Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Organization | Organization Global Net Lease, Inc. (the "Company"), which incorporated on July 13, 2011, is a Maryland corporation that elected and qualified to be taxed as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") for United States ("U.S.") federal income tax purposes beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2013. The Company invests in commercial properties, with an emphasis on sale-leaseback transactions involving single tenant net-leased commercial properties. The Company was sponsored by an affiliate of AR Global Investments, LLC (the successor business to AR Capital LLC, "AR Global"). Affiliates of AR Global provide asset management services to the Company as described below. As of September 30, 2018, the Company owned 336 properties consisting of 26.2 million rentable square feet, which were 99.5% leased, with a weighted-average remaining lease term of 8.6 years. Based on the percentage of annualized rental income on a straight-line basis as of September 30, 2018, 52.9% of the Company's properties are located in the U.S. and 47.1% in Europe. The Company may also originate or acquire first mortgage loans, mezzanine loans, preferred equity or securitized loans (secured by real estate). As of September 30, 2018, the Company did not own any first mortgage loans, mezzanine loans, preferred equity or securitized loans. Substantially all of the Company's business is conducted through the Global Net Lease Operating Partnership, L.P. (the "OP"), a Delaware limited partnership. The Company has retained Global Net Lease Advisors, LLC (the "Advisor") to manage the Company's affairs on a day-to-day basis. The Company's properties are managed and leased by Global Net Lease Properties, LLC (the "Property Manager"). The Advisor, and the Property Manager are under common control with AR Global. These related parties receive compensation and fees for various services provided to the Company. Following the termination of Moor Park Capital Partners LLP (the "Former Service Provider"), effective as of March 17, 2018, the Advisor, together with its service providers, assumed full management responsibility of the Company’s European real estate portfolio. Prior to the termination of the Former Service Provider, the Former Service Provider provided, subject to the Advisor's oversight and pursuant to a service provider agreement (the “Service Provider Agreement”), certain real estate related services, as well as sourcing and structuring of investment opportunities, performance of due diligence, and arranging debt financing and equity investment syndicates, solely with respect to investments in Europe. Since the termination of the Former Service Provider, the Advisor has built a European-focused management team and engaged third-party service providers to assume certain duties previously performed by the Former Service Provider. See Note 9 - Commitments and Contingencies for further details.
