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, (the “Trust”, collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”), a Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”), is a fully-integrated equity real estate investment trust 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 its operations are conducted through, Acadia Realty Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) and entities in which the Operating Partnership owns an interest. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Trust controlled approximately 96% of the Operating Partnership as the sole general partner and is entitled to share in the cash distributions and profits and losses of the Operating Partnership in proportion to its percentage interest. The limited partners primarily consist of entities or individuals that contributed 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”), as well as employees who have been granted restricted Common OP Units (“LTIP Units”) as long-term incentive compensation (Note 13). Limited partners holding Common OP and LTIP Units generally have the right 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.” The Company owns and operates a high-quality core real estate portfolio, primarily comprised of open-air street retail assets in the nation’s most dynamic retail corridors (“REIT Portfolio”). This portfolio is complemented by an investment management platform that leverages institutional capital relationships to pursue opportunistic, high-yield, and/or value-add investments (“Investment Management”). As of September 30, 2025, the Company held ownership interests in 167 properties (including properties in various stages of development and redevelopment) within its REIT Portfolio, which includes properties either wholly owned or partially owned through joint ventures by the Operating Partnership or subsidiaries, excluding properties owned through the Investment Management platform. The Company also held ownership interests in 51 properties through its Investment Management platform, which facilitates investments in primarily opportunistic and value-add retail real estate alongside institutional partners. Active investments are held through the following opportunity funds, including: 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 Company consolidates the Funds as variable interest entities (“VIE”) as it is the primary beneficiary, having (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the Funds’ economic performance, (ii) the obligation to absorb the Funds’ losses, and (iii) the right to receive benefits from the Funds that could potentially be significant. The Operating Partnership serves as the sole general partner or managing member of the Funds and earns fees or priority distributions for asset management, property management, construction, development, leasing, and legal services. Cash flows from the Funds are distributed pro-rata to partners and members (including the Operating Partnership) until each receives a cumulative preferred return (“Preferred Return”) and full return of capital. Thereafter, remaining cash flows are distributed 20% to the Operating Partnership (“Promote”) and 80% to the partners or members (including the Operating Partnership). All intercompany transactions between the Funds and the Operating Partnership are eliminated in consolidation. The following table summarizes the general terms and Operating Partnership’s equity interests in the Funds (dollars in millions):
Entity |  | Formation Date |  | Operating Partnership Share of Capital |  |  | Capital Called as of September 30, 2025 (a) |  |  | Unfunded Commitment (a) |  |  | Equity Interest Held By Operating Partnership (b) |  |  | Preferred Return |  |  | Total Distributions as of September 30, 2025 (a) |
Fund II (c) |  | 6/2004 |  |  | 80.00 | % |  | $ | 559.4 |  |  | $ | 0.0 |  |  |  | 80.00 | % |  |  | 8 | % |  | $ | 172.9 |
Fund III |  | 5/2007 |  |  | 24.54 | % |  |  | 449.2 |  |  |  | 0.8 |  |  |  | 39.63 | % |  |  | 6 | % |  |  | 616.3 |
Fund IV |  | 5/2012 |  |  | 23.12 | % |  |  | 506.0 |  |  |  | 24.0 |  |  |  | 23.12 | % |  |  | 6 | % |  |  | 221.4 |
Fund V |  | 8/2016 |  |  | 20.10 | % |  |  | 485.8 |  |  |  | 34.2 |  |  |  | 20.10 | % |  |  | 6 | % |  |  | 169.8 |
(a) Represents the total for the Funds, including the Operating Partnership and noncontrolling interests’ share. All returns and distributions referenced are presented net of fees and promote. (b) Amount represents the current economic ownership as of September 30, 2025, which could differ from the stated legal ownership based upon the cumulative preferred returns of the respective Fund. (c) In the third quarter of 2025, two Fund II investors exercised their put rights, and the Company acquired the investors’ 18.33% interest for approximately $54.4 million (Note 10) increasing its ownership in Fund II from 61.67% to 80%. Also within Investment Management, we hold equity method investments in three unconsolidated co-investment vehicles with large institutional investors. Our equity ownership interests range from 5% to 20% in each venture. These investments are individually negotiated and may result in varying economic terms. In addition to these unconsolidated co-investments, as of September 30, 2025, we also own two assets within the Investment Management platform, that we intend to recapitalize with an institutional investor as part of our Investment Management strategy. Any potential recapitalization remains subject to final agreement between the parties, customary closing conditions, and market uncertainty. Thus, no assurances can be given that the Company will successfully close on a recapitalization. The 218 REIT Portfolio and Investment Management properties primarily consist of street and urban retail properties, and suburban shopping centers. 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 for complete annual financial statements. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been included. These adjustments are of normal recurring nature. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. The most significant assumptions and estimates include those related to the valuation of real estate, depreciable lives, revenue recognition and the collectability of notes receivable and rents receivable. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2024 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Segments During the third quarter of 2025, the Company renamed its historical Core Portfolio segment as the REIT Portfolio segment. No prior period information was recast and the designation change did not impact the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 12. We define our reportable segments based on the manner in which our chief operating decision maker makes key operating decisions, evaluates financial performance, allocates resources and manages our business. This approach aligns with our internal reporting structure and reflects the economic characteristics and nature of our operations. Accordingly, we have identified three reportable operating segments: REIT Portfolio, Investment Management and Structured Financing. Refer to Note 12 for additional segment information. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In August 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU 2023-05, “Business Combinations - Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement” (“ASU 2023-05”). ASU 2023-05 addresses the accounting for contributions made to a joint venture, upon formation, in a joint venture’s separate financial statements. Prior to the amendment, the FASB did not provide specific authoritative guidance on the initial measurement of assets and liabilities assumed by a joint venture upon its formation. ASU 2023-05 requires a joint venture to recognize and initially measure its assets and liabilities at fair value (with exceptions to fair value measurement that are consistent with the business combinations guidance). ASU 2023-05 is effective for all joint venture formations with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”), to expand the disclosure requirements for income taxes, specifically related to the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance; however, it does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. On November 4, 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (“ASU 2024-03”) which requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities (PBEs). Additionally, in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03. The ASU does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the income statement; rather, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. This guidance applies to all PBEs and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company has elected not to early adopt and the requirements will be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. The Company is currently evaluating the expected impact of the adoption of this ASU on disclosures within the consolidated financial statements. On May 12, 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03, “Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity” (“ASU 2025-03”), which clarifies that when a business that is a variable interest entity (VIE) is acquired primarily with equity interests, the determination of the accounting acquirer should follow ASC 805 rather than defaulting to the primary beneficiary under ASC 810. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has elected not to early adopt and the requirements will be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. The Company is currently evaluating the expected impact of the adoption of this ASU on the consolidated financial statements. 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.
