Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 1. Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Organization The Company is a fully-integrated equity REIT focused on the ownership, acquisition, development, and management of retail properties located primarily in high-barrier-to-entry, supply-constrained, densely-populated metropolitan areas in the United States. All of the Company’s assets are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, Acadia Realty Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) and entities in which the Operating Partnership owns an interest. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company controlled approximately 95% and 95%, respectively, of the Operating Partnership as the sole general partner and is entitled to share, in proportion to its percentage interest, in the cash distributions and profits and losses of the Operating Partnership. The limited partners primarily represent entities or individuals that contributed their interests in certain properties or entities to the Operating Partnership in exchange for common or preferred units of limited partnership interest (“Common OP Units” or “Preferred OP Units”) and employees who have been awarded restricted Common OP Units (“LTIP Units”) as long-term incentive compensation (Note 13). Limited partners holding Common OP and LTIP Units are generally entitled to exchange their units on a one-for-one basis for common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (“Common Shares”). This structure is referred to as an umbrella partnership REIT or “UPREIT.” As of March 31, 2022, the Company has ownership interests in 136 properties within its core portfolio, which consist of those properties either 100% owned, or partially owned through joint venture interests, by the Operating Partnership, or subsidiaries thereof, not including those properties owned through its funds (“Core Portfolio”). The Company also has ownership interests in 52 properties within its opportunity funds, Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund II, LLC (“Fund II”), Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund III LLC (“Fund III”), Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund IV LLC (“Fund IV”), and Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund V LLC (“Fund V” and, collectively with Fund II, Fund III and Fund IV, the “Funds”). The 188 Core Portfolio and Fund properties primarily consist of street and urban retail and suburban shopping centers. In addition, the Company, together with the investors in the Funds, invested in operating companies through Acadia Mervyn Investors I, LLC (“Mervyns I,” which was liquidated in 2018) and Acadia Mervyn Investors II, LLC (“Mervyns II”), all on a non-recourse basis. The Company consolidates the Funds as it has (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the Funds’ economic performance, (ii) is obligated to absorb the Funds’ losses and (iii) has the right to receive benefits from the Funds that could potentially be significant. The Operating Partnership is the sole general partner or managing member of the Funds and Mervyns II and earns fees or priority distributions for asset management, property management, construction, development, leasing, and legal services. Cash flows from the Funds and Mervyns II are distributed pro-rata to their respective partners and members (including the Operating Partnership) until each receives a certain cumulative return (“Preferred Return”) and the return of all capital contributions. Thereafter, remaining cash flow is distributed 20% to the Operating Partnership (“Promote”) and 80% to the partners or members (including the Operating Partnership). All transactions between the Funds and the Operating Partnership have been eliminated in consolidation. The following table summarizes the general terms and Operating Partnership’s equity interests in the Funds and Mervyns II (dollars in millions):
Entity |  | Formation Date |  | Operating Partnership Share of Capital |  |  | Capital Called as of March 31, 2022 (b) |  |  | Unfunded Commitment (b, c) |  |  | Equity Interest Held By Operating Partnership (a) |  |  | Preferred Return |  |  | Total Distributions as of March 31, 2022 (b, c) |
Fund II and Mervyns II (c) |  | 6/2004 |  |  | 28.33 | % |  | $ | 384.1 |  |  | $ | 1.2 |  |  |  | 28.33 | % |  |  | 8 | % |  | $ | 169.8 |
Fund III |  | 5/2007 |  |  | 24.54 | % |  |  | 448.1 |  |  |  | 1.9 |  |  |  | 24.54 | % |  |  | 6 | % |  |  | 601.5 |
Fund IV |  | 5/2012 |  |  | 23.12 | % |  |  | 488.1 |  |  |  | 41.9 |  |  |  | 23.12 | % |  |  | 6 | % |  |  | 193.1 |
Fund V (d) |  | 8/2016 |  |  | 20.10 | % |  |  | 347.9 |  |  |  | 172.1 |  |  |  | 20.10 | % |  |  | 6 | % |  |  | 61.0 |
(a) Amount represents the current economic ownership at March 31, 2022, which could differ from the stated legal ownership based upon the cumulative preferred returns of the respective Fund. (b) Represents the total for the Funds, including the Operating Partnership and noncontrolling interests’ shares. (c) During August 2020, a recallable distribution of $15.7 million was made by Mervyn’s II to its investors, of which $4.5 million was the Company’s share. During 2021 and 2022, Mervyn’s II recalled $11.9 million and $2.6 million, respectively, of the $15.7 million, of which the Company's share is $3.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively. (d) As of April 8, 2021, Fund V's investment period was extended to August 25, 2022. Basis of Presentation Restatement of Prior Year Amounts As discussed in the Company's 2021 consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the "Annual Report"), the Company restated each of the quarterly and year-to-date periods ended March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021. Amounts as of or for the period ended March 31, 2021 depicted in these interim consolidated financial statements as "As Restated" are taken from the Company's restatement disclosures in the Annual Report. See the 2021 consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report for details of the restatement adjustments. Segments At March 31, 2022, the Company had three reportable operating segments: Core Portfolio, Funds and Structured Financing. The Company’s chief operating decision maker may review operational and financial data on a property-level basis and does not differentiate properties on a geographical basis for purposes of allocating resources or capital. Principles of Consolidation The interim consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company and its investments in partnerships and limited liability companies in which the Company has control in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810 “Consolidation” (“ASC Topic 810”). The ownership interests of other investors in these entities are recorded as noncontrolling interests. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in entities for which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over, but does not have financial or operating control, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company’s share of the earnings (or losses) of these entities are included in consolidated net income or loss. The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year. The information furnished in the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflects all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the aforementioned consolidated financial statements for the interim periods. Such adjustments consisted of normal recurring items. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2021 consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report. Use of Estimates GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the interim consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to the valuation of real estate, depreciable lives, revenue recognition and the collectability of notes receivable and rents receivable. Application of these estimates and assumptions requires the exercise of judgment as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates. Recently Adopted Accounting and Reporting Guidance In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06—Debt with conversion and other options (Subtopic 470-20) and derivatives and hedging—contracts in entity's own equity (Subtopic 815-40)—accounting for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity's own equity. This ASU simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments and simplifies the diluted earnings per share (EPS) calculation in certain areas. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Currently, the Company does not have any such debt instruments and, as a result, the implementation of this guidance did not have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04 Modification of Equity-Classified Written Call Options — Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging— Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options — to codify how an issuer should account for modifications made to equity-classified written call options (a warrant to purchase the issuer’s common stock). The guidance in the ASU requires the issuer to treat a modification of an equity-classified warrant that does not cause the warrant to become liability-classified as an exchange whether structured as an amendment or reissuance and is effective for all periods beginning after December 15, 2021 with early application permitted. The Company does not currently have any outstanding equity awards with written call options. As a result, the implementation of this guidance did not have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In July 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-05 Leases (Topic 842): Lessors—Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments. This Update requires a lessor to classify a lease with entirely or partially variable payments that do not depend on an index or rate as an operating lease if another classification (i.e. sales-type or direct financing) would trigger a commencement date selling loss. The guidance in the ASU is effective for all periods beginning after December 15, 2021 with early application permitted and may be applied either retrospectively or prospectively. The Company does not currently have any sales-type or direct financing leases as lessor. As a result, the implementation of this guidance did not have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01 Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) which modifies ASC 848, which was intended to provide relief related to “contracts and transactions that reference LIBOR or a reference rate that is expected to be discontinued as a result of reference rate reform.” ASU 2021-01 expands the scope of ASC 848 to include all affected derivatives and give reporting entities the ability to apply certain aspects of the contract modification and hedge accounting expedients to derivative contracts affected by the discounting transition. ASU 2021-01 also adds implementation guidance to clarify which optional expedients in ASC 848 may be applied to derivative instruments that do not reference LIBOR or a reference rate that is expected to be discontinued, but that are being modified as a result of the discounting transition. Currently, the Company does not anticipate the need to modify any existing debt agreements as a result of reference rate reform in the current year. If any modification is executed as a result of reference rate reform, the Company will elect the optional practical expedient under ASU 2020-04 and 2021-01, which allows entities to account for the modification as if the modification was not substantial. As a result, the implementation of this guidance is not expected to have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-01 Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) Fair Value Hedging—Portfolio Layer Method. The amendments in this Update allow non-prepayable financial assets also to be included in a closed portfolio hedged using the portfolio layer method. That expanded scope permits an entity to apply the same portfolio hedging method to both prepayable and non-prepayable financial assets, thereby allowing consistent accounting for similar hedges. The guidance in the ASU is effective for all periods beginning after December 15, 2022 with early application permitted and may be applied prospectively. The Company does not currently utilize the portfolio layer method. As a result, the implementation of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02 Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326) Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. Rather than applying the recognition and measurement guidance for Troubled Debt Restructurings ("TDRs"), an entity must apply the loan refinancing and restructuring guidance in ASC 310-20-35-9 through 35-11 to determine whether a modification results in a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan. In addition, this Update requires that an entity disclose current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses—Measured at Amortized Cost. The guidance in the ASU is effective for all periods beginning after December 15, 2022 with early application permitted and may be applied prospectively. The Company does not currently have any financial instruments that meet the definition of a TDR. As a result, the implementation of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
