Real Estate [Abstract]

Schedule of Acquisitions

Below is a summary of our acquisitions for the nine months ended September 30, 2023:

	Number of Properties	Leasable Square Feet (in thousands)	Investment ($ in millions)		Weighted Average Lease Term (Years)	Initial Weighted Average Cash Lease Yield (1)
Acquisitions - U.S.	802	14,730	$	3,708.9	15.9	6.9	%
Acquisitions - Europe	80	8,608	2,191.6		15.6	7.1	%
Total acquisitions	882	23,338	$	5,900.5	15.8	7.0	%
Properties under development (2)	305	7,269	910.0		16.2	6.7	%
Total (3)	1,187	30,607	$	6,810.5	15.8	6.9	%

(1)The initial weighted 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 (defined as the monthly aggregate cash amount charged to clients, inclusive of monthly base rent receivables), 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 weighted average cash lease yield includes approximately $3.7 million received as settlement credits as reimbursement of free rent periods for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

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)Includes £32.6 million of investments in four U.K. development properties and €25.9 million of investment in two Spain development properties, converted at the applicable exchange rates on the funding dates.

(3)Our clients occupying the new properties are 89.7% retail, 10.0% industrial, and 0.3% other property types based on annualized contractual rent. Approximately 25% of the annualized contractual rent generated from acquisitions during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 is from investment grade rated clients, their subsidiaries, or affiliated companies.
