Equity [Abstract]  
Stockholders' Equity Stockholders’ Equity
As of December 31, 2023, we have issued 611,958,239 shares of common stock. In addition, we issue OP Units from time to time which, upon vesting, are redeemable for shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis or, in our sole discretion, cash and are reflected as non-controlling interests on our consolidated balance sheets and statements of equity. As of December 31, 2023, 1,869,483 outstanding OP Units are redeemable.
During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, we issued 546,857, 10,365,944, and 33,927,772 shares of common stock, respectively.
2021 Public Offering
During the year ended December 31, 2021, we completed an underwritten public offering of 14,375,000 shares of our common stock, including 1,875,000 shares sold pursuant to the underwriters’ full exercise of the option to purchase additional shares. This offering generated net proceeds of $571,201, after giving effect to commissions and other costs totaling $3,799.
At the Market Equity Program
On December 20, 2021, we entered into distribution agreements with a syndicate of banks (the “Agents” and the “Forward Sellers”), pursuant to which we may sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate sales price of $1,250,000 of our common stock through the Agents and the Forward Sellers (the “2021 ATM Equity Program”). In addition to the issuance of shares of our common stock, the distribution agreements permit us to enter into separate forward sale transactions with certain forward purchasers who may borrow shares from third parties and, through affiliated Forward Sellers, offer a number of shares of our common stock equal to the number of shares of our common stock underlying the particular forward transaction. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we sold 2,438,927 shares of our common stock under our 2021 ATM Equity Program, generating net proceeds of $98,367, after giving effect to Agent commissions and other costs totaling $1,633. We did not sell any shares of common stock under the 2021 ATM Equity Program during the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2021. As of December 31, 2023, $1,150,000 remains available for future offerings under the 2021 ATM Equity Program.
On August 22, 2019, we entered into distribution agreements with a syndicate of banks, pursuant to which we sold, from time to time, up to an aggregate sales price of $800,000 of our common stock (the “2019 ATM Equity Program”). During the year ended December 31, 2021, we sold 9,008,528 shares of our common stock under our 2019 ATM Equity Program, generating net proceeds of $362,589, after giving effect to agent commissions and other costs totaling $6,225. We terminated the 2019 ATM Equity Program immediately after entering into the 2021 ATM Equity Program.
Dividends
To qualify as a REIT, we are required to distribute annually to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, and to pay tax at regular corporate rates to the extent that we annually distribute less than 100% of our net taxable income. We intend to pay quarterly dividends to our stockholders that in the aggregate are approximately equal to or exceed our net taxable income in the relevant year. The timing, form, and amount of distributions, if any, to our stockholders, will be at the sole discretion of our board of directors.
