Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Consolidation | Consolidation The Company consolidates properties that are wholly-owned and properties where it owns less than 100%, but which it has control over the activities most important to the overall success of the partnership. Control is determined using an evaluation based on accounting standards related to the consolidation of Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs") and voting interest entities. Ownership of the Operating Partnership The Operating Partnership’s capital includes general and limited common Partnership Units. As of September 30, 2020, the Parent Company owned approximately 99.6% of the outstanding common Partnership Units of the Operating Partnership, with the remaining limited common Partnership Units held by third parties (“Exchangeable operating partnership units” or “EOP units”). Each EOP unit is exchangeable for cash or one share of common stock of the Parent Company, at the discretion of the Parent Company, and the unit holder cannot require redemption in cash or other assets. The Parent Company has evaluated the conditions as specified under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity as it relates to exchangeable operating partnership units outstanding and concluded that it has the right to satisfy the redemption requirements of the units by delivering unregistered common stock. Accordingly, the Parent Company classifies EOP units as permanent equity in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Equity and Comprehensive Income. The Parent Company serves as general partner of the Operating Partnership. The EOP unit holders have limited rights over the Operating Partnership such that they do not have the power to direct the activities of the Operating Partnership. As such, the Operating Partnership is considered a VIE, and the Parent Company, which consolidates it, is the primary beneficiary. The Parent Company’s only investment is the Operating Partnership. Net income and distributions of the Operating Partnership are allocable to the general and limited common Partnership Units in accordance with their ownership percentages.
Real Estate Partnerships | Real Estate Partnerships As of September 30, 2020, Regency had a partial ownership interest in 125 properties through partnerships, of which 10 are consolidated. Regency's partners include institutional investors and other real estate developers and/or operators (the “Partners” or “limited partners”). Regency has a variable interest in these entities through its equity interests, with Regency the primary beneficiary in certain of these real estate partnerships. As such, Regency consolidates the partnerships for which it is the primary beneficiary and reports the limited partners’ interests as Noncontrolling interests. For those partnerships which Regency is not the primary beneficiary and does not control, but has significant influence, Regency recognizes its investment in them using the equity method of accounting. The assets of these partnerships are restricted to the use of the partnerships and cannot be used by general creditors of the Company. And similarly, the obligations of the partnerships can only be settled by the assets of these partnerships or additional contributions by the partners. The major classes of assets, liabilities, and non-controlling equity interests held by the Company's consolidated VIEs, exclusive of the Operating Partnership, are as follows:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements The following table provides a brief description of recent accounting pronouncements and expected impact on our financial statements:
Standard |  | Description |  | Date of adoption |  | Effect on the financial statements or other significant matters
Recently adopted: |  |  |  |  |  |
Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, June 2016, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments |  | This ASU replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. This ASU applies to how the Company evaluates impairments of any available-for-sale debt securities and any non-operating lease receivables, including lease receivables arising from leases classified as sales-type or direct finance leases. |  | January 2020 |  | The Company has completed its evaluation and adoption of this standard, which resulted in changes in evaluating impairment of its available-for-sale debt securities. Declines in fair value below amortized cost resulting from credit related factors will be reflected in earnings, within Net investment income in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Changes in value from market related factors continue to be recognized in Other comprehensive income (“OCI”). The Company’s investments in available-for-sale debt securities are invested in investment grade quality holdings or U.S. government backed securities, and are well diversified. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company did not recognize any allowance for credit loss. Additionally, the Company’s non-operating lease receivables experienced no credit losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and the Company has no other financial instruments, such as lease receivables arising from sales-type or direct finance leases, subject to this ASU.
ASU 2018-19, November 2018, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses |  | This ASU clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of Subtopic 326-20. Instead, impairment of receivables arising from operating leases should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 842, Leases. |  | January 2020 |  | The Company has completed its evaluation and adoption of this standard with no additional changes in its accounting for operating leases and related receivables.
ASU 2018-13, August 2018, Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement |  | This ASU modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements within the scope of Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, including the removal and modification of certain existing disclosures, and the addition of new disclosures. |  | January 2020 |  | The Company has completed its evaluation and adoption of this new standard. The Company does not have any assets or liabilities measured to fair value requiring modified disclosures at September 30, 2020.
