Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] |
Derivatives | Derivatives Our objectives in using derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage our cash flow volatility and exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, we primarily use derivative instruments as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. Derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Cash Flow Hedge s During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we entered into one, one-year interest rate swap with a notional value of $150,000 to manage our exposure to changes in the one month LIBOR rate (the "2020 Swap"). The 2020 Swap, which commenced April 1, 2020, fixes the one month LIBOR rate component on $150,000 of our outstanding balance on our Unsecured Credit Facility at 0.42%. We designated the 2020 Swap as a cash flow hedge. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, in anticipation of refinancing our 2014 Term Loan (see Notes 4 and 13), we also entered into three, five-year interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional value of $200,000 to fix the one month LIBOR rate (the "2021 Swaps"). The 2021 Swaps, which are effective commencing February 1, 2021, fix the one month LIBOR rate at 0.99%. We have designated the 2021 Swaps as cash flow hedges. In connection with the originations of the Unsecured Term Loans (see Note 4), we entered into interest rate swaps to manage our exposure to changes in the one month LIBOR rate. The four interest rate swaps, which fix the variable rate of the 2014 Unsecured Term Loan, have an aggregate notional value of $200,000, mature on January 29, 2021 and fix the LIBOR rate at a weighted average rate of 2.29% (the "2014 Swaps"). The six interest rate swaps, which fix the variable rate of the 2015 Unsecured Term Loan, have an aggregate notional value of $260,000, mature on September 12, 2022 and fix the LIBOR rate at a weighted average rate of 1.79% (the "2015 Swaps"). We designated the 2014 Swaps and 2015 Swaps as cash flow hedges. Our agreements with our derivative counterparties contain certain cross-default provisions that may be triggered in the event that our other indebtedness is in default, subject to certain thresholds. As of June 30, 2020, we had not posted any collateral related to these agreements and were not in breach of any of the provisions of these agreements. If we had breached these agreements, we could have been required to settle our obligations under the agreements at their termination value. The following table sets forth our financial liabilities related to the 2014 Swaps, the 2015 Swaps, the 2020 Swap and the 2021 Swaps which are included in the line item Accounts Payable, Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities and are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2020:

There was no ineffectiveness recorded on the 2014 Swaps, the 2015 Swaps, the 2020 Swap or the 2021 Swaps during the six months ended June 30, 2020. See Note 7 for more information regarding our derivatives. The estimated fair value of the 2014 Swaps, the 2015 Swaps, the 2020 Swap and the 2021 Swaps was determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. In addition, credit valuation adjustments are incorporated in the fair value to account for potential non-performance risk, including our own non-performance risk and the respective counterparty's non-performance risk. We determined that the significant inputs used to value the 2014 Swaps, the 2015 Swaps, the 2020 Swap and the 2021 Swaps fell within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
