Leases [Abstract]  
Leases Leases
The Company's leases consist of operating leases for general office space, laboratory, manufacturing and warehouse facilities, and equipment. These noncancellable operating leases have initial lease terms from two years to twelve years, eight months. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are expensed as incurred and are not recorded as right-of-use assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company is required to recognize operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities, and begin recording lease expense when the Company takes possession of the leased property (the Commencement Date). The Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Because the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease Commencement Date to determine the operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities based on the present value of future lease payments over the lease term. The Company used the incremental borrowing rate on January 1, 2019 for operating leases that commenced prior to that date.
Certain leases include an option to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term for additional periods. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company’s sole discretion. For renewal options that are reasonably certain at the lease Commencement Date of being exercised, the Company includes the renewal option period in the lease term. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option that is reasonably certain to be exercised.
In November 2019, the Company entered into a lease agreement for approximately 94,562 square feet of additional general office space located on Shoreline Drive, in Boise, Idaho (Shoreline Lease). The lease term began in July 2020, and expires in June 2027. The Company has a one-time option to extend the term of the Shoreline Lease for a period of three years. The Company recognized right-of-use leased assets and corresponding operating lease liabilities of approximately $6.5 million on the consolidated balance sheet on the Commencement Date in the first quarter of 2020.
In January 2020, the Company entered into a sublease agreement for approximately 30,703 square feet of general office space located on High Bluff Drive, in San Diego, California (High Bluff Sublease). The lease term began in April 2020 and expires in March 2022. The Company recognized right-of-use leased assets and corresponding operating lease liabilities of approximately $2.3 million on the consolidated balance sheet on the Commencement Date in the first quarter of 2020.

In September 2020, the Company amended certain leases covering four separate buildings that comprise in aggregate 77,458 square feet of general office and laboratory space located on Roselle Street in San Diego, California (Roselle Street Leases). The lease amendments extended the term of each lease for an additional period of one year, and included a rent increase during the additional lease term. The Roselle Street Leases, which would have expired in May 2022, are now scheduled to expire in May 2023. The Company recognized additional right-of-use leased assets and corresponding operating lease liabilities of $2.2 million on the consolidated balance sheet in the third quarter of 2020 related to the amendment of the Roselle Street Leases.
In March 2021, the Company entered into a second amendment (Second Amendment) to its lease agreement for office space located on Vista Sorrento Parkway in San Diego, California (Vista Sorrento Lease) covering 59,013 square feet of general administrative office space (Existing Premises). The Second Amendment expanded the Existing Premises by adding 14,916 square feet of general administrative office space (Expansion Space), and extended the lease term for the Existing Premises through January 2028. The Expansion Space lease Commencement Date occurred in March 2021, and the lease term expires in January 2028. The Company has two options to extend the term of the Vista Sorrento Lease, covering both the Existing Premises and the Expansion Space, with each option providing for an additional period of five years. The Vista Sorrento Lease term was determined assuming the renewal options would not be exercised. The Company recognized right-of-use leased assets and corresponding operating lease liabilities of $15.1 million on the consolidated balance sheet in the first quarter of 2021 related to the Second Amendment.

Accordingly, the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2021 does not include operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities, and the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 does not include any lease costs, related to the High Bluff Lease and the Tech Center Lease. In addition, the above disclosures of the Company’s lease costs, maturities of operating lease liabilities, and the weighted-average remaining lease term and weighted-average discount rate, do not include any amounts related to the High Bluff and Tech Center Leases.
High Bluff Lease
In May 2021, the Company entered into a lease agreement for approximately 31,372 square feet of general office space located on High Bluff Drive, in San Diego, California (High Bluff Lease). The High Bluff Lease is a direct lease agreement for the same property subject to the High Bluff Sublease. The lease term begins in April 2022 following the termination of the High Bluff Sublease in March 2022, and is scheduled to expire in March 2024. The Company expects to recognize right-of-use leased assets and corresponding operating lease liabilities of approximately $3.0 million on the consolidated balance sheet on the Commencement Date in the second quarter of 2022.
Tech Center Lease
In September 2021, the Company entered into a lease agreement for 181,949 square feet of additional general administrative, laboratory, and research and development office space (the Premises) located on High Bluff Drive in San Diego, California (Tech Center Lease). Possession of the Premises is expected to be tendered to the Company by the landlord in two phases, with Phase I consisting of 143,850 rentable square feet, and Phase II consisting of 38,099 rentable square feet. The Company intends to use Phase I of the Tech Center Lease for operations currently located at the Roselle Street Leases.
The initial lease term Phase I Commencement Date will occur on the date the Company is tendered possession of the Phase I portion of the Premises (which is currently expected to be in March 2022), and rent payments commence six months thereafter (the Phase I Rent Commencement Date). The Phase II Commencement Date is expected to occur upon the earlier of (i) the date upon which the Company first commences business in the Phase II portion of the Premises, and (ii) May 1, 2025 (the Phase II Rent Commencement Date). The lease will expire twelve years, eight months from the first day of the first full month following the Phase I Rent Commencement Date. The Company has two options to extend the term of the lease, with each option providing for an additional period of five years, by delivering written notice to the landlord in accordance with the terms of the Tech Center Lease.

The Tech Center Lease also includes a first right of offer with respect to an additional 34,569 rentable square feet of general office space should the space become available. The lease term and associated base rent for the additional space will not be known until the Company is notified that the additional space has become available, and the Company elects to lease the space on terms mutually satisfactory to the Company and the landlord.

The initial base rent for the Tech Center Lease is approximately $906,000 per month beginning on the Phase I Rent Commencement Date, and the base rent increases by approximately $255,000 per month on the Phase II Rent Commencement Date. The monthly base rent will increase annually by 3.0% on each annual anniversary of the respective Rent Commencement Date. In addition to the monthly base rent, the Company is required to pay its proportionate share of certain ongoing operating expenses throughout the duration of the lease. No base rent, other than the proportionate share of operating expenses, will be due for the Phase I portion of the Premises for months two through nine of the initial lease term, and for the Phase II portion of the Premises for months two through five following the Phase II Rent Commencement Date.

Future minimum payments for monthly base rent due under the respective High Bluff Lease and Tech Center Lease terms, are currently estimated to be as follows (in thousands), subject to a number of factors, including the actual Commencement Date of the lease:
