilities Loan payable FVTPL — — 24 24 Accounts payable Amortized cost 778 778 1,770 1,770 Derivative liabilities FVTPL 413 413 159 159 Accounts payable and other liabilities Accounts payable and other (3) Amortized cost 2,711 2,711 3,255 3,255 Derivative liabilities FVTPL 289 289 181 181 Total financial liabilities $ 62,794 $ 63,385 $ 72,738 $ 73,341 (1) Includes other receivables associated with assets classified as held for sale on the consolidated balance sheets in the amounts of $4 million and $14 million as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively. (2) Includes debt obligations associated with assets classified as held for sale on the consolidated balance sheets in the amount of $138 million and $153 million as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively. (3) Includes accounts payable and other liabilities associated with assets classified as held for sale on the consolidated balance sheets in the amount of $2 million and $10 million as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively. The following table outlines financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the financial statements and the level of the inputs used to determine those fair values in the context of the hierarchy as defined above: Dec. 31, 2019 Dec. 31, 2018 (US$ Millions) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Financial assets Participating loan interests $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ 268 $ 268 Securities designated as FVTPL — — 1,250 1,250 — — 239 239 Securities designated as FVTOCI — — 121 121 — — 260 260 Derivative assets — 90 — 90 — 247 — 247 Total financial assets $ — $ 90 $ 1,371 $ 1,461 $ — $ 247 $ 767 $ 1,014 Financial liabilities Capital securities - fund subsidiaries $ — $ — $ 922 $ 922 $ — $ — $ 813 $ 813 Derivative liabilities — 702 — 702 — 340 — 340 Loan payable — — — — — — 24 24 Total financial liabilities $ — $ 702 $ 922 $ 1,624 $ — $ 340 $ 837 $ 1,177 There were no transfers between levels during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 . The following table presents the valuation techniques and inputs of the partnership’s Level 2 assets and liabilities: Type of asset/liability Valuation technique Foreign currency forward contracts Discounted cash flow model - forward exchange rates (from observable forward exchange rates at the end of the reporting period) and discounted at a credit adjusted rate Interest rate contracts Discounted cash flow model - forward interest rates (from observable yield curves) and applicable credit spreads discounted at a credit adjusted rate The table below presents the valuation techniques and inputs of Level 3 assets: Type of asset/liability Valuation techniques Significant unobservable input(s) Relationship of unobservable input(s) to fair value Participating loan interests Discounted cash flow model (a) Discount rate (b) Terminal capitalization rate (a) Decreases (increases) in the discount rate would increase (decrease) fair value (b) Increases (decreases) in the terminal capitalization rate would (decrease) increase fair value Securities - FVTPL/FVTOCI Net asset valuation (a) Forward exchange rates (from observable forward exchange rates at the end of the reporting period) (b) Discount rate (a) Increases (decreases) in the forward exchange rate would increase (decrease) fair value (b) Decreases (increases) in the discount rate would increase (decrease) fair value The following table presents the change in the balance of financial assets and financial liabilities classified as Level 3 as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 : Dec. 31, 2019 Dec. 31, 2018 (US$ Millions) Financial assets Financial liabilities Financial assets Financial liabilities Balance, beginning of year $ 767 $ 838 $ 835 $ 836 Additions 950 — 201 — Dispositions (125 ) — (7 ) (2 ) Fair value gains, net and OCI 206 8 (14 ) 4 Other (427 ) 76 (248 ) — Balance, end of year $ 1,371 $ 922 $ 767 $ 838 c) Market Risk Interest rate risk The partnership faces interest rate risk on its variable rate financial assets and liabilities. In addition, there is interest rate risk associated with the partnership’s fixed rate debt due to the expected requirement to refinance such debt in the year of maturity. The following table outlines the impact on interest expense of a 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates on the partnership’s variable rate liabilities and fixed rate debt maturing within one year: (US$ Millions) Dec. 31, 2019 Dec. 31, 2018 Variable rate property debt $ 250 $ 382 Fixed rate property debt due within one year 7 5 Total $ 257 $ 387 The partnership manages interest rate risk by primarily entering into fixed rate operating property debt and staggering the maturities of its mortgage portfolio over a 10 -year horizon when the market permits. The partnership also makes use of interest rate derivatives to manage interest rate risk on specific variable rate debts and on anticipated refinancing of fixed rate debt. Foreign currency risk The partnership is structured such that its foreign operations are primarily conducted by entities with a functional currency which is the same as the economic environment in which the operations take place. As a result, the net income impact of currency risk associated with financial instruments is limited as its financial assets and liabilities are generally denominated in the functional currency of the subsidiary that holds the financial instrument. However, the partnership is exposed to foreign currency risk on the net assets of its foreign currency denominated operations. The partnership’s exposures to foreign currencies and the sensitivity of net income and other comprehensive income, on a pre-tax basis, to a 10% change in the exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar is summarized below: Dec. 31, 2019 (Millions) Equity attributable to Unitholders OCI Net income Canadian Dollar (1) C$ 377 $ (29 ) $ — Australian Dollar A$ 2,154 (151 ) — British Pound £ 3,275 (434 ) — Euro € 339 (38 ) — Brazilian Real R$ 3,310 (82 ) — Indian Rupee Rs 26,628 (37 ) — Chinese Yuan C¥ 933 (13 ) — South Korean Won ₩ 160,969 (14 ) — United Arab Emirates Dirham AED 683 (19 ) — Czech Koruna CZK 10 — — Hungarian Forint HUF 314 — — Poland Zloty PLN 3 — — Total $ (817 ) $ — (1) Net of Canadian Dollar denominated loans.

Credit risk arises on loans and notes receivables in the event that borrowers default on the repayment to the partnership. The partnership mitigates this risk by attempting to ensure that adequate security has been provided in support of such loans and notes. Credit risk related to accounts receivable arises from the possibility that tenants may be unable to fulfill their lease commitments. The partnership mitigates this risk through diversification, ensuring that tenants meet minimum credit quality requirements and by ensuring that its tenant mix is diversified and by limiting its exposure to any one tenant. The partnership maintains a portfolio that is diversified by property type so that exposure to a business sector is lessened. Currently no one tenant represents more than 10% of operating property revenue. The majority of the partnership’s trade receivables are collected within 30 days. The balance of accounts receivable and loans and notes receivable past due is not significant. |

RELATED PARTIES | RELATED PARTIES In the normal course of operations, the partnership enters into transactions with related parties. These transactions are recognized in the consolidated financial statements. These transactions have been measured at exchange value and are recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The immediate parent of the partnership is the BPY General Partner. The ultimate parent of the partnership is Brookfield Asset Management. Other related parties of the partnership include the partnership’s and Brookfield Asset Management’s subsidiaries and operating entities, certain joint ventures and associates accounted for under the equity method, as well as officers of such entities and their spouses. The partnership has a management agreement with its service providers, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Brookfield Asset Management. Pursuant to a Master Services Agreement, the partnership pays a base management fee (“base management fee”), to the service providers equal to 0.5% of the total capitalization of the partnership, subject to an annual minimum of $50 million , plus annual inflation adjustments. The calculation of the equity enhancement distribution is reduced by the amount by which the base management fee is greater than $50 million per annum, plus annual inflation adjustments, to maintain a fee level in aggregate that would be the same as prior to the amendment. In connection with the GGP acquisition, the Master Services Agreement was amended so that the base management fee took into account any management fee payable by BPR under its master services agreement with Brookfield Asset Management and certain of its subsidiaries. The base management fee for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $107 million ( 2018 - $83 million , 2017 - $104 million ). The equity enhancement distribution for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $26 million ( 2018 - $1 million , 2017 - $26 million ). In connection with the issuance of Preferred Equity Units to the Class A Preferred Unitholder in 2014, Brookfield Asset Management contingently agreed to acquire the seven-year and ten-year tranches of Preferred Equity Units from the Class A Preferred Unitholder for the initial issuance price plus accrued and unpaid distributions and to exchange such units for Preferred Equity Units with terms and conditions substantially similar to the twelve-year tranche to the extent that the market price of the LP Units is less than 80% of the exchange price at maturity. The following table summarizes transactions and balances with related parties: (US$ Millions) Dec. 31, 2019 Dec. 31, 2018 Balances outstanding with related parties: Participating loan interests $ — $ 268 Net (payables)/receivables within equity accounted investments (81 ) (26 ) Loans and notes receivable (1) 102 54 Receivables and other assets 17 50 Deposit and promissory note from Brookfield Asset Management (2) — (733 ) Property-specific obligations (3) — (231 ) Loans and notes payable and other liabilities (196 ) (50 ) Capital securities held by Brookfield Asset Management (4) — (420 ) Preferred shares held by Brookfield Asset Management (15 ) (15 ) (1) At December 31, 2019 , includes nil ( December 31, 2018 - $54 million ) receivable from Brookfield Asset Management upon the earlier of the partnership’s exercise of its option to convert its participating loan interests into direct ownership of the Australian portfolio or the maturity of the participating loan interests. (2) The deposit and promissory note from Brookfield Asset Management were repaid during the year ended December 31, 2019. (3) The partnership exercised its option to acquire properties in Australia from Brookfield Asset Management during the year, therefore the property-specific obligations are now consolidated.

During the fourth quarter of 2019, the partnership converted its economic interest, through its participating loan agreements, in a portfolio of properties in Australia owned by Brookfield Asset Management into direct ownership interests During the third and fourth quarters of 2019, the partnership sold partial interest in two multifamily developments in Brooklyn, NY and a retail development in Connecticut into the Brookfield Opportunity Zone fund (“BOZ fund”). Upon the final close of BOZ fund in the fourth quarter of 2019, the partnership’s interests in these development assets were diluted, which resulted in the deconsolidation of the assets and accounting for them as a financial asset. During the first quarter of 2018, the partnership along with BPREP acquired a 25% and 75% interest, respectively, in 333 West 34th Street, an office building in New York for $255 million . During the third quarter of 2018, the partnership sold 27.5% of its interest in a portfolio of operating and development assets in New York. The partnership retains control over and continues to consolidate these assets after the sale. The interest was sold to Brookfield Asset Management for consideration of approximately $1.4 billion . During the fourth quarter of 2018, the partnership launched Brookfield Premier Real Estate Partners Pooling LLC Australia (“BPREP Australia”), an open-ended fund. The partnership contributed interests in Jessie Street, 52 Goulburn Street and 680 George Street in Sydney and 235 St Georges Terrace in Perth to BPREP Australia. The partnership’s interest in BPREP Australia is 39% , with the remaining interest of 61% held by external investors. The partnership continues to consolidate the properties contributed to BPREP Australia, except for 680 George Street, which it continues to account for under the equity method. |

Analysis of income and expense [abstract] | |
PAYROLL EXPENSE | PAYROLL EXPENSE The partnership has no employees or directors; therefore the partnership does not remunerate key management personnel. Key decision makers of the partnership are all employees of Brookfield Asset Management, the ultimate parent company, who provide management services under the Master Services Agreement. Throughout the year, the partnership’s general partner incurs director fees, a portion of which are charged to the partnership in accordance with the limited partnership agreement. |

Operating Segments [Abstract] | |
SEGMENT INFORMATION | SEGMENT INFORMATION a) Operating segments IFRS 8, Operating Segments, requires operating segments to be determined based on internal reports that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for the purpose of allocating resources to the segment and to assessing its performance. On July 1, 2018, the partnership realigned its LP Investments segment (formerly referred to as Opportunistic) to include the corporate function of the Brookfield-sponsored real estate opportunity funds, previously included in the Corporate segment, to more closely align with how the partnership now presents financial information to the CODM and investors. All prior period segment disclosures have been recast to reflect the changes in the partnership’s operating segments. The partnership’s operating segments are organized into four reportable segments: i) Core Office, ii) Core Retail, iii) LP Investments and iv) Corporate. These segments are independently and regularly reviewed and managed by the Chief Executive Officer, who is considered the CODM. b) Basis of measurement The CODM measures and evaluates the performance of the partnership’s operating segments based on funds from operations (“FFO”). This performance metric does not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS and therefore may differ from similar metrics used by other companies and organizations. Management believes that while not an IFRS measure, FFO is the most consistent metric to measure the partnership’s financial statements and for the purpose of allocating resources and assessing its performance. The partnership defines FFO as net income, prior to fair value gains, net, depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and income taxes less non-controlling interests of others in operating subsidiaries and properties share of these items. When determining FFO, the partnership also includes its proportionate share of the FFO of unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures and associates. b) Reportable segment measures The following summaries present certain financial information regarding the partnership’s operating segments for the year ended December 31, 2019 , 2018 , and 2017 .

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUN_2
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies) | 12 Months Ended |
Dec. 31, 2019 | |
Disclosure Of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Statement of compliance and Basis of presentation | Basis of presentation These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and are presented in United States (“U.S.”) Dollars rounded to the nearest million unless otherwise indicated. Statement of compliance These consolidated financial statements of the partnership and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors of the partnership on February 4, 2020. |
Subsidiaries | Subsidiaries The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the partnership and its subsidiaries over which the partnership has control. Control exists when the partnership has power over its investee, has exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of its returns. The partnership considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not the partnership’s interests in the investee are sufficient to give it power over the investee. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins on the date on which the partnership obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the partnership loses control over the subsidiary. Income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during a reporting period are consolidated only for the period when the partnership has control over the subsidiary. Changes in the partnership’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in loss of control over the subsidiary are accounted for as equity transactions whereby the difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received, are recognized directly in equity and attributed to owners of the partnership. All accounts and transactions among the partnership and its subsidiaries are eliminated on consolidation. In cases where a subsidiary reports under a different accounting policy, adjustments are made to the financial statements of the subsidiary to present its financial position and results of operations in accordance with the partnership’s accounting policy. Net income and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to owners of the partnership and to non-controlling interests. Non-controlling interests in the partnership’s operating subsidiaries and properties, redeemable/exchangeable partnership units of the operating partnership (“Redeemable/Exchangeable Partnership Units”), special limited partnership units of the operating partnership (“Special LP Units”), limited partnership units of Brookfield Office Properties Exchange LP (“Exchange LP Units”), FV LTIP units of the Operating Partnership (“FV LTIP Units”) and Class A stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Brookfield Property REIT Inc. (“BPR Units”) are presented separately in equity on the consolidated balance sheets. The Redeemable/Exchangeable Partnership Units, Exchange LP Units and BPR Units have the same economic attributes as LP Units. Accordingly, the net income and components of other comprehensive income allocated to these units are equivalent to that allocated to the LP Units (on a per unit basis). Net income and the components of comprehensive income of the partnership’s operating subsidiaries and properties are generally allocated between the partnership and non-controlling equity holders based on the relative proportion of equity interests. Certain of the partnership’s subsidiaries are subject to profit sharing arrangements with affiliated entities who hold non-controlling interests that result in allocation of income on an other than proportionate basis if specified targets are met. In these circumstances, net income is allocated between the partnership and non-controlling interests based on proportionate equity interest until the attribution of profits under the agreement is no longer subject to adjustment based on future events. In the period that allocation of the subsidiary’s cumulative earnings under the profit-sharing arrangement is no longer subject to adjustment, it is recognized as a fair value loss attributable to unitholders for the period. |
Associates and joint ventures | Associates and joint ventures An associate is an entity over which the partnership has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee. The partnership is presumed to have significant influence when it holds 20 percent or more of the voting rights of an investee, unless it can be clearly demonstrated that this is not the case. The partnership does not control its associates. A joint arrangement is an arrangement in which two or more parties have joint control. Joint control is the contractually agreed upon sharing of control where decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. A joint venture is a joint arrangement where the parties that have joint control have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. None of the parties involved have unilateral control of a joint venture. The partnership accounts for its interests in associates and joint ventures using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, investment balances in an associate or joint venture are carried on the consolidated balance sheets at initial cost as adjusted for the partnership’s proportionate share of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the joint venture or associate. When an interest in an associate or joint venture is initially acquired or increases, the partnership determines its share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the investee that it has acquired, consistent with the procedure performed when acquiring control of a business. Goodwill relating to an associate or joint venture, represented as an excess of the cost of the investment over the net fair value of the partnership’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities, is included in the carrying amount of the investment. Any excess of the partnership’s share of the net fair value of the associate’s or joint venture’s identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of the investment results in a gain that is included in the partnership’s share of the associate or joint venture’s profit or loss in the period in which the investment is acquired or increases. The partnership determines at the end of each reporting period whether there exist any indications that an investment may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the partnership estimates the recoverable amount of the asset, which is the higher of (i) fair value less costs to sell and (ii) value in use. Value in use is the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from such an investment and may result in a measure which is different from fair value less costs to sell. For equity accounted investments, for which quoted market prices exist, the partnership also considers whether a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the equity instrument below its carrying value is also objective evidence of impairment. When the partnership transacts with a joint venture or an associate, any gain or loss is eliminated only to the extent of the partnership’s proportionate share and the remaining amounts are recognized in the partnership’s consolidated financial statements. Outstanding balances between the partnership and jointly controlled entities are not eliminated on the balance sheet. |
Joint operations | Joint operations A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to assets and obligations for liabilities relating to the arrangement. This usually results from direct interests in the assets and liabilities of an investee rather than through the establishment of a separate legal entity. None of the parties involved have unilateral control of a joint operation. The partnership recognizes its assets, its liabilities and its share of revenues and expenses of the joint operations in accordance with the IFRS applicable to the particular assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. When the partnership sells or contributes assets to a joint operation in which it is a joint operator, the partnership is considered to be conducting transactions with the other parties to the joint operation, and any gain or loss resulting from the transactions is recognized in the partnership’s consolidated financial statements only to the extent of the other parties’ interests in the joint operation. When the partnership purchases an asset from a joint operation in which it is a joint operator, the partnership does not recognize its share of the gain or loss until those assets are resold to a third party. |
Foreign currency translation | Foreign currency translation and transactions The U.S. Dollar is the functional currency and presentation currency of the partnership. The functional currency of each of the partnership’s subsidiaries, associates, joint ventures and joint operations is determined based on their primary economic environment, the currency in which funds from financing activities are generated and the currency in which receipts from operating activities are usually retained. Subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures having a functional currency other than the U.S. Dollar translate the carrying amounts of their assets and liabilities when reporting to the partnership at the rate of exchange prevailing as of the balance sheet date, and their revenues and expenses at average exchange rates during the quarterly reporting period. Any gains or losses on foreign currency translation are recognized by the partnership in other comprehensive income. On disposition or partial disposition resulting in the loss of control of a foreign operation (i.e., any subsidiary, associate, or joint arrangement of the partnership with a functional currency other than the U.S. Dollar), the accumulated foreign currency translation relating to that foreign operation is reclassified to fair value gain or loss in net income. On partial disposal of a foreign operation in which control is retained, the proportionate share of the accumulated foreign currency translation relating to that foreign operation is reattributed to the non-controlling interests. |
Foreign currency transactions | The partnership’s foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using exchange rates as of the date of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated to the functional currency using the exchange rate prevailing as of the balance sheet date with any gain or loss recognized in net income, except for those related to monetary liabilities qualified as hedges of the partnership’s investment in foreign operations or intercompany loans with foreign operations for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future, which are included in other comprehensive income. Non-monetary assets and liabilities measured at fair value are translated at the exchange rate prevailing as of the date when the fair value was determined. Foreign currency denominated non-monetary assets and liabilities, measured at historic cost, are translated at the rate of exchange at the transaction date. |
Cash and cash equivalents | Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand and all non-restricted highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. |
Investment properties | Investment properties Investment properties consists of commercial properties which are principally held to earn rental income and commercial developments that are being constructed or developed for future use as commercial properties. Investment properties are measured initially at cost, or fair value if acquired in a business combination (see Note 2 (p), Business Combinations , for further discussion). The cost of commercial development properties includes direct development costs, realty taxes, borrowing costs directly attributable to the development and administrative costs, e.g., salaries and overhead that are specifically attributable to a development project. The partnership elects the fair value model for all investment properties and measures them at fair value subsequent to initial recognition on the consolidated balance sheet. As a result, it is not necessary to assess the carrying amounts of the investment properties for impairment. Substantially all of the partnership’s investment properties are valued using one of two accepted income approaches, the discounted cash flow approach or the direct capitalization approach. Under the discounted cash flow approach, cash flows for each property are forecast for an assumed holding period, generally, ten years. A capitalization rate is applied to the terminal year net operating income and an appropriate discount rate is applied to those cash flows to determine a value at the reporting date. Under the direct capitalization method, a capitalization rate is applied to estimated stabilized annual net operating income to determine value. In accordance with its policy, the partnership generally measures and records its commercial properties and developments using valuations prepared by management. However, for certain subsidiaries, the partnership relies on quarterly or annual valuations prepared by external valuation professionals. Where an external appraisal is obtained for a property that is valued using a model developed by management, the partnership compares the results of those external appraisals to its internally prepared values and reconcile significant differences when they arise. Discount and terminal capitalization rates are verified by comparing to market data, third party reports, research material and brokers opinions. Where there has been a recent market transaction for a specific property, such as an acquisition or sale of a partial interest, the partnership values the property on that basis. Borrowing costs associated with direct expenditures on properties under development or redevelopment are capitalized. Borrowing costs are also capitalized on those properties acquired specifically for redevelopment in the short-term where activities necessary to prepare them for redevelopment are in progress. The amount of borrowing costs capitalized is determined first by borrowings specific to a property where relevant, and then by applying a weighted average borrowing cost to eligible expenditures after adjusting for borrowings specific to other developments. Where borrowings are associated with specific developments, the amount capitalized is the gross borrowing costs incurred less any incidental investment income. Borrowing costs are capitalized from the commencement of the development until the date of practical completion. The capitalization of borrowing costs is suspended if there are prolonged periods when development activity is interrupted. The partnership considers practical completion to have occurred when the property is capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Generally this occurs upon completion of construction and receipt of all necessary occupancy and other material permits. Where the partnership has pre-leased space as of or prior to the start of the development and the lease requires the partnership to construct tenant improvements which enhance the value of the property, practical completion is considered to occur on completion of such improvements. Initial direct leasing costs incurred by the partnership in negotiating and arranging tenant leases are included in the cost of investment properties. |
Assets held for sale | Assets held for sale Non-current assets and groups of assets and liabilities which comprise disposal groups are presented as assets held for sale where the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition, and the sale is highly probable. For this purpose, a sale is highly probable if management is committed to a plan to achieve the sale; there is an active program to find a buyer; the non-current asset or disposal group is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; the sale is anticipated to be completed within one year from the date of classification; and it is unlikely there will be significant changes to the plan or that the plan will be withdrawn. Non-current assets and disposal groups held for sale that are not investment properties are recorded at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell on the consolidated balance sheet. Any gain or loss arising from the change in measurement basis as a result of reclassification is recognized in the profit or loss at the time of reclassification. Investment properties that are held for sale are recorded at fair value determined in accordance with IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement . Where a component of an entity has been disposed of, or is classified as held for sale, and it represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale, the related results of operations and gain or loss on reclassification or disposition are presented in discontinued operations. |
Hospitality assets | Hospitality assets The partnership accounts for its investments in hospitality properties as property, plant and equipment under the revaluation model. Hospitality properties are recognized initially at cost if acquired in an asset acquisition, or fair value if acquired in a business combination (see Note 2 (p), Business Combinations , for further discussion) and subsequently carried at fair value at the revaluation date less any accumulated impairment and subsequent accumulated depreciation. The partnership depreciates these assets on a straight-line basis over their relevant estimated useful lives. Fair values of hospitality properties are determined using a depreciated replacement cost method based on the age, physical condition and the construction costs of the assets. Fair value estimates for hospitality properties represent the estimated fair value of the property, plant and equipment of the hospitality business only and do not include any associated intangible assets. Revaluations of hospitality properties are performed annually at December 31, the end of the fiscal year. Where the carrying amount of an asset is increased as a result of a revaluation, the increase is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity within revaluation surplus, unless the increase reverses a previously recognized revaluation loss recorded through prior period net income, in which case that portion of the increase is recognized in net income. Where the carrying amount of an asset is decreased, the decrease is recognized in other comprehensive income to the extent of any balance existing in revaluation surplus in respect of the asset, with the remainder recognized in net income. Revaluation gains are recognized in other comprehensive income, and are not subsequently recycled into profit or loss. The cumulative revaluation surplus is transferred directly to retained earnings when the asset is derecognized. Certain of the partnership’s hospitality assets are right-of-use assets arising from leases where the partnership is the lessee, which are subsequently measured on a depreciated cost basis since they represent a separate class of property, plant and equipment to the partnership’s owned hospitality assets (see Note 2 (j), Leases , for further discussion). |
Inventory | Inventory Develop-for-sale multifamily projects, residential development lots, homes and residential condominium projects are recorded in inventory. Residential development lots are recorded at the lower of cost, including pre-development expenditures and capitalized borrowing costs, and net realizable value, which the company determines as the estimated selling price of the inventory in the ordinary course of business in its completed state, less estimated expenses, including holding costs, costs to complete and costs to sell. Certain of the partnership’s inventory are right-of-use assets arising from leases where the partnership is the lessee, which are subsequently measured at cost subject to impairment (see Note 2 (j), Leases , for further discussion). |
Fair value measurement | Fair value measurement Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the partnership takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability and how market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Inputs to fair value measurement techniques are disaggregated into three hierarchical levels, which are directly based on the degree to which inputs to fair value measurement techniques are observable by market participants: • Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. • Level 2 – Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the asset’s or liability’s anticipated life. • Level 3 – Inputs are unobservable and reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs in determining the estimate. Fair value measurements are adopted by the partnership to calculate the carrying amounts of various assets and liabilities. |
Intangible assets | Intangible assets Intangible assets acquired in a business combination and recognized separately from goodwill are initially recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. The partnership’s intangible assets are comprised primarily of trademarks and licensing agreements. Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets with a finite life are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the intangible asset and is recognized in net income for the respective reporting period. Intangible assets with an indefinite life are measured at cost as adjusted for subsequent impairment. Impairment tests for intangible assets with an indefinite life are performed annually. Impairment losses previously taken may be subsequently reversed in net income of future reporting periods. |
Goodwill | Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the acquisition price paid for a business combination over the fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired. Upon initial recognition, goodwill is allocated to the cash-generating unit to which it relates. The partnership identifies a cash-generating unit as the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or group of assets. The partnership evaluates the carrying amount of goodwill annually as of December 31 or more often when events or circumstances indicate there may be an impairment. The partnership’s goodwill impairment test is performed at the cash-generating unit level. If assets within a cash-generating unit or the cash-generating unit are impaired, impairments are taken for those assets or the cash-generating unit before any goodwill impairment test is performed. In assessing whether goodwill is impaired, the partnership assesses if the carrying value of a cash-generating unit, including the allocated goodwill, exceeds its recoverable amount determined as the greater of the estimated fair value less costs to sell and the present value of future cash flows expected from the cash-generating unit. Impairment losses recognized first reduce the carrying value of goodwill and any excess is allocated to the carrying amount of assets in the cash-generating unit. Any goodwill impairment is charged to net income in the respective reporting period. Impairment losses on goodwill are not subsequently reversed. On disposal of a subsidiary, any attributable amount of goodwill is included in determination of the gain or loss on disposal. |
Financial instruments and hedge accounting, Classification and measurement | Financial instruments and hedge accounting The partnership adopted IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) and the related consequential amendments to other IFRS standards effective January 1, 2018. IFRS 9 introduced new requirements for: 1) the classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities; 2) impairment of financial assets; and 3) general hedge accounting. The partnership adopted IFRS 9 retrospectively with no restatement of comparatives. The adoption did not result in any material adjustment to the carrying amounts of financial assets, financial liabilities or opening retained earnings. (i) Classification and measurement Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized in the partnership’s balance sheet when the partnership becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss. All recognized financial assets are measured subsequently in their entirety at either amortized cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets. Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortized cost where the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Debt instruments are measured subsequently at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”) where the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets and its contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. By default, all other financial assets are measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”). Despite the foregoing, the partnership may make an irrevocable election/designation at initial recognition of a financial asset to present subsequent changes in fair value of an equity investment in other or to designate a debt investment that meets the amortized cost or FVTOCI criteria as measured at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch. Debt and equity instruments issued by the partnership are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument. Equity instruments issued by the partnership that meet the definition of a financial liability are presented within capital securities on the partnership’s consolidated balance sheets. All financial liabilities are measured subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest method or at FVTPL. Financial liabilities are measured at FVTPL when they are (i) contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination, (ii) held‑for‑trading, or (iii) designated as at FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as held for trading if it has been acquired principally for the purpose of repurchasing it in the near term, or on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that is managed together and has a recent actual pattern of short‑term profit‑taking or it is a derivative, except for a derivative that is a financial guarantee contract or a designated and effective hedging instrument. A financial liability other than a financial liability held for trading or contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination may be designated as at FVTPL in limited circumstances specified in IFRS 9. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss to the extent that they are not part of a designated hedging relationship. The following table presents the types of financial instruments held by the partnership within each financial instrument classification under IFRS 9: IAS 39 IFRS 9 Classification Measurement basis Classification and measurement basis Financial assets Participating loan interests Loans and receivables Amortized cost FVTPL Loans and notes receivable Loans and receivables Amortized cost Amortized cost Other non-current assets Securities designated as fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”) FVTPL Fair value FVTPL Derivative assets FVTPL Fair value FVTPL Securities designated as AFS AFS Fair value FVTOCI Restricted cash Loans and receivables Amortized cost Amortized cost Accounts receivable and other Derivative assets FVTPL Fair value FVTPL Other receivables Loans and receivables Amortized cost Amortized cost Cash and cash equivalents Loans and receivables Amortized cost Amortized cost Financial liabilities Debt obligations Other liabilities Amortized cost Amortized cost Capital securities Other liabilities Amortized cost Amortized cost Capital securities - fund subsidiaries Other liabilities Fair value FVTPL Other non-current liabilities Loan payable FVTPL Fair value FVTPL Other non-current financial liabilities Other liabilities Amortized cost Amortized cost Derivative liabilities FVTPL Fair value FVTPL Accounts payable and other liabilities Other liabilities Amortized cost Amortized cost The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts or payments (including transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) excluding expected credit losses, through the expected life of the instrument to the gross carrying amount of the debt instrument on initial recognition. Amortized cost is the amount at which the financial instrument is measured at initial recognition minus the principal repayments, plus the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method of any difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount, adjusted for any loss allowance (in the case of financial assets). Financial instruments carried at fair value give rise to fair value gains or losses in each reporting period. Fair values of those financial instruments are determined by reference to quoted bid or ask prices or prices within the bid ask spread, as appropriate, and when unavailable, to the closing price of the most recent transaction of that instrument. Fair values of certain financial instruments also incorporate significant use of unobservable inputs which reflect the partnership’s market assumptions. Fair value gains and losses on FVOCI financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income. Fair value gains and losses on financial instruments designated as FVTPL are recognized in fair value gains, net. |
Financial instruments and hedge accounting, Impairment of financial instruments | Impairment of financial instruments The partnership recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses (“ECL”) on debt instruments that are measured at amortized cost or at FVTOCI and other receivables. The amount of expected credit losses is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the respective financial instrument. For debt instruments, the partnership recognizes lifetime ECL when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If the credit risk on the financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the loss allowance for that financial instrument is measured at an amount equal to 12‑month ECL. Lifetime ECL represents the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. In contrast, 12‑month ECL represents the portion of lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date. The partnership always recognizes lifetime ECL for other receivables. Any related loss allowances are recorded through profit or loss. |
Financial instruments and hedge accounting, Derivatives and hedging | Derivatives and hedging The partnership enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange rate risks, including foreign exchange forward contracts, options, interest rate swaps and interest rate caps. Derivatives are recognized initially at fair value at the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at each reporting date. The resulting gain or loss is recognized in net income immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which event the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedge relationship. The partnership designates certain derivatives as hedging instruments in respect of foreign currency risk and interest rate risk in cash flow hedges, fair value hedges, or hedges of net investments in foreign operations. The partnership also applies hedge accounting to certain non-derivative financial instruments designated as hedges of net investments in foreign subsidiaries. Hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively when the hedge relationship is terminated or no longer qualifies as a hedge, or when the hedging item is sold or terminated. In a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the change in the fair value of the hedging derivative is recognized in other comprehensive income while the ineffective portion is recognized in fair value gains, net. Hedging gains and losses recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income are reclassified to net income in the periods when the hedged item affects net income, or recognized as part of the transaction price when the hedged transaction occurs. The partnership discontinues hedge accounting only when the hedging relationship (or a part thereof) ceases to meet the qualifying criteria. This includes instances when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised. The discontinuation is accounted for prospectively. Any gain or loss recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the cash flow hedge reserve at that time remains in equity and is reclassified to profit or loss when the forecast transaction occurs. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the gain or loss accumulated in cash flow hedge reserve is reclassified immediately to net income. In a fair value hedge relationship, the fair value change on a qualifying hedging instrument is recognized in profit or loss except when the hedging instrument hedges an equity instrument designated at FVTOCI in which case it is recognized in other comprehensive income. The carrying amount of a hedged item not already measured at fair value is adjusted for the fair value change attributable to the hedged risk with a corresponding entry in profit or loss. Where hedging gains or losses are recognized in profit or loss, they are recognized in the same line as the hedged item. The partnership discontinues hedge accounting only when the hedging relationship (or a part thereof) ceases to meet the qualifying criteria). This includes instances when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised. The discontinuation is accounted for prospectively. The fair value adjustment to the carrying amount of the hedged item arising from the hedged risk is amortized to profit or loss from that date. In a net investment hedging relationship, the effective portion of the fair value of the hedging instruments is recognized in other comprehensive income and the ineffective portion is recognized in net income. The amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income are reclassified to net income, together with the related cumulative translation gain or loss, when there is a disposition or partial disposition that results in the loss of control of foreign operations or the derivatives are not part of any other hedge relationships. The partnership adopted Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - Amendments to IFRS 9, and IFRS 7, issued by the IASB in September 2019, (“IBOR Amendments”) effective October 1, 2019 in advance of its January 1, 2020 mandatory effective date. The IBOR Amendments have been applied retrospectively to hedging relationships existing at the start of the reporting period or designated subsequently, and to the amount accumulated in the cash flow hedge reserve at that date. The IBOR Amendments provide temporary relief from applying specific hedge accounting requirements to the partnership’s hedging relationships that are directly affected by IBOR reform, which primarily include US$ LIBOR, £ LIBOR, and € EURIBOR. The reliefs have the effect that IBOR reform should not generally cause hedge accounting to terminate. In assessing whether a hedge is expected to be highly effective on a forward-looking basis, the partnership assumes the interest rate benchmark on which the cash flows of the derivative which hedges borrowings is not altered by IBOR reform. These reliefs cease to apply to a hedged item or hedging instrument as applicable at the earlier of (i) when the uncertainty arising from IBOR reform is no longer present with respect to the timing and amount of the interest rate benchmark based future cash flows, and (ii) when the hedging relationship is discontinued. There was no impact since these amendments enable the partnership to continue hedge accounting for hedging relationships which have been previously designated. It is currently expected that Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) will replace US$ LIBOR, Sterling Overnight Index Average (“SONIA”) will replace £ LIBOR, and Euro Short-term Rate (“€STR”) will replace EURIBOR. All of these are expected to become effective prior to December 31, 2021. The partnership is currently finalizing and implementing its transition plan to address the impact and effect changes as a result of amendments to the contractual terms of IBOR referenced floating-rate borrowings, interest rate swaps, and interest rate caps. Note 35 , Financial Instruments provides details of the hedging instruments and hedged exposures to which the IBOR Amendments are applied. |
Income taxes | Income taxes The partnership is a flow-through entity for tax purposes and as such is not subject to Bermudian taxation. However, income tax expenses are recognized for taxes payable by holding entities and their direct or indirect corporate subsidiaries. Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be paid to tax authorities by the holding entities in respect of the partnership or directly by the partnership’s taxable subsidiaries, net of recoveries, based on the tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred income tax liabilities are provided for using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax basis used in the computation of taxable income and carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that deductions, tax credits and tax losses will be utilized. The carrying amounts of deferred income tax assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent it is no longer probable that the income tax asset will be recovered. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability settled, based on the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. |
Provisions | Provisions A provision is a liability of uncertain timing or amount. Provisions are recognized when the partnership has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the partnership will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. Provisions are re-measured at each balance sheet date using the current discount rate. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense. |
Business combinations | Business combinations The partnership adopted the Amendments to IFRS 3, Business Combinations (“IFRS 3 Amendments”) for business combinations or asset acquisitions occurring after January 1, 2019 in advance of its mandatory effective date January 1, 2020. IFRS 3 Amendments clarifies the definition of a business in determining whether an acquisition is a business combination or an asset acquisition. It has removed the assessment of whether market participants are capable of replacing any missing inputs or processes and continuing to produce outputs and the reference to an ability to reduce costs, and requires, at a minimum, the acquired set of activities and assets to include an input and a substantive process to meet the definition of a business. IFRS 3 Amendments also provides for an optional concentration test to assess whether substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. The partnership has adopted the amendments prospectively. Following the adoption of the IFRS 3 Amendments, the partnership continues to account for business combinations in which control is acquired under the acquisition method. When an acquisition is made, the partnership considers the inputs, processes and outputs of the acquiree in assessing whether it meets the definition of a business. When the acquired set of activities and assets lack a substantive process, the acquisition fails to meet the definition of a business and is accounted for as asset acquisition. Assets acquired through asset acquisitions are initially measured at cost, which includes the transaction costs incurred for the acquisitions. For business combinations, consideration is the aggregate of the fair values, at the date of exchange, of assets transferred, liabilities incurred by the partnership to the former owners, and equity instruments issued in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisitions related costs are recognized in net income as incurred. At the acquisition date, the partnership recognizes the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition-date fair values, except for non-current assets classified as held-for-sale, which are recognized at fair value less costs to sell, and deferred tax assets or liabilities, which are measured in accordance with IAS 12, Income Taxes. The partnership also evaluates whether there are intangible assets acquired that have not previously been recognized by the acquiree and recognizes them as identifiable intangible assets. For business combinations, non-controlling shareholders’ interests in the acquiree are initially measured at either fair value or their proportionate share of acquiree’s identifiable assets if the non-controlling interest represents a present ownership interest that entitles its holder to a proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets. Other components of non-controlling interests in acquirees are recognized at fair value. Goodwill for a business combination is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non‑controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the acquisition date values of the net assets acquired. If, after reassessment, the value of the net assets acquired exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non‑controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognized immediately in net income as a bargain purchase gain. Where a business combination is achieved in stages, previously held interests in the acquired entity are re-measured to fair value at the acquisition date, which is the date control is obtained, and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognized in net income. Amounts arising from interests in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date that have previously been recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to net income. Changes in the partnership’s ownership interest of an investee that do not result in a change of control are accounted for as equity transactions and are recorded as a component of equity. Acquisition costs are recorded as an expense in the reporting period as incurred. Measurement period adjustments for business combinations are adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during the ‘measurement period’ (which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date) about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date. If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the business combination occurs, the partnership reports provisional amounts for items for where the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period, or additional assets or liabilities are recognized, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognized as of that date. |
Revenue recognition | Revenue recognition The partnership adopted IFRS 15, R evenue from Contracts with Customers (“IFRS 15”) effective January 1, 2018. IFRS 15 specifies how and when revenue should be recognized as well as requiring more informative and relevant disclosures. The standard also requires additional disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. The standard supersedes IAS 18, Revenue , IAS 11, Construction Contracts and a number of revenue-related interpretations. IFRS 15 applies to nearly all contracts with customers: the main exceptions are leases, financial instruments and insurance contracts. The partnership’s revenue from leases is outside the scope of IFRS 15. The partnership’s material revenue streams subject to IFRS 15 are hospitality revenue and non-lease components within lease arrangements arising from the recovery of certain operating expenses from tenants. The adoption of IFRS 15 did not result in any material change to the pattern of revenue recognition by the partnership. The partnership adopted the standard using the modified retrospective approach with no restatement of comparatives and did not record any adjustment upon adoption. The partnership made additional disclosures in Note 23 , Commercial Property Revenue , Note 24 , Hospitality Revenue and Note 39 , Segment Information , as a result of the adoption. Following the adoption of IFRS 15, the partnership has separately disclosed other revenue from tenants in Note 23 , Commercial Property Revenue , which consists of non-lease components within lease arrangements arising from the recovery of certain operating expenses from tenants which are accounted for in accordance with IFRS 15. Other revenue from tenants is recognized when the partnership has satisfied its performance obligation by delivering services as agreed upon in the lease agreements to tenants at an amount equal to the component of revenue allocated to such performance obligation. The recognition pattern of hospitality revenue is not impacted upon adoption of IFRS 15. The partnership adopted IFRS 16, effective January 1, 2019. It supersedes IAS 17, and its related interpretations, (see Note 2 (j), Leases , for further discussion). IFRS 16 does not change substantially how the partnership as lessor accounts for leases. Under IFRS 16, lessor accounting remains largely unchanged and the distinction between operating and finance leases is retained. The partnership made additional disclosures in Note 23 , Commercial Property Revenue , as a result of the adoption of IFRS 16. (i) Commercial property revenue Revenue from investment properties is presented within commercial property revenue on the consolidated statements of income. The partnership has retained substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of its investment properties and therefore accounts for leases with its tenants as operating leases. Revenue recognition under a lease commences when the tenant has a right to use the leased asset. Generally, this occurs on the lease commencement date or, where the partnership is required to make additions to the property in the form of tenant improvements to enhance the value of the property, upon substantial completion of those improvements. The total amount of contractual rents expected from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, including contractual base rent and subsequent rent increases as a result of rent escalation clauses. A rent receivable, included within the carrying amount of investment properties, is used to record the difference between the rental revenue recorded and the contractual amount received. Rental receivables and related revenue also includes percentage participating rents and recoveries of operating expenses. However, recoveries of operating expenses related to property taxes and insurance are deemed as other rental revenue. Percentage participating rents are recognized when tenants’ specified sales targets have been met. Operating expense recoveries classified as rental income or non-rental income are recognized in the period that recoverable costs are chargeable to tenants. Where a tenant is legally responsible for operating expenses and pays them directly in accordance with the terms of the lease, the partnership does not recognize the expenses or any related recovery revenue. Under IFRS 16, where the partnership is the intermediate lessor, it accounts for the head lease and the sublease as two separate contracts, classifying the sublease as a finance or operating lease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease. (ii) Hospitality revenue Revenue from hospitality properties is presented within hospitality revenue on the consolidated statements of income. Room, food and beverage and other revenues are recognized as services are provided. The partnership recognizes room revenue net of taxes and levies. Advance deposits are deferred and included as a liability until services are provided to the customer. The partnership recognizes net wins from casino gaming activities (the difference between gaming wins and losses) as gaming revenue. The partnership recognizes liabilities for funds deposited by patrons before gaming play occurs and for chips in the patrons’ possession, both of which are included in accounts payable and other liabilities. Revenue and expenses from tour operations include the sale of travel and leisure packages and are recognized on the first day the travel package is in use. (iii) Performance and management fee revenue Fee revenue is presented on the consolidated statements of income within investment and other revenue. Fee revenue is recognized when services are provided and the amount can be estimated reliably. |
Unit-based compensation | Unit-based compensation The partnership and its subsidiaries issue unit-based awards to certain employees and non-employee directors of certain subsidiaries. The cost of cash-settled unit-based transactions, comprised of unit options, deferred share units and restricted share units, is measured as the fair value at the grant date and expensed on a proportionate basis over the vesting period. The corresponding accrued liability is measured at each reporting date at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The cost of equity-settled unit-based transactions, comprised of unit options and restricted units, is determined as the fair value of the award on the grant date. The cost of equity-settled unit-based transactions is recognized as each tranche vests and is recorded within equity. |
Redeemable/Exchangeable Partnership Units | Redeemable/Exchangeable Partnership Units The Redeemable/Exchangeable Partnership Units may, at the request of the holder, be redeemed in whole or in part, for cash in an amount equal to the market value of one of the partnership’s LP Units multiplied by the number of units to be redeemed (subject to certain adjustments). This right is subject to the partnership’s right, at its sole discretion, to elect to acquire any unit presented for redemption in exchange for one of the partnership’s LP Units (subject to certain customary adjustments). If the partnership elects not to exchange the Redeemable/Exchangeable Partnership Units for LP Units, Redeemable/Exchangeable Partnership Units are required to be redeemed for cash. The Redeemable/Exchangeable Partnership Units provide the holder the direct economic benefits and exposures to the underlying performance of the operating partnership and accordingly to the variability of the distributions of the operating partnership, whereas the partnership’s unitholders have indirect access to the economic benefits and exposures of the operating partnership through direct ownership interest in the partnership which owned a direct interest in the managing general partnership interest. Accordingly, the Redeemable/Exchangeable Partnership Units have been presented within non-controlling interests on the consolidated balance sheets. The Redeemable/Exchangeable Partnership Units do not entail a contractual obligation on the part of the partnership to deliver cash and can be settled by the partnership, at its sole discretion, by issuing a fixed number of its own equity instruments. |
BPR | BPR Units BPR Units may, at the request of the holder, be redeemed in whole or in part, for cash in an amount equal to the market value of one of the partnership’s LP Units multiplied by the number of units to be redeemed (subject to certain adjustments). This right is subject to the partnership’s right, at its sole discretion, to satisfy the redemption request with its LP Units, rather than cash, on a one-for-one basis. The BPR Units provide the holder with direct economic benefits and exposures to Brookfield Properties REIT Inc. (“BPR”) and accordingly to the variability of the distributions of BPR. Accordingly, the BPR Units have been presented within non-controlling interests on the consolidated balance sheets. The BPR Units do not entail a contractual obligation on the part of the partnership to deliver cash and can be settled by the partnership, at its sole discretion, by issuing a fixed number of its own equity instruments. |
Earnings per limited partnership unit | Earnings per limited partnership unit The partnership calculates basic earnings per unit by dividing net income attributable to limited partners by the weighted average number of LP Units outstanding during the period. As the Redeemable/Exchangeable Partnership Units, Exchange LP Units and BPR Units are allocated net income equivalent to that allocated to LP Units, net income attributable to limited partners is determined based on the weighted average proportionate share of LP Units outstanding compared to the total number of LP Units, Redeemable/Exchangeable Partnership Units, Exchange LP Units and BPR Unit outstanding. The impact of the potential conversion of mandatorily convertible preferred shares, such as the exchangeable preferred equity securities (“Preferred Equity Units”) issued to a third party investor (“the Class A Preferred Unitholder”), is included in the calculation of the weighted average number of LP Units outstanding during the period without an add back to net income attributable to limited partners of the associated carry on such preferred shares. Refer to Note 17 , Capital Securities , for further discussion of the Preferred Equity Units. The partnership also calculates diluted earnings per unit by adjusting net income attributable to limited partners and the weighted average number of LP Units outstanding to reflect the impact of dilutive financial instruments. The calculation of diluted earnings per LP Unit of the partnership includes the dilutive impact of securities issued by the partnership’s subsidiaries that are convertible into LP Units of the partnership, as well as options granted to employees pursuant to the BPY Plan. |
Critical judgments and estimates in applying accounting policies | Critical judgments and estimates in applying accounting policies The preparation of the partnership’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make critical judgments, 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 that are not readily apparent from other sources, during the reporting period. These estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Critical judgments and estimates made by management and utilized in the normal course of preparing the partnership’s consolidated financial statements are outlined below. (i) Control In determining whether the partnership has power over an investee, the partnership makes judgments in identifying relevant activities that would significantly affect the returns of an investee, in assessing the partnership’s voting rights or other contractual rights that would give it power to unilaterally make decisions, and in assessing rights held by other stakeholders which might give them decision-making authority. In assessing if the partnership has exposure or rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, the partnership makes judgments concerning the variability of the returns from an investee based on the substance of the arrangement, the absolute and relative size of those returns. In determining if the partnership has the ability to use its power to affect its returns in an investee, the partnership makes judgments in assessing whether it is acting as a principal or agent in decision-making and whether another entity with decision-making rights is acting as an agent for the partnership. Where other stakeholders have decision making authority, the partnership makes judgments as to whether its decision-making rights provide it with control, joint control or significant influence over the investee. In addition to the above, the partnership makes judgments in respect of joint arrangements that are carried on through a separate vehicle in determining whether the partnership’s interest represents an interest in the assets and liabilities of the arrangement (a joint operation) or in its net assets (a joint venture). (ii) Attribution of net income Certain of the partnership’s subsidiaries are subject to profit sharing arrangements between the partnership and the non-controlling equity holders. In determining whether the attribution of profits is subject to uncertainty, the partnership makes the judgment in considering a variety of factors, including but not limited to uncertainties arising from future events, timing of anticipated acquisition, disposition and financing activities, as well as past events of similar nature. (iii) Common control transactions The purchase and sale of businesses or subsidiaries between entities under common control fall outside the scope of IFRS and accordingly, management uses judgment when determining a policy to account for such transactions taking into consideration other guidance in the IFRS framework and pronouncements of other standard-setting bodies. (iv) Business combinations Judgment is applied in determining whether an acquisition is a business combination or an asset acquisition by considering the nature of the assets acquired and the processes applied to those assets, or if the integrated set of assets and activities is capable of being conducted and managed for the purpose of providing a return to investors or other owners. Judgment is also applied in identifying acquired assets and assumed liabilities and determining their fair values. (v) Investment properties In applying relevant accounting policies, judgment is made in determining whether certain costs are additions to the carrying amount of the property, in identifying the point at which practical completion of the development property occurs, and in identifying borrowing costs directly attributable to the carrying amount of the development property. In certain instances, on a case by case basis, the partnership applies judgment in determining whether a significant amount of development activities undertaken would trigger the reclassification of an operating property to a development property. The key valuation assumptions in determining the fair value of investment properties include discount rates and terminal capitalization rates for properties valued using a discounted cash flow model and capitalization rates for properties valued using a direct capitalization approach. Management also uses assumptions and estimates in determining expected future cash flows in discounted cash flow models and stabilized net operating income used in values determined using the direct capitalization approach. Properties under active development are recorded at fair value using a discounted cash flow model which includes estimates in respect of the timing and cost to complete the development. (vi) Investments in Australia Prior to the conversion of the participating loan interests in the fourth quarter of 2019, the partnership had an economic interest in a portfolio of properties in Australia owned by Brookfield Asset Management in the form of participating loan agreements that provided the partnership with an interest in the results of operations and changes in fair values of the properties in the Australian portfolio. These participating loan interests were convertible by the partnership at any time into direct ownership interests in either the properties in the Australian portfolio or the entities that had direct ownership of the property (the “property subsidiaries”). The critical judgments made in the accounting for this investment relate to the partnership’s determination that the economic interests held by the partnership in certain entities within the Australian portfolio represented controlling interests in those entities, the determination of unit of account where related financial instruments had been entered into in contemplation of each other, the recognition of certain amounts paid to the partnership’s parent as financial assets or equity transactions, and the measurement of assets and liabilities recognized as a result of transactions with entities under common control. As a result of these judgments, the partnership had accounted for its interests in certain property subsidiaries as a controlling interest in a subsidiary or an equity accounted interest in a jointly controlled entity. Interests in other properties and entities were accounted for as participating loan notes that give rise to interest income reflecting the results of operations of the underlying property and gain or losses on an embedded derivative that corresponded to the property’s change in fair value. (vii) Assets held for sale The partnership’s accounting policies relating to assets held for sale are described in Note 2 (f), Assets Held for Sale . In applying this policy, judgment is applied in determining whether sale of certain assets is highly probable, which is a necessary condition for being presented within assets held for sale. (viii) Revaluation of hospitality assets When determining the carrying amounts under the revaluation method, the partnership uses the following critical assumptions and estimates: estimates of replacement cost and estimates of remaining economic life. (ix) Income taxes In applying relevant accounting policies, judgments are made in determining the probability of whether deductions, tax credits and tax losses can be utilized. In addition, the consolidated financial statements include estimates and assumptions for determining the future tax rates applicable to subsidiaries and identifying the temporary differences that relate to each subsidiary. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply during the period when the assets are realized or the liabilities settled, using the tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted at the consolidated balance sheet dates. The partnership measures deferred income taxes associated with its investment properties based on its specific intention with respect to each asset at the end of the reporting period. Where the partnership has a specific intention to sell a property in the foreseeable future, deferred taxes on the building portion of the investment property are measured based on the tax consequences following from the disposition of the property. Otherwise, deferred taxes are measured on the basis that the carrying value of the investment property will be recovered substantially through use. Judgment is required in determining the manner in which the carrying amount of each investment property will be recovered. The partnership also makes judgments with respect to the taxation of gains inherent in its investments in foreign subsidiaries and joint ventures. While the partnership believes that the recovery of its original investment in these foreign subsidiaries and joint ventures will not result in additional taxes, certain unremitted gains inherent in those entities could be subject to foreign taxes depending on the manner of realization. (x) Leases In applying its accounting policy for recognition of lease revenue, the partnership makes judgments with respect to whether tenant improvements provided in connection with a lease enhance the value of the leased property, which in turn is used to determine whether these amounts are treated as additions to operating property and the point in time to recognize revenue under the lease. In addition, where a lease allows a tenant to elect to take all or a portion of any unused tenant improvement allowance as a rent abatement, the partnership must exercise judgment in determining the extent to which the allowance represents an inducement that is amortized as a reduction of lease revenue over the term of the lease. The partnership also makes judgments in determining whether certain leases, in particular those tenant leases with long contractual terms where the lessee is the sole tenant in a property and long-term ground leases where the partnership is lessor, are operating or finance leases. The partnership has determined most of its leases are operating leases, with several finance leases that are not material. Where operating costs are paid directly by tenants, the partnership exercises judgment in determining whether those costs are expenses of the partnership or the tenant which impacts the extent to which operating costs recovery revenue is recognized. The partnership has applied critical judgments in the application of IFRS 16, including: i) identifying whether a contract (or part of a contract) includes a lease; ii) determining whether it is reasonably certain that a lease extension or termination option will be exercised in determining lease term; iii) determining the classification of lease agreements for lessor leases; iv) determining whether variable payments are in-substance fixed; v) establishing whether there are multiple leases in an arrangement; and vi) determining the fair value method of ROU assets classified as investment properties. As lessor, the partnership also makes judgments in determining whether certain leases are operating or finance leases. The partnership uses critical estimates in the application of IFRS 16, including the estimation of lease term and determination of the appropriate rate to discount the lease payments. (xi) Financial instruments The critical judgments inherent in the relevant accounting policies relate to the classification of financial assets or financial liabilities, designation of financial instruments as FVTOCI or FVTPL, the assessment of the effectiveness of hedging relationships, the determination of whether the partnership has significant influence over investees with which it has contractual relationships, and the identification of embedded derivatives subject to fair value measurement in certain hybrid instruments. Estimates and assumptions used in determining the fair value of financial instruments are: equity and commodity prices; future interest rates; the credit risk of the partnership and its counterparties; amount and timing of estimated future cash flows; discount rates and volatility utilized in option valuations. The partnership holds other financial instruments that represent equity interests in investment property entities that are measured at fair value as these financial instruments are designated as FVTPL or FVTOCI. Estimation of the fair value of these instruments is also subject to the estimates and assumptions associated with investment properties. The fair value of interest rate caps is determined based on generally accepted pricing models using quoted market interest rates for the appropriate term. Interest rate swaps are valued at the present value of estimated future cash flows and discounted based on applicable yield curves derived from market interest rates. (xii) Indicators of impairment Judgment is applied when determining whether indicators of impairment exist when assessing the carrying values of the partnership’s assets for potential impairment. Consideration is given to a combination of factors, including but not limited to forecasts of revenues and expenses, values derived from publicly traded prices, and projections of market trends and economic environments. Judgment is also applied when quantifying the amount of impairment loss where indicators of impairment exist. (xiii) Other critical judgments Other critical judgments utilized in the preparation of the partnership’s consolidated financial statements are: assets’ recoverable amounts; assets’ net realizable values; depreciation and amortization rates and assets’ useful lives; determination of assets held for sale and discontinued operations; impairment of goodwill and intangible assets; the determination of functional currency; the likelihood and timing of anticipated transactions for hedge accounting; and the selection of accounting policies, among others. (xiv) Future accounting policies |
Description of accounting policy for segment reporting | Operating segments IFRS 8, Operating Segments, requires operating segments to be determined based on internal reports that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for the purpose of allocating resources to the segment and to assessing its performance. On July 1, 2018, the partnership realigned its LP Investments segment (formerly referred to as Opportunistic) to include the corporate function of the Brookfield-sponsored real estate opportunity funds, previously included in the Corporate segment, to more closely align with how the partnership now presents financial information to the CODM and investors. All prior period segment disclosures have been recast to reflect the changes in the partnership’s operating segments. The partnership’s operating segments are organized into four reportable segments: i) Core Office, ii) Core Retail, iii) LP Investments and iv) Corporate. These segments are independently and regularly reviewed and managed by the Chief Executive Officer, who is considered the CODM. |
Description of accounting policy for leases [text block] | Leases The partnership adopted IFRS 16, Leases (“IFRS 16”) effective January 1, 2019. It supersedes IAS 17, Leases (“IAS 17”) and related interpretations. IFRS 16 brings most leases on-balance sheet as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities for lessees under a single model, eliminating the distinction between operating and finance leases. Lessor accounting remains largely unchanged (see Note 2 (q), Revenue Recognition for further discussion). The partnership has applied IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach and comparative periods are not restated. The adoption of IFRS 16 resulted in the recognition of lease liabilities for those leases previously classified as operating leases of $873 million , ROU assets of $721 million that are classified as investment properties, $122 million that are classified as property, plant and equipment, $22 million that are classified as inventory and an immaterial impact to equity. These amounts do not include the lease liabilities and ROU assets of certain investments that were deconsolidated by the partnership on January 31, 2019. See Note 5 , Investment Properties for further information. In applying IFRS 16 for the first time, the partnership has applied the following practical expedients permitted by the standard on a lease-by-lease basis. These practical expedients are only available upon adoption and cannot be applied for any new lease executed after adoption: • the accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as of January 1, 2019 as short-term leases; • the exclusion of initial direct costs for the measurement of the ROU assets; • the use of hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease; and • adjusting the measurement of the ROU assets by the amount of any provision for onerous leases recognized under IAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets (“IAS 37”). The partnership has also elected not to reassess whether a contract is or contains a lease. Accordingly, the definition of a lease in accordance with IAS 17 and IFRIC 4, Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease (“IFRIC 4”) will continue to be applied to leases entered into or modified before January 1, 2019. Lease obligations at December 31, 2018 were as follows, as disclosed in the partnership’s annual report on Form 20-F for the year-ended December 31, 2018: (US$ Millions) Dec. 31, 2018 Less than 1 year $ 104 1-5 years 401 More than 5 years 5,631 Total 6,136 The lease obligations as disclosed in the table above included leases that are classified as finance leases, short-term leases and low-value leases, which are immaterial. It also included operating leases held by certain investments that were deconsolidated as of January 31, 2019. The partnership calculated the lease liabilities for the operating leases by discounting the future lease obligations at the respective incremental borrowing rates at the date of initial adoption. The weighted average lessee’s incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities recognized at the date of initial adoption was 6.8% . Total lease liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2019 consists of $43 million current lease liabilities and $889 million non-current lease liabilities. For the year ended December 31, 2019 , ROU assets of $752 million that are classified as investment properties, $175 million that are classified as property, plant and equipment, $31 million that are classified as inventory. The partnership determines at the inception of a contract if the arrangement is, or contains, a lease. A lease conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The criteria specified in IFRS 16 apply to contracts entered into, or changed, on or after January 1, 2019. Lease components and non-lease components are separated on a relative stand-alone selling price basis for the partnership’s leases as lessor. For the partnership’s leases as lessee, the partnership applies the practical expedient which is available by asset class not to allocate contract consideration between lease and non-lease components. The change in definition of a lease mainly relates to the concept of control. IFRS 16 determines whether a contract contains a lease on the basis of whether the customer has the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The partnership recognizes a ROU asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease agreements in which it is the lessee, except for leases with a lease term of 12 months or less (“short-term leases”) and leases of low value assets (“low-value leases”). For these leases, the partnership recognizes the lease payments as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the rate implicit in the lease if that rate can be readily determined. If the rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined, the partnership uses the incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that a lessee would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the ROU asset in a similar economic environment. This rate is expected to be similar to the interest rate implicit in the lease. Where a lease contains a parental guarantee, the incremental borrowing rate may be determined with reference to the parent rather than the lessee. The partnership uses a single discount rate to account for portfolios of leases with similar characteristics. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability is comprised of i) fixed lease payments, less any lease incentives; ii) variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date; iii) the amount expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees; iv) the exercise price of purchase options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options; and v) payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the exercise of an option to terminate the lease. Lease liabilities are presented in Accounts payable and other liabilities (current) and Other non-current liabilities (non-current) on the consolidated balance sheets. Lease liabilities are subsequently measured under the effective interest method that is increased by the interest expense on the lease liabilities recognized on the consolidated statements of income and reduced by lease payments made that are recognized in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Lease payments not included in the measurement of lease liabilities continue to be recognized in the direct commercial property expense, direct hospitality expense or general and administrative expense lines on the consolidated statements of income. ROU asset comprises the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, lease payments made at or before the commencement day and any initial direct costs. ROU assets classified as investment properties are subsequently measured at fair value. ROU assets classified as property, plant and equipment are subsequently measured on a depreciated cost basis over the lease term. If such lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset or the cost of the ROU asset reflects that the partnership expects to exercise a purchase option, the related ROU asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset. The depreciation starts at the commencement date of the lease. ROU assets classified as inventory are subsequently carried at cost subject to impairment. ROU assets are presented in the respective lines based on their classification on the consolidated balance sheets. Whenever the partnership incurs an obligation for costs to dismantle and remove a leased asset, restore the site on which it is located or restore the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease, a provision is recognized and measured under IAS 37. The costs are included in the related ROU asset. The partnership remeasures lease liabilities and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related ROU assets when i) the lease term has changed or there is a change in the assessment of exercise of a purchase option, in which case the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate; ii) the lease payments have changed due to changes in an index or rate or a change in expected payment under a guaranteed residual value, in which cases the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using the initial discount rate (unless the lease payments change is due to a change in a floating interest rate, in which case a revised discount rate is used); or iii) a lease contract is modified and the lease modification is not accounted for as a separate lease, in which case the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate. The partnership made additional disclosures in Note 5 , Investment Properties , Note 10 , Property, Plant And Equipment , Note 13 , Other Non-Current Assets , Note 19 , Other Non-Current Liabilities , Note 20 , Accounts Payable And Other Liabilities , Note 26 , Direct Commercial Property Expense and Note 28 , Depreciation and Amortization , as a result of the adoption. |
