Organization and Description of Business	Organization and Description of Business

	Brookfield DTLA Fund Office Trust Investor Inc. (“Brookfield DTLA” or the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation and was incorporated on April 19, 2013. Brookfield DTLA was formed for the purpose of consummating the transactions contemplated in the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of April 24, 2013, as amended (the “Merger Agreement”), and the issuance of shares of 7.625% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series A preferred stock”) in connection with the acquisition of MPG Office Trust, Inc. and MPG Office, L.P. (together, “MPG”). Brookfield DTLA is a direct subsidiary of Brookfield DTLA Holdings LLC (“Brookfield DTLA Holdings”), a Delaware limited liability company, and an indirect subsidiary of Brookfield Office Properties Inc. (“BPO”).

	Brookfield DTLA owns BOA Plaza, EY Plaza, Wells Fargo Center–North Tower, Wells Fargo Center–South Tower, Gas Company Tower and 777 Tower, each of which are Class A office properties located in the Los Angeles Central Business District (the “LACBD”).

	Brookfield DTLA receives its income primarily from rental income (including tenant reimbursements) generated from the operations of its office and retail properties, and to a lesser extent, from its parking garages.

Basis of Presentation	Mar. 31, 2015
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation

	As used in these consolidated and combined financial statements and related notes, unless the context requires otherwise, the terms “Brookfield DTLA,” the “Company,” “us,” “we” and “our” refer to Brookfield DTLA Fund Office Trust Investor Inc.

	Principles of Consolidation and Combination and Basis of Presentation

	The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10‑Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of only those of a normal and recurring nature, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and interim results of Brookfield DTLA as of and for the periods presented have been included. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those that may be expected for a full fiscal year.

	The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2014 has been derived from Brookfield DTLA’s audited financial statements; however, the accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

	The financial information included herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Brookfield DTLA’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2015.

	Use of Estimates

	The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. For example, estimates and assumptions have been made with respect to fair values of assets and liabilities for applying the acquisition method of accounting, the useful lives of assets, recoverable amounts of receivables, impairment of long-lived assets and fair value of debt. Actual results could ultimately differ from such estimates.

	Recent Accounting Pronouncements

	In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014‑08, Presentation of Financial Statements and Property, Plant, and Equipment: Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which requires entities to disclose only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations as discontinued operations. The new guidance requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations that will provide financial statement users with more information about the assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of discontinued operations. The guidance in ASU 2014-08 became effective for Brookfield DTLA beginning January 1, 2015. The implementation of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated financial statements.

	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 establishing Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance. ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services and also requires certain additional disclosures. ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2017. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated financial statements.

	In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15. Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. This topic provides guidance on management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and requires related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated financial statements.

	In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. For public business entities, this ASU is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities should apply the new guidance on a retrospective basis, wherein the balance sheet of each individual period presented should be adjusted to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the new guidance. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2015-03 on Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated financial statements.

	Income Taxes

	Brookfield DTLA has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) pursuant to Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with its tax period ended December 31, 2013. Brookfield DTLA intends to conduct its operations so as to continue to qualify as a REIT. Accordingly, Brookfield DTLA is not subject to U.S. federal income tax, provided that it continues to qualify as a REIT and distributions to its stockholders, if any, generally equal or exceed its taxable income.

	Qualification and taxation as a REIT depends upon Brookfield DTLA’s ability to meet the various qualification tests imposed under the Code related to annual operating results, asset diversification, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that Brookfield DTLA will be organized or be able to operate in a manner so as to continue to qualify as a REIT. If Brookfield DTLA fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal and state income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates, and it may be ineligible to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent tax years. Brookfield DTLA may also be subject to certain state or local income taxes, or franchise taxes on its REIT activities.

	Brookfield DTLA has made no provision for income taxes in its condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Brookfield DTLA’s taxable income or loss is different than its financial statement income or loss.

	Brookfield DTLA recognizes tax benefits from uncertain tax positions when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. Income tax positions must meet a more likely than not recognition threshold. Brookfield DTLA had no unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and Brookfield DTLA does not expect its unrecognized tax benefits balance to change during the next 12 months. Brookfield DTLA’s 2013 tax period and 2014 tax year remain open due to the statute of limitations and may be subject to examination by federal, state and local authorities. The 2011 and 2012 tax years as well as the short tax period ended October 15, 2013 for Brookfield DTLA and its subsidiaries remain open due to the statute of limitations and may be subject to examination by federal, state and local tax authorities.

All of Brookfield DTLA’s $2.1 billion of mortgage debt is subject to “non-recourse carve out” guarantees that expire upon elimination of the underlying loan obligations. Under these guarantees, these otherwise non‑recourse loans can become partially or fully recourse against Brookfield DTLA Holdings if certain triggering events occur as defined in the loan agreements.

Debt Reporting

Pursuant to the terms of certain of our mortgage loan agreements, Brookfield DTLA is required to report a debt service coverage ratio (“DSCR”) calculated using the formulas specified in the underlying loan agreements. We have submitted the required reports to the lenders for the measurement periods ended March 31, 2015 and were in compliance with the amounts required by the loan agreements, with the exception of Gas Company Tower.

Under the Gas Company Tower mortgage loan, we reported a DSCR of 0.72 to 1.00, calculated using actual debt service under the loan, and a DSCR of 0.57 to 1.00, calculated using actual debt service plus a hypothetical principal payment using a 30-year amortization schedule. Because the reported DSCR using the actual debt service plus a hypothetical principal payment was less than 1.00 to 1.00, the lender could seek to remove Brookfield Properties Management (CA) Inc. as property manager of Gas Company Tower, which is the only recourse available to the lender as a result of such breach.

Pursuant to the terms of the Gas Company Tower, Wells Fargo Center–South Tower, Wells Fargo Center–North Tower, EY Plaza, and Figueroa at 7th mortgage loan agreements, we are required to provide annual audited financial statements of Brookfield DTLA Holdings to the lenders or agents. The receipt of any opinion other than an “unqualified” audit opinion on our annual audited financial statements is an event of default under the loan agreements for the properties listed above. If an event of default occurs, the lenders have the right to pursue the remedies contained in the loan documents, including acceleration of all or a portion of the debt and foreclosure.

Temporary Equity Disclosure [Abstract]

Mezzanine Equity

Mezzanine equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 is comprised of the Series A preferred stock, a Series A-1 preferred interest and a senior participating preferred interest (the “Preferred Interests”). The Series A-1 preferred interest and senior participating preferred interest are held by a noncontrolling interest holder. The Preferred Interests are classified in mezzanine equity because they are callable and the holder of the Series A-1 preferred interest and senior participating preferred interest (which also owns some of the Series A preferred stock) indirectly controls the ability to elect to redeem such instruments, through its controlling interest in the Company and its subsidiaries. There is no commitment or obligation on the part of Brookfield DTLA or Brookfield DTLA Holdings to redeem the Preferred Interests.

The Preferred Interests included within mezzanine equity were recorded at fair value on the date of issuance and have been adjusted to the greater of their carrying amount or redemption value as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Adjustments to increase the carrying amount to redemption value are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations as a redemption measurement adjustment.

During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company made cash distributions to Brookfield DTLA Holdings totaling $220.0 million, in respect of the senior participating preferred interest held by Brookfield DTLA Holdings, using proceeds from the refinancing of EY Plaza and BOA Plaza. Other than these distributions, Brookfield DTLA has not paid any cash dividends in the past. Any future dividends declared would be at the discretion of Brookfield DTLA’s board of directors and would depend on its financial condition, results of operations, contractual obligations and the terms of its financing agreements at the time a dividend is considered, and other relevant factors.

Series A Preferred Stock

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 9,730,370 shares of Series A preferred stock were outstanding, of which 9,357,469 shares were issued to third parties and 372,901 shares were issued to DTLA Fund Holding Co., a subsidiary of Brookfield DTLA Holdings.

No dividends were declared on the Series A preferred stock during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. Dividends on the Series A preferred stock are cumulative, and therefore, will continue to accrue at an annual rate of $1.90625 per share. As of March 31, 2015, the cumulative amount of unpaid dividends totals $119.0 million and has been reflected in the carrying amount of the Series A preferred stock.

The Series A preferred stock does not have a stated maturity and is not subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption provisions. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the Series A preferred stock will rank senior to our common stock with respect to the payment of distributions. We may, at our option, redeem the Series A preferred stock, in whole or in part, for cash at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends on such Series A preferred stock up to and including the redemption date. The Series A preferred stock is not convertible into or exchangeable for any other property or securities of Brookfield DTLA.

As of March 31, 2015, the Series A preferred stock is reported at its redemption value of $362.3 million calculated using the redemption price of $25.00 per share plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends on such Series A preferred stock through March 31, 2015.

Series A-1 Preferred Interest

On October 15, 2013, Brookfield DTLA Fund Properties II LLC (“New OP”) issued a Series A-1 preferred interest to Brookfield DTLA Holdings or wholly owned subsidiaries of Brookfield DTLA Holdings with a stated value of $225.7 million in connection with the formation of Brookfield DTLA and the MPG acquisition.

The Series A-1 preferred interest has mirror rights to the Series A preferred interests issued by New OP, which are held by a wholly owned subsidiary of Brookfield DTLA, but only with respect to their respective preferred liquidation preferences, and share pro rata with 48.13% to the Series A-1 preferred interest and 51.87% to the Series A preferred interest based on their current liquidation preferences in accordance with their respective preferred liquidation preferences in distributions from New OP, until their preferred liquidation preferences have been reduced to zero. Thereafter, distributions will be made 47.66% to the Series A preferred interest and 52.34% to the Series B preferred interest, which is held by Brookfield DTLA Holdings. The economic terms of the Series A preferred stock mirror those of the New OP Series A preferred interests, including distributions in respect of the preferred liquidation preference.

As of March 31, 2015, the Series A-1 preferred interest is reported at its redemption value of $336.2 million calculated using its liquidation value of $225.7 million plus $110.5 million of accumulated and unpaid dividends on such Series A-1 preferred interest through March 31, 2015.

Senior Participating Preferred Interest

On October 15, 2013, Brookfield DTLA Fund Properties III LLC (“DTLA OP”) issued a senior participating preferred interest to Brookfield DTLA Holdings in connection with the formation of Brookfield DTLA and the MPG acquisition. The senior participating preferred interest was comprised of $240.0 million in preferred interests with a 7.0% coupon and a 4.0% participating interest in the residual value of DTLA OP, which owns 333 South Hope Co. LLC and EYP Realty LLC.

BOA Plaza and EY Plaza were contributed to DTLA OP, directly and indirectly, by Brookfield DTLA in connection with the merger. As of the merger date, these properties had a leverage ratio that was lower than the leverage ratio of the MPG properties acquired, as well as the target leverage ratio that the Company’s management sought to achieve for its properties, as they were refinanced, of approximately 60% to 65%. The size of the preferred interest component of the senior participating preferred interest issued to Brookfield DTLA was based, in part, on the expected net proceeds from the refinancing of the properties owned by 333 South Hope LLC (which holds BOA Plaza) and EYP Realty LLC (which holds EY Plaza) at a leverage ratio in this range and represented a portion of the approximately $595 million fair market value as of the merger date of BOA Plaza and EY Plaza, reduced by the outstanding principal balances of the mortgage loans secured by BOA Plaza and EY Plaza and the $25.0 million promissory note due to BOP Management Inc.

As of March 31, 2015, the senior participating preferred interest is reported at its redemption value of $51.4 million calculated using the value of the preferred and participating interests totaling $50.0 million plus $1.4 million of accumulated and unpaid dividends on the preferred interest through March 31, 2015.

This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivative, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. We have incorporated credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own and the respective counterparty’s non-performance risk in the fair value measurements.

	Litigation

	General—

	Brookfield DTLA and its subsidiaries may be subject to pending legal proceedings and litigation incidental to its business. After consultation with legal counsel, management believes that any liability that may potentially result upon resolution of such matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or consolidated financial statements as a whole.

	Merger-Related Litigation—

	Following the announcement of the execution of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of April 24, 2013, as amended (the “Merger Agreement”), seven putative class actions were filed against Brookfield Office Properties Inc. (“BPO”), Brookfield DTLA, Brookfield DTLA Holdings LLC, Brookfield DTLA Fund Office Trust Inc., Brookfield DTLA Fund Properties (collectively, the “Brookfield Parties”), MPG Office Trust, Inc., MPG Office, L.P., and the members of MPG Office Trust, Inc.’s board of directors. Five of these lawsuits were filed on behalf of MPG Office Trust, Inc.’s common stockholders: (i) two lawsuits, captioned Coyne v. MPG Office Trust, Inc., et al., No. BC507342 (the “Coyne Action”), and Masih v. MPG Office Trust, Inc., et al., No. BC507962 (the “Masih Action”), were filed in the Superior Court of the State of California in Los Angeles County (the “California State Court”) on April 29, 2013 and May 3, 2013, respectively; and (ii) three lawsuits, captioned Kim v. MPG Office Trust, Inc. et al., No. 24‑C-13-002600 (the “Kim Action”), Perkins v. MPG Office Trust, Inc., et al., No. 24-C-13-002778 (the “Perkins Action”) and Dell’Osso v. MPG Office Trust, Inc., et al., No. 24‑C-13-003283 (the “Dell’Osso Action”) were filed in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland on May 1, 2013, May 8, 2013 and May 22, 2013, respectively (collectively, the “Common Stock Actions”). Two lawsuits, captioned Cohen v. MPG Office Trust, Inc. et al., No. 24-C-13-004097 (the “Cohen Action”) and Donlan v. Weinstein, et al., No. 24‑C-13-004293 (the “Donlan Action”), were filed on behalf of MPG Office Trust, Inc.’s preferred stockholders in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland on June 20, 2013 and July 2, 2013, respectively (collectively, the “Preferred Stock Actions”).

	In each of the Common Stock Actions, the plaintiffs allege, among other things, that MPG Office Trust, Inc.’s board of directors breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the merger by failing to maximize the value of MPG Office Trust, Inc. and ignoring or failing to protect against conflicts of interest, and that the relevant Brookfield Parties named as defendants aided and abetted those breaches of fiduciary duty. The Kim Action further alleges that MPG Office, L.P. also aided and abetted the breaches of fiduciary duty by MPG Office Trust, Inc.’s board of directors, and the Dell’Osso Action further alleges that MPG Office Trust, Inc. and MPG Office, L.P. aided and abetted the breaches of fiduciary duty by MPG Office Trust, Inc.’s board of directors. On June 4, 2013, the Kim and Perkins plaintiffs filed identical, amended complaints in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland. On June 5, 2013, the Masih plaintiffs also filed an amended complaint in the Superior Court of the State of California in Los Angeles County. The three amended complaints, as well as the Dell’Osso Action complaint, allege that the preliminary proxy statement filed by MPG Office Trust, Inc. with the SEC on May 21, 2013 is false and/or misleading because it fails to include certain details of the process leading up to the merger and fails to provide adequate information concerning MPG Office Trust, Inc.’s financial advisors.

	In each of the Preferred Stock Actions, which were brought on behalf of MPG Office Trust, Inc.’s preferred stockholders, the plaintiffs allege, among other things, that, by entering into the Merger Agreement and tender offer, MPG Office Trust, Inc. breached the Articles Supplementary, which governs the issuance of the MPG preferred shares, that MPG Office Trust, Inc.’s board of directors breached their fiduciary duties by agreeing to a merger agreement that violated the preferred stockholders’ contractual rights and that the relevant Brookfield Parties named as defendants aided and abetted those breaches of contract and fiduciary duty. On July 15, 2013, the plaintiffs in the Preferred Stock Actions filed a joint amended complaint in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland that further alleged that MPG Office Trust, Inc.’s board of directors failed to disclose material information regarding BPO’s extension of the tender offer.

	The plaintiffs in the seven lawsuits sought an injunction against the merger, rescission or rescissory damages in the event the merger has been consummated, an award of fees and costs, including attorneys’ and experts’ fees, and other relief.

	On July 10, 2013, solely to avoid the costs, risks and uncertainties inherent in litigation, the Brookfield Parties and the other named defendants in the Common Stock Actions signed a memorandum of understanding (the “MOU”), regarding a proposed settlement of all claims asserted therein. The parties subsequently entered into a stipulation of settlement dated November 21, 2013 providing for the release of all asserted claims, additional disclosures by MPG concerning the merger made prior to the merger’s approval, and the payment, by defendants, of an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses in an amount not to exceed $475,000. After a hearing on June 4, 2014, the California State Court granted plaintiffs’ motion for final approval of the settlement, and entered a Final Order and Judgment, awarding plaintiffs’ counsel’s attorneys’ fees and expenses in the amount of $475,000, which was paid by MPG Office LLC on June 18, 2014. BPO is seeking reimbursement for the settlement payment from MPG’s insurers.

	In the Preferred Stock Actions, at a hearing on July 24, 2013, the Maryland State Court denied plaintiffs’ motion for preliminary injunction seeking to enjoin the tender offer. The plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint on November 22, 2013 that added additional arguments in support of their allegations that the new preferred shares do not have the same rights as the MPG preferred shares. The defendants moved to dismiss the second amended complaint on December 20, 2013, and briefing on the motion concluded on February 28, 2014. At a hearing on June 18, 2014, the Maryland State Court heard oral arguments on the defendants’ motion to dismiss and reserved judgment on the decision. On October 21, 2014, the parties sent a joint letter to the Maryland State Court stating that since the June 18 meeting, the parties have commenced discussions towards a possible resolution of the lawsuit, requesting that the court temporarily refrain from deciding the pending motion to dismiss to facilitate the discussions, and stating that the parties will report to the court within 45 days of the October 21 letter regarding the status of their discussions.

	Counsel for the parties have reached an agreement to settle the Preferred Stock Actions on a class-wide basis and dismiss the case with prejudice in exchange for the payment of $2.25 per share of Series A preferred stock of accumulated and unpaid dividends to holders of record on a record date to be set after final approval of the settlement by the Maryland State Court, plus any attorneys’ fees awarded by the Maryland State Court to the plaintiffs’ counsel. The dividend will reduce the amount of accumulated and unpaid dividends on the Series A preferred stock, and the terms of the Series A preferred stock will otherwise remain unchanged. The agreement is subject to a number of conditions precedent, further documentation, and approval of the Maryland State Court, after notice to the class. The parties entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (the “MOU”) on March 30, 2015 memorializing the agreement to settle the Preferred Stock Actions, which has been filed with the Maryland State Court. A copy of the MOU was filed with Brookfield DTLA’s Annual Report of Form 10-K as Exhibit 99.1.

	While the final outcome with respect to the Preferred Stock Actions cannot be predicted with certainty, in the opinion of management after consultation with external legal counsel, any liability that may arise from such contingencies would not have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or liquidity of Brookfield DTLA.

Principles of Consolidation and Combination and Basis of Presentation	Principles of Consolidation and Combination and Basis of Presentation

	The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10‑Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of only those of a normal and recurring nature, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and interim results of Brookfield DTLA as of and for the periods presented have been included. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those that may be expected for a full fiscal year.

	The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2014 has been derived from Brookfield DTLA’s audited financial statements; however, the accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

	The financial information included herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Brookfield DTLA’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2015.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates

	The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. For example, estimates and assumptions have been made with respect to fair values of assets and liabilities for applying the acquisition method of accounting, the useful lives of assets, recoverable amounts of receivables, impairment of long-lived assets and fair value of debt. Actual results could ultimately differ from such estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements

	In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014‑08, Presentation of Financial Statements and Property, Plant, and Equipment: Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which requires entities to disclose only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations as discontinued operations. The new guidance requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations that will provide financial statement users with more information about the assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of discontinued operations. The guidance in ASU 2014-08 became effective for Brookfield DTLA beginning January 1, 2015. The implementation of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated financial statements.

	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 establishing Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance. ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services and also requires certain additional disclosures. ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2017. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated financial statements.

	In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15. Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. This topic provides guidance on management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and requires related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated financial statements.

	In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. For public business entities, this ASU is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities should apply the new guidance on a retrospective basis, wherein the balance sheet of each individual period presented should be adjusted to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the new guidance. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2015-03 on Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated financial statements.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes

	Brookfield DTLA has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) pursuant to Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with its tax period ended December 31, 2013. Brookfield DTLA intends to conduct its operations so as to continue to qualify as a REIT. Accordingly, Brookfield DTLA is not subject to U.S. federal income tax, provided that it continues to qualify as a REIT and distributions to its stockholders, if any, generally equal or exceed its taxable income.

	Qualification and taxation as a REIT depends upon Brookfield DTLA’s ability to meet the various qualification tests imposed under the Code related to annual operating results, asset diversification, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that Brookfield DTLA will be organized or be able to operate in a manner so as to continue to qualify as a REIT. If Brookfield DTLA fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal and state income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates, and it may be ineligible to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent tax years. Brookfield DTLA may also be subject to certain state or local income taxes, or franchise taxes on its REIT activities.

	Brookfield DTLA has made no provision for income taxes in its condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Brookfield DTLA’s taxable income or loss is different than its financial statement income or loss.

	Brookfield DTLA recognizes tax benefits from uncertain tax positions when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. Income tax positions must meet a more likely than not recognition threshold. Brookfield DTLA had no unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and Brookfield DTLA does not expect its unrecognized tax benefits balance to change during the next 12 months. Brookfield DTLA’s 2013 tax period and 2014 tax year remain open due to the statute of limitations and may be subject to examination by federal, state and local authorities. The 2011 and 2012 tax years as well as the short tax period ended October 15, 2013 for Brookfield DTLA and its subsidiaries remain open due to the statute of limitations and may be subject to examination by federal, state and local tax authorities.
