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 Acadia Realty Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries, 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 September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company controlled approximately 95% 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 September 30, 2023, the Company has ownership interests in 149 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 201 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 II, LLC (“Mervyns II”), all on a non-recourse basis. 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 September 30, 2023 (b) |  |  | Unfunded Commitment (b, c) |  |  | Equity Interest Held By Operating Partnership (a) |  |  | Preferred Return |  |  | Total Distributions as of September 30, 2023 (b, c) |
Fund II and Mervyns II (c,d) |  | 6/2004 |  |  | 61.67 | % |  | $ | 559.4 |  |  | $ | 0.0 |  |  |  | 61.67 | % |  |  | 8 | % |  | $ | 172.9 |
Fund III |  | 5/2007 |  |  | 24.54 | % |  |  | 448.1 |  |  |  | 1.9 |  |  |  | 24.54 | % |  |  | 6 | % |  |  | 603.5 |
Fund IV |  | 5/2012 |  |  | 23.12 | % |  |  | 488.1 |  |  |  | 41.9 |  |  |  | 23.12 | % |  |  | 6 | % |  |  | 221.4 |
Fund V |  | 8/2016 |  |  | 20.10 | % |  |  | 387.0 |  |  |  | 133.0 |  |  |  | 20.10 | % |  |  | 6 | % |  |  | 103.3 |
(a) Amount represents the current economic ownership at September 30, 2023, 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 the second quarter of 2022, the Company increased its ownership in Fund II and Mervyns II through an acquisition of its partner's interest by 11.67%, from 28.33% to 40.00%, for $18.5 million. Additionally, during the third quarter of 2022, the Company increased its ownership in Fund II through an acquisition of a partner's interest by 21.67%, from 40.00% to 61.67%, for $5.8 million. Each of the remaining partners in Fund II have a right to put their equity interests to the Company which began in August 2023. As the Company retained its controlling interest, these additional investments were accounted for as equity transactions (Note 10). (d) During 2022, Mervyns II recalled $3.8 million of the $15.7 million recallable distribution, of which the Company's share is $1.2 million. In January 2023, following the expiration of the lock-up period, Mervyns II distributed the 2.5 million shares of its investment in Albertsons to its partners; the Company received 1.6 million shares (Note 4, Note 8). Basis of Presentation The interim condensed 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 condensed consolidated financial statements reflects all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the aforementioned condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim periods. Such adjustments consisted of normal recurring items. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2022 consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Segments At September 30, 2023, 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 condensed 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, including where the Company has been determined to be a primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity ("VIE"), 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. Use of Estimates GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the interim condensed 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. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In January 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope, which modifies ASC 848 Reference Rate Reform (”ASC 848”), which was intended to provide relief related to “contracts and transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or a reference rate that was discontinued effective June 30, 2023 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, Reference Rate Reform (ASC 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, 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. The Company has elected 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 did not have an effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06 Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848. The guidance in this update defers the sunset date of ASC 848 from December 31, 2022, to December 31, 2024, after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the relief in Topic 848. The amendments are effective for all entities in scope upon issuance of the ASU. The Company has transitioned all variable rate loans to SOFR or another applicable benchmark index and will apply the relief based Topic 848 in line with the sunset date. Any other recently issued accounting standards or pronouncements not disclosed above have been excluded as they are not relevant to the Company, or they are not expected to have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
