Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Organization And Business

1. Organization and Business

As used in these consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise indicated, all references to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company,” and “Paramount” refer to Paramount Group, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries, including Paramount Group Operating Partnership LP (the “Operating Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership. We are a fully-integrated real estate investment trust (“REIT”) focused on owning, operating, managing, acquiring and redeveloping high-quality, Class A office properties in select central business district submarkets of New York City and San Francisco. As of June 30, 2021, our portfolio consisted of 13 Class A properties aggregating 12.9 million square feet. We conduct our business through, and substantially all of our interests in properties and investments are held by, the Operating Partnership. We are the sole general partner of, and owned approximately 91.0% of, the Operating Partnership as of June 30, 2021.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus 2019 (“COVID-19”) a global pandemic. The outbreak of COVID-19 caused severe disruptions in the global economy. These disruptions have adversely impacted businesses and financial markets, including that of New York and San Francisco, the markets in which we operate and where all of our assets are located. As a result, several of our tenants sought deferrals and/or short-term relief of their rental obligations and we provided relief to select tenants.

By February 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration had issued emergency use authorizations of three vaccines for the prevention of COVID-19.  In July 2021, New York and San Francisco lifted most COVID-19 restrictions since a significant portion of their populations have been vaccinated. Notwithstanding the vaccination success, multiple variants of the virus that cause COVID-19 continue to persist globally and in the United States. While we continue to navigate the crisis and monitor the impact of the pandemic on our business, the rapid development and fluidity of this situation precludes us at this time from making any predictions as to the ultimate impact COVID-19 may have on our future financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
