Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
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 partially-owned subsidiary of Brookfield Office Properties Inc., a corporation incorporated under the Laws of Canada (“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 is a Class A office property 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.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation As used in these consolidated 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. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 include the accounts of Brookfield DTLA and subsidiaries in which it has a controlling financial interest. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation as of and for the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 . In determining whether Brookfield DTLA has a controlling financial interest in an entity and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, management considers factors such as ownership interest, board representation, management representation, authority to make decisions, and contractual and substantive participating rights of the partners/members as well as whether the entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and Brookfield DTLA is the primary beneficiary. A VIE is broadly defined as an entity where either (i) the equity investors as a group, if any, lack the power through voting or similar rights to direct the activities of an entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance or (ii) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support. A variable interest holder is considered to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE if it has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Brookfield DTLA qualitatively assesses whether it is (or is not) the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Consideration of various factors includes, but is not limited to, Brookfield DTLA’s ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, its form of ownership interest, its representation on the VIE’s governing body, the size and seniority of its investment, its ability and the rights of other investors to participate in policy making decisions and its ability to replace the manager of and/or liquidate the entity. The Company earns a return through an indirect investment in Brookfield DTLA Fund Properties II LLC (“New OP”). Brookfield DTLA Holdings, the parent of Brookfield DTLA, owns all of the common interest in New OP. Brookfield DTLA has an indirect preferred stock interest in New OP and its wholly owned subsidiary is the managing member of New OP. The Company determined that New OP is a VIE and as a result of having the power to direct the significant activities of New OP and exposure to the economic performance of New OP, Brookfield DTLA meets the two conditions for being the primary beneficiary. Brookfield DTLA is required to continually evaluate its VIE relationships and consolidation conclusion. Reclassifications We had reported $220,000 of distributions to Brookfield DTLA Holdings in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2014 . We have reclassified this total to show $207,231 as distributions to senior participating preferred interest and $12,769 as dividends paid to senior participating preferred interest so as to conform to the 2016 and 2015 presentation. In December 2015, Brookfield DTLA adopted the guidance in Accounting Standards Update (“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. We have combined the amortization of deferred financing costs ( $1,007 ) and the amortization of debt discounts ( $5,042 ) for the year ended December 31, 2014 and presented a new total ( $6,049 ) in the consolidated statement of cash flows so as to reflect the presentation of such costs in the consolidated balance sheet. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. For example, estimates and assumptions have been made with respect to fair values of assets and liabilities for purposes of 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 May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09 establishing Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 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 guidance in ASU 2014-15 became effective for Brookfield DTLA for year-end December 31, 2016. The implementation of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated financial statements. In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis to ASC Topic 810 , Consolidation . ASU 2015-02 affects reporting entities that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. Specifically, the amendments: (i) modify the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are VIEs or voting interest entities, (ii) eliminate the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership, (iii) affect the consolidated analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs, and (iv) provide a scope exception for certain entities. The guidance in ASU 2015-02 became effective for Brookfield DTLA beginning January 1, 2016. The implementation of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03 that 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, consistent with debt discounts, as opposed to being presented as assets. Brookfield DTLA elected to early adopt ASU 2015-03 effective as of December 31, 2015. There was no effect on Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 as a result of adopting this pronouncement. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 establishing ASC Topic 842, Leases . The guidance in this update supersedes the guidance in ASC Topic 840, Leases . ASU 2016-02 revises GAAP related to accounting for leases by lessees. Under this new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset in the balance sheet for all leases with terms greater than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification determining the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of operations. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and should be applied using a modified retrospective approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments to ASC Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows . ASU 2016-15 clarifies guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows to reduce diversity in practice with respect to (i) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, (ii) settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing, (iii) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, (iv) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, (v) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies, (vi) distributions received from equity method investees, (vii) beneficial interests in securitization transactions, and (viii) separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. ASU 2016-15 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this update to have a material impact on Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated financial statements. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Restricted Cash to ASC Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows . ASU 2016-18 requires entities to show the changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. As a result, entities will no longer present transfers between cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption permitted, including adoption in an interim period. Upon adoption, we will retrospectively reconcile the activity in our cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents during reporting periods. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business to ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. ASU 2017-01 introduced amendments that are intended to make the guidance on the definition of a business more consistent and cost-efficient. The objective of the update is to add further guidance that assists entities in evaluating whether a transaction should be accounted for as an acquisition (or disposal) of assets or a business by providing a screen to determine when a set of assets and activities acquired is not a business. ASU 2017-01 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 including interim periods within those periods. ASU 2017-01 must be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2017-01 on Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated financial statements. Significant Accounting Policies Business Combinations— Purchase accounting is applied to the assets and liabilities related to all real estate investments acquired from third parties. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations , the purchase price of real estate acquired is allocated to acquired tangible assets, consisting primarily of land, building and tenant improvements, and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above- and below-market leases, in-place leases, and tenant relationships, based in each case on their fair value. The principal valuation technique employed by Brookfield DTLA in determining the fair value of identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed is the income approach, which is then compared to the cost approach. Tangible values for investments in real estate are calculated based on replacement costs for like type quality assets. Above- and below-market lease values are determined by comparing in-place rents with current market rents. In‑place lease amounts are determined by calculating the potential lost revenue during the replacement of the current leases in place. Leasing commissions and legal/marketing fees are determined based upon market allowances pro-rated over the remaining lease terms. Mortgage loans assumed in an acquisition are analyzed using current market terms for similar debt. The value of the acquired above-market and below-market leases are amortized and recorded as either a decrease (in the case of above-market leases) or an increase (in the case of below-market leases) to rental income in the consolidated statement of operations over the remaining term of the associated lease. The value of tenant relationships is amortized over the expected term of the relationship, which includes an estimated probability of lease renewal. The value of in-place leases is amortized as an expense over the remaining life of the leases. Amortization of tenant relationships and in‑place leases is included in depreciation and amortization in the consolidated statement of operations. Investments in Real Estate— Land is carried at cost. Buildings are recorded at historical cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the building, which is 60 years with an estimated salvage value of 5% . Building improvements are recorded at historical cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which range from 7 years to 25 years. Tenant improvements that are determined to be assets of Brookfield DTLA are recorded at cost; amortization is included in depreciation and amortization expense in the consolidated statement of operations on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the useful life or the applicable lease term. Depreciation expense related to investments in real estate during the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 was $73.0 million , $67.0 million and $67.5 million , respectively. Real estate is reviewed for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the real estate may not be recoverable. In such an event, a comparison is made of the current and projected operating cash flows of the property into the foreseeable future on an undiscounted basis to the carrying amount of the real estate. If the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by an asset are less than its carrying amount, an impairment provision would be recorded to write down the carrying amount of such asset to its fair value. Brookfield DTLA assesses fair value based on estimated cash flow projections utilizing appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information. Projections of future cash flow take into account the specific business plan for the property and management’s best estimate of the most probable set of economic conditions expected to prevail in the market. Management believes no impairment of Brookfield DTLA’s real estate assets existed at December 31, 2016 and 2015 . Cash and Cash Equivalents— Cash and cash equivalents include all cash and short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Restricted Cash— Restricted cash consists primarily of deposits for tenant improvements and leasing commissions, real estate taxes and insurance reserves, debt service reserves and other items as required by our mortgage loan agreements. Rents, Deferred Rents and Other Receivables, Net— Differences between rental income and the contractual amounts due are recorded as deferred rents receivable in the consolidated balance sheet. Brookfield DTLA evaluates its deferred rents receivable to consider if an allowance is necessary. Rents, deferred rents and other receivables, net also includes any amounts paid to a tenant for improvements owned or costs incurred by the tenant are treated as tenant inducements and are presented in the consolidated balance sheet net of accumulated amortization totaling $9.9 million and $6.5 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Amortization of tenant inducements is recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease as a reduction of rental income in the consolidated statement of operations. Brookfield DTLA periodically evaluates the collectability of amounts due from tenants and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts in the consolidated balance sheet for estimated losses resulting from the inability of tenants to make required payments under the lease agreements. Management exercises judgment in establishing these allowances and considers payment history and current credit status in developing these estimates. The allowance for doubtful accounts for Brookfield DTLA totaled $0.2 million and $0.5 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2016 , Brookfield DTLA recorded a $271 thousand recovery of doubtful accounts. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 , Brookfield DTLA recorded provisions for doubtful accounts of $103 thousand and $24 thousand , respectively. Due to/from Affiliates, Net— Amounts due to/from affiliates, net consist of related party receivables and payables from affiliates of BPO primarily for fees for property management and other services. These amounts are due on demand and are non‑interest bearing. Deferred Charges, Net— Leasing costs are deferred and are presented as deferred charges in the consolidated balance sheet net of accumulated amortization totaling $49.6 million and $38.2 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Deferred leasing costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases as part of depreciation and amortization in the consolidated statement of operations. Prepaid and Other Assets, Net— Prepaid and other assets include prepaid insurance, prepaid real estate taxes and other operating costs. Mortgage Loans, Net— Mortgage loans are presented in the consolidated balance sheet net of unamortized discounts and debt issuance costs totaling $9.1 million and $6.0 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Discounts and debt issuance costs totaling $4.3 million , $5.1 million and $6.0 million were amortized during the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively, over the terms of the related mortgage loans on a basis that approximates the effective interest method and are included as part of interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations. Revenue Recognition— Rental income from leases providing for periodic increases in base rent is recognized on a straight-line basis over the noncancelable term of the respective leases. Certain leases with retail tenants also provide for the payment by the lessee of additional rent based on a percentage of the tenants’ sales. Percentage rents are recognized only after the tenant sales thresholds have been achieved. Recoveries of operating expenses and real estate taxes are recorded as tenant reimbursements in the consolidated statement of operations in the period during which the expenses are incurred. 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 conducts and 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. Brookfield DTLA has elected to treat certain of its subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”). Certain activities that we undertake must be conducted by a TRS, such as non-customary services for our tenants, and holding assets that we cannot hold directly. A TRS is subject to both federal and state income taxes. 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 made no provision for income taxes in its consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 . 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 of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , and Brookfield DTLA does not expect its unrecognized tax benefits balance to change during the next 12 months. As of December 31, 2016 , Brookfield DTLA’s 2013 tax period and 2014 and 2015 tax years remain open due to the statute of limitations and may be subject to examination by federal, state and local authorities. The 2012 tax year 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. Derivative Financial Instruments— Brookfield DTLA uses interest rate swap and cap contracts to manage risk from fluctuations in interest rates as well as to hedge anticipated future financing transactions. Interest rate swaps involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts in exchange for fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying principal amount. Interest rate caps involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts beyond a specified strike price over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying principal amount. The Company believes these agreements are with counterparties who are creditworthy financial institutions. Brookfield DTLA adheres to the provisions of ASC Subtopic 815-10-15, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815-10-15”). ASC 815-10-15 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires the recognition of all derivative instruments as assets or liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges, or that do not meet the hedge accounting criteria in ASC 815-10-15, are required to be reported through the statement of operations. Brookfield DTLA has elected to designate its interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge. Segment Reporting Brookfield DTLA operates in a single reportable segment referred to as its office segment, which includes the operation and management of commercial office properties. Each of Brookfield DTLA’s operating properties is considered a separate operating segment, as each property earns revenues and incurs expenses, individual operating results are reviewed and discrete financial information is available. Management does not distinguish or group Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated operations based on geography, size or type. Brookfield DTLA’s operating properties have similar economic characteristics and provide similar products and services to tenants. As a result, Brookfield DTLA’s operating properties are aggregated into a single reportable segment. Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations Brookfield DTLA has evaluated whether it has any conditional asset retirement obligations, which are a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional upon future events that may or may not be within an entity’s control. The obligation to perform the asset retirement activity is unconditional even though uncertainty exists about the timing and/or method of settlement. Accordingly, Brookfield DTLA recognized a liability for a conditional asset retirement obligation.

During July 2016, the Company received $37.0 million in cash contributions from Brookfield DTLA Holdings, of which $19.7 million was used to pay for costs associated with the refinancing of Gas Company Tower. The new $450.0 million mortgage loan is comprised of a $319.0 million senior loan and a $131.0 million mezzanine loan, which bear interest at fixed rates equal to 3.4727% and 6.50% , respectively, mature on August 6, 2021 , and require the payment of interest-only until maturity.

The mezzanine loan is locked out from prepayment until September 6, 2017 , after which the loan can be repaid, in whole or in part, without penalty. Wells Fargo Center–South Tower— On December 2, 2016 , Brookfield DLTA refinanced the $290.0 million mortgage loan secured by Wells Fargo Center–South Tower. In connection with the refinancing, the Company repaid $40.0 million of principal and was required to fund various loan reserves, including a $6.1 million tenant improvement and leasing commission reserve and a $1.1 million property tax reserve at closing. During November 2016, the Company received $20.3 million in cash contributions from Brookfield DTLA Holdings that, along with cash on hand, was used to pay for costs associated with the refinancing of Wells Fargo Center–South Tower.

Debt Maturities As Brookfield DTLA’s debt matures, principal payment obligations present significant future cash requirements. As of December 31, 2016 , our debt to be repaid during the next five years and thereafter is as follows (in thousands): 2017 $ 589,026 2018 474,233 2019 4,449 2020 168,151 2021 450,000 Thereafter 400,000 $ 2,085,859 As of December 31, 2016 , $765.9 million of our debt may be prepaid without penalty, $400.0 million may be defeased (as defined in the underlying loan agreements), $470.0 million may be prepaid with prepayment penalties, and $450.0 million locked out from prepayment until September 6, 2017 . Wells Fargo Center–North Tower— Brookfield DTLA currently intends to refinance the $550.0 million mortgage loan secured by Wells Fargo Center–North Tower on or about its April 6, 2017 maturity date with new debt with a lower leverage ratio. We do not have a commitment from the lenders to extend the maturity date of or to refinance this loan. This loan will most likely require a paydown upon extension or refinancing (depending on market conditions), funding of additional reserve amounts, or both. As of December 31, 2016 , Brookfield DTLA anticipates the need for additional cash of approximately $90 million to complete the refinancing. We may use cash on hand to make any such payments or cash received as a capital contribution from Brookfield DTLA Holdings. If we are unable or unwilling to use cash on hand or do not use cash contributed by Brookfield DTLA Holdings to make such payments, we may face challenges in repaying, extending or refinancing this loan on favorable terms or at all, and we may be forced to give back the asset to the lenders. Figueroa at 7th— Brookfield DTLA intends to extend or refinance the $35.0 million mortgage loan secured by Figueroa at 7th on or about its September 10, 2017 maturity date. Brookfield DTLA has two options to extend the maturity date of this loan, each for a period of 12 months, subject to meeting certain debt yield and loan to value ratios (as specified in the loan agreement). As of December 31, 2016 , we meet the criteria specified in the loan agreement to extend the maturity date of this loan. Funding of Wells Fargo Center–North Tower Collateral Reserve In connection with the MPG acquisition, Brookfield DTLA Holdings assumed the mortgage loan secured by the Wells Fargo Center–North Tower office property. In connection with the loan assumption, Brookfield DTLA Holdings agreed to deposit funds into a collateral reserve account held by the lender, of which $2.5 million was funded by Brookfield DTLA in each of the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. The collateral reserve is included as part of restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheet. MPG Office, L.P. Tax Indemnification Agreements In connection with tax indemnification agreements entered into with MPG Office, L.P. prior to the acquisition of MPG in 2013 by Brookfield DTLA, Robert F. Maguire III, certain entities owned or controlled by Mr. Maguire, and other contributors to MPG at the time of its initial public offering guaranteed a portion of the Wells Fargo Center–North Tower and Gas Company Tower mortgage loans. As of December 31, 2016 , these loans are no longer subject to such guarantees. Non-Recourse Carve Out Guarantees 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. In connection with all of these loans, Brookfield DTLA entered into “non-recourse carve out” guarantees, which provide for these otherwise non-recourse loans to become partially or fully recourse against Brookfield DTLA Holdings or one of its subsidiaries, if certain triggering events occur. Although these events differ from loan to loan, some of the common events include: • The special purpose property-owning subsidiary of Brookfield DTLA Holdings or Brookfield DTLA Holdings filing a voluntary petition for bankruptcy; • The special purpose property-owning subsidiary of Brookfield DTLA Holdings’ failure to maintain its status as a special purpose entity; • Subject to certain conditions, the special purpose property-owning subsidiary of Brookfield DTLA Holdings’ failure to obtain the lender’s written consent prior to any subordinate financing or other voluntary lien encumbering the associated property; and • Subject to certain conditions, the special purpose property-owning subsidiary of Brookfield DTLA Holdings’ failure to obtain the lender’s written consent prior to a transfer or conveyance of the associated property, including, in some cases, indirect transfers in connection with a change in control of Brookfield DTLA Holdings or Brookfield DTLA. In addition, other items that are customarily recourse to a non-recourse carve out guarantor include, but are not limited to, the payment of real property taxes, the breach of representations related to environmental issues or hazardous substances, physical waste of the property, liens which are senior to the mortgage loan and outstanding security deposits. The maximum amount Brookfield DTLA Holdings would be required to pay under a “non‑recourse carve out” guarantee is the principal amount of the loan (or a total of $2.1 billion as of December 31, 2016 for all loans). This maximum amount does not include liabilities related to environmental issues or hazardous substances. Losses resulting from the breach of our loan agreement representations related to environmental issues or hazardous substances are generally recourse to Brookfield DTLA Holdings pursuant to the “non-recourse carve out” guarantees and any such losses would be in addition to the total principal amounts of the loans. The potential losses are not quantifiable and can be material in certain circumstances, depending on the severity of the environmental or hazardous substance issues. Since each of our non-recourse loans is secured by the office building owned by the special purpose property-owning subsidiary of Brookfield DTLA Holdings, the amount due to the lender from Brookfield DTLA Holdings in the event a “non-recourse carve out” guarantee is triggered could subsequently be partially or fully mitigated by the net proceeds received from any disposition of the office building; however, such proceeds may not be sufficient to cover the maximum potential amount due, depending on the particular asset. 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 December 31, 2016 and were in compliance with the amounts required by the loan agreements. Pursuant to the terms of the 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.

Mezzanine Equity

Mezzanine Equity	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2016
Temporary Equity Disclosure [Abstract]
Mezzanine Equity	Mezzanine Equity Mezzanine equity in the consolidated balance sheet is comprised of the Series A preferred stock, a Series A-1 preferred interest, a senior participating preferred interest and, as of December 31, 2016 , a Series B preferred interest (collectively, the “Preferred Interests”). The Series A-1 preferred interest, senior participating preferred interest and Series B 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, senior participating preferred interest, Series B preferred interest, and 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. See “—Series B Preferred Interest” below for a discussion of the issuance of the Series B preferred interest during the year ended December 31, 2016 . 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 December 31, 2016 and 2015 . Adjustments to increase the carrying amount to redemption value are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations as a redemption measurement adjustment. Dividends and Distributions On January 4, 2016 , Brookfield DTLA paid a cash dividend of $2.25 per share to holders of record of its Series A preferred stock at the close of business on December 15, 2015 using cash on hand. This dividend payment reduced the accumulated and unpaid dividends owed on the Series A preferred stock by $21.9 million . 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. During the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , the Company paid distributions and dividends totaling $0.6 million , $35.8 million and $220.0 million , respectively, to Brookfield DTLA Holdings related to the senior participating preferred interest. Series A Preferred Stock Brookfield DTLA is authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of Series A preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share, with a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , 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. On January 4, 2016 , Brookfield DTLA paid a cash dividend of $2.25 per share to holders of record of its Series A preferred stock at the close of business on December 15, 2015 using cash on hand. This dividend payment reduced the accumulated and unpaid dividends owed on the Series A preferred stock by $21.9 million . The dividend was declared on December 4, 2015 by the board of directors in connection with the settlement on a class-wide basis of the litigation brought in Maryland State Court and styled as In re MPG Office Trust Inc. Preferred Shareholder Litigation , Case No. 24‑C-13-004097. See Note 13 “Commitments and Contingencies—Litigation—Merger-Related Litigation” for additional information regarding the dividend payment. No dividends were declared on the Series A preferred stock during the years ended December 31, 2016 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 December 31, 2016 , the cumulative amount of unpaid dividends totals $129.6 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 December 31, 2016 , the Series A preferred stock is reported at its redemption value of $372.9 million calculated using the redemption price of $25.00 per share plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends on such Series A preferred stock through December 31, 2016 . Series A-1 Preferred Interest The Series A-1 preferred interest is held by Brookfield DTLA Holdings or wholly owned subsidiaries of Brookfield DTLA Holdings and has a stated value of $225.7 million . 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 common component of the Series A interest and 52.34% to the common component of the Series B 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 December 31, 2016 , the Series A-1 preferred interest is reported at its redemption value of $366.3 million calculated using its liquidation value of $225.7 million plus $140.6 million of accumulated and unpaid dividends on such Series A-1 preferred interest through December 31, 2016 . Senior Participating Preferred Interest 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. On March 21, 2014 , Brookfield DTLA made a cash distribution to Brookfield DTLA Holdings totaling $70.0 million , in respect of the senior participating preferred interest held by Brookfield DTLA Holdings, which was comprised of $7.3 million in settlement of preferred dividends on the senior participating preferred interest through March 21, 2014 and a return of investment of $62.7 million using proceeds generated by the refinancing of EY Plaza. On August 28, 2014 , Brookfield DTLA made a cash distribution to Brookfield DTLA Holdings totaling $150.0 million , in respect of the senior participating preferred interest held by Brookfield DTLA Holdings, which was comprised of $5.5 million in settlement of preferred dividends on the senior participating preferred interest through August 28, 2014 and a return of investment of $144.5 million using proceeds generated by the refinancing of BOA Plaza. On December 16, 2015 , Brookfield DTLA made a cash distribution to Brookfield DTLA Holdings totaling $35.8 million , in respect of the senior participating preferred interest held by Brookfield DTLA Holdings, which was comprised of $3.0 million in settlement of preferred dividends on the senior participating preferred interest through December 16, 2015 and a return of investment of $32.8 million using cash on hand. As of December 31, 2015 , the 7.0% preferred interest portion of the senior participating preferred interest had been fully repaid to Brookfield DTLA Holdings. On April 5, 2016 , Brookfield DTLA made a $0.3 million distribution to Brookfield DTLA Holdings as a return of investment related to the senior participating preferred interest held by Brookfield DTLA Holdings using cash on hand. On November 30, 2016 , Brookfield DTLA made a $0.3 million distribution to Brookfield DTLA Holdings as a return of investment related to the senior participating preferred interest held by Brookfield DTLA Holdings using cash on hand. As of December 31, 2016 , the senior participating preferred interest is reported at its redemption value of $25.0 million using the value of the participating interest. Series B Preferred Interest At the time of the merger with MPG, Brookfield DTLA Holdings made a commitment to make capital contributions in cash or property to New OP, which directly or indirectly owns the Brookfield DTLA properties, to fund up to $260.0 million of its future cash needs, for which it will be entitled to receive a preferred return, if and when called by New OP. On May 16, 2016 , New OP issued a Series B preferred interest to Brookfield DTLA Holdings in connection with a $6.0 million cash contribution from Brookfield DTLA Holdings to the Company under this commitment, which is entitled to a preferred return of 9.0% . The Company used these funds for general corporate purposes. On July 11, 2016 and July 13, 2016 , the Company received $30.0 million and $7.0 million , respectively, in cash contributions from Brookfield DTLA Holdings, which are entitled to a preferred return of 9.0% as part of the Series B preferred interest. Of the $37.0 million contributed during July 2016, $19.7 million was used to pay for costs associated with the refinancing of Gas Company Tower, with the remainder used for general corporate purposes. On November 30, 2016 , the Company received $20.3 million in cash contributions from Brookfield DTLA Holdings, which is entitled to a preferred return of 9.0% as part of the Series B preferred interest. The Company used these funds to pay for costs associated with the refinancing of Wells Fargo Center–South Tower. The Series B preferred interest in New OP held by Brookfield DTLA Holdings is effectively senior to the interest in New OP held by Brookfield DTLA and has a priority on distributions senior to the equity securities of such subsidiaries held indirectly by Brookfield DTLA and, as a result, effectively rank senior to the Series A preferred stock. The Series B preferred interest in New OP may limit the amount of funds available to Brookfield DTLA for any purpose, including for dividends or other distributions to holders of its capital stock, including the Series A preferred stock. As of December 31, 2016 , the Series B preferred interest is reported at its redemption value of $65.4 million calculated using its liquidation value of $63.3 million plus $2.1 million of accumulated and unpaid dividends on such Series B preferred interest through December 31, 2016 . Subsequent to December 31, 2016 , the Company received $30.0 million in cash contributions from Brookfield DTLA Holdings that increased the liquidation value of the Series B preferred interest and is entitled to a preferred return of 9.0% . The Company intends to use these funds for general corporate purposes.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures , defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. The objective of fair value is to determine the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (the exit price). ASC Topic 820 established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three categories: • Level 1—Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date. • Level 2—Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted in active markets, but corroborated by market data. • Level 3—Unobservable prices that are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. Brookfield DTLA utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs, to the extent possible, as well as consider counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value. Recurring Measurements The valuation of Brookfield DTLA’s interest rate swap is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flow of the derivative. 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. Brookfield DTLA’s (liabilities) assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall, are as follows (in thousands): Fair Value Measurements Using Total Fair Value Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical (Liabilities) Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Interest rate swap at: December 31, 2016 $ (3,373 ) $ — $ (3,373 ) $ — December 31, 2015 (5,415 ) — (5,415 ) — December 31, 2014 (4,337 ) — (4,337 ) — Interest rate caps at: December 31, 2016 $ 53 $ — $ 53 $ — December 31, 2015 19 — 19 — December 31, 2014 190 — 190 —

Interest Rate Caps— Brookfield DTLA holds interest rate caps pursuant to the terms of certain of its mortgage loan agreements with the following notional amounts (in thousands): December 31, 2016 December 31, 2015 Wells Fargo Center–South Tower $ 270,000 $ 290,000 777 Tower 220,000 200,000 $ 490,000 $ 490,000 On September 1, 2016, the Company increased the notional amount of the interest rate cap agreement related to its 777 Tower mortgage loan from $200.0 million to $220.0 million pursuant to the terms of the modified loan agreement. As required by the loan agreement, on December 2, 2016 the Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement related to its Wells Fargo Center–South Tower mortgage loan with a notional amount of $270.0 million . Other Financial Instruments Brookfield DTLA’s other financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. Management routinely assesses the financial strength of its tenants and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited. Brookfield DTLA places its temporary cash investments with federally insured institutions. Cash balances with any one institution may at times be in excess of the federally insured limits. The estimated fair value and carrying amount of Brookfield DTLA’s mortgage loans are as follows (in thousands): December 31, 2016 December 31, 2015 Estimated fair value $ 2,059,449 $ 2,114,761 Carrying amount 2,085,859 2,117,377 We calculated the estimated fair value of our mortgage loans by discounting the future contractual cash flows of the loans using current risk adjusted rates available to borrowers with similar credit ratings. The estimated fair value of mortgage loans is classified as Level 3.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Tenant Concentration Brookfield DTLA generally does not require collateral or other security from its tenants, other than security deposits or letters of credit. Our credit risk is mitigated by the high quality of our existing tenant base, review of prospective tenants’ risk profiles prior to lease execution, and frequent monitoring of our tenant portfolio to identify problem tenants. However, since we have a significant concentration of rental revenue from certain tenants, the inability of those tenants to make their lease payments could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flow or financial condition. A significant portion of Brookfield DTLA’s rental income and tenant reimbursements revenue is generated by a small number of tenants. No tenant accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated rental income and tenant reimbursements revenue during the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 . During the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , EY Plaza, BOA Plaza, Wells Fargo Center–North Tower, Wells Fargo Center–South Tower, Gas Company Tower and 777 Tower each contributed more than 10% of Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated revenue. The revenue generated by these six properties totaled 100% , 98% and 100% of Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated revenue during the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively. 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, 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. In the Preferred Stock Actions, at a hearing on July 24, 2013, the Maryland State Court denied the 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. On March 30, 2015 , the plaintiff in the Cohen Actions and the defendants entered into a memorandum of understanding setting forth an agreement in principle 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 (the “Dividend Payment”) 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 plaintiff’s counsel. The dividend would reduce the amount of accumulated and unpaid dividends on the Series A preferred stock, and the terms of the Series A preferred stock would otherwise remain unchanged. On August 18, 2015, the Maryland State Court entered an order preliminarily approving the settlement and scheduling a final fairness hearing for October 27, 2015. On September 28, 2015, the plaintiff filed a motion for final certification of the settlement class, final approval of the class action settlement and approval of attorneys’ fees and reimbursement of expenses, seeking a total fee and expense award of $5,250,000 . The defendants submitted their opposition to the plaintiff’s fee application on October 13, 2015. On October 16, 2015, the plaintiff filed a motion seeking discovery related to the valuation of the Dividend Payment in connection with its fee application and served related discovery requests on the defendants. On October 23, 2015, the defendants filed their opposition to that motion, as well as a motion for a protective order precluding discovery. On October 27, 2015, the Maryland State Court held a hearing to decide whether to grant final approval of the settlement and to rule on the parties’ discovery motions. At the hearing, the Court ordered limited discovery to occur prior to ruling on the fee application. On October 28, 2015, the Maryland State Court issued an order granting final approval of the settlement. The time to appeal the order expired on November 30, 2015 without any appeals having been filed. On December 4, 2015 , in accordance with the final approval order and the terms of the parties’ settlement agreement, the board of directors declared a cash dividend of $2.25 per share to holders of record of its Series A preferred stock at the close of business on December 15, 2015 . On January 4, 2016 , Brookfield DTLA paid the Dividend Payment totaling $21.9 million using cash on hand. On December 16, 2015, after taking certain limited discovery permitted by the Maryland State Court during the October 27 hearing, the plaintiff served the defendants with its reply memorandum of law in support of its motion for attorneys’ fees and expenses. That same day, the plaintiff requested that the Court permit it to file the reply memorandum and an exhibit thereto under seal given the confidential nature of the information contained therein. On December 17, 2015, the plaintiff provided the Court with plaintiff’s counsel’s time records for the Court’s in camera review. On January 15, 2016, the defendants filed a surreply to the plaintiff’s reply memorandum after obtaining the Court’s permission to do so. After a hearing on April 6, 2016, the Maryland State Court issued an order on April 18, 2016 granting an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to the plaintiffs totaling $2,212,688 . On April 21, 2016 , the Company paid the awarded amount to the plaintiffs’ counsel. On July 13, 2016 , BPO and the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the insurance carrier under the MPG directors and officers liability insurance policy that was in effect at the time of the merger. On August 17, 2016 , the Company received a settlement payment from the insurance carrier totaling $1,106,344 , which partially reimbursed the Company for amounts paid to settle both the Common Stock Actions and the Preferred Stock Actions. The Company included the settlement in interest and other revenue in its consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016 .

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation	Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation As used in these consolidated 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. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 include the accounts of Brookfield DTLA and subsidiaries in which it has a controlling financial interest. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation as of and for the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 .
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities	In determining whether Brookfield DTLA has a controlling financial interest in an entity and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, management considers factors such as ownership interest, board representation, management representation, authority to make decisions, and contractual and substantive participating rights of the partners/members as well as whether the entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and Brookfield DTLA is the primary beneficiary. A VIE is broadly defined as an entity where either (i) the equity investors as a group, if any, lack the power through voting or similar rights to direct the activities of an entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance or (ii) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support. A variable interest holder is considered to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE if it has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Brookfield DTLA qualitatively assesses whether it is (or is not) the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Consideration of various factors includes, but is not limited to, Brookfield DTLA’s ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, its form of ownership interest, its representation on the VIE’s governing body, the size and seniority of its investment, its ability and the rights of other investors to participate in policy making decisions and its ability to replace the manager of and/or liquidate the entity. The Company earns a return through an indirect investment in Brookfield DTLA Fund Properties II LLC (“New OP”). Brookfield DTLA Holdings, the parent of Brookfield DTLA, owns all of the common interest in New OP. Brookfield DTLA has an indirect preferred stock interest in New OP and its wholly owned subsidiary is the managing member of New OP. The Company determined that New OP is a VIE and as a result of having the power to direct the significant activities of New OP and exposure to the economic performance of New OP, Brookfield DTLA meets the two conditions for being the primary beneficiary. Brookfield DTLA is required to continually evaluate its VIE relationships and consolidation conclusion.
Reclassifications	Reclassifications We had reported $220,000 of distributions to Brookfield DTLA Holdings in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2014 . We have reclassified this total to show $207,231 as distributions to senior participating preferred interest and $12,769 as dividends paid to senior participating preferred interest so as to conform to the 2016 and 2015 presentation. In December 2015, Brookfield DTLA adopted the guidance in Accounting Standards Update (“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. We have combined the amortization of deferred financing costs ( $1,007 ) and the amortization of debt discounts ( $5,042 ) for the year ended December 31, 2014 and presented a new total ( $6,049 ) in the consolidated statement of cash flows so as to reflect the presentation of such costs in the consolidated balance sheet.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. For example, estimates and assumptions have been made with respect to fair values of assets and liabilities for purposes of 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 May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09 establishing Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 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 guidance in ASU 2014-15 became effective for Brookfield DTLA for year-end December 31, 2016. The implementation of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated financial statements. In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis to ASC Topic 810 , Consolidation . ASU 2015-02 affects reporting entities that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. Specifically, the amendments: (i) modify the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are VIEs or voting interest entities, (ii) eliminate the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership, (iii) affect the consolidated analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs, and (iv) provide a scope exception for certain entities. The guidance in ASU 2015-02 became effective for Brookfield DTLA beginning January 1, 2016. The implementation of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03 that 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, consistent with debt discounts, as opposed to being presented as assets. Brookfield DTLA elected to early adopt ASU 2015-03 effective as of December 31, 2015. There was no effect on Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 as a result of adopting this pronouncement. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 establishing ASC Topic 842, Leases . The guidance in this update supersedes the guidance in ASC Topic 840, Leases . ASU 2016-02 revises GAAP related to accounting for leases by lessees. Under this new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset in the balance sheet for all leases with terms greater than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification determining the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of operations. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and should be applied using a modified retrospective approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments to ASC Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows . ASU 2016-15 clarifies guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows to reduce diversity in practice with respect to (i) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, (ii) settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing, (iii) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, (iv) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, (v) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies, (vi) distributions received from equity method investees, (vii) beneficial interests in securitization transactions, and (viii) separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. ASU 2016-15 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this update to have a material impact on Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated financial statements. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Restricted Cash to ASC Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows . ASU 2016-18 requires entities to show the changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. As a result, entities will no longer present transfers between cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption permitted, including adoption in an interim period. Upon adoption, we will retrospectively reconcile the activity in our cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents during reporting periods. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business to ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. ASU 2017-01 introduced amendments that are intended to make the guidance on the definition of a business more consistent and cost-efficient. The objective of the update is to add further guidance that assists entities in evaluating whether a transaction should be accounted for as an acquisition (or disposal) of assets or a business by providing a screen to determine when a set of assets and activities acquired is not a business. ASU 2017-01 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 including interim periods within those periods. ASU 2017-01 must be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2017-01 on Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated financial statements.
Business Combinations	Business Combinations— Purchase accounting is applied to the assets and liabilities related to all real estate investments acquired from third parties. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations , the purchase price of real estate acquired is allocated to acquired tangible assets, consisting primarily of land, building and tenant improvements, and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above- and below-market leases, in-place leases, and tenant relationships, based in each case on their fair value. The principal valuation technique employed by Brookfield DTLA in determining the fair value of identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed is the income approach, which is then compared to the cost approach. Tangible values for investments in real estate are calculated based on replacement costs for like type quality assets. Above- and below-market lease values are determined by comparing in-place rents with current market rents. In‑place lease amounts are determined by calculating the potential lost revenue during the replacement of the current leases in place. Leasing commissions and legal/marketing fees are determined based upon market allowances pro-rated over the remaining lease terms. Mortgage loans assumed in an acquisition are analyzed using current market terms for similar debt. The value of the acquired above-market and below-market leases are amortized and recorded as either a decrease (in the case of above-market leases) or an increase (in the case of below-market leases) to rental income in the consolidated statement of operations over the remaining term of the associated lease. The value of tenant relationships is amortized over the expected term of the relationship, which includes an estimated probability of lease renewal. The value of in-place leases is amortized as an expense over the remaining life of the leases. Amortization of tenant relationships and in‑place leases is included in depreciation and amortization in the consolidated statement of operations.
Investments in Real Estate	Investments in Real Estate— Land is carried at cost. Buildings are recorded at historical cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the building, which is 60 years with an estimated salvage value of 5% . Building improvements are recorded at historical cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which range from 7 years to 25 years. Tenant improvements that are determined to be assets of Brookfield DTLA are recorded at cost; amortization is included in depreciation and amortization expense in the consolidated statement of operations on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the useful life or the applicable lease term. Depreciation expense related to investments in real estate during the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 was $73.0 million , $67.0 million and $67.5 million , respectively. Real estate is reviewed for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the real estate may not be recoverable. In such an event, a comparison is made of the current and projected operating cash flows of the property into the foreseeable future on an undiscounted basis to the carrying amount of the real estate. If the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by an asset are less than its carrying amount, an impairment provision would be recorded to write down the carrying amount of such asset to its fair value. Brookfield DTLA assesses fair value based on estimated cash flow projections utilizing appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information. Projections of future cash flow take into account the specific business plan for the property and management’s best estimate of the most probable set of economic conditions expected to prevail in the market. Management believes no impairment of Brookfield DTLA’s real estate assets existed at December 31, 2016 and 2015 .
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents— Cash and cash equivalents include all cash and short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
Restricted Cash	Restricted Cash— Restricted cash consists primarily of deposits for tenant improvements and leasing commissions, real estate taxes and insurance reserves, debt service reserves and other items as required by our mortgage loan agreements.
Rents, Deferred Rents and Other Receivables, Net	Rents, Deferred Rents and Other Receivables, Net— Differences between rental income and the contractual amounts due are recorded as deferred rents receivable in the consolidated balance sheet. Brookfield DTLA evaluates its deferred rents receivable to consider if an allowance is necessary. Rents, deferred rents and other receivables, net also includes any amounts paid to a tenant for improvements owned or costs incurred by the tenant are treated as tenant inducements and are presented in the consolidated balance sheet net of accumulated amortization totaling $9.9 million and $6.5 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Amortization of tenant inducements is recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease as a reduction of rental income in the consolidated statement of operations. Brookfield DTLA periodically evaluates the collectability of amounts due from tenants and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts in the consolidated balance sheet for estimated losses resulting from the inability of tenants to make required payments under the lease agreements. Management exercises judgment in establishing these allowances and considers payment history and current credit status in developing these estimates. The allowance for doubtful accounts for Brookfield DTLA totaled $0.2 million and $0.5 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2016 , Brookfield DTLA recorded a $271 thousand recovery of doubtful accounts. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 , Brookfield DTLA recorded provisions for doubtful accounts of $103 thousand and $24 thousand , respectively.
Deferred Charges, Net	Deferred Charges, Net— Leasing costs are deferred and are presented as deferred charges in the consolidated balance sheet net of accumulated amortization totaling $49.6 million and $38.2 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Deferred leasing costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases as part of depreciation and amortization in the consolidated statement of operations.
Mortgage Loans, Net	Mortgage Loans, Net— Mortgage loans are presented in the consolidated balance sheet net of unamortized discounts and debt issuance costs totaling $9.1 million and $6.0 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Discounts and debt issuance costs totaling $4.3 million , $5.1 million and $6.0 million were amortized during the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively, over the terms of the related mortgage loans on a basis that approximates the effective interest method and are included as part of interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition— Rental income from leases providing for periodic increases in base rent is recognized on a straight-line basis over the noncancelable term of the respective leases. Certain leases with retail tenants also provide for the payment by the lessee of additional rent based on a percentage of the tenants’ sales. Percentage rents are recognized only after the tenant sales thresholds have been achieved. Recoveries of operating expenses and real estate taxes are recorded as tenant reimbursements in the consolidated statement of operations in the period during which the expenses are incurred.
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 conducts and 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. Brookfield DTLA has elected to treat certain of its subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”). Certain activities that we undertake must be conducted by a TRS, such as non-customary services for our tenants, and holding assets that we cannot hold directly. A TRS is subject to both federal and state income taxes. 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 made no provision for income taxes in its consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 . 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 of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , and Brookfield DTLA does not expect its unrecognized tax benefits balance to change during the next 12 months. As of December 31, 2016 , Brookfield DTLA’s 2013 tax period and 2014 and 2015 tax years remain open due to the statute of limitations and may be subject to examination by federal, state and local authorities. The 2012 tax year 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.
Derivative Financial Instruments	Derivative Financial Instruments— Brookfield DTLA uses interest rate swap and cap contracts to manage risk from fluctuations in interest rates as well as to hedge anticipated future financing transactions. Interest rate swaps involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts in exchange for fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying principal amount. Interest rate caps involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts beyond a specified strike price over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying principal amount. The Company believes these agreements are with counterparties who are creditworthy financial institutions. Brookfield DTLA adheres to the provisions of ASC Subtopic 815-10-15, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815-10-15”). ASC 815-10-15 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires the recognition of all derivative instruments as assets or liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges, or that do not meet the hedge accounting criteria in ASC 815-10-15, are required to be reported through the statement of operations. Brookfield DTLA has elected to designate its interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge.
Segment Reporting	Segment Reporting Brookfield DTLA operates in a single reportable segment referred to as its office segment, which includes the operation and management of commercial office properties. Each of Brookfield DTLA’s operating properties is considered a separate operating segment, as each property earns revenues and incurs expenses, individual operating results are reviewed and discrete financial information is available. Management does not distinguish or group Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated operations based on geography, size or type. Brookfield DTLA’s operating properties have similar economic characteristics and provide similar products and services to tenants. As a result, Brookfield DTLA’s operating properties are aggregated into a single reportable segment.
Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations	Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations Brookfield DTLA has evaluated whether it has any conditional asset retirement obligations, which are a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional upon future events that may or may not be within an entity’s control. The obligation to perform the asset retirement activity is unconditional even though uncertainty exists about the timing and/or method of settlement. Accordingly, Brookfield DTLA recognized a liability for a conditional asset retirement obligation.
