Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Business Overview	Business Overview Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated (the "Company") is a real estate investment trust ("REIT") that owns, leases, manages, acquires, finances, develops and redevelops income-producing real estate properties associated primarily with the delivery of outpatient healthcare services throughout the United States. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had gross investments of approximately $11.2 billion in 559 consolidated real estate properties, construction in progress, redevelopments, financing receivables, financing lease right-of-use assets, land held for development and corporate property, excluding held for sale assets. In addition, as of June 30, 2025, the Company had a weighted average ownership interest of approximately 30% in 63 real estate properties held in unconsolidated joint ventures. See Note 2 below for more details regarding the Company's unconsolidated joint ventures. The Company's consolidated real estate properties are located in 32 states and total approximately 32.2 million square feet. The Company provided leasing and property management services to 93% of its portfolio nationwide as of June 30, 2025. The Company is structured as an umbrella partnership REIT under which substantially all of its business is conducted through the operating partnership, Healthcare Realty Holdings, L.P. (the “OP”), the day-to-day management of which is exclusively controlled by the Company. As of June 30, 2025, the Company owned 98.6% of the issued and outstanding units of the OP (“OP Units”), with other investors owning the remaining 1.4% of OP Units. Any references to square footage or occupancy percentage, and any amounts derived from these values in these notes to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, are outside the scope of our independent registered public accounting firm’s review.
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. This interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Management believes that all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. In addition, the interim financial information does not necessarily represent or indicate what the operating results will be for the year ending December 31, 2025 for many reasons including, but not limited to, acquisitions, dispositions, capital financing transactions, changes in interest rates and the effects of other trends, risks and uncertainties.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and joint ventures and partnerships where the Company controls the operating activities. GAAP requires us to identify entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights and to determine which business enterprise is the primary beneficiary of variable interest entities (“VIEs”). Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, Consolidation broadly defines a VIE as an entity in which either (i) the equity investors as a group, if any, lack the power through voting or similar rights to direct the activities of such entity that most significantly impact such entity’s economic performance or (ii) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support. The Company identifies the primary beneficiary of a VIE as the enterprise that has both of the following characteristics: (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the entity. The Company consolidates its investment in a VIE when it determines that it is the VIE’s primary beneficiary, with any minority interests reflected as non-controlling interests or redeemable non-controlling interests in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company may change its original assessment of a VIE upon subsequent events, such as the modification of contractual arrangements that affect the characteristics or adequacy of the entity’s equity investments at risk, the disposition of all or a portion of an interest held by the primary beneficiary, or changes in facts and circumstances that impact the power to direct activities of the VIE that most significantly impacts economic performance. The Company performs this analysis on an ongoing basis. For property holding entities not determined to be VIEs, the Company consolidates such entities in which it owns 100% of the equity or has a controlling financial interest evidenced by ownership of a majority voting interest. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. For an entity in which the Company owns less than 100% of the equity interest, the Company consolidates the entity if it has the direct or indirect ability to control the entity's activities based upon the terms of the entity's ownership agreements. The OP is 98.6% owned by the Company. Other holders of OP Units are considered to be non-controlling interest holders in the OP and their ownership interests are reflected as equity in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Further, a portion of the earnings and losses of the OP are allocated to non-controlling interest holders based on their respective ownership percentages. Upon conversion of OP Units to common stock, any difference between the fair value of the common stock issued and the carrying value of the OP Units converted to common stock is recorded as a component of equity. As of June 30, 2025, there were approximately 5.1 million OP Units, or 1.4% of OP Units issued and outstanding, held by non-controlling interest holders. Additionally, the Company is the primary beneficiary of this VIE. Accordingly, the Company consolidates its interests in the OP.
Variable Interest Entities	As of June 30, 2025, the Company's unconsolidated joint venture arrangement was accounted for using the equity method of accounting as the Company exercised significant influence over but did not control this entity.
Use of Estimates in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements	Use of Estimates in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Segment Reporting	Segment Reporting The Company owns, leases, acquires, manages, finances, develops and redevelops outpatient and other healthcare-related properties. The Company is managed as one operating segment, rather than multiple operating segments, for internal reporting purposes and for internal decision-making and discloses its operating results in a single reportable segment. The Company's chief operating decision makers (“CODM”), represented by the Company's Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and the Chief Operating Officer, review financial information and assess the consolidated operations of the Company in order to make strategic decisions such as allocation of capital expenditures and other significant expenses. See Note 9 for additional information on segment reporting.
Redeemable Non-Controlling Interests	Redeemable Non-Controlling Interests The Company accounts for redeemable equity securities in accordance with ASC Topic 480: Accounting for Redeemable Equity Instruments, which requires that equity securities redeemable at the option of the holder, not solely within our control, be classified outside permanent stockholders’ equity. The Company classifies redeemable equity securities as redeemable non-controlling interests in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Accordingly, the Company records the carrying amount at the greater of the initial carrying amount (increased or decreased for the non-controlling interest’s share of net income or loss and distributions) or the redemption value. The Company measures the redemption value and records an adjustment to the carrying value of the equity securities as a component of redeemable non-controlling interest.
Asset Impairment	Asset Impairment The Company assesses the potential for impairment of identifiable, definite-lived, intangible assets and long-lived assets, including real estate properties, whenever the occurrence of an event or a change in circumstances indicates that the carrying value might not be fully recoverable. Indicators of impairment may include significant underperformance of an asset relative to historical or expected operating results; significant changes in the Company’s use of assets or the strategy for its overall business; plans to sell an asset before its depreciable life has ended; the expiration of a significant portion of leases in a property; or significant negative economic trends or negative industry trends for the Company or its tenants.
Investments in Leases - Financing Receivables, Net and Real Estate Notes Receivable and Interest Income	Investments in Leases - Financing Receivables, Net In accordance with ASC Topic 842: Leases, for transactions in which the Company enters into a contract to acquire an asset and leases it back to the seller (i.e., a sale leaseback transaction), control of the asset is not considered to have transferred when the seller-lessee has a purchase option. As a result, the Company does not recognize the underlying real estate assets but instead recognizes a financial asset in accordance with ASC Topic 310: Receivables. Real Estate Notes Receivable Real estate notes receivable consists of mezzanine and other real estate loans, which are generally collateralized by a pledge of the borrower’s ownership interest in the respective real estate owner, a mortgage or deed of trust, and/or corporate guarantees. Real estate notes receivable are intended to be held to maturity and are recorded at amortized cost, net of unamortized loan origination costs and fees and allowance for credit losses. Allowance for Credit Losses Pursuant to ASC Topic 326: Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, the Company adopted a policy to evaluate current expected credit losses at the inception of loans qualifying for treatment under ASC Topic 326. The Company utilizes a probability of default method approach for estimating current expected credit losses and evaluates the liquidity and creditworthiness of its borrowers on a quarterly basis to determine whether any updates to the future expected losses recognized upon inception are necessary. The Company’s evaluation considers industry and economic conditions, credit enhancements, liquidity, and other factors. The determination of the credit allowance is based on a quarterly evaluation of all outstanding loans, including general economic conditions and estimated collectability of loan payments. The Company evaluates the collectability of loan receivables based on a combination of credit quality indicators, including, but not limited to, payment status, historical loan charge-offs, financial strength of the borrower and guarantors, and nature, extent, and value of the underlying collateral. A loan is considered to have deteriorated credit quality when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due as scheduled according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. For those loans identified as having deteriorated credit quality, the amount of credit loss is determined on an individual basis. Placement on non-accrual status may be required. Consistent with this definition, all loans on non-accrual status are deemed to have deteriorated credit quality. To the extent circumstances improve and the risk of collectability is diminished, the loan may return to income accrual status. While a loan is on non-accrual status, any cash receipts are applied against the outstanding principal balance. Interest Income Income from Lease Financing Receivables The Company recognized the related income from two financing receivables totaling $2.0 million and $3.9 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, and $2.1 million and $4.2 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, based on an imputed interest rate over the terms of the applicable lease. As a result, the interest recognized from the financing receivable in any particular period will not equal the cash payments from the lease agreement in that period. Acquisition costs incurred in connection with entering into the financing receivable are treated as loan origination fees. These costs are classified with the financing receivable and are included in the balance of the net investment. Amortization of these amounts will be recognized as a reduction to interest income over the life of the lease.
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC Topic 606)	Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC Topic 606) The Company recognizes certain revenue under the core principle of ASC Topic 606. This topic requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Lease revenue is not within the scope of ASC Topic 606. To achieve the core principle, the Company applies the five-step model specified in the guidance. Revenue that is accounted for under ASC Topic 606 is segregated on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the Other operating line item. This line item includes parking income, management fee income and other miscellaneous income. The Company’s major types of revenue that are accounted for under Topic 606 that are listed above are all accounted for as the performance obligation is satisfied. The performance obligations that are identified for each of these items are satisfied over time, and the Company recognizes revenue monthly based on this principle.
New Accounting Pronouncements	New Accounting Pronouncements On November 4, 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which will require entities to provide more detailed information in the notes to the financial statements related to certain expense captions on the face of the income statement. The ASU aims to increase transparency and provide investors with more detailed information about the nature of expenses reported on the face of the income statement. The new standard does not change the requirements for the presentation of expenses on the face of the income statement. Under this ASU, entities are required to disaggregate, in a tabular format, expense captions presented on the face of the income statement — excluding earnings or losses from equity method investments — if they include any of the following expense categories: purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and depreciation or depletion. For any remaining items within each relevant expense caption, entities must provide a qualitative description of the nature of those expenses. The new ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and compliance with these new disclosure requirements will begin with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2027.

Any references to square footage or occupancy percentage, and any amounts derived from these values in these notes to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, are outside the scope of our independent registered public accounting firm’s review.

Basis of Presentation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

This interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Management believes that all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. In addition, the interim financial information does not necessarily represent or indicate what the operating results will be for the year ending December 31, 2025 for many reasons including, but not limited to, acquisitions, dispositions, capital financing transactions, changes in interest rates and the effects of other trends, risks and uncertainties.

Principles of Consolidation

The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and joint ventures and partnerships where the Company controls the operating activities. GAAP requires us to identify entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights and to determine which business enterprise is the primary beneficiary of variable interest entities (“VIEs”). Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, Consolidation broadly defines a VIE as an entity in which either (i) the equity investors as a group, if any, lack the power through voting or similar rights to direct the activities of such entity that most significantly impact such entity’s economic performance or (ii) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support. The Company identifies the primary beneficiary of a VIE as the enterprise that has both of the following characteristics: (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the entity. The Company consolidates its investment in a VIE when it determines that it is the VIE’s primary beneficiary, with any minority interests reflected as non-controlling interests or redeemable non-controlling interests in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company may change its original assessment of a VIE upon subsequent events, such as the modification of contractual arrangements that affect the characteristics or adequacy of the entity’s equity investments at risk, the disposition of all or a portion of an interest held by the primary beneficiary, or changes in facts and circumstances

that impact the power to direct activities of the VIE that most significantly impacts economic performance. The Company performs this analysis on an ongoing basis.

For property holding entities not determined to be VIEs, the Company consolidates such entities in which it owns 100% of the equity or has a controlling financial interest evidenced by ownership of a majority voting interest. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. For an entity in which the Company owns less than 100% of the equity interest, the Company consolidates the entity if it has the direct or indirect ability to control the entity's activities based upon the terms of the entity's ownership agreements.

The OP is 98.6% owned by the Company. Other holders of OP Units are considered to be non-controlling interest holders in the OP and their ownership interests are reflected as equity in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Further, a portion of the earnings and losses of the OP are allocated to non-controlling interest holders based on their respective ownership percentages. Upon conversion of OP Units to common stock, any difference between the fair value of the common stock issued and the carrying value of the OP Units converted to common stock is recorded as a component of equity. As of June 30, 2025, there were approximately 5.1 million OP Units, or 1.4% of OP Units issued and outstanding, held by non-controlling interest holders. Additionally, the Company is the primary beneficiary of this VIE. Accordingly, the Company consolidates its interests in the OP.

Variable Interest Entities

As of June 30, 2025, the Company's unconsolidated joint venture arrangement was accounted for using the equity method of accounting as the Company exercised significant influence over but did not control this entity.

Use of Estimates in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Segment Reporting

The Company owns, leases, acquires, manages, finances, develops and redevelops outpatient and other healthcare-related properties. The Company is managed as one operating segment, rather than multiple operating segments, for internal reporting purposes and for internal decision-making and discloses its operating results in a single reportable segment. The Company's chief operating decision makers (“CODM”), represented by the Company's Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and the Chief Operating Officer, review financial information and assess the consolidated operations of the Company in order to make strategic decisions such as allocation of capital expenditures and other significant expenses. See Note 9 for additional information on segment reporting.

Redeemable Non-Controlling Interests

The Company accounts for redeemable equity securities in accordance with ASC Topic 480: Accounting for Redeemable Equity Instruments, which requires that equity securities redeemable at the option of the holder, not solely within our control, be classified outside permanent stockholders’ equity. The Company classifies redeemable equity securities as redeemable non-controlling interests in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Accordingly, the Company records the carrying amount at the greater of the initial carrying amount (increased or decreased for the non-controlling interest’s share of net income or loss and distributions) or the redemption value. The Company measures the redemption value and records an adjustment to the carrying value of the equity securities as a component of redeemable non-controlling interest.

Asset Impairment

The Company assesses the potential for impairment of identifiable, definite-lived, intangible assets and long-lived assets, including real estate properties, whenever the occurrence of an event or a change in circumstances indicates that the carrying value might not be fully recoverable. Indicators of impairment may include significant underperformance of an asset relative to historical or expected operating results; significant changes in the Company’s use of assets or the strategy for its overall business; plans to sell an asset before its depreciable life has ended; the expiration of a significant portion of leases in a property; or significant negative economic trends or negative industry trends for the Company or its tenants.

Investments in Leases - Financing Receivables, Net and Real Estate Notes Receivable and Interest Income

Investments in Leases - Financing Receivables, Net

In accordance with ASC Topic 842: Leases, for transactions in which the Company enters into a contract to acquire an asset and leases it back to the seller (i.e., a sale leaseback transaction), control of the asset is not considered to have transferred when the seller-lessee has a purchase option. As a result, the Company does not recognize the underlying

real estate assets but instead recognizes a financial asset in accordance with ASC Topic 310: Receivables.

Real Estate Notes Receivable

Real estate notes receivable consists of mezzanine and other real estate loans, which are generally collateralized by a pledge of the borrower’s ownership interest in the respective real estate owner, a mortgage or deed of trust, and/or corporate guarantees. Real estate notes receivable are intended to be held to maturity and are recorded at amortized cost, net of unamortized loan origination costs and fees and allowance for credit losses.

Allowance for Credit Losses

Pursuant to ASC Topic 326: Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, the Company adopted a policy to evaluate current expected credit losses at the inception of loans qualifying for treatment under ASC Topic 326. The Company utilizes a probability of default method approach for estimating current expected credit losses and evaluates the liquidity and creditworthiness of its borrowers on a quarterly basis to determine whether any updates to the future expected losses recognized upon inception are necessary. The Company’s evaluation considers industry and economic conditions, credit enhancements, liquidity, and other factors. The determination of the credit allowance is based on a quarterly evaluation of all outstanding loans, including general economic conditions and estimated collectability of loan payments. The Company evaluates the collectability of loan receivables based on a combination of credit quality

indicators, including, but not limited to, payment status, historical loan charge-offs, financial strength of the borrower and guarantors, and nature, extent, and value of the underlying collateral. A loan is considered to have deteriorated credit quality when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due as scheduled according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. For those loans identified as having deteriorated credit quality, the amount of credit loss is determined on an individual basis. Placement on non-accrual status may be required. Consistent with this definition, all loans on non-accrual status are deemed to have deteriorated credit quality. To the extent circumstances improve and the risk of collectability is diminished, the loan may return to income accrual status. While a loan is on non-accrual status, any cash receipts are applied against the outstanding principal balance.

Interest Income

Income from Lease Financing Receivables

The Company recognized the related income from two financing receivables totaling $2.0 million and $3.9 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, and $2.1 million and $4.2 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, based on an imputed interest rate over the terms of the applicable lease. As a result, the interest recognized from the financing receivable in any particular period will not equal the cash payments from the lease agreement in that period.

Acquisition costs incurred in connection with entering into the financing receivable are treated as loan origination fees. These costs are classified with the financing receivable and are included in the balance of the net investment. Amortization of these amounts will be recognized as a reduction to interest income over the life of the lease.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC Topic 606)

The Company recognizes certain revenue under the core principle of ASC Topic 606. This topic requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Lease revenue is not within the scope of ASC Topic 606. To achieve the core principle, the Company applies the five-step model specified in the guidance.

Revenue that is accounted for under ASC Topic 606 is segregated on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the Other operating line item. This line item includes parking income, management fee income and other miscellaneous income.

The Company’s major types of revenue that are accounted for under Topic 606 that are listed above are all accounted for as the performance obligation is satisfied. The performance obligations that are identified for each of these items are satisfied over time, and the Company recognizes revenue monthly based on this principle.

New Accounting Pronouncements

On November 4, 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which will require entities to provide more detailed information in the notes to the financial statements related to certain expense captions on the face of the income statement. The ASU aims to increase transparency and provide investors with more detailed information about the nature of expenses reported on the face of the income statement. The new standard does not change the requirements for the presentation of expenses on the face of the income statement.

Under this ASU, entities are required to disaggregate, in a tabular format, expense captions presented on the face of the income statement — excluding earnings or losses from equity method investments — if they include any of the following expense categories: purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and depreciation or depletion. For any remaining items within each relevant expense caption, entities must provide a qualitative description of the nature of those expenses. The new ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and compliance with these new disclosure requirements will begin with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2027.
