Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization	Note 1 — Organization New York REIT Liquidating LLC (the “Company”) was formed on November 7, 2018 and is the successor entity to New York REIT, Inc., (the “Predecessor”). The Predecessor was incorporated on October 6, 2009 as a Maryland corporation that qualified as a real estate investment trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes (“REIT”) beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 2010. On April 15, 2014, the Predecessor listed its common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “NYRT” (the “Listing”). The sole purpose of the Company is to wind up the Company’s affairs and the liquidation of the Company’s assets with no objective to continue or to engage in the conduct of a trade or business, except as necessary for the orderly liquidation of the Company’s assets. Substantially all of the Predecessor’s business was conducted through its operating partnership, New York Recovery Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “OP”). On August 22, 2016, the Predecessor’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a plan of liquidation to sell in an orderly manner all or substantially all of the assets of the Predecessor and its OP and to liquidate and dissolve the Predecessor and the OP (the “Liquidation Plan”), subject to stockholder approval (see Note 2). The Liquidation Plan was approved at a special meeting of stockholders on January 3, 2017. All of the assets held by the OP have been sold and the OP was dissolved prior to the conversion on November 7, 2018. As of March 31, 2021, the Company’s only significant assets are a 50.1% equity interest in WWP Holdings LLC (“WWP”), which owns one property, known as Worldwide Plaza, aggregating 2.0 million rentable square feet, with an average occupancy of 97.2%, and a $90.7 million cash reserve to be utilized for improvements at the property owned by WWP. The property at March 31, 2021 consisted of office space, retail space and a garage representing 88%, 5% and 7%, respectively, of rentable square feet as of March 31, 2021. The Company has no employees. Since March 8, 2017, all advisory duties are administered by Winthrop REIT Advisors, LLC (the “Winthrop Advisor”).

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Liquidation Plan	Note 2 – Liquidation Plan The Liquidation Plan provides for an orderly sale of the Company’s assets, payment of the Company’s liabilities and other obligations and the winding down of operations and dissolution of the Company. The Predecessor was not, and the Company is not, permitted to make any new investments except to make protective acquisitions or advances with respect to its existing assets (see Note 6). The Company is permitted to satisfy any existing contractual obligations and fund required tenant improvements and capital expenditures at its real estate property owned by the joint venture in which the Company owns an interest. The Liquidation Plan enables the Company to sell any and all of its assets without further approval of the unitholders and provides that liquidating distributions be made to the unitholders as determined by the Company’s board of managers (the “Board of Managers”). In order to comply with applicable laws, the Predecessor converted into the Company, a limited liability company. The conversion of the Predecessor to a limited liability company was approved by the stockholders on September 7, 2018 and became effective on November 7, 2018. In October 2018, the Predecessor announced the withdrawal of its common stock from listing on the NYSE in connection with the conversion. November 2, 2018 was the last day on which shares of common stock were traded on the NYSE and the stock transfer books were closed as of 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on such date. At the effective time of the conversion, each outstanding share of common stock was converted into one unit of common membership interest in the limited liability company (a “Unit”), and holders of shares of common stock automatically received one Unit (which Unit was in book entry form) for each share of our common stock held by such stockholder. Holders of Units should note that unlike shares of common stock, which, in addition to being listed on the NYSE, were freely transferable, Units are not listed for trading and generally are not transferable except by will, intestate succession or operation of law. Therefore, the recipients of Units will not have the ability to realize any value from these interests except from distributions made by the Company, the timing of which will be solely in the discretion of the Board of Managers. On October 26, 2018, the Board of Directors designated Randolph C. Read, P. Sue Perrotty, Craig T. Bouchard, Howard Goldberg and Joe C. McKinney, representing all the previous members of the Board of Directors, to serve as the initial members of the Board of Managers. On June 29, 2020, Joe C. McKinney and P. Sue Perrotty each resigned from the Board of Managers, effective July 29, 2020. Additionally, Joseph Moinian, the Company’s largest unitholder, was added as a board observer (“Observer”) to the Company’s Board of Managers effective June 30, 2020 in an unpaid position with no voting rights in connection with Board matters. The Company is deemed to be the same entity as the Predecessor with the same assets and liabilities as the Predecessor. In addition, the charter and bylaws of the Predecessor were replaced by the operating agreement of the Company. The business of the Company is the same as the business of the Predecessor immediately preceding the conversion, which, consistent with the Liquidation Plan, consists of the continued ownership of the Predecessor’s interest in Worldwide Plaza, the only remaining property-related asset. Under its operating agreement, the business and affairs of the Company will be managed by or under the direction of its Board of Managers, and the sole purpose is winding up the affairs of the Company and the liquidation of its remaining property-related asset. The Company will remain in existence until the earlier of (i) the distribution of all its assets pursuant to liquidation or (ii) November 7, 2022 which is four years from the effective time of the conversion. The term may be extended to such later date as the Board of Managers determines is reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes of the Company. The dissolution process and the amount and timing of future distributions to unitholders involves risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, it is not possible to predict the timing or aggregate amount which will be ultimately distributed to unitholders and no assurance can be given that the distributions will equal or exceed the estimate of net assets presented in the Consolidated Statement of Net Assets.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Rent collections for retail and amenities tenants at Worldwide Plaza were impacted by the COVID-19 COVID-19 of the office rents that are due at Worldwide Plaza. With respect to the retail and amenities tenants of the property, approximately million of base rents have not been paid as of March 31, 2021 as those tenants are seeking rent concessions for the time period during which they were required to be closed as a result of the COVID-19 WWP does not plan to forgo any of its contractual rights under its lease agreements in connection with any relief requests. As of the date of this filing, WWP has forgiven approximately $107,000 of base rents. To date, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has not been material to the Company, however, it is not possible to estimate the future impact of the pandemic at this time. Liquidation Basis of Accounting As a result of the approval of the Liquidation Plan by the stockholders, the Company adopted the liquidation basis of accounting as of January 1, 2017 and for the periods subsequent to December 31, 2016 in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, on January 1, 2017, the carrying value of the Company’s assets were adjusted to their liquidation value, which represented the estimated amount of cash that the Company expected to collect on disposal of assets as it carried out its liquidation activities under the Liquidation Plan. All properties have been sold except for the remaining interest in Worldwide Plaza. For purposes of liquidation accounting, the Company’s estimate of net assets in liquidation assumes a sale of Worldwide Plaza at March 31, 2022. The actual timing of sale has not yet been determined and is subject to future events and uncertainties. These estimates are subject to change based on the actual timing of the sale of the Company’s remaining property. Liabilities are carried at their contractual amounts due as adjusted for the timing and other assumptions related to the liquidation process. The Company accrues costs and revenues that it expects to incur and earn as it carries out its liquidation activities through the end of the projected liquidation period, which ends on March 31, 2022, to the extent it has a reasonable basis for estimation. Estimated costs expected to be incurred through the end of the liquidation period include corporate overhead costs associated with satisfying known and contingent liabilities and other costs associated with the winding down and dissolution of the Company. Revenues are based on current interest rate assumptions. These amounts are classified as a net liability for estimated costs in excess of estimated receipts during liquidation on the Consolidated Statements of Net Assets. Actual costs and revenues may differ from amounts reflected in the consolidated financial statements due to the inherent uncertainty in estimating future events. These differences may be material. See Note 4 for further discussion. Actual costs incurred but unpaid as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Net Assets. Use of Estimates Certain of the Company’s accounting estimates are particularly important for an understanding of the Company’s financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by management. As a result, these estimates are subject to a degree of uncertainty. Under liquidation accounting, the Company is required to estimate all costs and revenue it expects to incur and earn through the end of liquidation including the estimated amount of cash it expects to collect on the disposal of its assets and the estimated costs to dispose of its assets. All of the estimates and evaluations are susceptible to change and actual results could differ materially from the estimates and evaluations. Revenue Recognition Under the liquidation basis of accounting, the Company accrues all revenue that it expects to earn through the end of liquidation to the extent it has a reasonable basis for estimation. The Company has no revenues other than interest income. These amounts are classified within liability for estimated costs in excess of estimated receipts during liquidation on the Consolidated Statements of Net Assets. Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Venture The Company accounts for its investment in unconsolidated joint venture under the equity method of accounting because the Company exercises significant influence over but does not control the entity and is not considered to be the primary beneficiary. The investment in unconsolidated joint venture is recorded at its liquidation value, or net realizable value, which is comprised of an estimate of the expected sale proceeds upon disposition plus the estimated net cash flow from the venture during the liquidation period. The Company evaluates the net realizable value of its unconsolidated joint venture at each reporting period. Any changes in net realizable value will be reflected as a change in the Company’s net assets in liquidation. The liquidation value of the Company’s remaining investment in Worldwide Plaza as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 is based on estimated cash flow projections utilizing appropriate discount and capitalization rates as well as available market information and assumptions regarding capital expenditures.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Restricted Cash At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, restricted Recent Accounting Pronouncements There are no new accounting pronouncements that are applicable or relevant to the Company under the liquidation basis of accounting.

Liability for Estimated Costs in Excess of Estimated Receipts During Liquidation	Note 4 - Liability for Estimated Costs in Excess of Estimated Receipts During Liquidation The liquidation basis of accounting requires the Company to estimate net cash flows from operations and to accrue all costs associated with implementing and completing the plan of liquidation. The Company currently estimates that it will have costs in excess of estimated receipts during the liquidation. These amounts can vary significantly due to, among other things, the timing and estimates for operating expenses, interest earned on reserves and the costs associated with the winding down of operations. These costs are estimated and are anticipated to be paid out over the liquidation period. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had accrued the following net expenses expected to be incurred during liquidation (in thousands): March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 General and administrative expenses $ 2,548 $ 2,342 Liability for estimated costs in excess of estimated receipts during liquidation $ 2,548 $ 2,342 The change in the liability for estimated costs in excess of estimated receipts during liquidation for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 are as follows (in thousands): January 1, 2021 Net Change Remeasurement March 31, 2021 Liabilities: General and administrative expenses $ (2,342 ) $ 506 $ (712 ) $ (2,548 ) Total liability for estimated costs in excess of estimated receipts during liquidation $ (2,342 ) $ 506 $ (712 ) $ (2,548 ) January 1, 2020 Net Change Remeasurement March 31, 2020 Liabilities: General and administrative expenses $ (2,348 ) $ 682 $ (961 ) $ (2,627 ) Total liability for estimated costs in excess of estimated receipts during liquidation $ (2,348 ) $ 682 $ (961 ) $ (2,627 ) (1) Represents changes in cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses as a result of the Company’s operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

Net Assets in Liquidation	Note 5 – Net Assets in Liquidation Net assets in liquidation decreased by $1.7 million during the three months ended March 31 , 2021 primarily due to a liquidating distribution to unitholders of $3.0 million and a $0.7 million decrease due to a remeasurement of estimated costs.

Net assets in liquidation increased by $2.9 million during the three months ended March 31 , 2020 primarily due to a net increase of $5.6 million in the estimated liquidation value of the Company’s investment in Worldwide Plaza related to the estimated distributions from working capital and property operations. The increase was offset in part by a liquidating distribution to unitholders of $1.7 million and a $1.0 million decrease due to a remeasurement of estimated costs. The net assets in liquidation at March 31, 2021, presented on an undiscounted basis, include the Company’s proportionate share in Worldwide Plaza’s net assets which include a property value of $1.65 billion based on estimated cash flow projections utilizing appropriate discount and capitalization rates as well as available market information and assumptions regarding capital expenditures. There were 16,791,769 Units outstanding at March 31 , 2021 .

Liquidation Basis of Accounting	Liquidation Basis of Accounting As a result of the approval of the Liquidation Plan by the stockholders, the Company adopted the liquidation basis of accounting as of January 1, 2017 and for the periods subsequent to December 31, 2016 in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, on January 1, 2017, the carrying value of the Company’s assets were adjusted to their liquidation value, which represented the estimated amount of cash that the Company expected to collect on disposal of assets as it carried out its liquidation activities under the Liquidation Plan. All properties have been sold except for the remaining interest in Worldwide Plaza. For purposes of liquidation accounting, the Company’s estimate of net assets in liquidation assumes a sale of Worldwide Plaza at March 31, 2022. The actual timing of sale has not yet been determined and is subject to future events and uncertainties. These estimates are subject to change based on the actual timing of the sale of the Company’s remaining property. Liabilities are carried at their contractual amounts due as adjusted for the timing and other assumptions related to the liquidation process. The Company accrues costs and revenues that it expects to incur and earn as it carries out its liquidation activities through the end of the projected liquidation period, which ends on March 31, 2022, to the extent it has a reasonable basis for estimation. Estimated costs expected to be incurred through the end of the liquidation period include corporate overhead costs associated with satisfying known and contingent liabilities and other costs associated with the winding down and dissolution of the Company. Revenues are based on current interest rate assumptions. These amounts are classified as a net liability for estimated costs in excess of estimated receipts during liquidation on the Consolidated Statements of Net Assets. Actual costs and revenues may differ from amounts reflected in the consolidated financial statements due to the inherent uncertainty in estimating future events. These differences may be material. See Note 4 for further discussion. Actual costs incurred but unpaid as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Net Assets.

Under liquidation accounting, the Company is required to estimate all costs and revenue it expects to incur and earn through the end of liquidation including the estimated amount of cash it expects to collect on the disposal of its assets and the estimated costs to dispose of its assets. All of the estimates and evaluations are susceptible to change and actual results could differ materially from the estimates and evaluations.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Under the liquidation basis of accounting, the Company accrues all revenue that it expects to earn through the end of liquidation to the extent it has a reasonable basis for estimation. The Company has no revenues other than interest income. These amounts are classified within liability for estimated costs in excess of estimated receipts during liquidation on the Consolidated Statements of Net Assets.

The Company evaluates the net realizable value of its unconsolidated joint
