Equity [Abstract]
Equity and Capital	Equity and Capital ATM Program In January 2020, the Company established an at-the-market equity offering program (the “ATM Program”) through which the Company may sell from time to time up to an aggregate of $400.0 million of its common stock through sales agents over a three-year period. The ATM Program also provides that the Company may enter into forward contracts for shares of its common stock with forward sellers and forward purchasers. The ATM Program is scheduled to expire on January 9, 2023, unless earlier terminated or extended by the Company, sales agents, forward sellers and forward purchasers. As of December 31, 2020, no shares have been issued under the ATM Program, and as a result, $400.0 million of common stock remained available for issuance. Share Repurchase Program In January 2020, the Company established a new share repurchase program (the “Program”) for up to $400.0 million of the Company’s common stock. The Program is scheduled to expire on January 9, 2023, unless suspended or extended by the Board of Directors. The Program replaced the Company’s prior share repurchase program (the “Prior Program”), which expired on December 5, 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company repurchased 1.7 million shares of common stock under the Program at an average price per share of $15.14 for a total of $25.0 million, excluding commissions. The Company incurred commissions of less than $0.1 million in conjunction with the Program for the year ended December 31, 2020. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company repurchased 0.8 million shares of common stock under the Prior Program at an average price per share of $17.43 for a total of $14.6 million, excluding commissions. The Company incurred commissions of less than $0.1 million in conjunction with the Prior Program for the year ended December 31, 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company repurchased 6.3 million shares of common stock under the Prior Program at an average price per share of $16.56 for a total of $104.6 million, excluding commissions. The Company incurred commissions of $0.1 million in conjunction with the Prior Program for the year ended December 31, 2018. As of December 31, 2020, the Program had $375.0 million of available repurchase capacity. Common Stock In connection with the vesting of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the Company’s equity-based compensation plan, the Company withholds shares to satisfy tax withholding obligations. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company withheld 0.2 million and 0.1 million shares, respectively. Dividends and Distributions Because Brixmor Property Group Inc. is a holding company and has no material assets other than its ownership of BPG Sub, through which it owns the Operating Partnership, and no material operations other than those conducted by the Operating Partnership, distributions are funded as follows: •first, the Operating Partnership makes distributions to its partners that are holders of OP Units, including BPG Sub; •second, BPG Sub distributes to Brixmor Property Group Inc. its share of such distributions; and •third, Brixmor Property Group Inc. distributes the amount authorized by its Board of Directors and declared by Brixmor Property Group Inc. to its common stockholders on a pro rata basis. During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company declared common stock dividends and OP Unit distributions of $0.500 per share/unit, $1.125 per share/unit and $1.105 per share/unit, respectively. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had declared but unpaid common stock dividends and OP Unit distributions of $66.0 million and $87.2 million, respectively.
