Real Estate [Abstract]

Schedule of acquisitions

Below is a summary of our acquisitions for the three months ended March 31, 2022:

	Number of Properties	Leasable Square Feet (in thousands)	Investment ($ in millions)		Weighted Average Lease Term (Years)	Initial Average Cash Lease Yield (1)
Three months ended March 31, 2022 (2)
Acquisitions - U.S.	139	2,627	$	629.8	15.0	5.7	%
Acquisitions - Europe	21	2,772	794.2		8.9	5.5	%
Total acquisitions	160	5,399	$	1,424.0	11.8	5.6	%
Properties under development (3)	53	1,868	131.3		17.3	5.7	%
Total (4)	213	7,267	$	1,555.3	12.3	5.6	%

(1)The initial average cash lease yield for a property is generally computed as estimated contractual first year cash net operating income, which, in the case of a net leased property, is equal to the aggregate cash base rent for the first full year of each lease, divided by the total cost of the property. Since it is possible that a client could default on the payment of contractual rent, we cannot provide assurance that the actual return on the funds invested will remain at the percentages listed above. Contractual net operating income used in the calculation of initial average cash yield includes approximately $4.3 million received as settlement credits for 16 properties as reimbursement of free rent periods for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

In the case of a property under development or expansion, the contractual lease rate is generally fixed such that rent varies based on the actual total investment in order to provide a fixed rate of return. When the lease does not provide for a fixed rate of return on a property under development or expansion, the initial weighted average cash lease yield is computed as follows: estimated cash net operating income (determined by the lease) for the first full year of each lease, divided by our projected total investment in the property, including land, construction and capitalized interest costs.

(2)None of our investments during the three months ended March 31, 2022, caused any one client to be 10% or more of our total assets at March 31, 2022.

(3)Includes one U.K. development property that represents an investment of £1.7 million Sterling during the three months ended March 31, 2022, converted at the applicable exchange rate on the funding date.

(4)Our clients occupying the new properties are 85.4% retail and 14.6% industrial, based on rental revenue. Approximately 26% of the rental revenue generated from acquisitions during the three months ended March 31, 2022, is from investment grade rated clients, their subsidiaries or affiliated companies.

	Number of Properties	Leasable Square Feet (in thousands)	Investment ($ in millions)		Weighted Average Lease Term (Years)	Initial Average Cash Lease Yield (1)

Acquisitions - U.S.	77	2,299	$	566.9	13.5	5.6	%
Acquisitions - Europe	12	933	403.0		10.6	4.9	%
Total acquisitions	89	3,232	$	969.9	12.4	5.3	%
Properties under development - U.S.	21	1,597	57.9		15.5	5.6	%
Total (2)	110	4,829	$	1,027.8	12.6	5.3	%

(1)None of our investments during the three months ended March 31, 2021, caused any one client to be 10% or more of our total assets at March 31, 2021.

(2) Our clients occupying the new properties are 65.1% retail and 34.9% industrial, based on rental revenue. Approximately 39% of the rental revenue generated from acquisitions during the three months ended March 31, 2021, was from investment grade rated clients, their subsidiaries or affiliated companies.

Schedule of investment in unconsolidated entities

The following is a summary of our investments in unconsolidated entities as of March 31, 2022 (in thousands):

	Ownership % (1)		Number of Properties	Carrying Amount of Investment as of (2)				Equity in Income (2)
Investment	March 31, 2022			March 31, 2022		March 31, 2021		March 31, 2022		March 31, 2021
Industrial Partnerships	20	%	7	$	141,191	$	140,967	$	954	$	—

(1) Our ownership interest reflects legal ownership interest. Legal ownership may, at times, not equal our economic interest in the listed properties because of various provisions in certain entity agreements regarding capital contributions, distributions of cash flow based on capital account balances, allocations of profits and losses and payments of preferred returns. As a result, our actual economic interest (as distinct from its legal ownership interest) in certain of the properties could fluctuate from time to time and may not wholly align with legal ownership interests.

(2) The total carrying amount of the investments was greater than the underlying equity in net assets by $100.4 million as of March 31, 2022. The difference relates to a step-up in fair value of the investment net assets acquired in connection with the merger with VEREIT on November 1, 2021. The step up in fair value was allocated to the individual investment assets and liabilities and is being amortized over the estimated useful life of the respective underlying tangible real estate assets, the lease term of the intangible real estate assets, and the remaining term of the mortgages payable. Prior to November 1, 2021, we did not own any unconsolidated entities.
