Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]  
Commitments and Contingencies Commitments and Contingencies
    Legal
    From time to time, we are party to various lawsuits, claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings that we believe would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
    Environmental
    We will generally perform environmental site assessments at properties we are considering acquiring.  After the acquisition of such properties, we continue to monitor the properties for the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. From time to time, we acquire properties with known adverse environmental conditions.  If at the time of acquisition, losses associated with environmental remediation obligations are probable and can be reasonably estimated, we record a liability.
    As of June 30, 2021, we are not aware of any environmental liabilities that would have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, we cannot be sure that we have identified all environmental liabilities at our properties, that all necessary remediation actions have been or will be undertaken at our properties or that we will be indemnified, in full or at all, in the event that such environmental liabilities arise. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that future changes to environmental laws or regulations and their application will not give rise to loss contingencies for future environmental remediation.
    Tenant and Construction Related Commitments
    As of June 30, 2021, we had commitments of approximately $26.2 million for tenant improvement and construction work under the terms of leases with certain of our tenants and contractual agreements with our construction vendors.
    Concentrations of Credit Risk
    We have deposited cash with financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000 per institution.  Although we have deposits at institutions in excess of federally insured limits as of June 30, 2021, we do not believe we are exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the institutions in which those deposits are held.
    Concentration of Properties in Southern California
    As of June 30, 2021, all of our properties are located in the Southern California infill markets. The ability of the tenants to honor the terms of their respective leases is dependent upon the economic, regulatory and social factors affecting the markets in which the tenants operate and other conditions, including the impact of the outbreak of COVID-19 and related state and local government reactions.
In response to COVID-19, most municipalities in Southern California, including many municipalities in which we own properties, have mandated a moratorium on all commercial evictions and have given tenants impacted by COVID-19 the unilateral right to defer rent while the emergency orders are in effect, with repayment generally within six to twelve months after the end of the local emergency. Only a small number of municipalities have allowed their local orders to expire or modified the orders to exclude some tenants (based on the tenant’s number of employees, being a publicly traded company or multinational company, or other characteristics), and in many of the local municipalities in which we operate, the eviction restrictions and rent deferment rights are set to expire by September 30, 2021, while in other municipalities the restrictions expire when the local emergency is lifted. We cannot currently predict whether or not these restrictions may be extended or for how long. Some of the orders have been extended multiple times. A number of our tenants have taken advantage of the relief provided by the local government mandates authorizing deferral of rent, irrespective of such tenants’ actual ability to pay such rent, and we are currently unable to predict the ultimate impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our tenants or the number of tenants that will continue to take advantage of the relief provided by the local government mandates authorizing the deferral of rent. The continued impact of the pandemic on our and our tenants’ businesses is largely dependent on efforts to stem the spread of COVID-19, including governmental efforts to distribute vaccines and overall vaccination rates in the areas in which we own properties. For details related to rent relief provided to tenants since the pandemic, see Note 2 under “—COVID-19 Lease Concessions.”
    Tenant Concentration
    During the six months ended June 30, 2021, no single tenant accounted for more than 5% of our total consolidated rental income.
