Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Organization Organization
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements present the accounts of Essex Property Trust, Inc. (“Essex” or the “Company”), which include the accounts of the Company and Essex Portfolio, L.P. and its subsidiaries (the “Operating Partnership,” which holds the operating assets of the Company). Unless otherwise indicated, the notes to consolidated financial statements apply to both the Company and the Operating Partnership.

Essex is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership with a 96.5% general partner interest and the limited partners owned a 3.5% interest as of December 31, 2024. The limited partners may convert their Operating Partnership units into an equivalent number of shares of Essex common stock. Total Operating Partnership limited partnership units (“OP Units,” and the holders of such OP Units, “Unitholders”) outstanding were 2,331,251 and 2,258,812 as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and the redemption value of the OP Units, based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock, totaled $665.4 million and $560.0 million, as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company has reserved shares of common stock for such conversions.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company owned or had ownership interests in 255 operating apartment communities, comprising 62,157 apartment homes, excluding the Company’s ownership interests in preferred equity co-investments, loan investments, and two operating commercial buildings. The operating apartment communities are located in Southern California (primarily Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, and Ventura counties), Northern California (the San Francisco Bay Area) and the Seattle metropolitan areas.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Summary of Critical and Significant Accounting Policies Summary of Critical and Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The accounts of the Company, its controlled subsidiaries and the variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which it is the primary beneficiary are consolidated in the accompanying financial statements and prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented have been included and are normal and recurring in nature. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

Noncontrolling interest includes the 3.5% and 3.4% limited partner interests in the Operating Partnership not held by the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These percentages include the Operating Partnership’s vested long-term incentive plan units (see Note 14, Equity Based Compensation Plans).

(b) Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07 “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” Among other new disclosure requirements, ASU 2023-07 requires companies to disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 effective January 1, 2024 using retrospective approach. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and financial position.

(c) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03 “Income Statement —Reporting Comprehensive Income —Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses”, and in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01 “Income Statement —Reporting Comprehensive Income —Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date.” ASU 2024-03 requires disaggregated information for specified categories of expenses, including inventory purchases, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion, to be presented in certain expense captions on the face of the income statement. ASU 2024-03, as clarified by ASU 2025-01, is effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2027 and interim periods beginning January 1, 2028. Early adoption is permitted. The new standards may be applied either prospectively, to financial statements issued after the effective date, or retrospectively, to all prior periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated results of operations and financial position.

In August 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-05 “Business Combinations —Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60)” under which an entity that qualifies as a joint venture is required to apply a new basis of accounting upon the formation of the joint venture. The amendments in ASU 2023-05 require that a joint venture must initially measure its assets and liabilities at fair value on the formation date. ASU 2023-05 is effective for all joint ventures that are formed on or after January 1, 2025 and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial position.

(d) Real Estate Rental Properties

Significant expenditures, which improve or extend the life of an asset and have a useful life of greater than one year, are capitalized. Operating real estate assets are stated at cost and consist of land and land improvements, buildings and improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment, and other costs incurred during their development, redevelopment and acquisition. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
The depreciable life of various categories of fixed assets is as follows:
Computer software and equipment
3 - 5 years
Interior apartment home improvements5 years
Furniture, fixtures and equipment
5 - 10 years
Land improvements and certain exterior components of real property10 years
Real estate structures30 years
 
The Company capitalizes all costs incurred with the predevelopment, development or redevelopment of real estate assets or are associated with the construction or expansion of real property. Such capitalized costs include land, land improvements, allocated costs of the Company’s project management staff, construction costs, as well as interest and related loan fees, property taxes and insurance. Capitalization begins for predevelopment, development, and redevelopment projects when activity commences. Capitalization ends when the apartment home is completed and the property is available for a new tenant or if the development activities cease.

The Company allocates the purchase price of real estate on a fair value basis to land and building including personal property, and identifiable intangible assets, such as the value of above, below and in-place leases. In making estimates of relative fair values for purposes of allocating purchase price, the Company utilizes a number of sources, including independent land and building appraisals which consider comparable market transactions, its own analysis of recently acquired or developed comparable properties in our portfolio for land comparables and building replacement costs, and other publicly available market data. In calculating the fair value of identified intangible assets of an acquired property, the in-place leases are valued based on in-place rent rates and amortized over the average remaining term of all acquired leases.

The values of the above and below market leases are amortized and recorded as either a decrease (in the case of above market leases) or an increase (in the case of below market leases) to rental revenue over the remaining term of the associated leases acquired. The value of acquired in-place leases are amortized to expense over the average remaining term of the leases acquired. The net carrying value of acquired in-place leases was $7.7 million and $6.1 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and are included in prepaid expenses and other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

The Company periodically assesses the carrying value of its consolidated real estate investments for indicators of impairment. The judgments regarding the existence of impairment indicators are based on monitoring investment market conditions and performance compared to budget for operating properties including the net operating income for the most recent 12 month period, monitoring estimated costs for properties under development, the Company’s ability to hold and its intent with regard to each asset, and each property’s remaining useful life. Whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a property held for investment may not be recoverable, the carrying amount is evaluated. If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount (including intangible assets) of a property held for investment, then the Company will recognize an impairment loss equal to the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the property. Fair value of a property is determined using conventional real estate valuation methods, such as discounted cash flow, the property’s unleveraged yield in comparison to the unleveraged yields and/or sales prices of similar communities that have been recently sold, and other third party information, if available. Communities held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, no properties were classified as held for sale. The Company did not record an impairment charge on any of its consolidated real estate investments for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.

In the normal course of business, the Company will receive purchase offers for its communities, either solicited or unsolicited. For those offers that are accepted, the prospective buyer will usually require a due diligence period before consummation of the transaction. It is not unusual for matters to arise that result in the withdrawal or rejection of the offer during this process. The Company classifies real estate as “held for sale” when the Company has obtained necessary management approvals to sell a property and the sale of the property is expected to be completed within a year. Evaluating solicited or unsolicited offers generally does not cause properties to be classified as held for sale.

(e) Co-investments

The Company owns investments in joint ventures in which it has significant influence, but its ownership interest does not meet the criteria for consolidation in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Therefore, the Company accounts for co-investments using the
equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the investment is carried at the cost of assets contributed, plus the Company’s equity in earnings, less distributions received and the Company’s share of losses. The significant accounting policies of the Company’s co-investment entities are consistent with those of the Company in all material respects.

Upon the acquisition of a controlling interest of a co-investment, the co-investment entity is consolidated and a gain or loss is recognized upon the remeasurement of co-investments in the consolidated statement of income equal to the amount by which the fair value of the co-investment exceeds the Company’s carrying value of the co-investment. A majority of the co-investments, excluding most preferred equity investments, compensate the Company for its asset management services and some of these investments may provide promote income if certain financial return benchmarks are achieved. Asset management fees are recognized when earned, and promote fees are recognized when the earnings events have occurred and the amount is determinable and collectible. Any promote fees are reflected in equity income from co-investments.

The Company evaluates its investments in co-investments for impairment and records a loss if the carrying value is greater than the fair value of the investment and the impairment is other-than-temporary.

(f) Revenues and Gains on Sale of Real Estate and Land

Revenues from tenants renting or leasing apartment homes are recorded when due from tenants and are recognized monthly as they are earned, which generally approximates a straight-line basis, else, adjustments are made to conform to a straight-line basis. Apartment homes are rented under short-term leases (generally, lease terms of 9 to 12 months). Revenues from tenants leasing commercial space are recorded on a straight-line basis over the life of the respective lease. See Note 4, Revenues, and Note 10, Lease Agreements - Company as Lessor, for additional information regarding such revenues.

The Company also generates other property-related revenue associated with the leasing of apartment homes, including storage income, pet rent, and other miscellaneous revenue. Similar to rental income, such revenues are recorded when due from tenants and recognized monthly as they are earned.

Apart from rental and other property-related revenue, revenues from contracts with customers are recognized as control of the promised services is passed to the customer. For customer contracts related to management and other fees from affiliates (which includes asset management and property management), the transaction price and amount of revenue to be recognized is determined each quarter based on the management fee calculated and earned for that month or quarter. The contract will contain a description of the service and the fee percentage for management services. Payments from such services are one month or one quarter in arrears of the service performed.

The Company recognizes any gains on sales of real estate when it transfers control of a property and when it is probable that the Company will collect substantially all of the related consideration.

(g) Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Highly liquid investments generally with original maturities of three months or less when purchased are classified as cash equivalents. Restricted cash balances relate primarily to reserve requirements for capital replacement at certain communities in connection with the Company’s mortgage debt.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows ($ in thousands):
December 31,
 202420232022
Cash and cash equivalents - unrestricted$66,795 $391,749 $33,295 
Cash and cash equivalents - restricted9,051 8,585 9,386 
Total unrestricted and restricted cash and cash equivalents shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows$75,846 $400,334 $42,681 
(h) Marketable Securities

The Company reports its available for sale equity securities at fair value, based on quoted market prices (Level 1 for the common stock and investment funds and Level 2 for the unsecured debt, as defined by the FASB standard for fair value measurements). As of both December 31, 2024 and 2023, less than $0.1 million of equity securities presented within common stock, preferred stock, and stock funds in the tables below represented investments measured at fair value, using net asset value as a practical expedient, and were not categorized in the fair value hierarchy.

Any realized and unrealized gains and losses in equity securities and interest income are included in interest and other income in the consolidated statements of income. There were no other-than-temporary impairment charges for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022. 

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, equity securities consisted primarily of investment funds-debt securities, common stock, preferred stock and stock funds.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, marketable securities consisted of the following ($ in thousands):

(i) Notes Receivable
 
Notes receivable relate to real estate financing arrangements including mezzanine and bridge loans. Interest is recognized over the life of the note as interest income.
 
Each note is analyzed to determine if it is impaired. A note is impaired if it is probable that the Company will not collect all contractually due principal and interest. The Company does not accrue interest when a note is considered impaired and an allowance is recorded for any principal and previously accrued interest that are not believed to be collectible. All cash receipts on impaired notes are applied to reduce the principal amount of such notes until the principal has been recovered and, thereafter, are recognized as interest income.

In the normal course of business, the Company originates and holds two types of loans: mezzanine loans issued to entities that are pursuing apartment development and short-term bridge loans issued to joint ventures with the Company.

The Company categorizes development project mezzanine loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of the borrowers to service their debt, such as: current financial information, credit documentation, public information, and previous experience with the borrower. The Company initially analyzes each mezzanine loan individually to classify the
credit risk of the loan. On a periodic basis the Company evaluates financial information on the project, its sponsors, and its guarantors and additionally performs site visits of the development projects associated with the mezzanine loans to confirm whether they are on budget and whether there are any delays in development that could impact the Company’s assessment of credit loss.

All bridge loans that the Company issues are, by their nature, short-term and meant only to provide time for the Company’s joint ventures to obtain long-term funding for newly acquired communities. As the Company is a partner in the joint ventures that are borrowing such funds and has performed a detailed review of each community as part of the acquisition process, there is little to no credit risk associated with such loans. As such, the Company does not review credit quality indicators for bridge loans on an ongoing basis.

The Company estimates the allowance for credit losses for each loan type using relevant available information from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable forecasts. Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses.

Adjustments to historical loss information are made, if necessary, for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics. For example, in the case of mezzanine loans, adjustments may be made due to differences in track record and experience of the mezzanine loan sponsor as well as the percent of equity that the sponsor has contributed to the project.

(j) Capitalization Policy

The Company capitalizes all direct and certain indirect costs, including interest, employee compensation costs, real estate taxes and insurance, incurred during development and redevelopment activities. Interest is capitalized on real estate assets that require a period of time to get them ready for their intended use. The amount of interest capitalized is based upon the average amount of accumulated development expenditures during the reporting period. Included in capitalized costs are management’s estimates of the direct and incremental personnel costs and indirect project costs associated with the Company’s development and redevelopment activities. Indirect project costs consist primarily of personnel costs associated with construction administration and development, including accounting, legal fees, and various corporate and community onsite costs that clearly relate to projects under development. Those costs, inclusive of capitalized interest, as well as capitalized development and redevelopment fees totaled $20.2 million, $19.5 million and $20.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company capitalizes leasing costs associated with the lease-up of development communities and amortizes the costs over the life of the leases. The amounts capitalized are immaterial for all periods presented.

(k) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company values its financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy of valuation techniques described in the FASB’s accounting standard for fair value measurements. Level 1 inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs other than quoted prices observable for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The Company uses Level 1 inputs for the fair values of its cash equivalents and its marketable securities. The Company uses Level 2 inputs for its notes receivable, notes payable, and derivative balances. These inputs include interest rates for similar financial instruments. The Company’s valuation methodology for derivatives is described in Note 9, Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Management estimates that the carrying amounts of the outstanding balances under its lines of credit, and notes and other receivables approximate fair value as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, because interest rates, yields, and other terms for these instruments are consistent with interest rates, yields, and other terms currently available for similar instruments. Management has estimated that the fair value of the Company’s fixed rate debt with a carrying value of $5.8 billion and $5.7 billion as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, was approximately $5.5 billion and $5.3 billion, respectively. Management has estimated that the fair value of the Company’s $752.3 million and $520.0 million of variable rate debt as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, was approximately $749.4 million and $519.0 million, respectively, based on the terms of existing mortgage notes payable, unsecured debt, and lines of credit compared to those available in the marketplace. Management estimates that the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities,
construction payables, other liabilities and dividends payable approximate fair value as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. Marketable securities are carried at fair value as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.

(l) Interest Rate Protection, Swap, and Forward Contracts

The Company uses interest rate swaps, interest rate caps, and total return swap contracts to manage interest rate risks. The Company’s objective in using derivatives is to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements or other identified risks. To accomplish this objective, the Company uses interest rate swaps as part of its cash flow hedging strategy. 
 
The Company records all derivatives on its consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges.

For derivatives designated for accounting purposes as fair value hedges, changes in the fair value of the derivative and the hedged item related to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. For derivatives designated for accounting purposes as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is initially reported in other comprehensive income (outside of earnings) and subsequently reclassified to earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings, and the ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized directly in earnings. The Company assesses the initial and ongoing effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in fair value or cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in fair value or cash flows of the designated hedged item or transaction.

For derivatives not designated for accounting purposes as cash flow hedges, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. The Company’s interest rate swap is considered a cash flow hedge.

(m) Income Taxes

Generally in any year in which Essex qualifies as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code (the “IRC”), it is not subject to federal income tax on that portion of its income that it distributes to stockholders. No provision for federal income taxes, other than with respect to the taxable REIT subsidiaries discussed below, has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2024 as Essex has elected to be and believes it qualifies under the IRC as a REIT and has made distributions during the periods in amounts to preclude Essex from paying federal income tax.

In order to maintain compliance with REIT tax rules, the Company utilizes taxable REIT subsidiaries for various revenue generating or investment activities. A domestic taxable REIT subsidiary is subject to federal income tax as a regular C corporation. The taxable REIT subsidiaries are consolidated by the Company for financial reporting purposes. In general, the activities and tax related provisions, assets and liabilities are not material.
As a partnership, the Operating Partnership is not subject to federal or state income taxes, except that in order to maintain Essex’s compliance with REIT tax rules that are applicable to Essex, the Operating Partnership utilizes taxable REIT subsidiaries for various revenue generating or investment activities. The taxable REIT subsidiaries are consolidated by the Operating Partnership for financial reporting purposes.
Cash dividends distributed for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 related to common stock were classified for federal income tax purposes as follows:

(n) Equity-based Compensation

The cost of share- and unit-based compensation awards is measured at the grant date based on the estimated fair value of the awards. The estimated fair value of stock options and restricted stock granted by the Company are being amortized over the vesting period. The estimated grant date fair values of the long-term incentive plan units (discussed in Note 14, Equity Based Compensation Plans) are being amortized over the expected service periods.

(q) Accounting Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to acquiring, developing and assessing the carrying values of its real estate portfolio, its investments in and advances to joint ventures and affiliates, its notes receivable, and its qualification as a REIT. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, current market conditions, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may vary from those estimates and those estimates could be different under different assumptions or conditions.

(r) Variable Interest Entities

In accordance with accounting standards for consolidation of VIEs, the Company consolidated the Operating Partnership, 18 DownREIT entities (comprising nine communities), and five co-investments as of December 31, 2024. The Company consolidated the Operating Partnership, 18 DownREIT entities (comprising nine communities), and six co-investments as of December 31, 2023. The Company consolidated these entities because it was the primary beneficiary. The Company had no assets or liabilities other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. The consolidated total assets and liabilities related to the above consolidated co-investments and DownREIT entities, net of intercompany eliminations, were $893.0 million and $319.1 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2024, and $956.7 million and $324.5 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2023. Noncontrolling interests in these entities were $105.1 million and $121.1 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company’s financial risk in each VIE is limited to its equity investment in the VIE.

The DownREIT VIEs collectively own nine apartment communities in which the Company is the general partner or manager of the DownREIT entity, the Operating Partnership is a special limited partner or member, and the other limited partners or members were granted rights of redemption for their interests. Such limited partners or members can request to be redeemed and the Company, subject to certain restrictions, can elect to redeem their rights for cash or by issuing shares of its common stock on a one share per unit basis. Conversion values will be based on the market value of the Company’s common stock at the time of redemption multiplied by the number of units stipulated under various arrangements, as noted above. The other limited partners or members receive distributions based on the Company’s current dividend rate multiplied by the number of units held. Total DownREIT units outstanding were 914,505 and 936,343 as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and the redemption value of the units, based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock totaled $261.0 million and $232.2 million, as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The carrying value of redeemable noncontrolling interest in the accompanying balance sheets was $30.8 million and $32.2 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Of these amounts, $9.0 million and $12.1 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, represent units of limited partners’ or members’ interests in DownREIT VIEs as to which it is outside of the Company’s control to redeem the DownREIT units with Company common stock and may potentially be redeemed for cash, and are presented at either their redemption value or historical cost, depending on the limited partner’s or members’ right to redeem their units as of the balance sheet date. The carrying value of DownREIT units as to which it is within the control of the Company to redeem the units with its common stock was $96.9 million and $97.0 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and are classified within noncontrolling interests in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
 
Interest holders in VIEs consolidated by the Company are allocated a priority of net income equal to the cash payments made to those interest holders or distributions from cash flow. The remaining results of operations are generally allocated to the Company.
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company was not deemed to be the primary beneficiary of any other VIEs and did not have any VIEs of which it was not deemed to be the primary beneficiary.

(s) Government Assistance

The Employee Retention Credit, as originally enacted by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act in March 2020, is a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes equal to 50% of the qualified wages an eligible employer pays to employees after March 12, 2020 and before January 1, 2021. The purpose of the Employee Retention Credit was to encourage employers to keep employees on their payroll, even if they were not working during the covered period because of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. In December 2020, the Employee Retention Credit was amended and extended by the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act in which eligible employers may claim a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes equal to 70% of the qualified wages an eligible employer pays to employees after December 31, 2020 through June 30, 2021. The Company adopted a policy to recognize a receivable when earned and to offset the credit against related expenses. Accordingly, the Company recorded no Employee Retention Credit for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and $4.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, and is reflected in general and administrative expenses, property operating, excluding real estate taxes, expenses and equity income from co-investments in the consolidated statements of income.

(t) Gain Contingencies

Contingencies, commonly resulting from legal settlements, will periodically arise that may result in a gain. Gain contingencies are typically not recognized in the financial statements until all uncertainties related to the contingency have been resolved. In the case of legal settlements, the Company determines that all uncertainties have been resolved when cash or other consideration has been received by the Company. Gain contingencies resulting from legal settlements of $42.5 million, $7.7 million and $4.2 million were recognized for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 respectively, and are included in interest and other income in the consolidated statements of income.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]  
Related Party Transactions Related Party Transactions
The Company has adopted written related party transaction guidelines that are intended to cover transactions in which the Company (including entities it controls) is a party and in which any “related person” has a direct or indirect interest. A “related person” means any person who is or was (since the beginning of the last fiscal year) a Company director, director nominee, or executive officer, any beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, and any immediate family member of any of the foregoing persons. A related person may be considered to have an indirect interest in a transaction if he or she (i) is an owner, director, officer or employee of or otherwise associated with another company that is engaging in a transaction with the Company, or (ii) otherwise, through one or more entities or arrangements, has an indirect financial interest in or personal benefit from the transaction.

The related person transaction review and approval process is intended to determine, among any other relevant issues, the dollar amount involved in the transaction; the nature and value of any related person’s direct or indirect interest (if any) in the transaction; and whether or not (i) a related person’s interest is material, (ii) the transaction is fair, reasonable, and serves the best interest of the Company and its shareholders, and (iii) whether the transaction or relationship should be entered into, continued or ended.

The Company’s Chairman and founder, Mr. George M. Marcus, is the Chairman of the Marcus & Millichap Company (“MMC”), which is a parent company of a diversified group of real estate service, investment, and development firms. Mr. Marcus is also the Chairman of and owns a controlling interest in Marcus & Millichap, Inc. (“MMI”), a national brokerage firm listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

(1)Variable rate mortgage notes payable, including $220.8 million in bonds that have been converted to variable rate through total return swap contracts, consists of multifamily housing mortgage revenue bonds secured by deeds of trust on rental properties and guaranteed by collateral pledge agreements, payable monthly at a variable rate as defined in the Loan Agreement (approximately 4.2% as of December 2024 and 4.6% as of December 2023) including credit enhancement and underwriting fees. Among the terms imposed on the properties, which are security for the bonds, is a requirement that 20% of the apartment homes are subject to tenant income criteria. Once the bonds have been repaid, the properties may no longer be obligated to comply with such tenant income criteria. Principal balances are due in full at various maturity dates from April 2026 through December 2046. The Company had no interest rate cap agreements as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
(2)In October 2024, the Company assumed $95.0 million of variable rate secured loans as part of its acquisition of its joint venture partner’s interests in the BEX II portfolio. Includes total unamortized discount, net of premiums, of $0.2 million and total unamortized premiums, net of discount, of $0.5 million and reduced by unamortized debt issuance costs of $2.6 million and $3.1 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
For the Company’s mortgage notes payable as of December 31, 2024, monthly interest expense and principal amortization, excluding balloon payments, totaled approximately $3.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Repayment of debt before the scheduled maturity date could result in prepayment penalties. The prepayment penalty on the majority of the Company’s mortgage notes payable are computed by the greater of (a) 1% of the amount of the principal being prepaid or (b) the present value of the principal being prepaid multiplied by the difference between the interest rate of the mortgage note and the stated yield rate on a U.S. treasury security which generally has an equivalent remaining term as the mortgage note.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company uses interest rate swaps, interest rate caps, and total return swap contracts to manage certain interest rate risks. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves. The fair values of interest rate swaps and total return swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements.

In October 2024, the Company acquired its joint venture partner’s interest in the BEX II portfolio and assumed $95.0 million of variable rate mortgage notes payable with one interest rate swap that effectively converts $47.5 million to an all-in fixed rate of 2.83%. This variable rate mortgage notes payable matures in April 2026 with one 12-month extension option, exercisable at the Company’s option and the swap has a termination date of March 2026. This derivative qualifies for hedge accounting.

In September 2022, the Company entered into one forward starting interest rate swap, with settlement payments commencing in May 2023, related to the $300.0 million unsecured term loan entered into in October 2022. In April 2023, the Company drew down the $300.0 million term loan priced at Adjusted SOFR plus 0.85%, which has been swapped to an all-in fixed rate of 4.2%. The term loan matures in October 2025 with two 12-month extension options, each exercisable at the Company’s option and the swap has a termination date of October 2026. This derivative qualifies for hedge accounting. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had an outstanding balance on the unsecured term loan of $300.0 million.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the aggregate carrying value of the interest rate swap contracts was an asset of $5.5 million and $4.3 million, respectively, included in prepaid expenses and other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company has four total return swap contracts, with an aggregate notional amount of $220.8 million that effectively convert mortgage notes payable to a floating interest rate based on the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association Municipal Swap Index (“SIFMA”) plus a spread. The Company can currently settle all four total return swaps with $220.8 million of the outstanding debt at par. These derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting and had a carrying and fair value of zero at both December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company’s total return swaps are scheduled to mature between December 2027 and December 2034. Realized gains of $3.1 million, $3.1 million, and $7.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, were reported in the consolidated statements of income as total return swap income.

Leases [Abstract]  
Lease Agreements - Company as Lessor Lease Agreements - Company as Lessor
As of December 31, 2024, the Company is a lessor of apartment homes at all of its consolidated operating and lease-up communities, two commercial buildings, and commercial portions of mixed use communities. The apartment homes are rented under short-term leases (generally, lease terms of 9 to 12 months) while commercial lease terms typically range from 5 to 20 years. All such leases are classified as operating leases.

Although the majority of the Company’s apartment home and commercial leasing income is derived from fixed lease payments, some lease agreements also allow for variable payments. The primary driver of variable leasing income comes from utility reimbursements from apartment home leases and common area maintenance reimbursements from commercial leases. A small number of commercial leases contain provisions for lease payments based on a percentage of gross retail sales over set hurdles.
At the end of the term of apartment home leases, unless the lessee decides to renew the lease with the Company at the offered rate or gives notice not to renew, the lease will be automatically renewed for a successive, like term up to a maximum of 12 months. Apartment home leases include an option to terminate the lease, however the lessee must pay the Company for expected or actual downtime to find a new tenant to lease the space or a lease-break fee specified in the lease agreement. Most commercial leases include options to renew, with the renewal periods extending the term of the lease for no greater than the same period of time as the original lease term. The initial option to renew for commercial leases will typically be based on a fixed price while any subsequent renewal options will generally be based on the current market rate at the time of the renewal. Certain commercial leases contain lease termination options that would require the lessee to pay termination fees based on the expected amount of time it would take the Company to re-lease the space.

The Company’s apartment home and commercial lease agreements do not contain residual value guarantees. As the Company is the lessor of real estate assets which tend to either hold their value or appreciate, residual value risk is not deemed to be substantial. Furthermore, the Company carries comprehensive liability, fire, extended coverage, and rental loss insurance for each of its communities as well as limited insurance coverage for certain types of extraordinary losses, such as, for example, losses from terrorism or earthquakes.

A maturity analysis of undiscounted future minimum non-cancelable base rent to be received under the above operating leases as of December 31, 2024 is summarized as follows ($ in thousands):

Leases [Abstract]  
Lease Agreements - Company as Lessee Lease Agreements - Company as Lessee
As of December 31, 2024, the Company is a lessee of corporate office space, ground leases and a parking lease associated with various consolidated properties, and equipment. The Company has four office leases with lease expiration dates ranging from 2025 to 2026, and seven ground leases and the parking lease with lease expiration dates ranging from to 2027 to 2083. The corporate office leases occasionally contain renewal options of approximately five years while certain ground leases contain renewal options that can extend the lease term from approximately 10 to 39 years.

A majority of the Company’s ground leases and the parking lease are subject to changes in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”). Furthermore, certain of the Company’s ground leases include rental payments based on a percentage of gross or net income. While lease liabilities are not remeasured as a result of changes in the CPI or percentage of gross or net income, such changes are treated as variable lease payments and recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments was incurred.

The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants.

Operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. Because most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had no material finance leases.

At-the-market Equity Program

In August 2024, the Company entered into a new equity distribution agreement pursuant to which the Company may, at its discretion, offer and sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $900.0 million (the “2024 ATM Program”). The Company may also enter into forward sales agreements of its common stock, set the price, and defer receipt of proceeds until a later date. The 2024 ATM Program replaced the prior equity distribution agreement entered into in September 2021 (the “2021 ATM Program”), which was terminated upon the establishment of the 2024 ATM Program.
For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not sell any shares of its common stock through either agreement. As of December 31, 2024 a total of $900.0 million of shares remain available to be sold.
Operating Partnership Units and Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) Units

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Operating Partnership had outstanding 2,263,756 and 2,161,175 OP Units respectively. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023 the Operating Partnership had 67,495 and 97,637 vested LTIP units respectively. The Operating Partnership’s general partner, Essex, owned 96.5% and 96.6% of the partnership interests in the Operating Partnership as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and Essex is responsible for the management of the Operating Partnership’s business. As the general partner of the Operating Partnership, Essex effectively controls the ability to issue common stock of Essex upon a limited partner’s notice of redemption. Essex has generally acquired OP Units upon a limited partner’s notice of redemption in exchange for shares of its common stock. The redemption provisions of OP Units owned by limited partners that permit Essex to settle in either cash or common stock at the option of Essex were further evaluated in accordance with applicable accounting guidance to determine whether temporary or permanent equity classification on the balance sheet is appropriate. The Operating Partnership evaluated this guidance, including the requirement to settle in unregistered shares, and determined that, with few exceptions, these OP Units meet the requirements to qualify for presentation as permanent equity.

LTIP units represent interests in the Operating Partnership for services rendered or to be rendered by the LTIP unitholder in its capacity as a partner, or in anticipation of becoming a partner, in the Operating Partnership. Upon the occurrence of specified events, LTIP units may over time achieve full parity with common units of the Operating Partnership for all purposes. Upon achieving full parity, LTIP units will be exchanged for an equal number of the OP Units.

The collective redemption value of OP Units and LTIP units owned by the limited partners, not including Essex, was $665.4 million and $560.0 million based on the closing price of Essex’s common stock as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

In September 2024, as part of the acquisition of its joint venture partner’s 50% common equity interest in Century Towers, the Company issued 81,737 OP Units at an agreed upon price of $305 per unit. See Note 3, Real Estate Investments, for additional details.

2018 Plan

In May 2018, stockholders approved the Company’s 2018 Stock Award and Incentive Compensation Plan (“2018 Plan”). The 2018 Plan serves as the successor to the Company’s 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”) with administration authority granted to the Company’s Compensation Committee. The Company’s 2018 Plan provides incentives to attract and retain officers, directors and key employees. The 2018 Plan provides for the grant of stock-based awards to employees, directors and consultants of the Company and its affiliates. The aggregate number of shares of common stock available for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the 2018 Plan is 2,000,000 shares, plus the number of shares authorized for grants and available for issuance under the 2013 Plan as of the effective date of the 2018 Plan and the number of shares subject to outstanding awards under the 2013 Plan that are forfeited or otherwise not issued under such awards. No further awards will be granted under the 2013 Plan and the shares that remained available for future issuance under the 2013 Plan as of the effective date of the 2018 Plan will be available for issuance under the 2018 Plan.

Costs for stock options and restricted stock awards under the fair value method totaled $7.7 million, $12.1 million, and $11.4 million for years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. For each of the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022 costs included $3.5 million related to restricted stock awards for bonuses awarded based on asset dispositions, which is recorded as a cost of real estate and land sold, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense from stock options and restricted stock awards issued to recipients who are direct and incremental to projects under development were capitalized and totaled $0.5 million, $0.6 million, and $0.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The intrinsic value of stock options exercised totaled $4.5 million, zero, and $7.6 million, for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 respectively. The intrinsic value of stock options exercisable totaled $9.5 million and $4.5 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
 
Restricted stock awards

The Company estimates the fair value of restricted stock awards on the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation based upon total shareholder return metrics, the trailing 20-day average stock price, dividend yields and expected volatility rates. Stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock awards having performance-based conditions is recognized over the requisite service period when the conditions become probable of achievement. Service-based conditions include vesting periods of three years or less and are forfeit if required conditions are not met.

Stock option awards

The Company estimates the fair value of stock option grants on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. Stock options are granted with an exercise price not less than 100% of the estimated fair value of the shares on the date of grant and generally have a contractual life of 10 years. Awards subject to service-based conditions include vesting periods of three years or less and are forfeit if required conditions are not met.

Total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options totaled $0.4 million as of December 31, 2024 and the unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized over a period of 0.9 years.
 
The average fair value of stock options granted for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $21.24 and $23.39, respectively. No stock options were granted during the year ended December 31, 2024. Stock options granted in 2023 and 2022 include a $100 cap on the appreciation of the market price over the exercise price.

Long-Term Incentive Plans

2015 Plan

In December 2014, the Operating Partnership issued 2015 Long-Term Incentive Plan award units to executives of the Company. The awards are subject to forfeiture based on performance-based and service-based conditions. The awards that are subject to vesting, vested at 20% per year on each of the first five anniversaries of the initial grant date. The performance conditions measurement ended in December 2015 with unearned awards automatically forfeit. Additional awards were granted subject only to performance-based criteria and were fully vested on the date granted. Awards are convertible one-for-one into OP Units which, in turn, are convertible into common stock of the Company.
The estimated fair value of the awards were determined on the grant date using Monte Carlo simulations under a risk-neutral premise and considered the Company’s stock price on the date of grant, unpaid dividends on unvested awards and a discount factor for ten years of illiquidity.

2014 Plan

In December 2013, the Operating Partnership issued 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan award units to executives of the Company. The awards are subject to forfeiture based on performance-based and service-based conditions. The awards vested at 25% per year on each of the first four anniversaries of the initial grant date. In December 2014, the Company achieved the performance criteria and all of the performance-based awards were earned by the recipients, subject to satisfaction of service-based vesting conditions. Awards are convertible one-for-one into OP Units which, in turn, are convertible into common stock of the Company.

The estimated fair value of the awards were determined on the grant date using Monte Carlo simulations under a risk-neutral premise and considered the Company’s stock price on the date of grant, unpaid dividends on unvested awards and a discount factor for ten years of illiquidity.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Information Segment Information
The Company’s segment disclosures present the measure used by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for purposes of assessing each segment’s performance. The Company’s CODM is a group comprised of its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Administrative Officer, and Chief Investment Officer, who use net operating income (“NOI”) to assess the performance of the business for the Company’s reportable operating segments. NOI represents total property revenues less direct property operating expenses.

The CODM evaluates the Company’s operating performance geographically. The Company defines its reportable operating segments as the three geographical regions in which its communities are located: Southern California, Northern California and Seattle Metro. 

Excluded from segment revenues and NOI are management and other fees from affiliates and interest and other income (loss). Non-segment revenues, property operating expenses, including real estate taxes, and NOI included in the following schedule also consist of revenues generated from retail space, commercial properties, held for sale properties and disposition properties. Other non-segment assets include items such as real estate under development, co-investments, real estate held for sale, cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, notes and other receivables, and prepaid expenses and other assets.
The revenues and NOI for each of the reportable operating segments are summarized as follows for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 ($ in thousands):

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]  
Commitments and Contingencies Commitments and Contingencies
 
The Company’s total minimum lease payment commitments, underground leases, parking leases, and operating leases are disclosed in Note 11, Lease Agreements - Company as Lessee.

To the extent that an environmental matter arises or is identified in the future that has other than a remote risk of having a material impact on the financial statements, the Company will disclose the estimated range of possible outcomes associated with it and, if an outcome is probable, accrue an appropriate liability for that matter. The Company will consider whether any such matter results in an impairment of value on the affected property and, if so, the impairment will be recognized.
 
The Company cannot determine the magnitude of any potential liability to which it may be subject arising out of unknown environmental conditions with respect to the communities currently or formerly owned by the Company. No assurance can be given that: existing environmental assessments conducted with respect to any of these communities have revealed all environmental conditions or potential liabilities associated with such conditions; any prior owner or operator of a property did not create any material environmental condition not known to the Company; or a material unknown environmental condition does not otherwise exist as to any one or more of the communities. The Company has limited insurance coverage for some of the types of environmental conditions and associated liabilities described above.

The Company has entered into transactions that may require the Company to pay the tax liabilities of the partners or members in the Operating Partnership or in the DownREIT entities. These transactions are within the Company’s control. Although the Company intends to hold the contributed assets or defer recognition of gain on their sale pursuant to like-kind exchange rules under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, if the Company were to sell the contributed assets, the tax liabilities incurred may have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.

There continue to be lawsuits against owners and managers of certain of the Company’s apartment communities alleging personal injury and property damage caused by the presence of mold in the residential units and common areas of those communities. Some of these lawsuits have resulted in substantial monetary judgments or settlements in the past. The Company has been sued for mold related matters and has settled some, but not all, of such suits. Insurance carriers have reacted to the increase in mold related liability awards by excluding mold related claims from standard general liability policies and pricing mold endorsements at prohibitively high rates. The Company has, however, purchased pollution liability insurance which includes coverage for some mold claims. The Company has also adopted policies intended to promptly address and resolve reports of mold and to minimize any impact mold might have on tenants of its properties. The Company believes its mold policies and proactive response to address reported mold exposures reduces its risk of loss from mold claims. While no assurances can be given that the Company has identified and responded to all mold occurrences, the Company promptly addresses and responds to all known mold reports. Liabilities resulting from such mold related matters are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. As of December 31, 2024, potential liabilities for mold and other environmental liabilities are not quantifiable and an estimate of possible loss cannot be made.

The Company carries comprehensive liability, fire, extended coverage and rental loss insurance for each of the communities.  There are, however, certain types of extraordinary losses, such as, for example, losses from terrorism or earthquakes, for which the Company has limited insurance coverage. Substantially all of the communities are located in areas that are subject to earthquake activity. The Company has established a wholly-owned insurance subsidiary, Pacific Western Insurance LLC (“PWI”). Through PWI, the Company is self-insured for earthquake related losses. Additionally, PWI provides property and casualty insurance coverage for the first $5.0 million of the Company’s property level insurance claims per incident. As of December 31, 2024, PWI had cash and marketable securities of $98.9 million. These assets were consolidated in the Company’s financial statements. The Company has obtained limited third party seismic insurance on selected assets in the Company’s co-investments.
A number of purported class actions were filed against RealPage, Inc., a seller of revenue management software, and various lessors of multifamily housing which utilize this software, including the Company. The complaints allege collusion among defendants to artificially increase rents of multifamily residential real estate above competitive levels. The Company intends to vigorously defend against these lawsuits. The Company is unable to predict the outcome or estimate the amount of loss, if any, that may result from such matters. The Company is also subject to various other legal and/or regulatory proceedings arising in the normal course of its business operations. The Company believes that, with respect to such matters that it is currently a party to, the ultimate disposition of any such matter will not result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. To the extent that such a matter arises or is identified in the future that has other than a remote risk of having a material impact on the consolidated financial statements, the Company will disclose the estimated range of possible outcomes associated with it, and, if an outcome is probable, accrue an appropriate liability for that matter. The Company will consider whether any such matter results in an impairment of value on the affected property and, if so, impairment will be recognized.

Cybersecurity Risk Management Processes for Assessing, Identifying, and Managing Threats [Text Block]
The Company has developed and implemented a cybersecurity risk management program intended to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of its critical systems and information. The Company’s cybersecurity risk management program is integrated into our overall risk management program, and shares common methodologies, reporting channels and governance processes that apply across the risk management program to other legal, compliance, strategic, operational and financial risk areas.

The Company’s cybersecurity risk management program employs several different measures, including perimeter monitoring, endpoint monitoring and user management, designed to assess and identify cybersecurity risks. The Company’s technology management team is principally responsible for managing the Company’s cybersecurity risk assessment and management processes. The Company’s technology management team performs enterprise-level risk assessments designed to help identify
material cybersecurity risks to our critical systems, information, products, services, and our broader enterprise IT environment. The Company’s technology management team and third-party professionals perform penetration tests, vulnerability scans, and patch management to assess and protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of its critical systems and information. The Company provides training to its employees on cybersecurity matters, performs periodic awareness testing to facilitate compliance with the Company’s cybersecurity policies, and maintains a method for its employees and consultants to communicate any suspected cybersecurity incident. In addition, the Company evaluates key third-party service providers before the Company grants the service provider access to its information systems and has a process in place to ensure that future access is appropriate.

The Company has an established incident response plan for responding to cybersecurity incidents. The goal of the incident response plan is to detect and react to cybersecurity incidents, evaluate the scope and risk, respond appropriately, communicate effectively to all stakeholders, and ultimately reduce the likelihood of an incident recurrence. The Company’s incident response team consists of seasoned information technology, legal and financial reporting Company personnel. The incident response plan, members of the incident response team and the steps to respond to a security incident are evaluated for appropriateness and effectiveness, and key personnel from cross-functional departments are involved.

The Board of Directors considers cybersecurity risk as part of its risk oversight function and has delegated to the Audit Committee oversight of enterprise level risks, including any cybersecurity-related risks faced by the Company. At least quarterly, the Audit Committee reviews cyber risks and mitigation strategies with senior management. The Audit Committee periodically reports to the full Board regarding its activities, including those relating to cybersecurity. Additionally, on an annual basis, the Chief Technology Officer (“CTO”) presents to the Audit Committee on any material updates to the cybersecurity program, such as process improvements, new initiatives and key vendor performance. Material cybersecurity events, if any, are escalated to the Board on an ongoing basis. The Board is also briefed annually on all major enterprise risks, including cybersecurity risks.

The Company’s management team, including the CTO, is responsible for assessing and managing the Company’s material risks from cybersecurity threats. The CTO leads the technology management team and has extensive cybersecurity knowledge and expertise developed through a career of serving in various roles in information technology for over 20 years. The CTO oversees the Company’s initiatives to address existing or evolving cyber risks and is a member of the Enterprise Risk Committee. The CTO reports to the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and provides updates to the Company’s senior leadership team on a regular basis, at least quarterly, about risks from cybersecurity threats, the results of penetration tests, vulnerability scans and userbase issues. The CTO and other members of the Company’s management team takes steps to stay informed about and monitor efforts to prevent, detect, mitigate and remediate cybersecurity risks and incidents through various means, such as briefings from internal security personnel; threat intelligence and other information obtained from governmental, public or private sources, including external consultants engaged; and alerts and reports produced by security tools deployed in our IT environment.
Over the past fiscal year, the Company has not identified risks from known cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any prior cybersecurity incidents, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company, including its operations, business strategy, results of operations or financial condition. See the discussion under the caption, “Risks Related to Our Real Estate Investments and Operations - We are subject to laws and regulations relating to the handling of personal information and we rely on information technology to sustain our operations. Any material failure, inadequacy, interruption or breach of the Company’s privacy or information systems, or those of our vendors or other third parties, could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The accounts of the Company, its controlled subsidiaries and the variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which it is the primary beneficiary are consolidated in the accompanying financial statements and prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented have been included and are normal and recurring in nature. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

Noncontrolling interest includes the 3.5% and 3.4% limited partner interests in the Operating Partnership not held by the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These percentages include the Operating Partnership’s vested long-term incentive plan units (see Note 14, Equity Based Compensation Plans).
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07 “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” Among other new disclosure requirements, ASU 2023-07 requires companies to disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 effective January 1, 2024 using retrospective approach. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and financial position.

(c) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03 “Income Statement —Reporting Comprehensive Income —Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses”, and in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01 “Income Statement —Reporting Comprehensive Income —Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date.” ASU 2024-03 requires disaggregated information for specified categories of expenses, including inventory purchases, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion, to be presented in certain expense captions on the face of the income statement. ASU 2024-03, as clarified by ASU 2025-01, is effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2027 and interim periods beginning January 1, 2028. Early adoption is permitted. The new standards may be applied either prospectively, to financial statements issued after the effective date, or retrospectively, to all prior periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated results of operations and financial position.

In August 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-05 “Business Combinations —Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60)” under which an entity that qualifies as a joint venture is required to apply a new basis of accounting upon the formation of the joint venture. The amendments in ASU 2023-05 require that a joint venture must initially measure its assets and liabilities at fair value on the formation date. ASU 2023-05 is effective for all joint ventures that are formed on or after January 1, 2025 and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial position.
Real Estate Rental Properties Real Estate Rental Properties
Significant expenditures, which improve or extend the life of an asset and have a useful life of greater than one year, are capitalized. Operating real estate assets are stated at cost and consist of land and land improvements, buildings and improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment, and other costs incurred during their development, redevelopment and acquisition. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
The depreciable life of various categories of fixed assets is as follows:
Computer software and equipment
3 - 5 years
Interior apartment home improvements5 years
Furniture, fixtures and equipment
5 - 10 years
Land improvements and certain exterior components of real property10 years
Real estate structures30 years
 
The Company capitalizes all costs incurred with the predevelopment, development or redevelopment of real estate assets or are associated with the construction or expansion of real property. Such capitalized costs include land, land improvements, allocated costs of the Company’s project management staff, construction costs, as well as interest and related loan fees, property taxes and insurance. Capitalization begins for predevelopment, development, and redevelopment projects when activity commences. Capitalization ends when the apartment home is completed and the property is available for a new tenant or if the development activities cease.

The Company allocates the purchase price of real estate on a fair value basis to land and building including personal property, and identifiable intangible assets, such as the value of above, below and in-place leases. In making estimates of relative fair values for purposes of allocating purchase price, the Company utilizes a number of sources, including independent land and building appraisals which consider comparable market transactions, its own analysis of recently acquired or developed comparable properties in our portfolio for land comparables and building replacement costs, and other publicly available market data. In calculating the fair value of identified intangible assets of an acquired property, the in-place leases are valued based on in-place rent rates and amortized over the average remaining term of all acquired leases.

The values of the above and below market leases are amortized and recorded as either a decrease (in the case of above market leases) or an increase (in the case of below market leases) to rental revenue over the remaining term of the associated leases acquired. The value of acquired in-place leases are amortized to expense over the average remaining term of the leases acquired. The net carrying value of acquired in-place leases was $7.7 million and $6.1 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and are included in prepaid expenses and other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

The Company periodically assesses the carrying value of its consolidated real estate investments for indicators of impairment. The judgments regarding the existence of impairment indicators are based on monitoring investment market conditions and performance compared to budget for operating properties including the net operating income for the most recent 12 month period, monitoring estimated costs for properties under development, the Company’s ability to hold and its intent with regard to each asset, and each property’s remaining useful life. Whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a property held for investment may not be recoverable, the carrying amount is evaluated. If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount (including intangible assets) of a property held for investment, then the Company will recognize an impairment loss equal to the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the property. Fair value of a property is determined using conventional real estate valuation methods, such as discounted cash flow, the property’s unleveraged yield in comparison to the unleveraged yields and/or sales prices of similar communities that have been recently sold, and other third party information, if available. Communities held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, no properties were classified as held for sale. The Company did not record an impairment charge on any of its consolidated real estate investments for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.

In the normal course of business, the Company will receive purchase offers for its communities, either solicited or unsolicited. For those offers that are accepted, the prospective buyer will usually require a due diligence period before consummation of the transaction. It is not unusual for matters to arise that result in the withdrawal or rejection of the offer during this process. The Company classifies real estate as “held for sale” when the Company has obtained necessary management approvals to sell a property and the sale of the property is expected to be completed within a year. Evaluating solicited or unsolicited offers generally does not cause properties to be classified as held for sale.
Co-investments Co-investments
The Company owns investments in joint ventures in which it has significant influence, but its ownership interest does not meet the criteria for consolidation in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Therefore, the Company accounts for co-investments using the
equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the investment is carried at the cost of assets contributed, plus the Company’s equity in earnings, less distributions received and the Company’s share of losses. The significant accounting policies of the Company’s co-investment entities are consistent with those of the Company in all material respects.

Upon the acquisition of a controlling interest of a co-investment, the co-investment entity is consolidated and a gain or loss is recognized upon the remeasurement of co-investments in the consolidated statement of income equal to the amount by which the fair value of the co-investment exceeds the Company’s carrying value of the co-investment. A majority of the co-investments, excluding most preferred equity investments, compensate the Company for its asset management services and some of these investments may provide promote income if certain financial return benchmarks are achieved. Asset management fees are recognized when earned, and promote fees are recognized when the earnings events have occurred and the amount is determinable and collectible. Any promote fees are reflected in equity income from co-investments.
The Company evaluates its investments in co-investments for impairment and records a loss if the carrying value is greater than the fair value of the investment and the impairment is other-than-temporary.
Revenues and Gains on Sale of Real Estate and Land Revenues and Gains on Sale of Real Estate and Land
Revenues from tenants renting or leasing apartment homes are recorded when due from tenants and are recognized monthly as they are earned, which generally approximates a straight-line basis, else, adjustments are made to conform to a straight-line basis. Apartment homes are rented under short-term leases (generally, lease terms of 9 to 12 months). Revenues from tenants leasing commercial space are recorded on a straight-line basis over the life of the respective lease. See Note 4, Revenues, and Note 10, Lease Agreements - Company as Lessor, for additional information regarding such revenues.

The Company also generates other property-related revenue associated with the leasing of apartment homes, including storage income, pet rent, and other miscellaneous revenue. Similar to rental income, such revenues are recorded when due from tenants and recognized monthly as they are earned.

Apart from rental and other property-related revenue, revenues from contracts with customers are recognized as control of the promised services is passed to the customer. For customer contracts related to management and other fees from affiliates (which includes asset management and property management), the transaction price and amount of revenue to be recognized is determined each quarter based on the management fee calculated and earned for that month or quarter. The contract will contain a description of the service and the fee percentage for management services. Payments from such services are one month or one quarter in arrears of the service performed.

The Company recognizes any gains on sales of real estate when it transfers control of a property and when it is probable that the Company will collect substantially all of the related consideration.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Highly liquid investments generally with original maturities of three months or less when purchased are classified as cash equivalents. Restricted cash balances relate primarily to reserve requirements for capital replacement at certain communities in connection with the Company’s mortgage debt.
Marketable Securities Marketable Securities
The Company reports its available for sale equity securities at fair value, based on quoted market prices (Level 1 for the common stock and investment funds and Level 2 for the unsecured debt, as defined by the FASB standard for fair value measurements). As of both December 31, 2024 and 2023, less than $0.1 million of equity securities presented within common stock, preferred stock, and stock funds in the tables below represented investments measured at fair value, using net asset value as a practical expedient, and were not categorized in the fair value hierarchy.

Any realized and unrealized gains and losses in equity securities and interest income are included in interest and other income in the consolidated statements of income. There were no other-than-temporary impairment charges for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022. 
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, equity securities consisted primarily of investment funds-debt securities, common stock, preferred stock and stock funds.
Notes Receivable Notes Receivable
 
Notes receivable relate to real estate financing arrangements including mezzanine and bridge loans. Interest is recognized over the life of the note as interest income.
 
Each note is analyzed to determine if it is impaired. A note is impaired if it is probable that the Company will not collect all contractually due principal and interest. The Company does not accrue interest when a note is considered impaired and an allowance is recorded for any principal and previously accrued interest that are not believed to be collectible. All cash receipts on impaired notes are applied to reduce the principal amount of such notes until the principal has been recovered and, thereafter, are recognized as interest income.

In the normal course of business, the Company originates and holds two types of loans: mezzanine loans issued to entities that are pursuing apartment development and short-term bridge loans issued to joint ventures with the Company.

The Company categorizes development project mezzanine loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of the borrowers to service their debt, such as: current financial information, credit documentation, public information, and previous experience with the borrower. The Company initially analyzes each mezzanine loan individually to classify the
credit risk of the loan. On a periodic basis the Company evaluates financial information on the project, its sponsors, and its guarantors and additionally performs site visits of the development projects associated with the mezzanine loans to confirm whether they are on budget and whether there are any delays in development that could impact the Company’s assessment of credit loss.

All bridge loans that the Company issues are, by their nature, short-term and meant only to provide time for the Company’s joint ventures to obtain long-term funding for newly acquired communities. As the Company is a partner in the joint ventures that are borrowing such funds and has performed a detailed review of each community as part of the acquisition process, there is little to no credit risk associated with such loans. As such, the Company does not review credit quality indicators for bridge loans on an ongoing basis.

The Company estimates the allowance for credit losses for each loan type using relevant available information from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable forecasts. Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses.
Adjustments to historical loss information are made, if necessary, for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics. For example, in the case of mezzanine loans, adjustments may be made due to differences in track record and experience of the mezzanine loan sponsor as well as the percent of equity that the sponsor has contributed to the project.
Capitalization Policy Capitalization Policy
The Company capitalizes all direct and certain indirect costs, including interest, employee compensation costs, real estate taxes and insurance, incurred during development and redevelopment activities. Interest is capitalized on real estate assets that require a period of time to get them ready for their intended use. The amount of interest capitalized is based upon the average amount of accumulated development expenditures during the reporting period. Included in capitalized costs are management’s estimates of the direct and incremental personnel costs and indirect project costs associated with the Company’s development and redevelopment activities. Indirect project costs consist primarily of personnel costs associated with construction administration and development, including accounting, legal fees, and various corporate and community onsite costs that clearly relate to projects under development. Those costs, inclusive of capitalized interest, as well as capitalized development and redevelopment fees totaled $20.2 million, $19.5 million and $20.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company capitalizes leasing costs associated with the lease-up of development communities and amortizes the costs over the life of the leases. The amounts capitalized are immaterial for all periods presented.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company values its financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy of valuation techniques described in the FASB’s accounting standard for fair value measurements. Level 1 inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs other than quoted prices observable for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The Company uses Level 1 inputs for the fair values of its cash equivalents and its marketable securities. The Company uses Level 2 inputs for its notes receivable, notes payable, and derivative balances. These inputs include interest rates for similar financial instruments. The Company’s valuation methodology for derivatives is described in Note 9, Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Management estimates that the carrying amounts of the outstanding balances under its lines of credit, and notes and other receivables approximate fair value as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, because interest rates, yields, and other terms for these instruments are consistent with interest rates, yields, and other terms currently available for similar instruments. Management has estimated that the fair value of the Company’s fixed rate debt with a carrying value of $5.8 billion and $5.7 billion as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, was approximately $5.5 billion and $5.3 billion, respectively. Management has estimated that the fair value of the Company’s $752.3 million and $520.0 million of variable rate debt as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, was approximately $749.4 million and $519.0 million, respectively, based on the terms of existing mortgage notes payable, unsecured debt, and lines of credit compared to those available in the marketplace. Management estimates that the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities,
construction payables, other liabilities and dividends payable approximate fair value as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. Marketable securities are carried at fair value as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Interest Rate Protection, Swap, and Forward Contracts Interest Rate Protection, Swap, and Forward Contracts
The Company uses interest rate swaps, interest rate caps, and total return swap contracts to manage interest rate risks. The Company’s objective in using derivatives is to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements or other identified risks. To accomplish this objective, the Company uses interest rate swaps as part of its cash flow hedging strategy. 
 
The Company records all derivatives on its consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges.

For derivatives designated for accounting purposes as fair value hedges, changes in the fair value of the derivative and the hedged item related to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. For derivatives designated for accounting purposes as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is initially reported in other comprehensive income (outside of earnings) and subsequently reclassified to earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings, and the ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized directly in earnings. The Company assesses the initial and ongoing effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in fair value or cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in fair value or cash flows of the designated hedged item or transaction.

For derivatives not designated for accounting purposes as cash flow hedges, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. The Company’s interest rate swap is considered a cash flow hedge.
Income Taxes Income Taxes
Generally in any year in which Essex qualifies as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code (the “IRC”), it is not subject to federal income tax on that portion of its income that it distributes to stockholders. No provision for federal income taxes, other than with respect to the taxable REIT subsidiaries discussed below, has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2024 as Essex has elected to be and believes it qualifies under the IRC as a REIT and has made distributions during the periods in amounts to preclude Essex from paying federal income tax.

In order to maintain compliance with REIT tax rules, the Company utilizes taxable REIT subsidiaries for various revenue generating or investment activities. A domestic taxable REIT subsidiary is subject to federal income tax as a regular C corporation. The taxable REIT subsidiaries are consolidated by the Company for financial reporting purposes. In general, the activities and tax related provisions, assets and liabilities are not material.
As a partnership, the Operating Partnership is not subject to federal or state income taxes, except that in order to maintain Essex’s compliance with REIT tax rules that are applicable to Essex, the Operating Partnership utilizes taxable REIT subsidiaries for various revenue generating or investment activities. The taxable REIT subsidiaries are consolidated by the Operating Partnership for financial reporting purposes.
Equity-based Compensation Equity-based Compensation
The cost of share- and unit-based compensation awards is measured at the grant date based on the estimated fair value of the awards. The estimated fair value of stock options and restricted stock granted by the Company are being amortized over the vesting period. The estimated grant date fair values of the long-term incentive plan units (discussed in Note 14, Equity Based Compensation Plans) are being amortized over the expected service periods.
Changes in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, by Component
Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss in connection with derivatives are recorded in interest expense in the consolidated statements of income.
Accounting Estimates Accounting Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to acquiring, developing and assessing the carrying values of its real estate portfolio, its investments in and advances to joint ventures and affiliates, its notes receivable, and its qualification as a REIT. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, current market conditions, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may vary from those estimates and those estimates could be different under different assumptions or conditions.
Variable Interest Entities Variable Interest Entities
In accordance with accounting standards for consolidation of VIEs, the Company consolidated the Operating Partnership, 18 DownREIT entities (comprising nine communities), and five co-investments as of December 31, 2024. The Company consolidated the Operating Partnership, 18 DownREIT entities (comprising nine communities), and six co-investments as of December 31, 2023. The Company consolidated these entities because it was the primary beneficiary. The Company had no assets or liabilities other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. The consolidated total assets and liabilities related to the above consolidated co-investments and DownREIT entities, net of intercompany eliminations, were $893.0 million and $319.1 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2024, and $956.7 million and $324.5 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2023. Noncontrolling interests in these entities were $105.1 million and $121.1 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company’s financial risk in each VIE is limited to its equity investment in the VIE.

The DownREIT VIEs collectively own nine apartment communities in which the Company is the general partner or manager of the DownREIT entity, the Operating Partnership is a special limited partner or member, and the other limited partners or members were granted rights of redemption for their interests. Such limited partners or members can request to be redeemed and the Company, subject to certain restrictions, can elect to redeem their rights for cash or by issuing shares of its common stock on a one share per unit basis. Conversion values will be based on the market value of the Company’s common stock at the time of redemption multiplied by the number of units stipulated under various arrangements, as noted above. The other limited partners or members receive distributions based on the Company’s current dividend rate multiplied by the number of units held. Total DownREIT units outstanding were 914,505 and 936,343 as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and the redemption value of the units, based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock totaled $261.0 million and $232.2 million, as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The carrying value of redeemable noncontrolling interest in the accompanying balance sheets was $30.8 million and $32.2 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Of these amounts, $9.0 million and $12.1 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, represent units of limited partners’ or members’ interests in DownREIT VIEs as to which it is outside of the Company’s control to redeem the DownREIT units with Company common stock and may potentially be redeemed for cash, and are presented at either their redemption value or historical cost, depending on the limited partner’s or members’ right to redeem their units as of the balance sheet date. The carrying value of DownREIT units as to which it is within the control of the Company to redeem the units with its common stock was $96.9 million and $97.0 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and are classified within noncontrolling interests in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
 
Interest holders in VIEs consolidated by the Company are allocated a priority of net income equal to the cash payments made to those interest holders or distributions from cash flow. The remaining results of operations are generally allocated to the Company.
Gain Contingencies Gain Contingencies Contingencies, commonly resulting from legal settlements, will periodically arise that may result in a gain. Gain contingencies are typically not recognized in the financial statements until all uncertainties related to the contingency have been resolved. In the case of legal settlements, the Company determines that all uncertainties have been resolved when cash or other consideration has been received by the Company.
