Real Estate [Abstract]

Schedule of acquisitions

Below is a summary of our acquisitions for the six months ended June 30, 2022:

	Number of Properties	Leasable Square Feet (in thousands)	Investment ($ in millions)		Weighted Average Lease Term (Years)	Initial Weighted Average Cash Lease Yield (1)
Six months ended June 30, 2022 (2)
Acquisitions - U.S.	289	5,551	$	1,492.0	13.9	5.7	%
Acquisitions - Europe	51	5,391	1,471.2		9.0	5.6	%
Total acquisitions	340	10,942	$	2,963.2	11.5	5.7	%
Properties under development (3)	83	2,721	267.9		15.9	5.7	%
Total (4)	423	13,663	$	3,231.1	11.9	5.7	%

(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 $6.8 million received as settlement credits as reimbursement of free rent periods for the six months ended June 30, 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 six months ended June 30, 2022, caused any one client to be 10% or more of our total assets at June 30, 2022.

(3)Includes two U.K. development properties that represent an investment of £14.9 million Sterling during the six months ended June 30, 2022, converted at the applicable exchange rate on the funding date.

(4)Our clients occupying the new properties are 87.4% retail and 12.6% industrial, based on rental revenue. Approximately 33% of the rental revenue generated from acquisitions during the six months ended June 30, 2022, is 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 June 30, 2022 (in thousands):

	Ownership % (1)		Number of Properties	Carrying Amount of Investment as of (2)				Equity in income and impairment of investment in unconsolidated entities for the six months ended(2)(3)
Investment	June 30, 2022			June 30, 2022		December 31, 2021		June 30, 2022		June 30, 2021
Industrial Partnerships	20	%	7	$	113,562	$	140,967	$	(5,673)	$	—

(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 $74.1 million as of June 30, 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.

(3) As of June 30, 2022, the seven assets held by our Industrial Partnerships were under agreement of sale. As the portion of the net proceeds applied to our investment basis that we expect to receive at closing was less than our $121.4 million carrying amount of investment in unconsolidated entities, we recognized an other than temporary impairment of $7.8 million , which is included in 'Equity in income and impairment of investment in unconsolidated entities' in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.
