Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract]  
Stockholders' Equity of the Company and Partners' Capital of the Operating Partnership Equity of the Company and Partners' Capital of the Operating Partnership
Noncontrolling Interest of the Company
The equity positions of various individuals and entities that contributed their properties to the Operating Partnership in exchange for Limited Partner Units, as well as the equity positions of the holders of Limited Partner Units issued in connection with the grant of restricted limited partner Units ("RLP Units") pursuant to the Company's stock incentive plan, are collectively referred to as the “Noncontrolling Interests.” An RLP Unit is a class of limited partnership interest of the Operating Partnership that is structured as a “profits interest” for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is an award that is granted under our Stock Incentive Plan (see Note 11). Generally, RLP Units entitle the holder to receive distributions from the Operating Partnership that are equivalent to the dividends and distributions that would be made with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock underlying such RLP Units, though receipt of such distributions may be delayed or made contingent on vesting. Once an RLP Unit has vested and received allocations of book income sufficient to increase the book capital account balance associated with such RLP Unit (which will initially be zero) equal to, on a per-unit basis, the book capital account balance associated with a “common” Limited Partner Unit of the Operating Partnership, it automatically becomes a common Limited Partner Unit that is convertible by the holder into one share of Common Stock or a cash equivalent, at the Company’s option. Net income is allocated to the Noncontrolling Interests based on the weighted average ownership percentage during the period.
Noncontrolling Interest - Joint Venture
Our ownership interest in the Joint Venture is held through a partnership with a third party. We concluded that we hold the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the partnership. As a result, we consolidate the partnership and reflect the third party's interest in the partnership that invests in the Joint Venture as a Noncontrolling Interest. For the year ended December 31, 2022, our partner's share of the partnership's income was $14,003 and was reflected in the Equity in Income (Loss) of Joint Ventures and the Net Income Attributable to the Noncontrolling Interests line items in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Noncontrolling Interests line item in the Consolidated Balance Sheets includes $14,018 that is our third party partner's interest at December 31, 2022.
Operating Partnership Units
The Operating Partnership has issued General Partner Units and Limited Partner Units. The General Partner Units resulted from capital contributions from the Company. The Limited Partner Units are issued in conjunction with the acquisition of certain properties as well as through the issuance of RLP Units. Subject to certain lock-up periods, holders of Limited Partner Units can redeem their Units by providing written notification to the General Partner. Unless the General Partner provides notice of a redemption restriction to the holder, redemption must be made within seven business days after receipt of the holder's notice. The redemption can be effectuated, as determined by the General Partner, either by exchanging the Limited Partner Units for shares of common stock of the Company on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment, or by paying cash equal to the fair market value of such shares. Prior requests for redemption have generally been fulfilled with shares of common stock of the Company, and the Operating Partnership intends to continue this practice. If each Limited Partner Unit of the Operating Partnership were redeemed as of December 31, 2022, the Operating Partnership could satisfy its redemption obligations by making an aggregate cash payment of approximately $147,471 or by issuing 3,055,766 shares of the Company's common stock.
Preferred Stock or General Partner Preferred Units
The Company has 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were no preferred shares or general partner preferred Units outstanding.

ATM Program
On February 14, 2020, we entered into distribution agreements with certain sales agents to sell up to 14,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, for up to $500,000 aggregate gross sales proceeds, from time to time in "at-the-market" offerings (the "2020 ATM Program"). Under the terms of the 2020 ATM Program, sales are to be made through transactions that are deemed to be "at-the-market" offerings, including sales made directly on the New York Stock Exchange or sales made through a market maker other than on an exchange or sales made through privately negotiated transactions. During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, we issued 218,230, 2,513,758 and 1,842,281 shares of the Company's common stock under the ATM, respectively, which resulted in $12,823, $145,760 and $78,718 of net proceeds, respectively, and payment of compensation to certain sales agents of $130, $1,472 and $795, respectively.
