Nature Of Operations [Abstract] |
BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION | BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION Federal Realty Investment Trust (the "Parent Company" and the "Trust") is an equity real estate investment trust ("REIT"). Federal Realty OP LP (the "Operating Partnership") is the entity through which the Parent Company conducts substantially all of its operations and owns all of its assets. The Parent Company owns 100% of the limited liability company interests of, is sole member of and exercises exclusive control over Federal Realty GP LLC (the "General Partner"), which in turn, is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company specializes in the ownership, operation, and redevelopment of high-quality retail-based properties through the Operating Partnership, and has no other substantial assets or liabilities other than through its investment in the Operating Partnership. Our properties are located primarily in major coastal markets and select underserved regions that we believe have strong economic and demographic fundamentals. As of March 31, 2026, we owned or had a majority interest in community and neighborhood shopping centers and mixed-use properties which are operated as 104 predominantly retail real estate projects. We operate in a manner intended to enable the Trust to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. A REIT that distributes at least 90% of its taxable income to its shareholders each year and meets certain other conditions is not taxed on that portion of its taxable income which is distributed to its shareholders. Therefore, federal income taxes on our taxable income have been and are generally expected to be immaterial. We are obligated to pay state taxes, generally consisting of franchise or gross receipts taxes in certain states. Such state taxes also have not been material. General Economic Conditions Significant uncertainty continues within the macro-economic and political environment including inflation risk, changes in interest rates, geopolitical instability, changes in tariffs and their impact on trade and prices, increases or decreases in federal and government spending, and potentially worsening economic conditions, which presents risks for our business and tenants. We continue to monitor and address risks related to the general state of the economy. We believe the actions we have taken to maintain a strong financial position and reinforce our liquidity will continue to mitigate the negative short term impacts of the current environment. The extent of the future effects on our business, results of operations, cash flows, and growth strategies is highly uncertain and will ultimately depend on future developments, none of which can be predicted.
