Business Combinations [Abstract]  
Acquisitions ACQUISITIONS
On May 2, 2016, the Company completed the Formation Transactions pursuant to the Contribution and Sale Agreement (see Note 1), in which the Company acquired a controlling financial interest in the San Francisco Venture and the Management Company. The acquisitions and the Company’s concurrent investment in the Great Park Venture (see Note 4) transformed the Company into an owner, manager and developer of real estate at three
locations. In accordance with ASC 805, the Company has recorded the acquired assets (including identifiable intangible assets) and liabilities at their respective fair values as of the date of the Contribution and Sale Agreement.
The Company was a party to a cost sharing agreement related to the transactions that were consummated through the Contribution and Sale Agreement in which financial advisory, legal, accounting, tax and other consulting services were shared between the Company, the San Francisco Venture, the Great Park Venture and the Management Company. The Management Company acted as the administrative agent for all the parties. Transaction costs of $1.8 million were incurred directly by the Company or allocated to the Company under the cost sharing agreement during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, and are included in selling, general, and administrative expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The San Francisco Venture
On May 2, 2016, immediately prior to completion of the Formation Transactions, the San Francisco Venture completed a separation transaction (the "Separation Transaction") pursuant to an Amended and Restated Separation and Distribution Agreement ("Separation Agreement") in which the equity interests in a subsidiary of the San Francisco Venture known as CPHP Development, LLC ("CPHP") were distributed directly to the members of the San Francisco Venture: (i) an affiliate of Lennar and (ii) an affiliate of Castlelake, LP ("Castlelake"). The principal terms of the Separation Agreement included the following:
• CPHP was transferred certain acres of land where homes were being built, as well as all responsibility for current and future residential construction on the land;
• Once a final subdivision map is recorded, title to a parking structure parcel at Candlestick Point ("CP Parking Parcel") will be conveyed to CPHP and CPHP will assume the obligation to construct the parking structure and certain other improvements at Candlestick Point;
• CPHP was transferred the membership interest in Candlestick Retail Member, LLC, ("Mall Venture Member"), the entity that has entered into a joint venture ("Mall Venture") with CAM Candlestick LLC (the "Macerich Member") to build a fashion outlet retail shopping center ("Retail Project") above and adjacent to the parking structure that CPHP is to construct on the CP Parking Parcel;
• Once a final subdivision map is recorded, the San Francisco Venture will convey to the Mall Venture the property on which the Retail Project will be built (the "Retail Project Property"); and
• CPHP assumed all of the vertical construction loans and EB-5 loan liabilities of the San Francisco Venture, subject to a reimbursement agreement for the portion of the EB-5 loans that were used to fund development of the portion of The San Francisco Shipyard and Candlestick Point that was not transferred to CPHP.
Concurrent with and pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Contribution and Sale Agreement, the limited liability company agreement of the San Francisco Venture was amended and restated to reflect among other things (1) the conversion of the existing members’ interest into Class A units of the San Francisco Venture that are redeemable, at the holder’s option, subject to certain conditions, for Class A Common Units of the Operating Company, (2) the creation of Class B units of the San Francisco Venture and (3) the appointment of the Operating Company as the manager of the San Francisco Venture. In exchange for 378,578 of its Class A Common Units, the Operating Company acquired 378,578 Class A units of the San Francisco Venture that automatically converted into an equal number of Class B units of the San Francisco Venture. As the holder of all the outstanding Class B units of the San Francisco Venture, the Operating Company owns interests that entitle it to receive 99% of all distributions from the San Francisco Venture after the holders of Class A units of the San Francisco Venture have received distributions equivalent to the distributions, if any, paid on the Class A Common Units of the Operating Company. The Company has a controlling financial interest and consolidates the accounts of the San Francisco Venture and reports noncontrolling interest attributed to the outstanding Class A units of the San Francisco Venture.
The equity issued for the San Francisco Venture consisted of the following (in thousands, except unit and per unit amounts):
Class A Common Units in the Operating Company
378,578

Class A units at the San Francisco Venture exchangeable for Class A Common Units in the Operating Company
37,479,205

838,726


The estimated fair value per Class A Common Unit of the Operating Company was determined using a discounted cash flow method projected for the Operating Company to determine a per unit enterprise value as of the acquisition date. As the Class A units of the San Francisco Venture are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis for Class A Common Units of the Operating Company, it was determined that the unit value of a Class A unit of the San Francisco Venture is substantially equal to the unit value of a Class A Common Unit of the Operating Company. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest represented by the Class A units of the San Francisco Venture held by affiliates of Lennar and Castlelake is calculated as the product of the unit value of the Class A units of the San Francisco Venture and the number of Class A units of the San Francisco Venture outstanding and redeemable for Class A Common Units of the Operating Company.
Contingent consideration consists of the San Francisco Venture’s obligation (through a subsidiary) to convey the Retail Project Property to the Mall Venture and the CP Parking Parcel to CPHP. The Retail Project Property is to be conveyed pursuant to a development and acquisition agreement, dated November 13, 2014, between the Mall Venture and the San Francisco Venture’s subsidiary (the "Mall DAA"). The former owners of the San Francisco Venture retained the rights to 49.9% of the equity ownership in the Mall Venture through the Separation Agreement; therefore, the conveyance of the Retail Project Property to the Mall Venture represents additional consideration to the former owners, contingent upon the San Francisco Venture obtaining the appropriate governmental approvals required to subdivide and convey the Retail Project Property.
In connection with the Separation Transaction, the former owners agreed to make an aggregate capital commitment to the San Francisco Venture of $120 million, payable to the San Francisco Venture in four equal installments, with the first installment paid on May 2, 2016 and the second, third and fourth installments payable within 90, 180 and 270 days thereafter. The second and third installments were paid and received by the San Francisco Venture on August 5, 2016 and November 3, 2016, respectively, and the fourth installment was received on February 2, 2017. The $120 million capital commitment from the selling members was determined to be an adjustment to purchase consideration since the amount is a cash inflow to the Company from the former owners of the San Francisco Venture in relation to the acquisition, thereby reducing the fair value of the consideration.
The estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as the fair value of the noncontrolling interest in the San Francisco Venture as of the acquisition date, is as follows (in thousands):

Inventories consist of land held for development and the right to receive land from the Office of Community Investment and Infrastructure, the Successor to the Redevelopment Agency of the City and County of San Francisco (the "San Francisco Agency") in accordance with a disposition and development agreement between the San Francisco Venture’s subsidiary and the San Francisco Agency.
Accounts payable consists of payables related to normal business operations. Related party liabilities consist of (i) $102.7 million in EB-5 loan reimbursements to CPHP or its subsidiaries, pursuant to reimbursement agreements that the San Francisco Venture entered into as of May 2, 2016 to reimburse CPHP or its subsidiaries for the proceeds of the EB-5 loans that were used to fund development of the portion of The San Francisco Shipyard and Candlestick Point that were not transferred to CPHP; and (ii) $14.6 million closing cash adjustment payable to CPHP (see Note 10). The Macerich Note is a $65.1 million loan from an affiliate of the Macerich Member that will be extinguished upon contribution of land currently held by the San Francisco Venture to the Mall Venture (see Note 11).
Management Company
The Management Company was formed in 2009 as a joint venture between Emile Haddad and an affiliate of Lennar. Since being formed, the Management Company has been engaged by the Company as an independent contractor to supervise the day-to-day affairs of the Company and the assets of its subsidiaries. The Company awarded the Management Company a 2.48% ownership interest in the Company’s subsidiary FPL in connection with its engagement as development manager as well as a seat on the Company’s Board of Managers prior to the Formation Transactions. The Management Company has also acted as development manager for the Great Park Venture, under the terms of the development management agreement. Prior to the Formation Transactions, the Management Company also held an ownership interest in the Great Park Venture through an investment in a joint venture with an affiliate of Castlelake ("FPC-HF Venture I"). In 2014, the Management Company sold the rights to 12.5% of all incentive compensation under the development management agreement to FPC-HF Venture I in exchange for its ownership interest in FPC-HF Venture I. Concurrent with and pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Contribution and Sale Agreement, the Management Company amended and restated its limited partnership agreement. Among other things, the principal organizational changes that occurred were as follows:
• Distribution of the Management Company’s ownership interest in FPC-HF Venture I (see Note 4), to its selling shareholders, Emile Haddad and an affiliate of Lennar;
 
• The partnership interests were converted into two classes of partnership interests, designated as Class A interests and Class B interests. Holders of the Management Company’s Class B interests are entitled to receive distributions from the Management Company equal to the amount of any incentive compensation payments the Management Company receives under the A&R DMA characterized as "Legacy Incentive Compensation." Holders of Class A interests are entitled to all other distributions; and
• Admission of FPC-HF Venture I as a 12.5% holder of the Management Company’s Class B interests in exchange for FPC-HF Venture I’s contribution of its right to 12.5% of the Legacy Incentive Compensation, as defined and discussed in Note 10.
By acquiring all of the stock of Five Point Communities Management, Inc. and all of the Class A interests of Five Point Communities, LP, the Company obtained a controlling financial interest in the Management Company and is able to direct all business decisions of the Management Company.
The equity issued for the Management Company, consisted of the following (in thousands, except unit/share and per unit amounts):
Class A common shares of the Company
798,161

Class A Common Units of the Operating Company

The intangible asset is a contract asset resulting from the incentive compensation provisions of the A&R DMA. The A&R DMA has an original term commencing on December 29, 2010 and ending on December 31, 2021, with options to renew for three additional years and then two additional years. The intangible asset will be amortized over the contract period based on the pattern in which the economic benefits are expected to be received. The investment in FPL, which was stepped up to fair value, will eliminate in consolidation as FPL is a consolidated subsidiary of the Company. Related party liabilities are comprised of the Class B distribution rights held by Emile Haddad, an affiliate of Lennar and FPC-HF Venture I. The Class B interests were determined to not be a substantive form of equity because the interests only entitle the holders to the Legacy Incentive Compensation payments, and does not expose the holders to the net assets or residual interest of Management Company. Class B distributions will be made when the Management Company receives Legacy Incentive Compensation payments under the A&R DMA. As of September 30, 2017, the Management Company had received $58.3 million of the Legacy Incentive Compensation and made distributions in the same amount to the holders of Class B interests. Related party liabilities also includes an obligation to the Operating Company for $14.1 million representing 12.5% of the Non-Legacy Incentive
Compensation under the A&R DMA that the Management Company previously sold to FPC-HF Venture I and that the Operating Company acquired from FPC-HF Venture I in connection with the Contribution and Sale Agreement (see Note 10). This obligation and the Operating Company’s acquired asset are eliminated in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2017.
