Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Segments	Segments At June 30, 2021, the Company had three reportable operating segments: Core Portfolio, Funds and Structured Financing. The Company’s chief operating decision maker may review operational and financial data on a property-level basis and does not differentiate properties on a geographical basis for purposes of allocating resources or capital.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The interim consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company and its investments in partnerships and limited liability companies in which the Company has control in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810 “Consolidation” (“ASC Topic 810”). The ownership interests of other investors in these entities are recorded as noncontrolling interests. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in entities for which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over, but does not have financial or operating control, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company’s share of the earnings (or losses) of these entities are included in consolidated net income or loss. The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year. The information furnished in the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflects all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the aforementioned consolidated financial statements for the interim periods. Such adjustments consisted of normal recurring items, with the exception of adjustments due to the adoption of the new credit loss standard and impairment. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on February 22, 2021.
Reclassifications	Reclassifications Certain prior year amounts on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2020 with regard to Mortgage and other notes payable, net and Unsecured notes payable, net have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. In addition, certain prior year amounts in the Company’s statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020 with regard to Right-of-use assets – operating leases, lease liabilities – operating leases and credit losses have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no material effect on the reported results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the interim consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to the valuation of real estate, depreciable lives, revenue recognition and the collectability of notes receivable and rents receivable. Application of these estimates and assumptions requires the exercise of judgment as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Recently Adopted Accounting and Reporting Guidance	Recently Adopted Accounting and Reporting Guidance In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The amendments in this Update provide guidance for interim period and intra period tax accounting; provide tax accounting guidance for foreign subsidiaries; require that an entity recognize a franchise (or similar) tax that is partially based on income as an income-based tax and account for any incremental amount incurred as a non-income-based tax; as well as other changes to tax accounting. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. As a REIT, the Company usually does not have significant income taxes. Accordingly, the implementation of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. During October 2020, the SEC issued new rules modernizing certain Regulation S-K disclosure requirements. The final rule is intended to improve the readability of disclosures, reduce repetition, and eliminate immaterial information, thereby simplifying compliance for registrants and making disclosures more meaningful for investors. These changes were effective for all filings on or after November 7, 2020. The Company has made minor disclosure changes in this Report and to the "Business" and "Risk Factors" sections of the annual report on Form 10-K for 2020. On April 8, 2020, the FASB issued a Q&A allowing for reporting entities to make an accounting policy election to account for lease concessions related to the effects of COVID-19 consistent with how those concessions would be accounted for under Topic 842, which is as though the enforceable rights and obligations for those concessions existed regardless of whether those enforceable rights and obligations for the concessions explicitly exist in the contract. This election is available for concessions that result in the total cash flows required by the modified contract being substantially the same or less than total cash flows required by the original contract. Effective April 1, 2020, the Company has made the accounting policy election noted above. The Company entered into concession agreements as lessor during the six months ended June 30, 2021 (Note 11). The Company may grant further concessions during subsequent periods. In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01 Investments—Equity securities (Topic 321), Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)—Clarifying the Interactions Between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815. The amendments in this Update affect all entities that apply the guidance in Topics 321, 323, and 815 and (i) elect to apply the measurement alternative or (ii) enter into a forward contract or purchase an option to purchase securities that, upon settlement of the forward contract or exercise of the purchased option, would be accounted for under the equity method of accounting. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Currently, the Company does not apply the measurement alternative and does not have any such forward contracts or purchase options. As a result, the implementation of this guidance did not have any effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-08 Codification Improvements to Subtopic 310-20, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs. The amendments in this update clarify that an entity should reevaluate whether a callable debt security is within the scope of paragraph 310-20-35-33 for each reporting period. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early application is not permitted. Currently, the Company does not have any such callable debt securities. As a result, the implementation of this guidance did not have any effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06—Debt with conversion and other options (Subtopic 470-20) and derivatives and hedging—contracts in entity's own equity (Subtopic 815-40)—accounting for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity's own equity. This ASU simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments and simplifies the diluted earnings per share (EPS) calculation in certain areas. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Currently, the Company does not have any such debt instruments and, as a result, the implementation of this guidance is not expected to have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01 Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) which modifies ASC 848, which was intended to provide relief related to “contracts and transactions that reference LIBOR or a reference rate that is expected to be discontinued as a result of reference rate reform.” ASU 2021-01 expands the scope of ASC 848 to include all affected derivatives and give reporting entities the ability to apply certain aspects of the contract modification and hedge accounting expedients to derivative contracts affected by the discounting transition. ASU 2021-01 also adds implementation guidance to clarify which optional expedients in ASC 848 may be applied to derivative instruments that do not reference LIBOR or a reference rate that is expected to be discontinued, but that are being modified as a result of the discounting transition. Currently, the Company does not anticipate the need to modify any existing debt agreements as a result of reference rate reform in the current year. If any modification is executed as a result of reference rate reform, the Company will elect the optional practical expedient under ASU 2020-04 and 2021-01, which allows entities to account for the modification as if the modification was not substantial. As a result, the implementation of this guidance is not expected to have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04 Modification of equity-classified written call options — Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging— Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options — to codify how an issuer should account for modifications made to equity-classified written call options (a warrant to purchase the issuer’s common stock). The guidance in the ASU requires the issuer to treat a modification of an equity-classified warrant that does not cause the warrant to become liability-classified as an exchange whether structured as an amendment or reissuance and is effective for all periods beginning after December 15, 2021 with early application permitted. The Company does not currently have any outstanding equity awards with written call options. As a result, the implementation of this guidance is not expected to have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Lease Intangibles	Upon acquisitions of real estate (Note 2), the Company assesses the fair value of acquired assets (including land, buildings and improvements, and identified intangibles such as above- and below-market leases, including below-market options and acquired in-place leases) and assumed liabilities. The lease intangibles are amortized over the remaining terms of the respective leases, including option periods where applicable.
Earnings Per Common Share	Basic earnings per Common Share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Common Shareholders by the weighted-average Common Shares outstanding (Note 10). During the periods presented, the Company had unvested LTIP Units which provide for non-forfeitable rights to dividend equivalent payments. Accordingly, these unvested LTIP Units are considered participating securities and are included in the computation of basic earnings per Common Share pursuant to the two-class method. Diluted earnings per Common Share reflects the potential dilution of the conversion of obligations and the assumed exercises of securities including the effects of Restricted Share Units issued under the Company’s Share Incentive Plans (Note 13). The effect of such shares is excluded from the calculation of earnings per share when anti-dilutive as indicated in the table below. The effect of the conversion of Common OP Units is not reflected in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share, as they are exchangeable for Common Shares on a one-for-one basis. The income allocable to such units is allocated on this same basis and reflected as noncontrolling interests in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As such, the assumed conversion of these units would have no net impact on the determination of diluted earnings per share.
