Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization and Basis of Presentation	Organization and Basis of Presentation Organization Liberty Property Trust (the “Trust”) is a self-administered and self-managed Maryland real estate investment trust (a “REIT”). Substantially all of the Trust’s assets are owned directly or indirectly, and substantially all of the Trust’s operations are conducted directly or indirectly, by its subsidiary, Liberty Property Limited Partnership, a Pennsylvania limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership” and, together with the Trust and their consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”). The Trust is the sole general partner and also a limited partner of the Operating Partnership, owning 97.7% of the common equity of the Operating Partnership at June 30, 2019 . The Company owns and operates industrial properties in the United States nationally, as well as in the United Kingdom. The Company intends to divest its remaining office properties (other than its headquarters) over the next few years and focus its efforts and capital solely on its industrial platform. Unless otherwise indicated, the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements apply to both the Trust and the Operating Partnership. The terms the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” mean the Trust and Operating Partnership collectively. The Operating Partnership is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) of the Trust as the limited partners do not have substantive kick-out or participating rights. The Trust is the primary beneficiary of the Operating Partnership as it has the power to direct the activities of the Operating Partnership and the rights to absorb 97.7% of the net income of the Operating Partnership. The Trust has no significant assets or liabilities other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. As the Operating Partnership is already consolidated in the balance sheets of the Trust, the identification of this entity as a VIE has no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Trust. In addition, the Company holds a 20% interest in Liberty/Comcast 1701 JFK Boulevard, LP which was determined to be a VIE. The Company determined that it is not the primary beneficiary as the Company and its third party partner share control of the joint venture. The Company's maximum exposure to loss is equal to its equity investment in the joint venture which was $74.8 million and $75.1 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2018 . In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for these interim periods have been included. The results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full fiscal year. Revenue Recognition In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance (except revenue in the scope of other accounting standards, including standards related to leasing). Subsequently, the FASB issued supplementary standards providing additional guidance and targeted improvements to ASU 2014-09 (collectively, the “Revenue Standards”). The Revenue Standards provide a unified model to determine how revenue is recognized. In accordance with the Revenue Standards, the Company performs the following steps: (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations within the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied. Upon adoption of the Revenue Standards, the Company evaluated each of its revenue streams: lease agreement revenue, development service fee revenue, deferred land sale revenue and gain or loss on sale of nonfinancial assets. The Company concluded that there are no revenue streams from its lease agreements that are covered by the Revenue Standards with the possible exception of non-lease components as further discussed below. The Revenue Standards did not have an impact on the amount and timing of recognizing the Company's development service fee income. The Company recognizes development service fee income on a variable basis as a percentage of costs incurred on third party development contracts. Property development services, which are a single performance obligation, continue to be satisfied and recognized over time. The Company measures its progress toward completing the performance obligations under each arrangement. The measurement of the transfer of value to the customer for these services utilizes the input method (actual costs incurred against anticipated project costs) since this method best depicts the actual transfer of value promised to the customer. Estimated expected losses on such contracts are accrued in the period in which they are determinable. The total amount of consideration to be received from these projects is assessed on a quarterly basis. Based on existing contracts, substantial completion is anticipated during 2019. The Company recognizes revenues from improving land sites and selling the underlying land on behalf of its development partner to home builders in the United Kingdom. These agreements typically contain a pre-emption clause and a seller's call option. The Company recognizes revenue as the pre-emption period or seller's call option lapses utilizing the output method. There was $2.2 million and $5.9 million in revenue recognized for such contracts during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. The Revenue Standards did not have an impact on the gain or loss on sale of nonfinancial assets. The Revenue Standards require the Company to derecognize nonfinancial assets once it transfers control of a distinct nonfinancial asset or distinct in-substance nonfinancial asset. Additionally, when the Company transfers its controlling interest in a nonfinancial asset, but retains a noncontrolling ownership interest, the Company is required to measure any noncontrolling interest it receives or retains at fair value. The guidance requires companies to recognize a full gain or loss on the transaction. See Notes 5 and 7 for further discussion of sales of nonfinancial assets during the six months ended June 30, 2019. Estimated gross revenue related to the remaining performance obligations under existing contracts (before allocation of related costs and expenses) as of June 30, 2019 that will be recognized as revenue in future periods was approximately $33.6 million , which is expected to be recognized in 2019 through 2021. Recently Issued Accounting Standards Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”). Additional guidance and targeted improvements to ASU 2016-02 were made through the issuances of supplementary ASUs in July 2018, December 2018 and March 2019 (collectively, the "New Lease Standard"). The New Lease Standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e., lessees and lessors). It requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase of the leased asset by the lessee. This classification will determine whether the lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The New Lease Standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to prior guidance for sales type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. The New Lease Standards limit capitalization of certain initial direct costs which were capitalizable under previous lease standards. Such costs, which were expensed during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, were $0.3 million and $0.6 million , respectively. The Company adopted the New Lease Standard on January 1, 2019 and applied it using a modified retrospective approach whereby the cumulative effect of the adoption was recognized on the adoption date and prior periods were not restated. There was no net cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2019 as a result of this adoption. The following practical expedients available for implementation were elected: a. whether an expired or existing contract meets the definition of a lease b. the lease classification at the adoption date for existing or expired leases c. whether costs previously capitalized as initial direct costs would continue to be amortized Additionally, the Company has elected the practical expedient not to recognize right of use assets and lease liabilities with a term of one year or less. The Company's leases met the criteria in the New Lease Standard to not separate non-lease components from the related lease component; therefore, the accounting for these leases remained largely unchanged from the previous standard. The Company has elected to exclude sales and other similar taxes from the measurement of lease revenue and expense and the Company has excluded those costs paid directly by lessees to third parties. Lessee Disclosure As of June 30, 2019, the Company had a total of five properties subject to operating ground leases in Florida, New Jersey, Kentucky and the United Kingdom with a weighted average remaining term of 47 years. These leases have remaining terms of 11 to 110 years, expiration dates of June 2030 to June 2129, and renewal options of 25 to 48 years. The Company has included in the lease terms renewal options up to the useful life of the asset constructed on the land. Payments for certain properties are subject to increases at five year intervals based upon the agreed or appraised fair market value of the leased premises on the adjustment date or the Consumer Price Index percentage increase since the base rent date. These future changes in payments are considered variable payments and do not impact the assessment of the asset or liability unless there is a significant event that triggers reassessment, such as an amendment with a change in the terms of the lease. The Company used discount rates in a range of 4.1% to 5.0% for a weighted average discount rate of 4.6% , which was derived from the Company's assessment of credit quality of the Company adjusted to reflect secured borrowing, estimated yield curves and long-term spread adjustments over appropriate tenures. The Company also leases office space from unrelated third-parties. The Company recognized lease expense of $482,000 and $950,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, of which $453,000 and $886,000 , respectively, was paid in cash. The following schedule indicates the approximate future minimum lease payments for the ground and office leases as of June 30, 2019: Year Amount (in thousands) 2019 (remainder of year) $ 735 2020 1,373 2021 1,235 2022 1,136 2023 1,036 Thereafter 40,770 Total minimum payments $ 46,285 Imputed interest (27,311 ) Amortization (357 ) Lease liabilities $ 18,617 Deferred rent (686 ) Right of use asset $ 17,931 As noted above, the Company adopted the New Lease Standard effective January 1, 2019. Since the Company has applied the provisions on a modified retrospective basis, the following represents approximate future minimum lease payments by year as of December 31, 2018, as applicable under ASC 840, Leases, prior to the adoption of the New Lease Standard. Year Amount (in thousands) 2019 $ 1,512 2020 1,356 2021 1,205 2022 1,082 2023 981 Thereafter 40,799 $ 46,935 The Company recorded ground lease expense of $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. Lessor Disclosures The Company leases its operating properties to customers under agreements that are classified as operating leases. It manages residual risk through investing in properties that it believes will appreciate in value over time. Substantially all of the Company's operating leases contain provisions for specified annual increases over the rents of the prior year. Rental income from operating leases is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term when the Company has determined that the collectibility of substantially all the lease payments is probable. If the Company determines that it is not probable that substantially all of the lease payments will be collected, the Company accounts for the revenue under the lease on a cash basis. Changes in the assessment of probability are accounted for on a cumulative basis as if the lease had always been accounted for based on the current determination of the likelihood of collection potentially resulting in increased volatility of rental revenue. Some of the Company's leases have options to extend, terminate or purchase the facilities, which are considered when determining the lease term. Tenant rights to purchase an underlying asset are typically at prevailing market rates at the time of purchase. The Company does not include in measurement of lease receivables certain variable payments, including changes in an index, until the specific events that trigger the variable payments have occurred. Generally operating leases require the tenants to reimburse the Company for property tax and other expenditures that are not considered components of the lease and therefore no consideration is allocated to them as they do not result in the transfer of a good or service to the tenants. The Company has determined that all of its leases qualify for the practical expedient to not separate the lease and non-lease components because (i) the lease components are operating leases and (ii) the timing and pattern of recognition of the non-lease components are the same as the lease components. The Company applies the New Lease Standard to the combined component. Income derived from the Company's leases is recorded in rental revenue in the Company's consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Certain tenants are obligated to pay directly their obligations under their leases for real estate taxes, insurance and certain other expenses. These obligations, which have been assumed by the tenants under the terms of their respective leases, are not reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements. To the extent any tenant responsible for these obligations under the respective lease defaults on its lease or if it is deemed probable that the tenant will fail to pay for such costs, the Company would record a liability for such obligation. The following details the rental income and variable lease income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 (in thousands): Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 June 30, 2019 Rental income - operating leases - continuing operations $ 123,544 $ 244,617 Rental income - operating leases - discontinued operations 8,581 19,250 Variable lease income - operating leases - continuing operations 36,815 72,115 Variable lease income - operating leases - discontinued operations 2,737 5,845 The following amounts reflect the estimated contractual rents due to the Company for the remainder of terms of the Company's operating leases as of June 30, 2019: (in thousands) Remainder of 2019 $ 257,238 2020 494,928 2021 439,299 2022 369,584 2023 300,516 2024 242,833 Thereafter 863,024 Total $ 2,967,422 Other In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities ("ASU 2017-12"). ASU 2017-12 is designed to better align a company’s financial reporting for hedging activities with the economic objectives of those activities. The Company adopted ASU 2017-12 on January 1, 2019 and it did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software: Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract ("ASU 2018-15"). ASU 2018-15 amends the definition of a hosting arrangement and requires a customer in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract to capitalize certain implementation costs as if the arrangement was an internal-use software project. ASU 2018-15 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020. The Company does not anticipate the impact of ASU 2018-15 will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Property, Plant and Equipment [Abstract]
Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets	7 : Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets In 2017, the Company initiated a strategic shift whereby it adopted a plan to divest of its remaining suburban office properties. In the third quarter of 2018, the Company updated its strategy whereby it adopted a plan to divest of all of its remaining office properties. The Company determined that the strategic shift would have a major effect on its operations and financial results. As such, properties sold or those that meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale within the corporate strategy were classified within discontinued operations. Consistent with the held for sale criteria these properties are expected to be sold within one year . As the result of the classification within discontinued operations, the in-service assets and liabilities of this portfolio are required to be presented as held for sale for all prior periods presented in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Operating results pertaining to these properties were reclassified to discontinued operations for all prior periods presented in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The following table illustrates the number of sold or held for sale properties included in, or excluded from, discontinued operations: Held for sale as of June 30, 2019 Sold during the six months ended June 30, 2019 Sold during the year ended December 31, 2018 Total Properties included in discontinued operations 14 8 37 59 Properties included in continuing operations 3 — 2 5 Properties sold or classified as held for sale 17 8 39 64 In addition, there were four properties comprising 86.0 acres included as held for sale as of June 30, 2019. The properties held for sale with operating results in discontinued operations as of June 30, 2019 were located in the following reportable segments: two properties in Southeastern PA, one property in Chicago/Minneapolis, eight properties in Philadelphia one property in DC Metro and two in the United Kingdom. A summary of the results of operations for the properties classified as discontinued operations is as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 June 30, 2018 June 30, 2019 June 30, 2018 Revenues $ 11,318 $ 23,085 $ 25,095 $ 49,702 Operating expenses (3,452 ) (5,253 ) (7,787 ) (11,952 ) Depreciation and amortization (62 ) (3,073 ) (2,129 ) (8,472 ) Impairment charges - real estate assets (4,018 ) — (14,292 ) — Interest and other income (expense) (39 ) (29 ) (60 ) (58 ) Income taxes (261 ) (30 ) (293 ) (55 ) Loss on debt extinguishment (7,618 ) — (7,618 ) — Interest expense (466 ) (1,748 ) (1,174 ) (3,717 ) Gain (loss) on property dispositions 52,837 (240 ) 72,024 89,772 Income from discontinued operations 48,239 12,712 63,766 115,220 Noncontrolling interest - operating partnership (1,114 ) (296 ) (1,479 ) (2,685 ) Noncontrolling interest - consolidated joint venture (120 ) (110 ) (187 ) (187 ) Income from discontinued operations available to common shareholders $ 47,005 $ 12,306 $ 62,100 $ 112,348 Interest expense has been allocated to discontinued operations. The allocation of interest expense to discontinued operations was based on the ratio of net assets sold and held for sale included in discontinued operations to the sum of total net assets plus consolidated debt. Capital expenditures on a cash basis related to properties within discontinued operations were $2.1 million and $3.5 million , respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, and $11.2 million and $27.4 million , respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. Assets Held for Sale As of June 30, 2019 , 17 properties were classified as held for sale, of which 14 properties met the criteria to be classified within discontinued operations and three properties were classified within continuing operations. In addition, there were four properties comprising 86.0 acres included as held for sale as of June 30, 2019. The following table illustrates aggregate balance sheet information for all held for sale properties (in thousands): June 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 Included in Continuing Operations Included in Discontinued Operations Total Included in Continuing Operations Included in Discontinued Operations Total Land and land improvements $ 3,056 $ 91,677 $ 94,733 $ 1,301 $ 113,080 $ 114,381 Buildings and improvements 25,119 253,295 278,414 5,638 384,737 390,375 Development in progress — 10,269 10,269 — 9,597 9,597 Land held for development 21,120 — 21,120 26,253 — 26,253 Accumulated depreciation (6,559 ) (36,946 ) (43,505 ) (1,546 ) (70,242 ) (71,788 ) Deferred financing and leasing costs, net 1,099 10,848 11,947 58 13,697 13,755 Other assets 1,153 12,595 13,748 164 19,470 19,634 Total assets held for sale $ 44,988 $ 341,738 $ 386,726 $ 31,868 $ 470,339 $ 502,207 Total liabilities held for sale $ 2,941 $ 16,092 $ 19,033 $ 141 $ 20,990 $ 21,131 Impairment Charges - Real Estate Assets The Company recorded $4.0 million and $14.4 million of impairment charges during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , respectively. These impairment charges were primarily related to an office building held for sale in the Company's DC Metro segment and is primarily included in discontinued operations in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The Company determined these impairments based on third party offer prices which are Level 2 according to the fair value hierarchy established in ASC 820. The Company recorded a $26.0 million impairment charge during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. This charge related to the Camden Waterfront project located in Camden, New Jersey and reported in the Company's Philadelphia reportable segment. The Company determined this impairment based on quoted offer prices on comparable properties, which is a Level 3 fair value calculation. The Company has applied reasonable estimates and judgments in evaluating each of its properties and land held for development and has determined that there are no additional valuation adjustments necessary at June 30, 2019 . Should external or internal circumstances change requiring the need to shorten the holding periods or adjust the estimated future cash flows of the Company’s assets, the Company could be required to record additional impairment charges in the future.

Debt Instrument, Fair Value Disclosure [Abstract]
Disclosure of Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Fair Value of Financial Instruments ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures , provides guidance on the fair value measurement of a financial asset or liability. Inputs used to develop fair value are classified in one of three categories: Level 1 inputs (quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities), Level 2 inputs (inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly) and Level 3 inputs (unobservable inputs for the asset or liability). The following disclosure of estimated fair value was determined by management using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. Accordingly, the following estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could have realized on disposition of the financial instruments at December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2019 . The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued interest, dividend and distributions payable and other liabilities are reasonable estimates of fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying value of the outstanding amounts under the Company's credit facilities is a reasonable estimate of fair value because interest rates float at a rate based on LIBOR. The Company determines the fair value of its interest rate swaps by using the standard methodology of netting discounted future fixed cash payments with the discounted expected variable cash receipts. These variable cash receipts of interest rate swaps are based on expectations of future LIBOR interest rates (forward curves) estimated by observing market LIBOR interest rate curves. This is a Level 2 fair value calculation. Also, credit valuation adjustments are factored into the fair value calculations to account for potential nonperformance risk. These credit valuation adjustments were concluded to be not significant inputs for the fair value calculations for the periods presented. See Note 14 - Derivative Instruments. The Company used a discounted cash flow model to determine the estimated fair value of its debt as of December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2019 . This is a Level 3 fair value calculation. The inputs used in preparing the discounted cash flow model include actual maturity dates and scheduled cash flows as well as estimates for market value discount rates. The Company updates the discounted cash flow model on a quarterly basis to reflect any changes in the Company's debt holdings and changes to discount rate assumptions. The following summarizes the fair value of the Company's mortgage loans and unsecured notes as of December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2019 (in thousands): Mortgage Loans Unsecured Notes Carrying Value Fair Value Carrying Value Fair Value As of December 31, 2018 $ 395,202 $ 397,167 $ 2,285,698 $ 2,295,699 As of June 30, 2019 $ 351,493 $ 402,794 $ 2,632,881 $ 2,795,031

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]
Unconsolidated Joint Ventures	Unconsolidated Joint Ventures Liberty Property 18th & Arch LP and Liberty Property 18th & Arch Hotel, LP On June 30, 2014, the Company entered into two joint ventures for the purpose of developing and owning the Comcast Technology Center (the “Project”) located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as part of a mixed-use development. The 60 -story building includes 1.3 million square feet of leasable office space (the “Office”), which is substantially complete and fully occupied by Comcast Corporation, and a 219 -room Four Seasons Hotel (the “Hotel”), which is nearing substantial completion and is scheduled to open to the public in August 2019. Costs for the development of the Project, exclusive of tenant-funded interior improvements, are anticipated to be approximately $968 million . As of June 30, 2019, the Company's investment in the project is $193.5 million and is reflected in investments in and advances to unconsolidated joint ventures in the Company's consolidated balance sheet. These joint ventures are part of the Company's Philadelphia reportable segment. The two joint ventures engaged the Company as the developer of the Project pursuant to a Development Agreement by which the Company agreed, in consideration for a development fee, to be responsible for all aspects of the development of the Project and to guarantee the timely lien-free completion of construction of the Project as well as the payment, subject to certain exceptions, of any cost overruns incurred in the development of the Project. To mitigate its risk, the Company entered into guaranteed maximum price contracts (the "GMP Contracts") with a third party contractor (the "General Contractor") to construct the Project. The Company has been notified by the General Contractor that the General Contractor has incurred cost overruns comprised of amounts owed to third-party subcontractors and internal general condition costs of the General Contractor in connection with completing the Project in excess of the guaranteed maximum price payable to the General Contractor under the GMP Contracts, which guaranteed maximum price has been previously adjusted pursuant to accepted change orders. Notwithstanding the GMP Contracts, the General Contractor has generally refused to fund the cost overruns owed to third-party subcontractors, and the Company has funded, and may continue to fund, subcontractor cost overruns in compliance with its obligations under its development cost guarantee to the joint ventures. Accordingly, in periods prior to 2019, the Company accrued $69.3 million relating primarily to cost overruns that it estimated were probable of being funded to third-party subcontractors under its development cost guarantees to the joint ventures. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company's remaining accrual was $34.8 million and $67.3 million , respectively (including, in each case, estimated retainage of approximately $24 million payable to subcontractors), which accruals are included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are reflective of amounts cumulatively funded by the Company as of those dates. The Company is accounting for the development of the Project on a variable basis as a percentage of costs incurred under the development contract. The Company recognized a loss of $60.0 million and $61.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, in development service fee income, net of development service fee expense and other related expenses. There was no loss or gain recognized related to the Project during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. The Company intends to pursue all remedies to recover from the General Contractor any amounts expended by the Company or the joint ventures in excess of their contractual obligations. In addition to the costs to comply with the Company's obligations under its development cost guarantee, other claims related to the development of the Project have been asserted by the General Contractor and certain subcontractors. Should disputes with respect to these asserted claims proceed, the Company expects that it would assert claims against the General Contractor, both with respect to the claims as to which the above-described accrual has been made, as well as with respect to the additional claims described in this paragraph. There can be no assurances that amounts incurred, including as a result of such claims, will not exceed the above estimates. The Company is not able to reasonably estimate the amount of additional costs, if any, that it may incur as a result of such claims, and accordingly any potential exposure of the Company for such claims is not included within the accrual described above. Similarly, the Company is not able to reasonably estimate the amount, if any, that the Company may recover with respect to any claims it may assert against the General Contractor. If the Company were to incur additional expenses in connection with its development cost guarantee or in connection with such claims, such amounts would be accrued when they are determined to be probable of being incurred and are reasonably estimable, and could be material to the Company's results of operations in future periods. If the Company were to subsequently recover any of the cost overruns initially funded by the Company, whether pursuant to any such claims asserted by the Company or otherwise, such recoveries would be recorded when and if realized in future periods. Liberty Washington, LP During the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company concluded that a property owned by this joint venture and held for sale had an indicator of impairment resulting from a decline in the Washington, DC market fundamentals. The joint venture recognized an impairment charge of $16.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. The Company's share of this impairment charges was $4.1 million for the same periods. The impairment charge is related to the Company's DC Metro reportable segment and the Company's share is included in equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The Company determined these impairments based on estimated future discounted cash flows. This is a Level 3 fair value calculation. Cambridge Medipark Ltd During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , Cambridge Medipark, Ltd (a joint venture in which the Company holds a 50% interest) recognized gains on the sale of land leasehold interests. The Company's share of these gains was $244,000 and $1.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, compared to $1.7 million and $3.7 million

Derivative Instruments

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Instruments	Derivative Instruments The Company borrows funds at a combination of fixed and variable rates. Borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility and certain bank mortgage loans bear interest at variable rates. Other long-term debt typically bears interest at fixed rates. The Company's interest rate risk management objectives are to limit generally the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower the Company's overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, from time to time, the Company enters into interest rate hedge contracts such as collars, swaps, caps and treasury lock agreements in order to mitigate our interest rate risk with respect to various debt instruments. The Company generally does not hold or issue these derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes. Interest rate swaps involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. The changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and noncontrolling interest (for the Trust) and general partner's equity and limited partners ’ equity - common units (for the Operating Partnership) and is subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The Company determines the fair value of its interest rate swaps by netting discounted future fixed cash payments with the discounted expected variable cash receipts. These variable cash receipts of interest rate swaps are based on expectations of future LIBOR interest rates (forward curves) estimated by observing market LIBOR interest rate curves. This is a Level 2 fair value calculation. Also, credit valuation adjustments are factored into the fair value calculations to account for potential nonperformance risk. These credit valuation adjustments were concluded to be not significant inputs for the fair value calculations for the periods presented. The Company holds an interest in two interest rate swap contracts (“Swaps”) that eliminate the impact of changes in interest rates on the payments required under variable rate mortgages. The Swaps had aggregate notional amounts of $65.7 million and $66.8 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively, and expire in 2020 . In addition, in late 2018, in anticipation of conducting the offering of senior notes described in Note 11, the Operating Partnership entered into two interest rate lock agreements tied to the U.S. treasury rate for an aggregate notional amount of $200 million . An interest rate lock is a tool used to manage interest-rate risk by effectively securing interest rates on federal government securities as of the agreement date. One agreement had a notional amount of $100 million and expired and was settled in 2018 for $2.4 million . The second agreement had a notional amount of $100 million and expired in 2019. It was settled for $3.3 million prior to consummation of such offering of senior notes. The interest rate lock agreements qualified as cash flow hedges with respect to the senior notes offering and, as such, the settlements of $5.7 million will be amortized into interest expense over the respective term of the notes. The Company accounts for the changes in the fair value of a derivative in accumulated other comprehensive loss and subsequently reclassifies amounts to earnings over the term that the hedged transaction affects earnings. The following table presents the location in the financial statements of the gains or losses recognized related to the Company’s cash flow hedges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 (in thousands): Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 June 30, 2018 June 30, 2019 June 30, 2018 Amount of gain related to the effective portion recognized in other comprehensive (loss) income $ (147 ) $ 148 $ 412 $ 550 Total Amount of Interest Expense Presented in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income 25,406 21,454 50,903 42,944 The following table presents the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as well as their classification on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (amounts in thousands): Derivatives Fair Value at: Balance Sheet Location June 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 Derivatives designated as hedging instruments: Interest Rate Swaps Other Liabilities $ 567 $ 677 Interest Rate Treasury Locks Other Liabilities — 3,972 Total $ 567 $ 4,649 Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s debt. The Company estimates that $0.5 million will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss as an increase to interest expense over the next 12 months. The Company has agreements with its derivative counterparties that contain a provision whereby if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including defaults where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations. If the Company were to breach any of the contractual provisions of the derivative contracts, it would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value including accrued interest, which totaled approximately $0.6 million as of June 30, 2019 .

Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Environmental Matters Substantially all of the Company's properties and land were subject to Phase I Environmental Assessments and when appropriate Phase II Environmental Assessments (collectively, the “Environmental Assessments”) obtained in contemplation of their acquisition by the Company or obtained by predecessor owners prior to the sale of the property or land to the Company. The Environmental Assessments did not reveal, nor is the Company aware of, any non-compliance with environmental laws, environmental liability or other environmental claim that the Company believes would likely have a material adverse effect on the Company. Legal Matters From time to time, the Company is a party to a variety of legal proceedings, claims and assessments arising in the normal course of business. As of June 30, 2019 there were no legal proceedings, claims or assessments that the Company expects to have a material adverse effect on the Company. However, see Note 13 for discussion of Comcast Technology Center. Other As of June 30, 2019 , the Company had letter of credit obligations of $8.3 million . As of June 30, 2019 , the Company had 24 buildings under development. These buildings are expected to contain, when completed, a total of 6.8 million square feet of leasable space and represent an anticipated aggregate investment of $584.3 million . At June 30, 2019 , development in progress totaled $416.0 million . In addition, as of June 30, 2019 , the Company had invested $18.0 million in deferred leasing costs related to these development buildings. The Company is currently developing three properties for its unconsolidated joint ventures which represent an anticipated aggregate investment by the joint ventures of $ 247.8 million . As of June 30, 2019, the Company was committed to the following: • $12.0 million in improvements on certain buildings and land parcels; • $44.5 million in future land acquisitions which it expects to complete during the year ending December 31, 2019; • up to $16.9 million of tenant improvements not yet completed; and • infrastructure improvements of approximately $1.0 million . The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents at financial institutions. The combined account balances at each institution typically exceed FDIC insurance coverage and, as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit in excess of FDIC insurance coverage. The Company believes the risk is not significant. Two unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company holds an interest have engaged the Company as the developer of the Comcast Technology Center (the “Project") pursuant to a Development Agreement by which the Company agrees, in consideration for a development fee, to be responsible for all aspects of the development of the Project and to guarantee the timely lien-free completion of construction of the Project as well as the payment, subject to certain exceptions, of any cost overruns incurred in the development of the Project. See Note 13 for details on the commitments and contingencies associated with the Project.

Such costs are not contained within net real estate. However, they are integral to the completion of a tenant lease and ultimately are related to the improvement and thus the value of the Company’s property, plant and equipment. They are therefore included in investing activities in the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Revenue Recognition In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance (except revenue in the scope of other accounting standards, including standards related to leasing). Subsequently, the FASB issued supplementary standards providing additional guidance and targeted improvements to ASU 2014-09 (collectively, the “Revenue Standards”). The Revenue Standards provide a unified model to determine how revenue is recognized. In accordance with the Revenue Standards, the Company performs the following steps: (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations within the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied. Upon adoption of the Revenue Standards, the Company evaluated each of its revenue streams: lease agreement revenue, development service fee revenue, deferred land sale revenue and gain or loss on sale of nonfinancial assets. The Company concluded that there are no revenue streams from its lease agreements that are covered by the Revenue Standards with the possible exception of non-lease components as further discussed below. The Revenue Standards did not have an impact on the amount and timing of recognizing the Company's development service fee income. The Company recognizes development service fee income on a variable basis as a percentage of costs incurred on third party development contracts. Property development services, which are a single performance obligation, continue to be satisfied and recognized over time. The Company measures its progress toward completing the performance obligations under each arrangement. The measurement of the transfer of value to the customer for these services utilizes the input method (actual costs incurred against anticipated project costs) since this method best depicts the actual transfer of value promised to the customer. Estimated expected losses on such contracts are accrued in the period in which they are determinable. The total amount of consideration to be received from these projects is assessed on a quarterly basis. Based on existing contracts, substantial completion is anticipated during 2019. The Company recognizes revenues from improving land sites and selling the underlying land on behalf of its development partner to home builders in the United Kingdom. These agreements typically contain a pre-emption clause and a seller's call option. The Company recognizes revenue as the pre-emption period or seller's call option lapses utilizing the output method. There was $2.2 million and $5.9 million in revenue recognized for such contracts during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. The Revenue Standards did not have an impact on the gain or loss on sale of nonfinancial assets. The Revenue Standards require the Company to derecognize nonfinancial assets once it transfers control of a distinct nonfinancial asset or distinct in-substance nonfinancial asset. Additionally, when the Company transfers its controlling interest in a nonfinancial asset, but retains a noncontrolling ownership interest, the Company is required to measure any noncontrolling interest it receives or retains at fair value. The guidance requires companies to recognize a full gain or loss on the transaction. See Notes 5 and 7 for further discussion of sales of nonfinancial assets during the six months ended June 30, 2019. Estimated gross revenue related to the remaining performance obligations under existing contracts (before allocation of related costs and expenses) as of June 30, 2019 that will be recognized as revenue in future periods was approximately $33.6 million , which is expected to be recognized in 2019 through 2021. Recently Issued Accounting Standards Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”). Additional guidance and targeted improvements to ASU 2016-02 were made through the issuances of supplementary ASUs in July 2018, December 2018 and March 2019 (collectively, the "New Lease Standard"). The New Lease Standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e., lessees and lessors). It requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase of the leased asset by the lessee. This classification will determine whether the lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The New Lease Standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to prior guidance for sales type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. The New Lease Standards limit capitalization of certain initial direct costs which were capitalizable under previous lease standards. Such costs, which were expensed during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, were $0.3 million and $0.6 million , respectively. The Company adopted the New Lease Standard on January 1, 2019 and applied it using a modified retrospective approach whereby the cumulative effect of the adoption was recognized on the adoption date and prior periods were not restated. There was no net cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2019 as a result of this adoption. The following practical expedients available for implementation were elected: a. whether an expired or existing contract meets the definition of a lease b. the lease classification at the adoption date for existing or expired leases c. whether costs previously capitalized as initial direct costs would continue to be amortized Additionally, the Company has elected the practical expedient not to recognize right of use assets and lease liabilities with a term of one year or less. The Company's leases met the criteria in the New Lease Standard to not separate non-lease components from the related lease component; therefore, the accounting for these leases remained largely unchanged from the previous standard. The Company has elected to exclude sales and other similar taxes from the measurement of lease revenue and expense and the Company has excluded those costs paid directly by lessees to third parties. Lessee Disclosure As of June 30, 2019, the Company had a total of five properties subject to operating ground leases in Florida, New Jersey, Kentucky and the United Kingdom with a weighted average remaining term of 47 years. These leases have remaining terms of 11 to 110 years, expiration dates of June 2030 to June 2129, and renewal options of 25 to 48 years. The Company has included in the lease terms renewal options up to the useful life of the asset constructed on the land. Payments for certain properties are subject to increases at five year intervals based upon the agreed or appraised fair market value of the leased premises on the adjustment date or the Consumer Price Index percentage increase since the base rent date. These future changes in payments are considered variable payments and do not impact the assessment of the asset or liability unless there is a significant event that triggers reassessment, such as an amendment with a change in the terms of the lease. The Company used discount rates in a range of 4.1% to 5.0% for a weighted average discount rate of 4.6% , which was derived from the Company's assessment of credit quality of the Company adjusted to reflect secured borrowing, estimated yield curves and long-term spread adjustments over appropriate tenures. The Company also leases office space from unrelated third-parties. The Company recognized lease expense of $482,000 and $950,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, of which $453,000 and $886,000 , respectively, was paid in cash. The following schedule indicates the approximate future minimum lease payments for the ground and office leases as of June 30, 2019: Year Amount (in thousands) 2019 (remainder of year) $ 735 2020 1,373 2021 1,235 2022 1,136 2023 1,036 Thereafter 40,770 Total minimum payments $ 46,285 Imputed interest (27,311 ) Amortization (357 ) Lease liabilities $ 18,617 Deferred rent (686 ) Right of use asset $ 17,931 As noted above, the Company adopted the New Lease Standard effective January 1, 2019. Since the Company has applied the provisions on a modified retrospective basis, the following represents approximate future minimum lease payments by year as of December 31, 2018, as applicable under ASC 840, Leases, prior to the adoption of the New Lease Standard. Year Amount (in thousands) 2019 $ 1,512 2020 1,356 2021 1,205 2022 1,082 2023 981 Thereafter 40,799 $ 46,935 The Company recorded ground lease expense of $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. Lessor Disclosures The Company leases its operating properties to customers under agreements that are classified as operating leases. It manages residual risk through investing in properties that it believes will appreciate in value over time. Substantially all of the Company's operating leases contain provisions for specified annual increases over the rents of the prior year. Rental income from operating leases is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term when the Company has determined that the collectibility of substantially all the lease payments is probable. If the Company determines that it is not probable that substantially all of the lease payments will be collected, the Company accounts for the revenue under the lease on a cash basis. Changes in the assessment of probability are accounted for on a cumulative basis as if the lease had always been accounted for based on the current determination of the likelihood of collection potentially resulting in increased volatility of rental revenue. Some of the Company's leases have options to extend, terminate or purchase the facilities, which are considered when determining the lease term. Tenant rights to purchase an underlying asset are typically at prevailing market rates at the time of purchase. The Company does not include in measurement of lease receivables certain variable payments, including changes in an index, until the specific events that trigger the variable payments have occurred. Generally operating leases require the tenants to reimburse the Company for property tax and other expenditures that are not considered components of the lease and therefore no consideration is allocated to them as they do not result in the transfer of a good or service to the tenants. The Company has determined that all of its leases qualify for the practical expedient to not separate the lease and non-lease components because (i) the lease components are operating leases and (ii) the timing and pattern of recognition of the non-lease components are the same as the lease components. The Company applies the New Lease Standard to the combined component. Income derived from the Company's leases is recorded in rental revenue in the Company's consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Certain tenants are obligated to pay directly their obligations under their leases for real estate taxes, insurance and certain other expenses. These obligations, which have been assumed by the tenants under the terms of their respective leases, are not reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements. To the extent any tenant responsible for these obligations under the respective lease defaults on its lease or if it is deemed probable that the tenant will fail to pay for such costs, the Company would record a liability for such obligation. The following details the rental income and variable lease income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 (in thousands): Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 June 30, 2019 Rental income - operating leases - continuing operations $ 123,544 $ 244,617 Rental income - operating leases - discontinued operations 8,581 19,250 Variable lease income - operating leases - continuing operations 36,815 72,115 Variable lease income - operating leases - discontinued operations 2,737 5,845 The following amounts reflect the estimated contractual rents due to the Company for the remainder of terms of the Company's operating leases as of June 30, 2019: (in thousands) Remainder of 2019 $ 257,238 2020 494,928 2021 439,299 2022 369,584 2023 300,516 2024 242,833 Thereafter 863,024 Total $ 2,967,422 Other In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities ("ASU 2017-12"). ASU 2017-12 is designed to better align a company’s financial reporting for hedging activities with the economic objectives of those activities. The Company adopted ASU 2017-12 on January 1, 2019 and it did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software: Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract ("ASU 2018-15"). ASU 2018-15 amends the definition of a hosting arrangement and requires a customer in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract to capitalize certain implementation costs as if the arrangement was an internal-use software project. ASU 2018-15 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020. The Company does not anticipate the impact of ASU 2018-15 will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Segment Reporting	The Company evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based on net operating income. Net operating income includes operating revenue from external customers, real estate taxes, amortization of lease transaction costs and other operating expenses which relate directly to the management and operation of the assets within each reportable segment.
Discontinued Operations	The Company determined that the strategic shift would have a major effect on its operations and financial results. As such, properties sold or those that meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale within the corporate strategy were classified within discontinued operations. Consistent with the held for sale criteria these properties are expected to be sold within one year . As the result of the classification within discontinued operations, the in-service assets and liabilities of this portfolio are required to be presented as held for sale for all prior periods presented in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Operating results pertaining to these properties were reclassified to discontinued operations for all prior periods presented in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures , provides guidance on the fair value measurement of a financial asset or liability. Inputs used to develop fair value are classified in one of three categories: Level 1 inputs (quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities), Level 2 inputs (inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly) and Level 3 inputs (unobservable inputs for the asset or liability). The following disclosure of estimated fair value was determined by management using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. Accordingly, the following estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could have realized on disposition of the financial instruments at December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2019 . The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued interest, dividend and distributions payable and other liabilities are reasonable estimates of fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying value of the outstanding amounts under the Company's credit facilities is a reasonable estimate of fair value because interest rates float at a rate based on LIBOR. The Company determines the fair value of its interest rate swaps by using the standard methodology of netting discounted future fixed cash payments with the discounted expected variable cash receipts. These variable cash receipts of interest rate swaps are based on expectations of future LIBOR interest rates (forward curves) estimated by observing market LIBOR interest rate curves. This is a Level 2 fair value calculation. Also, credit valuation adjustments are factored into the fair value calculations to account for potential nonperformance risk. These credit valuation adjustments were concluded to be not significant inputs for the fair value calculations for the periods presented. See Note 14 - Derivative Instruments. The Company used a discounted cash flow model to determine the estimated fair value of its debt as of December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2019 . This is a Level 3 fair value calculation. The inputs used in preparing the discounted cash flow model include actual maturity dates and scheduled cash flows as well as estimates for market value discount rates. The Company updates the discounted cash flow model on a quarterly basis to reflect any changes in the Company's debt holdings and changes to discount rate assumptions.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivatives, Policy [Policy Text Block]	The Company borrows funds at a combination of fixed and variable rates. Borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility and certain bank mortgage loans bear interest at variable rates. Other long-term debt typically bears interest at fixed rates. The Company's interest rate risk management objectives are to limit generally the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower the Company's overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, from time to time, the Company enters into interest rate hedge contracts such as collars, swaps, caps and treasury lock agreements in order to mitigate our interest rate risk with respect to various debt instruments. The Company generally does not hold or issue these derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes. Interest rate swaps involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. The changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and noncontrolling interest (for the Trust) and general partner's equity and limited partners ’ equity - common units (for the Operating Partnership) and is subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The Company determines the fair value of its interest rate swaps by netting discounted future fixed cash payments with the discounted expected variable cash receipts. These variable cash receipts of interest rate swaps are based on expectations of future LIBOR interest rates (forward curves) estimated by observing market LIBOR interest rate curves. This is a Level 2 fair value calculation. Also, credit valuation adjustments are factored into the fair value calculations to account for potential nonperformance risk. These credit valuation adjustments were concluded to be not significant inputs for the fair value calculations for the periods presented.
