Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Basis of Presentation. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company's management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures required for annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or excluded pursuant to rules and regulations of the SEC. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature that are considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of our operations, and cash flows as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. However, the results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2021. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2021 due to real estate market flections, available mortgage lending rates and other factors, such as the effects of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and its possible influence on our future results.

 

Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Principles of Consolidation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Presidio Property Trust and its subsidiaries, NetREIT Advisors, LLC and Dubose Advisors LLC (collectively, the “Advisors”), and NetREIT Dubose Model Home REIT, Inc. The consolidated financial statements also include the results of the NetREIT Partnerships and the Model Home Partnerships.  As used herein, references to the “Company” include references to Presidio Property Trust, its subsidiaries, and the partnerships. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The Company classifies the noncontrolling interests in the NetREIT Partnerships as part of consolidated net income (loss) in 2021 and 2020 and has included the accumulated amount of noncontrolling interests as part of equity since inception in February 2010. If a change in ownership of a consolidated subsidiary results in loss of control and deconsolidation, any retained ownership interest will be remeasured, with the gain or loss reported in the statement of operations. Management has evaluated the noncontrolling interests and determined that they do not contain any redemption features.

 

Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates include the allocation of purchase price paid for property acquisitions between land, building and intangible assets acquired including their useful lives; valuation of long-lived assets, and the allowance for doubtful accounts, which is based on an evaluation of the tenants’ ability to pay. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

 

Real Estate, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Real Estate Assets and Lease Intangibles. Land, buildings and improvements are recorded at cost, including tenant improvements and lease acquisition costs (including leasing commissions, space planning fees, and legal fees). The Company capitalizes any expenditure that replaces, improves, or otherwise extends the economic life of an asset, while ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. The Company allocates the purchase price of acquired properties between the acquired tangible assets and liabilities (consisting of land, building, tenant improvements, and long-term debt) and identified intangible assets and liabilities (including the value of above-market and below-market leases, the value of in-place leases, unamortized lease origination costs and tenant relationships), in each case based on their respective fair values.

 

The Company allocates the purchase price to tangible assets of an acquired property based on the estimated fair values of those tangible assets assuming the property was vacant. Estimates of fair value for land, building and building improvements are based on many factors including, but not limited to, comparisons to other properties sold in the same geographic area and independent third-party valuations. In estimating the fair values of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired, the Company also considers information obtained about each property as a result of its pre‑acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities.

 

The value allocated to acquired lease intangibles is based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease. Characteristics considered by management in allocating these values include the nature and extent of the existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the remaining term of the lease and the tenant’s credit quality, among other factors.

 

The value allocable to the above-market or below-market component of an acquired in-place lease is determined based upon the present value (using a market discount rate) of the difference between (i) the contractual rents to be paid pursuant to the lease over its remaining term, and (ii) management’s estimate of rents that would be paid using fair market rates over the remaining term of the lease. The amounts allocated to above or below-market leases are amortized on a straight-line basis as an increase or reduction of rental income over the remaining non-cancelable term of the respective leases. Amortization of above and below-market rents resulted in a net decrease in rental income of approximately $3,000 and $2,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.  Amortization of above and below-market rents resulted in a net increase in rental income of approximately $28,000 and $58,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.  

 

The value of in-place leases and unamortized lease origination costs are amortized to expenses over the remaining term of the respective leases, which range from less than a year to ten years. The amount allocated to acquired in-place leases is determined based on management’s assessment of lost revenue and costs incurred for the period required to lease the “assumed vacant” property to the occupancy level when purchased. The amount allocated to unamortized lease origination costs is determined by what the Company would have paid to a third-party to secure a new tenant reduced by the expired term of the respective lease. The amount allocated to tenant relationships is the benefit resulting from the likelihood of a tenant renewing its lease. Amortization expense related to these assets was approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.  Amortization expense related to these assets was approximately $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three and six months ended  June 30, 2020, respectively.

 

Deferred Leasing Costs [Policy Text Block]

Deferred Leasing Costs. Costs incurred in connection with successful property leases are capitalized as deferred leasing costs and amortized to leasing commission expense on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases which generally range from one to five years. Deferred leasing costs consist of third-party leasing commissions. Management re-evaluates the remaining useful lives of leasing costs as the creditworthiness of the tenants and economic and market conditions change. If management determines the estimated remaining life of the respective lease has changed, the amortization period is adjusted. At June 30, 2021 and  December 31, 2020, the Company had net deferred leasing costs of approximately $1.2 million and $1.9 million, respectively. Total amortization expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was approximately $87,000 and $173,000, respectively  Total amortization expense for the three and six months ended  June 30, 2020, was approximately $101,000 and $200,000, respectively.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had approximately $29.3 million and $11.5 million in cash equivalents and restricted cash, respectively, of which approximately $4.1 million and $4.2 million represented restricted cash, respectively. Our cash equivalents and restricted cash consist of invested cash and cash in our operating accounts and are held in bank accounts at third party institutions. Restricted cash typically consists of funds held by lenders to be used for property taxes, insurance, capital expenditures and leasing commissions.  As of June 30, 2021, restricted cash included approximately $0.9 million in cash held in escrow that relates to a delayed like-kind exchange transaction pursued under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code 1986, as amended (the "Internal Revenue Code").

 

Real Estate Held for Development and Sale, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Real Estate Held for Sale. Real estate held for sale during the current period is classified as “real estate held for sale” for all prior periods presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Mortgage notes payable related to the real estate held for sale during the current period are classified as “mortgage notes payable related to real estate held for sale, net” for all prior periods presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2021, one commercial property met the criteria to be classified as held for sale (World Plaza) and two model homes were classified as held for sale.

 

Deferred Charges, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Deferred Offering Costs. Deferred offering costs represent legal, accounting and other direct costs related to our public offerings. Total deferred offering costs, as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, were approximately $0.1 million, at the end of each period.  These costs include direct costs related to the preparation of a registration statement on Form S-3 filed on December 29, 2020, and amended on April 13, 2021. These costs were deferred and were included in Other Assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.  Offering costs/deferred offering costs/underwriters' discount in connections to the issuance of the Preferred Stock Series D were charged against shareholders' equity within Additional paid-in-capital. Offering costs typically include legal, accounting, and other fees associated with the cost of raising equity capital.  As of June 30, 2021 offering costs related to the Series D Preferred Stock, netted against offering proceeds, totaled approximately $2.5 million.

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Impairments of Real Estate Assets. We regularly review for impairment on a property-by-property basis. Impairment is recognized on a property held for use when the expected undiscounted cash flows for a property are less than its carrying amount at which time the property is written-down to fair value. The calculation of both discounted and undiscounted cash flows requires management to make estimates of future cash flows including revenues, operating expenses, required maintenance and development expenditures, market conditions, demand for space by tenants and rental rates over long periods. Since our properties typically have a long life, the assumptions used to estimate the future recoverability of carrying value requires significant management judgment. Actual results could be significantly different from the estimates. These estimates have a direct impact on net income because recording an impairment charge results in a negative adjustment to net income. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is highly subjective and is based in part on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results in future periods.

 

Properties held for sale are recorded at the lower of the carrying amount or the expected sales price less costs to sell. Although our strategy is to hold our properties over the long-term, if our strategy changes or market conditions otherwise dictate an earlier sale date, an impairment loss may be recognized to reduce the property to fair value and such loss could be material.

 

During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company recorded its Highland Court property (“Highland Court”) as held for sale and subsequently entered into a purchase and sale agreement (“PSA”) with an unrelated third party.  Highland Court had a book value of approximately $10.5 million prior to entering into the PSA. The final selling price as agreed upon in the PSA was approximately $10.2 million. As such, the Company recorded a $0.3 million non-cash impairment in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations at  March 31, 2021.  The sale was completed in May 2021.

 

Fair Value Measurement, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Fair Value Measurements.  Under GAAP, we are required to measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. In addition, we are required to measure other non-financial and financial assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis (e.g., carrying value of impaired real estate loans receivable and long-lived assets). Fair value is defined as 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 GAAP fair value framework uses a three-tiered approach. Fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

 

 

Level 1: unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities;

 

 

Level 2: quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and

 

 

Level 3: prices or valuation techniques where little or no market data is available that requires inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

 

When available, we utilize quoted market prices from independent third-party sources to determine fair value and classify such items in Level 1 or Level 2. In instances where the market for a financial instrument is not active, regardless of the availability of a nonbinding quoted market price, observable inputs might not be relevant and could require us to make a significant adjustment to derive a fair value measurement. Additionally, in an inactive market, a market price quoted from an independent third party may rely more on models with inputs based on information available only to that independent third party. When we determine the market for a financial instrument owned by us to be illiquid or when market transactions for similar instruments do not appear orderly, we use several valuation sources (including internal valuations, discounted cash flow analysis and quoted market prices) and establish a fair value by assigning weights to the various valuation sources. Additionally, when determining the fair value of a liability in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability is not available, we measure fair value using (i) a valuation technique that uses the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or quoted prices for similar liabilities when traded as assets or (ii) another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of fair value measurement, such as the income approach or the market approach.

 

Changes in assumptions or estimation methodologies can have a material effect on these estimated fair values. In this regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.

Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Earnings per share (EPS). The EPS on Common stock has been computed pursuant to the guidance in FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share.  The guidance requires the classification of the Company’s unvested restricted stock, which contain rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends, as participating securities requiring the two-class method of computing net income per share of common stock.  In accordance with the two-class method, earnings per share has been computed by dividing the net income less net income attributable to unvested restricted shares by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding less unvested restricted shares. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average shares of common stock and potentially dilutive securities outstanding in accordance with the treasury stock method.

 

As of June 30, 2021, there were 385,274 shares of restricted unvested common stock grants to employees that were anti-dilutive for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share.  As of June 30, 2020, there were 212,783 shares of restricted unvested common stock grants to employees that were anti-dilutive for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share. 

 

Subsequent Events, Policy [Policy Text Block] Subsequent Events. We evaluate subsequent events up until the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements.  In June 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, amendedin February 2020 with ASU No. 2020-02, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326) and Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-13 introduces a new model for estimating credit losses for certain types of financial instruments, including loans receivable, held-to-maturity debt securities, and net investments in direct financing leases, amongst other financial instruments. ASU 2016-13 also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and expands the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating the allowance for losses. While ASU 2016-13 was effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2019, the issuance of ASU 2020-02 has allowed for the delay in adoption for certain smaller public companies, and is now effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2022. Retrospective adjustments shall be applied through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of this guidance on its financial statements, and does not believe it will have a material impact on the financial statements.
