Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Subsequent Events As discussed in Note 1, on April 18, 2022, the Company and the Operating Partnership entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Abacus Parent LLC (“Parent”), Abacus Merger Sub I LLC (“Merger Sub I”), and Abacus Merger Sub II LLC (“Merger Sub II”). Parent, Merger Sub I, and Merger Sub II are affiliates of Blackstone Core+ perpetual capital vehicles, primarily comprised of Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. and Blackstone Property Partners. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company will be acquired for Merger Consideration of $65.47 per share in an all-cash transaction. During the term of the Merger Agreement, the Company may not pay dividends except as necessary to preserve its tax status as a REIT, and any such dividends would result in an offsetting decrease to the Merger Consideration.
