Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Organization	Note 1 — Organization
	American Realty Capital Properties, Inc. (the “Company” or “ARCP”) is a self-managed Maryland corporation incorporated on December 2, 2010 that qualified as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning in the taxable year ended December 31, 2011. On September 6, 2011, the Company completed its initial public offering (the “IPO”). The Company’s common stock trades on the NASDAQ Global Select Market (“NASDAQ”) under the symbol “ARCP.”
	The Company operates through two business segments, Real Estate Investment (“REI”) and private capital management, Cole Capital (“Cole Capital”), as further discussed in Note 6 — Segment Reporting (As Restated). Substantially all of the Company’s REI segment is conducted through ARC Properties Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “OP”). The Company is the sole general partner and holder of 97.3% of the common equity interests in the OP as of June 30, 2014. As of June 30, 2014, certain affiliates of the Company and certain unaffiliated investors are limited partners and owners of 1.7% and 1.0%, respectively, of the common equity interests in the OP. Under the limited partnership agreement of the OP (“LPA”), after holding units of limited partner interests in the OP (“OP Units”) for a period of one year, unless otherwise consented to by the Company, holders of OP Units have the right to redeem the OP Units for the cash value of a corresponding number of shares of the Company’s common stock or, at the option of the Company, a corresponding number of shares of the Company’s common stock. The remaining rights of the holders of OP Units are limited, however, and do not include the ability to replace the general partner or to approve the sale, purchase or refinancing of the OP’s assets. Substantially all of the Cole Capital segment is conducted through Cole Capital Advisors, Inc. (“CCA”), an Arizona corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the OP. CCA is treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) under Section 856 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”).
	Prior to January 8, 2014, ARC Properties Advisors, LLC (the “Former Manager”), a wholly owned subsidiary of AR Capital, LLC (“ARC”), managed the Company’s affairs on a day-to-day basis, with the exception of certain acquisition, accounting and portfolio management services performed by employees of the Company. In August 2013, the Company’s board of directors determined that it was in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to become self-managed, and the Company completed its transition to self-management on January 8, 2014. In connection with becoming self-managed, the Company terminated the management agreement with its Former Manager. See Note 20 — Related Party Transactions and Arrangements (As Restated) for further discussion.
	The Company has advanced its investment objectives by not only growing its net lease portfolio through granular, self-originated acquisitions, but also through strategic mergers and acquisitions. See Note 3 — Mergers and Acquisitions (As Restated) for further discussion.
	On June 11, 2014, the OP, through indirect subsidiaries (the “Sellers”), entered into an agreement of purchase and sale with BRE DDR Retail Holdings III LLC (the “Purchaser”), an entity indirectly jointly owned by affiliates of Blackstone Real Estate Partners VII L.P. and DDR Corp., by which the Sellers have agreed to sell to the Purchaser and the Purchaser has agreed to purchase from the Sellers 67 multi-tenant properties and nine single-tenant properties and the adjacent land and related property (the “Multi-Tenant Portfolio”). The purchase price of the Multi-Tenant Portfolio is $1.975 billion, subject to customary real estate adjustments. Properties may be excluded from the transaction in certain circumstances, in which case the purchase price will be reduced by the portion of the purchase price allocated to the excluded properties. See Note 3 — Mergers and Acquisitions (As Restated) for further discussion.

Restatement_of_Previously_Issu

Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements	6 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2014
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements	Note 2 — Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements
	The Company has restated its consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and its consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. In addition, the Company has restated its consolidated statements of changes in equity and consolidated statements of cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, along with certain related notes to such restated consolidated financial statements. In addition, the December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013 balance sheets, as disclosed in Note 3 — Mergers and Acquisitions (As Restated), have also been recast in applying the carryover basis of accounting to include the effects of the merger with American Realty Capital Trust IV, Inc. (“ARCT IV”).
	The Company determined that the restatement was necessary after an investigation was conducted by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) with the assistance of independent counsel and forensic accountants. The Audit Committee initiated the investigation in response to concerns regarding accounting practices and other matters that were first reported to it on September 7, 2014. The restatement corrects errors that were identified as a result of the investigation, as well as certain other errors that were identified by the Company. In addition, the restatement reflects corrections of certain immaterial errors and certain previously identified errors that were identified by the Company in the normal course of business and were determined to be immaterial, both individually and in the aggregate, when the consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 were originally issued. In connection with the restatement, the Company has determined that it would be appropriate to correct such errors.
	Year ended December 31, 2013 Error Corrections
	Corrections to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 are disclosed within Amendment No. 2 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2013 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) (the “Amended 10-K”). The corrections reported in the Amended 10-K relate primarily to bonus accruals, real estate impairments, goodwill, merger and acquisition related expenses, transfer tax accrual and the accounting and reporting of non-controlling interests.
	Three Months Ended and Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 Error Corrections
	Merger and Other Non-routine Transaction Related
	In light of findings of the investigation conducted by the Audit Committee, the Company performed an internal review of all acquisition, merger and other non-routine transaction related expenses. The work resulted in the identification of the following errors:
		•		The Company identified $13.0 million of management fees that were improperly classified as merger and other non-routine transaction related expenses. Such amounts have been properly classified as management fees to affiliates for the six months ended June 30, 2013. No such expenses were identified in the three months ended June 30, 2013.
		•		Upon consummation of the ARCT III Merger (as defined in Note 3 — Mergers and Acquisitions (As Restated)), the OP entered into an agreement with an affiliate to acquire certain furniture, fixtures, equipment (“FF&E”) and other assets. The Company originally capitalized $4.1 million of FF&E costs and expensed $1.7 million of costs during the six months ended June 30, 2013. The Company has concluded that there was no evidence of the receipt and it could not support the value of the FF&E. As such, the Company has expensed the amount originally capitalized and recognized the expense in merger and other non-routine transaction related expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013. No such expenses were identified in the three months ended June 30, 2013. See Note 20 — Related Party Transactions and Arrangements (As Restated) for further discussion.
		•		The Company has determined that it should have recorded a controlling interest transfer tax liability totaling $1.1 million upon consummation of the ARCT III Merger (each, as defined in Note 3 — Merger and Acquisitions (As Restated)). The accrual and corresponding merger and other non-routine transaction related expense are recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2013. No such expenses were identified in the three months ended June 30, 2013.
		•		The Company identified $1.0 million of costs during the six months ended June 30, 2013 that were improperly classified as merger and other non-routine transaction related expenses that should have been capitalized as deferred financing costs and amortized accordingly. As such, an adjustment to properly record and amortize the deferred financing costs has been made for the six months ended June 30, 2013. As a result of capitalizing these deferred financing costs, additional interest expense of $0.6 million was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2013. No such expenses were identified in the three months ended June 30, 2013.
		•		During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company improperly classified $0.4 million and $5.9 million, respectively, as “merger-related.” As restated, the amounts have been reclassified from merger and other non-routine transaction related expenses to general and administrative expenses.
		•		The Company identified a net amount of $87,000 of merger and other non-routine transaction related expenses that were improperly recorded in each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. As such, the Company properly decreased merger and other non-routine transaction related expense by this amount in the period.
	The Company has updated the caption from “merger and other transaction related” to “merger and other non-routine transactions” to appropriately include non-recurring costs that may not have been incurred solely for a merger transaction. See Note 4 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (As Restated) for a further breakout of the merger costs and other non-routine transactions.
	In addition, the Company has included $3.5 million and $4.3 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, in equity-based compensation that was previously reported on a separate line item, within general and administrative expenses.
	Operating Fees to Affiliate
	The Company identified $0.5 million of operating fees to affiliate was incorrectly recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2013. Therefore, the Company decreased operating fees to affiliate by this amount. No such expenses were identified in the three months ended June 30, 2013.
	This line item caption has been updated to “management fees to affiliates” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
	Net Loss Attributable to Non-controlling Interests
	The original calculation of the net loss attributable to non-controlling interest holders for the six months ended June 30, 2013 excluded expenses that were improperly recorded at the Company level. These expenses were incurred by the OP, and therefore should have been included in the Company’s determination of the net loss attributable to its non-controlling interest holders. In addition, the net loss attributable to the non-controlling interest holders has been adjusted to reflect the impact of the cumulative restatement adjustments discussed and presented herein. As a result, the Company recorded an adjustment of $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 for net loss attributable to non-controlling interest holders.
	Three Months Ended and Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 Error Corrections
	Merger and Other Non-routine Transaction Related
	In light of the findings of the investigation conducted by the Audit Committee, the Company performed an internal review of all acquisition, merger and other non-routine transaction related expenses. The work resulted in the identification of the following errors:
		•		The Company identified a net amount of $16.1 million of merger and other non-routine transaction related expenses that were improperly recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2014. Of this amount, a net amount of $14.5 million has been properly recorded in the year ended December 31, 2013 and a net amount of $1.6 million has been properly recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2014. Additional expenses of $1.2 million were identified and recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2014. These adjustments resulted in a net decrease in merger and other non-routine transaction related expenses of $13.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014.
		•		Upon consummation of the ARCT IV Merger (as defined in Note 3 — Mergers and Acquisitions (As Restated)), the OP entered into an agreement with an affiliate to acquire certain furniture, fixtures, equipment (“FF&E”) and other assets. The Company originally capitalized $2.1 million of FF&E costs during the six months ended June 30, 2014. The Company has concluded that there was no evidence of the receipt and it could not support the value of the FF&E. As such, the Company has expensed the amount originally capitalized and recognized the expense in merger and other non-routine transaction related expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014. No such expenses were identified in the three months ended June 30, 2014. See Note 20 — Related Party Transactions and Arrangements for further discussion.
		•		The Company identified $0.8 million and $21.3 million of costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, that were improperly classified as merger and other non-routine transaction related expense that should have been capitalized as deferred financing costs and amortized accordingly. As such, an adjustment to properly record and amortize the deferred financing costs has been made for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. As a result of capitalizing these deferred financing costs, additional interest expense of $1.3 million and $10.0 million and extinguishment of debt expense of $0.9 million and $3.2 million was recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.
		•		The Company identified $1.4 million of merger and other non-routine transaction related expenses that should have been classified as loss on disposition of properties. Such amount has been properly classified for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.
		•		The Company improperly classified $5.2 million and $14.5 million of expenses in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, as merger related. However, the Company has determined that such amounts should have been accounted for as general and administrative expenses for the respective periods.
		•		The Company identified $13.8 million of management fees that were improperly classified as merger and other non-routine transaction related expenses. Such amounts have been properly classified as management fees to affiliates for the six months ended June 30, 2014. No such expenses were identified in the three months ended June 30, 2014.
		•		Upon consummation of the ARCT III Merger and CapLease Merger (each, as defined in Note 3 – Merger and Acquisitions (As Restated)) in 2013, the Company did not properly accrue a controlling interest transfer tax liability for each respective merger. As such, the Company properly recorded an estimated $8.9 million as of December 31, 2013. The Company considered its existing accrual amount for such liabilities, in determining the liability amounts for the ARCT IV and Cole mergers that were consummated, noting that it had over accrued for such liabilities, and as a result recorded too much expense. Therefore, the Company properly reduced the expense recorded in the period by recording $4.0 million less expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014. No such expenses were identified in the three months ended June 30, 2014.
		•		The Company improperly classified $0.7 million as merger and other non-routine transaction expenses that should have been classified as acquisition related expenses. Such amount has been properly classified for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.
	The Company has updated the caption from “merger and other transaction related” to “merger and other non-routine transactions” to appropriately include non-recurring costs that may not have been incurred solely for a merger transaction. See Note 4 —Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (As Restated) for a further breakout of the merger costs and non-routine transactions.
	Acquisition-Related
	The Company identified $0.5 million of general and administrative salary expense had been improperly recorded as acquisition related expense in the three months ended June 30, 2014. Additionally, the Company identified $1.0 million of acquisition related salary expense had been improperly recorded as general and administrative expense in the three months ended March 30, 2014 resulting in a net understatement of acquisition related expenses of $0.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014. As such, the Company properly recorded the expense in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.
	The Company identified $1.8 million of acquisition related expense had been recorded twice in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. As such, the company properly adjusted the acquisition related expense and corresponding cash account.
	General and Administrative
	The Company’s estimate of annual bonuses of $5.8 million should have been accrued for and expensed as of and for the period ended June 30, 2014, in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy of accruing estimated bonuses throughout the year. As such, the Company recorded the bonus accrual and corresponding general and administrative expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.
	The Company identified $0.9 million and $2.5 million of general and administrative expenses that were recorded in the incorrect period. As such, the Company recorded these amounts as additional expense in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.
	Equity-based Compensation
	The investigation found that equity awards made to Nicholas S. Schorsch and Brian S. Block in connection with the Company’s transition from external to internal management contained vesting provisions that, as drafted, were more favorable to them than the Compensation Committee had authorized. In addition, the investigation found that the Compensation Committee’s intention in respect of the OPP was that the maximum award pool opportunity should have been based upon the Company’s equity market capitalization as of the date of the approval of the OPP in October 2013, equaling approximately $120.0 million, rather than $218.1 million which was derived from a pro forma equity market capitalization giving effect to the closing of various transactions as of the Company’s transition to self-management. These items resulted in a decrease to stock-based compensation reported in general and administrative expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 of $2.2 million and $8.4 million, respectively.
	In addition, the Company assessed its accrual for distributions recorded on LTIP units, noting distributions had not been properly recorded. As a result, the Company increased the distributions recorded in equity and the accrual recorded for distributions payable for LTIP awards by $6.3 million as of June 30, 2014.
	The Company also determined that the documentation of awards granted to its directors provided for accelerated vesting of shares upon voluntary resignation of the directors. As a result, the Company determined there was no required service period for the vesting of such awards, which decreased the stock based compensation reported in general and administrative expense by $1.2 million and increased the expense by $2.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. Based upon the findings of the Audit Committee and the Company in connection with the recent review of the Company’s previously filed financial statements, the Company has subsequently modified such awards to provide that voluntary resignation would not accelerate the vesting of such awards.
	The Company originally reported $9.3 million and $31.8 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, in equity-based compensation in its own line item, however it now reports such compensation as general and administrative expenses.
	Depreciation and Amortization
	The Company identified that its depreciation expense was understated by $2.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and was overstated by the same amount in the three months ended June 30, 2014. As such, the Company properly adjusted depreciation expense for these periods.
	In addition, the Company improperly recorded depreciation expense of $6.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014 for real estate properties acquired as of March 31, 2014. As such, the Company decreased depreciation expense by this amount for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and properly recorded this expense in the three months ended March 31, 2014.
	Other Expense
	As a result of the restatement corrections, the Company updated its tax provision calculation which resulted in additional tax expense of $2.2 million and $0.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.
	Gain (Loss) on Disposition of Properties and Held for Sale Assets
	Subsequent to the CapLease Merger and Cole Merger (each, as defined in Note 3 — Mergers and Acquisitions (As Restated)), the Company disposed of certain properties acquired in those mergers. The disposition of such properties resulted in a net gain on disposition for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and a net loss on disposition for the six months ended June 30, 2014; however, the Company incorrectly adjusted its purchase price allocation by adjusting its goodwill recorded in connection with the Mergers by $2.6 million and $10.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. The Company has determined that there was not sufficient evidence to support adjusting its goodwill as a measurement period adjustment. As a result, the Company reversed the measurement period adjustments that were made to goodwill and recognized a net gain and loss on disposition for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.
	In addition, the Company assigned goodwill associated with the certain Mergers to the Company’s REI segment. However, the Company determined that it did not properly account for disposals of real estate because a portion of goodwill was not included in the carrying amount of the associated real estate in its determination of the gain or loss on disposition. To correct the accounting, the Company allocated $2.2 million and $9.2 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, of goodwill to real estate dispositions, which increased the loss on disposition of properties recognized in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.
	The Company did not properly classify a property as held for sale as of June 30, 2014. As such, the Company adjusted the fair value of the property at that date and recognized a loss on held for sale assets of $1.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.
	Gain (Loss) on Derivative Instruments
	The Company determined that a portion of one of its interest rate swaps was incorrectly designated as effective, rather than ineffective for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. Therefore, the Company incorrectly recorded the ineffective portion of the hedge through other comprehensive income (“OCI”), rather than earnings. The Company recorded a gain of $0.5 million and $1.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, and reversed the amounts from OCI for the respective periods.
	As part of the Cole Merger, the Company acquired a derivative liability in the amount of $10.0 million for interest rate swaps. The swaps were subsequently settled in connection with the extinguishment of the related debt. This settlement should have been recorded as a reduction of the derivative liability acquired, however it was recorded as a loss on derivative instruments in the three months ended March 31, 2014. The Company previously corrected this in the three months ended June 30, 2014. In order to correct the period in which this adjustment was made, the Company decreased the amount recorded as a loss on derivative instruments in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and increased the amount recorded as a loss on derivative instruments in the three months ended June 30, 2014.
	The Company identified a swap interest payment of $1.8 million was incorrectly classified as a loss on derivative instruments. To correct the accounting, the Company reclassified the loss on derivative instruments to interest expense in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. Additionally, the Company identified $2.1 million recorded as loss on derivative instruments that should have been recorded as interest expense. The Company reclassified loss on derivative instruments to interest expense in the six months ended June 30, 2014. No such expenses were identified in the three months ended June 30, 2014.
	Interest Expense
	The Company determined that the breakage costs of an interest rate lock was incorrectly recorded as interest expense in the six months ended June 30, 2014, rather than OCI and amortized over the term of the lock. As such, $3.9 million of expense was reclassified from interest expense to OCI in the period ended June 30, 2014. No such expenses were identified in the three months ended June 30, 2014.
	The Company identified a credit for interest expense of $1.1 million was incorrectly recorded in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 as the credit was already recorded through a separate transaction. As such, the Company increased interest expense and decreased the receivable for this amount in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.
	The Company concluded that the interest expense related to a swap was underestimated by $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. As such, the Company recorded additional interest expense for the respective amount. No such expenses were identified in the three months ended June 30, 2014.
	The Company concluded that $5.0 million and $12.8 million of debt extinguishment costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, which were originally reported as interest expense, should be reported as a separate line item caption within the consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. As such, the Company decreased interest expense by these amounts for the respective periods.
	Net Loss Attributable to Non-controlling Interests
	The original calculation of the net loss attributable to non-controlling interest holders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 excluded expenses that were improperly recorded at the Company level. These expenses were incurred by the OP, and therefore should have been included in the Company’s determination of the net loss attributable to its non-controlling interest holders. In addition, the net loss attributable to the non-controlling interest holders has been adjusted to reflect the impact of the cumulative restatement adjustments discussed and presented herein. As a result, the Company recorded an adjustment of $1.1 million and $1.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, for net loss attributable to non-controlling interest holders.
Other Changes
Along with restating the consolidated financial statements to correct the errors discussed above, the Company recorded adjustments for certain previously identified immaterial accounting errors related to the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 that arose in the normal course of business. In connection with the original financial statement issuance, the Company assessed the impact of these immaterial errors and concluded that they were not material, individually or in the aggregate, to the consolidated financial statements. However, in conjunction with the restatement, the Company determined that it would be appropriate to correct such errors.
The original calculations of net loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 were based on an incorrect weighted average share count. The original weighted average share count treated a portion of certain restricted share awards as outstanding common stock prior to the actual vesting date of such awards, and as a result, the weighted average share count was overstated for both periods. Therefore, the 2014 restated consolidated financial statements reflect decreases of 334,276 shares and 332,939 shares to the weighted average share counts used in the net loss per share calculations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.
The Company also recorded certain reclassifications to conform the presentation of its consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.
In addition to the restatement of the consolidated financial statements, the Company has also restated the following notes for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013 to reflect the error corrections noted above.

Mergers and Acquisitions	6 Months Ended

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Mergers and Acquisitions	Note 3 — Mergers and Acquisitions (As Restated)
	Completed Mergers and Significant Acquisitions
	American Realty Capital Trust III, Inc. Merger
	On December 14, 2012, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “ARCT III Merger Agreement”) with American Realty Capital Trust III, Inc. (“ARCT III”) and certain subsidiaries of each company. The ARCT III Merger Agreement provided for the merger of ARCT III with and into a subsidiary of the Company (the “ARCT III Merger”). The ARCT III Merger was consummated on February 28, 2013.
	Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the ARCT III Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of common stock of ARCT III, including restricted shares which became vested, was converted into the right to receive (i) 0.95 of a share of the Company’s common stock (the “ARCT III Exchange Ratio”) or (ii) $12.00 in cash. In addition, each outstanding unit of equity ownership of ARCT III’s operating partnership (the “ARCT III OP”) was converted into the right to receive 0.95 of the same class of unit of equity ownership in the OP.
	Upon the closing of the ARCT III Merger on February 28, 2013, the Company paid an aggregate of $350 million in cash for 29.2 million shares that elected cash consideration, or 16.5% of the then outstanding shares of ARCT III’s common stock (which is equivalent to 27.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock based on the ARCT III Exchange Ratio). In addition, 140.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock were issued in exchange for 148.1 million shares of ARCT III’s common stock adjusted for the ARCT III Exchange Ratio.
	Upon the consummation of the ARCT III Merger, American Realty Capital Trust III Special Limited Partner, LLC (the “ARCT III Special Limited Partner”), the holder of the special limited partner interest in the ARCT III OP, was entitled to subordinated distributions of net sales proceeds from the ARCT III OP which resulted in the issuance of units of limited partner interests in the ARCT III OP, when after applying the ARCT III Exchange Ratio, resulting in the issuance of an additional 7.3 million OP Units to affiliates of the Former Manager. The parties had agreed that such OP Units would be subject to a minimum one-year holding period from the date of issuance before being redeemable by the holder for cash or, at the option of the Company, the Company’s common stock.
	Also in connection with the ARCT III Merger, the Company entered into an agreement with ARC and its affiliates to internalize certain functions performed by them prior to the ARCT III Merger, reduce certain fees paid to affiliates and pay certain merger related fees. See Note 20 — Related Party Transactions and Arrangements (As Restated).
	Accounting Treatment for the ARCT III Merger
	The Company and ARCT III, from inception to the ARCT III Merger date, were considered to be entities under common control. Both entities’ advisors were wholly owned subsidiaries of ARC. ARC and its related parties had significant ownership interests in the Company and ARCT III through the ownership of shares of common stock and other equity interests. In addition, the advisors of both entities were contractually eligible to receive potential fees for their services to both of the companies including asset management fees, incentive fees and other fees and continued to receive fees from the Company prior to the Company’s transition to self-management. Due to the significance of these fees, the advisors and ultimately ARC were determined to have a significant economic interest in both companies in addition to having the power to direct the significant activities of the companies through advisory/management agreements, which qualified them as affiliated companies under common control in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The acquisition of an entity under common control is accounted for on the carryover basis of accounting, whereby the assets and liabilities of the companies are recorded upon the merger on the same basis as they were carried by the companies on the ARCT III Merger date. In addition, U.S. GAAP requires the Company to present historical financial information for all periods that entities were under common control. Therefore, the accompanying consolidated financial statements including the notes thereto are presented as if the ARCT III Merger had occurred at inception.
	CapLease, Inc. Merger
	On May 28, 2013, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “CapLease Merger Agreement”) with CapLease, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“CapLease”), and certain subsidiaries of each company. The CapLease Merger Agreement provided for the merger of CapLease with and into a subsidiary of the Company (the “CapLease Merger”).
	On November 5, 2013, the Company completed the CapLease Merger. Pursuant to the terms of the CapLease Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of common stock of CapLease, other than shares owned by the Company, CapLease or any of their respective wholly owned subsidiaries, was converted into the right to receive $8.50. Each outstanding share of preferred stock of CapLease, other than shares owned by the Company, CapLease or any of their respective wholly owned subsidiaries, was converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the sum of $25.00 plus all accrued and unpaid dividends on such shares of preferred stock. In addition, in connection with the merger of Caplease, LP with and into the OP, each outstanding unit of equity ownership of CapLease’s operating partnership, other than units owned by CapLease or any wholly owned subsidiary of CapLease, was converted into the right to receive $8.50. Vesting of CapLease’s outstanding restricted stock was accelerated and restricted stock and any outstanding performance shares were fully earned and received $8.50 per share. In total, cash consideration of $920.7 million was paid to CapLease’s common and preferred shareholders.
	Accounting Treatment for the CapLease Merger
	The CapLease Merger has been accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting under U.S. GAAP. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from CapLease have been recorded as of the acquisition date at their respective fair values. Any excess of purchase price over the fair values is recorded as goodwill. Results of operations for CapLease are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.
	American Realty Capital Trust IV, Inc. Merger
	On July 1, 2013, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, as amended on October 6, 2013 and October 11, 2013 (the “ARCT IV Merger Agreement”), with ARCT IV, and certain subsidiaries of each company. The ARCT IV Merger Agreement provided for the merger of ARCT IV with and into a subsidiary of the OP (the “ARCT IV Merger”). The Company consummated the ARCT IV Merger on January 3, 2014 (the “ARCT IV Merger Date”).
	Pursuant to the terms of the ARCT IV Merger Agreement, as amended, each outstanding share of common stock of ARCT IV, including unvested restricted shares that vested in conjunction with the ARCT IV Merger, was exchanged for (i) $9.00 in cash, (ii) 0.5190 of a share of the Company’s common stock (the “ARCT IV Exchange Ratio”) and (iii) 0.5937 of a share of a new series of preferred stock of the Company designated as the 6.70% Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series F Preferred Stock”) and each outstanding unit of ARCT IV’s operating partnership (each, an “ARCT IV OP Unit”), other than ARCT IV OP Units held by American Realty Capital Trust IV Special Limited Partner, LLC (the “ARCT IV Special Limited Partner”) and American Realty Capital Advisors IV, LLC (the “ARCT IV Advisor”) was exchanged for (i) $9.00 in cash, (ii) 0.5190 of an OP Unit and (iii) 0.5937 of an OP Unit designated as Series F Preferred Units (“Series F OP Units”). In total, the Company paid $651.4 million in cash, issued 36.9 million shares of common stock and 42.2 million shares of Series F Preferred Stock, and issued 0.6 million OP Units and 0.7 million Series F OP Units to the former ARCT IV shareholders and ARCT IV OP Unit holders in connection with the consummation of the ARCT IV Merger. In addition, each outstanding ARCT IV Class B Unit (as defined below) and each outstanding ARCT IV OP Unit held by the ARCT IV Special Limited Partner and the ARCT IV Advisor was converted into 2.3961 OP Units, resulting in the Company issuing 1.2 million OP Units.
	On January 3, 2014, the OP entered into a Contribution and Exchange Agreement (the “ARCT IV Contribution and Exchange Agreement”) with the ARCT IV OP, the ARCT IV Special Limited Partner and ARC Real Estate Partners, LLC (“ARC Real Estate”), an entity affiliated with the Former Manager. The ARCT IV Special Limited Partner was entitled to receive certain distributions from the ARCT IV OP, including the subordinated distribution of net sales proceeds resulting from an “investment liquidity event” (as defined in the agreement of limited partnership of the ARCT IV OP). The ARCT IV Merger constituted an “investment liquidity event,” as a result of which the ARCT IV Special Limited Partner, in connection with management’s successful attainment of the 6.0% performance hurdle and the return to ARCT IV’s stockholders of $358.3 million in addition to their initial investment, was entitled to receive a subordinated distribution of net sales proceeds from the ARCT IV OP equal to $63.2 million. Pursuant to the ARCT IV Contribution and Exchange Agreement, the ARCT IV Special Limited Partner contributed its interest in the ARCT IV OP, inclusive of the subordinated distribution proceeds received, to the ARCT IV OP in exchange for 2.8 million equity units of the ARCT IV OP, based on a price per share of $22.50. The fair value of these units at date of issuance was $78.2 million and has been included in merger and other non-routine transactions in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Upon consummation of the ARCT IV Merger, these equity units were immediately converted to 6.7 million OP Units after application of the exchange ratio of 2.3961 per share. In conjunction with the ARCT IV Merger Agreement, the ARCT IV Special Limited Partner agreed to a minimum two-year holding period for these OP units before being redeemable by the holder for cash or, at the option of the Company, the Company’s common stock.
	In addition, as part of the ARCT IV Contribution and Exchange Agreement, ARC Real Estate, contributed $750,000 in cash to the ARCT IV OP, effective prior to the consummation of the ARCT IV Merger, in exchange for ARCT IV OP Units. Upon the consummation of the ARCT IV Merger, these equity units converted at an exchange ratio of 2.3961 OP Units per ARCT IV OP Unit, resulting in the Company issuing 0.1 million OP Units.
	Accounting Treatment for the ARCT IV Merger
	The Company and ARCT IV, from inception to the ARCT IV Merger date, were considered to be entities under common control. Both entities’ advisors were wholly owned subsidiaries of ARC. ARC and its related parties had ownership interests in the Company and ARCT IV through the ownership of shares of common stock, OP Units and other equity interests. In addition, the advisors of both entities were contractually eligible to receive potential fees for their services to both of the companies including asset management fees, incentive fees and other fees and had continued to receive fees from the Company prior to the Company’s transition to self-management. Due to the significance of these fees, the advisors and ultimately ARC were determined to have a significant economic interest in both companies in addition to having the power to direct the activities of the companies through advisory/management agreements, which qualified them as affiliated companies under common control in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The acquisition of an entity under common control is accounted for on the carryover basis of accounting, whereby the assets and liabilities of the companies are recorded upon the merger on the same basis as they were carried by the companies on the ARCT IV Merger date. In addition, U.S. GAAP requires the Company to present historical financial information for all periods that entities were under common control. Therefore, the accompanying consolidated financial statements including the notes thereto are presented as if the ARCT IV Merger, including the impact of the equity transactions entered to consummate the merger, had occurred at inception.
	Fortress Portfolio Acquisition
	On July 24, 2013, ARC and another related entity, on behalf of the Company and certain other entities sponsored directly or indirectly by ARC, entered into a purchase and sale agreement with affiliates of funds managed by Fortress Investment Group LLC (“Fortress”) for the purchase of 196 properties owned by Fortress, for an aggregate contract purchase price of $972.5 million, subject to adjustments set forth in the purchase and sale agreement and exclusive of closing costs, which were allocated to the Company based on the pro rata fair value of the properties acquired by the Company relative to the fair value of all 196 properties to be acquired from Fortress. Of the 196 properties, 120 properties were allocated to and assigned by the Company (the “Fortress Portfolio”). On October 1, 2013, the Company closed on 41 of the 120 properties with a total purchase price of $200.3 million, exclusive of closing costs. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company closed the acquisition of the remaining 79 properties in the Fortress Portfolio for an aggregate contract purchase price of $400.9 million, exclusive of closing costs. The total purchase price of the Fortress Portfolio was $601.2 million, exclusive of closing costs.
	Cole Real Estate Investments, Inc. Merger
	On October 22, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Cole Merger Agreement”) with Cole Real Estate Investments, Inc. (“Cole”), a Maryland corporation, and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Cole Merger Agreement provided for the merger of Cole with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Cole Merger”). The Company consummated the Cole Merger on February 7, 2014 (the “Cole Acquisition Date”).
	Pursuant to the terms of the Cole Merger Agreement, each share of common stock of Cole issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Cole Merger, including unvested restricted stock units and performance stock units that vested in conjunction with the Cole Merger, other than shares owned by the Company, any subsidiary of the Company or any wholly owned subsidiary of Cole, was converted into the right to receive either (i) 1.0929 shares of common stock of the Company (the “Stock Consideration”) or (ii) $13.82 in cash (the “Cash Consideration” and together with the Stock Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”). Approximately 98% of all outstanding Cole shareholders received Stock Consideration and approximately 2% of outstanding Cole shareholders elected to receive Cash Consideration, pursuant to the terms of the Cole Merger Agreement, resulting in the Company issuing approximately 520.8 million shares of the Company’s common stock and paying $181.8 million in cash to Cole’s shareholders based on their elections.
	In addition, the Company issued approximately 2.8 million shares of the Company’s common stock, in the aggregate, to certain executives of Cole pursuant to letter agreements entered into between the Company and such individuals concurrently with the execution of the Cole Merger Agreement, as previously disclosed by the Company. Additionally, effective as of the Cole Acquisition Date, the Company issued, but has not yet allocated, 0.4 million shares with dividend equivalent rights commensurate with the Company’s common stock.
	Accounting Treatment for the Cole Merger
	The Cole Merger has been accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting under U.S. GAAP. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Cole have been recorded as of the acquisition date at their respective fair values. Any excess of purchase price over the fair values is recorded as goodwill. Results of operations for Cole are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements subsequent to the Cole Acquisition Date.
	Inland Portfolio Acquisition
	On August 8, 2013, ARC and another related entity, on behalf of the Company and certain other entities sponsored directly or indirectly by ARC, entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Inland American Real Estate Trust, Inc. (“Inland”) for the purchase of the equity interests of 67 companies owned by Inland for an aggregate contract purchase price of approximately $2.3 billion, subject to adjustments set forth in the purchase and sale agreement and exclusive of closing costs. Of the 67 companies, the equity interests of 10 companies (the “Inland Portfolio”) were allocated to the Company for a purchase price of approximately $501.0 million, subject to adjustments set forth in the purchase and sale agreement and exclusive of closing costs, which was allocated to the Company based on the pro rata fair value of the Inland Portfolio relative to the fair value of all 67 companies to be acquired from Inland by the Company and the other entities sponsored directly or indirectly by ARC. The Inland Portfolio is comprised of 33 properties. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had closed on 32 of the 33 properties for a total purchase price of $288.2 million, exclusive of closing costs. The Company will not close on the remaining one property.
	Cole Credit Property Trust, Inc. Merger
	On March 17, 2014, the Company and a wholly owned subsidiary entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “CCPT Merger Agreement”) with Cole Credit Property Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“CCPT”). The CCPT Merger Agreement provided for the merger of CCPT with and into a subsidiary of the Company (the “CCPT Merger”). The Company consummated the CCPT Merger on May 19, 2014 (the “CCPT Acquisition Date”). The estimated fair value of the consideration transferred at the CCPT Acquisition Date totaled approximately $73.2 million, which was paid in cash.
	Pursuant to the CCPT Merger Agreement, the Company commenced a cash tender offer to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock of CCPT (the “CCPT Common Stock”) (other than shares owned by CCPT, the Company or any subsidiary of the Company), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated March 31, 2014, and the related Letter of Transmittal (together with any amendments or supplements to the foregoing, the “Offer”), at a price of $7.25 per share (the “Offer Price”), net to the seller in cash, without interest, less any applicable withholding tax. On May 19, 2014, the Company accepted for payment and paid for all shares of CCPT Common Stock that were validly tendered in the Offer. As of the expiration of the Offer, a total of 7,735,069 shares of CCPT Common Stock were validly tendered and not withdrawn, representing approximately 77% of the shares of CCPT Common Stock outstanding.
	Immediately following the acceptance for payment and payment for the shares of CCPT Common Stock that were validly tendered in the Offer, the Company exercised its option (the “Top-Up Option”), granted pursuant to the CCPT Merger Agreement, to purchase, at a price per share equal to the Offer Price, 13,457,874 newly issued shares of CCPT Common Stock (collectively, the “Top-Up Shares”). The Top-Up Shares, taken together with the shares of CCPT Common Stock owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company immediately following the acceptance for payment and payment for the shares of CCPT Common Stock that were validly tendered in the Offer, constituted one share more than 90% of the outstanding shares of CCPT Common Stock (after giving effect to the issuance of all shares subject to the Top-Up Option), the applicable threshold required to effect a short-form merger under applicable Maryland law without stockholder approval.
	Following the consummation of the Offer and the exercise of the Top-Up Option, in accordance with the CCPT Merger Agreement, the Company completed its acquisition of CCPT by effecting a short-form merger under Maryland law, pursuant to which CCPT was merged with and into a subsidiary of the Company. The CCPT Merger became effective following the filing of the Articles of Merger with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland and the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware with an effective date of May 19, 2014 (the “Effective Time”).
	At the Effective Time, each share of CCPT Common Stock not purchased in the Offer (other than shares held by the CCPT, the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, which were automatically canceled and retired and ceased to exist) was converted into the right to receive an amount, in cash and without interest, equal to the Offer Price.
	Accounting Treatment for the CCPT Merger
	The CCPT Merger has been accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting under U.S. GAAP. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from CCPT have been recorded as of the acquisition date at their respective fair values. Any excess of purchase price over the fair values is recorded as goodwill. Results of operations for CCPT are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements subsequent to the CCPT Acquisition Date.
	Pending Significant Acquisition
	Purchase Agreement for Red Lobster Portfolio
	On May 15, 2014, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a master purchase agreement to acquire 500 properties, substantially all of which are operating as Red Lobster® restaurants (the “Red Lobster Portfolio”) from a third party. The transaction is structured as a sale-leaseback in which the Company will purchase the Red Lobster Portfolio and will immediately lease the portfolio back to the third party pursuant to the terms of multiple master leases (the “Master Leases”). The overall sale-leaseback transaction consists of 522 Red Lobster® restaurants and 20 other branded restaurant properties for a purchase price of $1.7 billion.
	Other
	Abandoned Spin-off of Multi-Tenant Shopping Center Portfolio
	On March 13, 2014, the Company announced its intention to spin off its multi-tenant shopping center business (“MT Spin-off”) into a publicly traded REIT, American Realty Capital Centers, Inc., which was expected to operate under the name “ARCenters” and to trade on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol “ARCM.” The OP was expected to retain 25% ownership of ARCM. The spin-off was expected to be effectuated through a pro rata taxable special distribution of one share of ARCM common stock for every 10 shares of the Company’s common stock and every 10 OP Units held by third parties in the OP. On April 4, 2014, ARCM filed a Registration Statement on Form 10 to register ARCM’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act so that, upon consummation of the spin-off, shares of ARCM received by holders of the Company’s common stock, or OP Units, as applicable, could freely trade their newly received ARCM common stock. ARCM was expected to be externally managed by the Company. On May 21, 2014, the Company announced that it had reassessed its plans for the multi-tenant shopping center portfolio and entered into a letter of intent to sell such portfolio to Blackstone, expecting to finalize pertinent documentation related thereto within 30 days of such date. The properties included in such sale were the same properties that would have been spun off into ARCM and, consequently, the Company abandoned its proposed spin-off at such time. On June 11, 2014, as described in Note 1 — Organization, indirect subsidiaries of the Company entered into an agreement of purchase and sale with the Purchaser, pursuant to which the parties definitively documented the sale of the Multi-Tenant Portfolio. In light of the Company’s entry into such agreement, it abandoned its previously contemplated spin-off.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Note 4 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (As Restated)
	The consolidated financial statements of the Company included herein were prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The information furnished includes all adjustments and accruals of a normal recurring nature, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year or any subsequent interim period.
	These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013 of the Company, which are included in the Amended 10-K. There have been no significant changes to these policies during the six months ended June 30, 2014, other than the updates described below.
	Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, consolidated joint venture arrangements and its subsidiaries. The portions of the consolidated joint venture arrangements not owned by the Company are presented as non-controlling interests. In addition, as described in Note 1 — Organization, certain affiliates and non-affiliated third parties have been issued OP Units. Holders of OP Units are considered to be non-controlling interest holders in the OP and their ownership interest is reflected as equity in the consolidated balance sheets. In addition, a portion of the earnings and losses of the OP are allocated to non-controlling interest holders based on their respective ownership percentages. Upon conversion of OP Units to common stock, any difference between the fair value of common shares issued and the carrying value of the OP Units converted is recorded as a component of equity. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were 24,771,215 and 9,591,174 outstanding OP Units held by third parties (other than the Company), respectively. In addition, as discussed in Note 3 — Mergers and Acquisitions (As Restated), the historical information of ARCT III and ARCT IV has been presented as if the mergers had occurred from the earliest date of common control for each merger.
	The Company evaluates its relationships and investments to determine if it has variable interests. A variable interest is an investment or other interest that will absorb portions of an entity’s expected losses or receive portions of the entity’s expected residual returns. The Company’s evaluation includes consideration of the qualitative and quantitative significance of fees the Company earns from certain of its relationships and investments. If the Company determines that it has a variable interest in an entity, it evaluates whether such interest is in a variable interest entity (“VIE”). A VIE is broadly defined as an entity where either (1) the equity investors as a group, if any, lack the power through voting or similar rights to direct the activities of an entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance or (2) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support.
	A variable interest holder is considered to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE if it has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company qualitatively assesses whether it is (or is not) the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Consideration of various factors include, but are not limited to, the Company’s ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, its form of ownership interest, its representation on the entity’s governing body, the size and seniority of its investment, its ability and the rights of other investors to participate in policy making decisions and to replace the manager of and/or liquidate the entity. The Company consolidates any VIEs when it is determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE’s operations and the difference between consolidating the VIE and accounting for it on the equity method would be material to the Company’s financial statements.
	The Company continually evaluates the need to consolidate joint ventures and the managed investment programs based on standards set forth in GAAP as described above.
	Investment in Unconsolidated Entities
	Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
	Investment in unconsolidated joint ventures as of June 30, 2014 consisted of the Company’s interest in six joint ventures that owned six properties (the “Unconsolidated Joint Ventures”). As of June 30, 2014, the Company owned aggregate equity investments of $98.1 million in the Unconsolidated Joint Ventures. The Company accounts for the Unconsolidated Joint Ventures using the equity method of accounting as the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over operating and financial policies of these investments. The equity method of accounting requires the investment to be initially recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for the Company’s share of equity in the joint ventures’ earnings and distributions.
	Investment in Managed REITs
	As of June 30, 2014, the Company owned aggregate equity investments of $3.9 million in the following publicly registered, non-traded REITs: Cole Credit Property Trust IV, Inc. (“CCPT IV”); Cole Corporate Income Trust, Inc. (“CCIT”); Cole Real Estate Income Strategy (Daily NAV), Inc. (“INAV”); Cole Office & Industrial REIT (CCIT II), Inc. (“CCIT II”); and Cole Credit Property Trust V, Inc. (“CCPT V,” and collectively with CCPT IV, CCIT, INAV and CCIT II, the “Managed REITs”). Prior to the CCPT Acquisition Date, CCPT was a Managed REIT and accounted for using the equity method. As of the CCPT Acquisition Date, the Company had an approximate $5,000 equity investment in CCPT. The Company accounts for these investments using the equity method of accounting, which requires the investment to be initially recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for the Company’s share of equity in the respective Managed REIT’s earnings and distributions.
	Leasehold Improvements and Property and Equipment
	The Company leases its office facilities under operating leases. Leasehold improvements related to these are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the estimated useful life or remaining lease term.
	Property and equipment, which primarily include office furniture, fixtures and equipment and computer hardware and software, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Property and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from five to seven years. The Company reassesses the useful lives of its property and equipment and adjusts the future monthly depreciation expense based on the new useful life, as applicable. If the Company disposes of an asset, the asset and related accumulated depreciation are written off upon disposal.
	Impairments
	Investment in Unconsolidated Entities
	The Company is required to determine whether an event or change in circumstances has occurred that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of any of its investment in the unconsolidated entities. If an event or change in circumstance has occurred, the Company is required to evaluate its investment in the unconsolidated entity for potential impairment and determine if the carrying amount of its investment exceeds its fair value. An impairment charge is recorded when an impairment is deemed to be other-than-temporary. To determine whether an impairment is other-than-temporary, the Company considers whether it has the ability and intent to hold the investment until the carrying amount is fully recovered. The evaluation of an investment in an unconsolidated entity for potential impairment requires the Company’s management to exercise significant judgment and to make certain assumptions. The use of different judgments and assumptions could result in different conclusions.
	Leasehold Improvements and Property and Equipment
	Leasehold improvements and property and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. If this review indicates that the carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable, the Company records an impairment loss, measured at fair value by estimated discounted cash flows or market appraisals. The Company identified eight properties during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 with impairment indicators four of which the undiscounted future cash flows expected as a result of the use and eventual disposition of the real estate and related assets was less than the carrying amount of each respective properties, as discussed in Note 11 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments (As Restated). The evaluation of an investment in an unconsolidated property for potential impairment requires the Company’s management to exercise significant judgment and to make certain assumptions. The use of different judgments and assumptions could result in different conclusions.
	Goodwill
	In the case of a business combination, after identifying all tangible and intangible assets and liabilities, the excess consideration paid over the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired and assumed, respectively, represents goodwill. Goodwill that arose as a result of the Company’s mergers and acquisitions was recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
	In the event the Company disposes of a property that constitutes a business under U.S. GAAP from a reporting unit with goodwill, the Company will allocate a portion of the reporting unit’s goodwill to that business in determining the gain or loss on the disposal of the business. The amount of goodwill allocated to the business will be based on the relative fair value of the business to the fair value of the reporting unit. The REI segment and Cole Capital each comprise one reporting unit.
	The Company will evaluate goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently when an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate the carrying value, by reporting unit, may not be recoverable. The Company’s annual testing date is during the fourth quarter. The Company will test goodwill for impairment by first comparing the book value of net assets to the fair value of each reporting unit. If the fair value is determined to be less than the book value or if qualitative factors indicate that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, a second step is performed to compute the amount of impairment as the difference between the estimated fair value of goodwill and the carrying value. The Company will estimate the fair value of the reporting units using discounted cash flows and relevant competitor multiples. The evaluation of goodwill for potential impairment requires the Company’s management to exercise significant judgment and to make certain assumptions. The use of different judgments and assumptions could result in different conclusions.
	The following summarizes the Company’s goodwill activity during the six months ended June 30, 2014 by segment (in thousands):
			REI Segment			Cole Capital		Consolidated
	Balance as of January 1, 2014		$	92,789		$	—	$	92,789
	Cole Merger (1)			1,654,085			558,835		2,212,920
	Goodwill allocated to dispositions (2)			(12,689	)		—		(12,689	)
	Balance as of June 30, 2014		$	1,734,185		$	558,835	$	2,293,020
	-1	Goodwill recognized from the Cole Merger was assigned to the REI segment and Cole Capital based on the excess consideration paid over the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired and assumed in each segment. Refer to Note 5 — Acquisitions of CapLease, Cole and CCPT (As Restated) for further discussion.
	-2	Goodwill allocated to the cost basis of properties sold or classified as held for sale is included in loss on held for sale assets and disposition of properties, net, in the consolidated statement of operations.
	Program Development Costs
	The Company pays for organization, registration and offering expenses associated with the sale of common stock of the Managed REITs. The reimbursement of these expenses by the Managed REITs is limited to a certain percentage of the proceeds raised from their offerings, in accordance with their respective advisory agreements and charters. Such expenses paid by the Company on behalf of the Managed REITs in excess of these limits that are expected to be collected are recorded as program development costs. The Company assesses the collectability of the program development costs, considering the offering period and historical and forecasted sales of shares under the Managed REITs’ respective offering and reserves for any balances considered not collectible. No reserves were recorded as of June 30, 2014, as the Company expects to be reimbursed for all of the program development costs by the Managed REITs as additional proceeds from their respective offerings are raised. Program development costs are included in deferred costs and other assets, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
	Acquisition Related Expenses and Merger and Other Non-routine Transaction Related Expenses
	All direct costs incurred as a result of a business combination are classified as acquisition costs or merger and other non-routine transaction costs and expensed as incurred. In addition, indirect costs, such as internal salaries, that are tracked and documented in a manner that clearly indicate that the activities driving the cost directly relate to activities necessary to complete, or effect, a business combination are classified as acquisition related expenses. Similar costs incurred in relation to mergers with entities under common control (which are not accounted for as acquisitions) are included in the caption “merger and other non-routine transactions.” Acquisition related expenses include legal and other transaction related costs incurred in connection with self-originated acquisitions including purchases of portfolios. Other non-routine transaction costs are also presented within the line item merger and other non-routine transactions in the consolidated statements of operations.
	Merger and other non-routine transaction related expenses include the following costs (amounts in thousands):
			Three Months Ended June 30,					Six Months Ended June 30,
			2014			2013		2014			2013

	The Company receives or may be entitled to receive compensation and reimbursement for services primarily relating to the Managed REITs’ offerings and the investment, management, financing and disposition of their respective assets. Refer to Note 20 — Related Party Transactions and Arrangements (As Restated) for further explanation.
	Reportable Segments
	The Company has concluded that it has two reportable segments as it has organized its operations into two segments for management and internal financial reporting purposes, REI and Cole Capital. The identification and aggregation of reportable segments requires the Company’s management to exercise certain judgments. Refer to Note 6 — Segment Reporting (As Restated) for further information.
	Revenue Recognition - Cole Capital
	Revenue consists of securities sales commissions and dealer manager fees, real estate acquisition fees, property management fees, advisory fees, asset management fees and performance fees for services relating to the Managed REITs’ offerings and the investment and management of their respective assets, in accordance with the respective advisory and dealer manager agreements. The Company records revenue related to acquisition fees, securities sales commissions and dealer manager fees upon completion of a transaction and advisory, asset and property management fees as services are performed. The Company is also reimbursed for certain costs incurred in providing these services. Securities sales commission and dealer manager reimbursements are recorded as revenue as the expenses are incurred. Other reimbursements are recorded as revenue when reimbursements are reasonably assured.
Income Taxes
The Company currently qualifies and has elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code. As a REIT, except as discussed below, the Company generally is not subject to federal income tax on taxable income that it distributes to its stockholders so long as it distributes at least 90% of its annual taxable income (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gains). REITs are subject to a number of other organizational and operational requirements. Even if the Company maintains its qualification for taxation as a REIT, it may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.
The Company conducts substantially all of its Cole Capital business operations through a TRS. A TRS is a subsidiary of a REIT that is subject to corporate federal, state and local income taxes, as applicable. The Company’s use of a TRS enables it to engage in certain business activities while complying with the REIT qualification requirements and to retain any income generated by these businesses for reinvestment without the requirement to distribute those earnings. The Company conducts all of its business in the United States, and as a result, the Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and local jurisdictions. Certain of the Company’s inter-company transactions that have been eliminated in consolidation for financial accounting purposes are also subject to taxation.
The Company provides for income taxes in accordance with current authoritative accounting and tax guidance. The tax expense or benefit related to significant, unusual or extraordinary items is recognized in the quarter in which those items occur. In addition, the effect of changes in enacted tax laws, rates or tax status is recognized in the quarter in which the change occurs. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, additional information is obtained or the tax environment changes.
Repurchase Agreements
In certain circumstances, the Company may obtain financing through a repurchase agreement. The Company evaluates the initial transfer of a financial instrument and the related repurchase agreement for sale accounting treatment. In instances where the Company maintains effective control over the transferred securities, the Company accounts for the transaction as a secured borrowing, and accordingly, both the securities and related repurchase agreement payable are recorded separately in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets in investment securities, at fair value and other debt, net, respectively. In instances where the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred securities, the Company accounts for the transaction as a sale of securities for proceeds consisting of cash and a forward purchase contract.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2014, the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”), 2014-08 Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (“ASU 2014-08”), which amends the reporting requirements for discontinued operations by updating the definition of a discontinued operation to be a component of an entity that represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results, resulting in fewer disposals that qualify for discontinued operations reporting yet the pronouncement also requires expanded disclosures for discontinued operations. The Company adopted ASU 2014-08 effective January 1, 2014. Starting with the first quarter of 2014, the results of operations for all properties sold and properties classified as held for sale that do not meet the criteria to qualify as a discontinued operation and were not previously reported in discontinued operations in the Amended 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 will be presented within income from continuing operations on the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
In May 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605),” and requires an entity to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, and is to be applied retrospectively, with early application not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on its financial statements.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions of CapLease, Cole and CCPT	Note 5 — Acquisitions of CapLease, Cole and CCPT (As Restated)
	CapLease Acquisition
	On November 5, 2013 (the “CapLease Acquisition Date”), the Company completed the CapLease Merger, an acquisition of a real estate investment trust that primarily owned and managed a diversified portfolio of single tenant commercial real estate properties subject to long-term leases, the majority of which were net leases, to high credit quality tenants, by acquiring 100% of the outstanding common stock and voting interests of CapLease. The acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of CapLease subsequent to the CapLease Acquisition Date.
	The purchase price includes a cash payment of $920.7 million, which was funded by the Company through additional borrowings under its revolving credit facility and the credit facility assumed from CapLease. See Note 13 — Other Debt and Note 14 — Credit Facilities.
	The purchase price allocation for the CapLease Merger is considered preliminary, and additional adjustments may be recorded during the measurement period in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The purchase price allocation will be finalized as the Company receives additional information relevant to the acquisition, including a final valuation of the assets purchased and liabilities assumed.
	The preliminary purchase price for the acquisition was allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value and reflects a goodwill adjustment identified in the Amended 10-K in Note 2 — Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements. The following table presents the allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the CapLease Acquisition Date (in thousands):
			As of the CapLease

	Net identifiable assets acquired by Company			827,908
	Goodwill		$	92,789
	-1	As reported in the Amended 10-K.
	Management is in the process of further evaluating the purchase price accounting. The fair value of real estate investments and below-market leases have been estimated by the Company with the assistance of third party valuation firms. Based on a preliminary analysis received to-date, the estimated fair value of these assets and liabilities total $2.0 billion and $57.1 million, respectively. The recorded values represent the estimated fair values related to such assets and liabilities. Upon completion of the analysis, including a review of the appraisals and assessment of current market rates, changes to the estimated fair values may result. Such post-closing adjustments are customary in nature in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations.
	The ascribed value of the non-controlling interest has been estimated based on the fair value of the percentage ownership of The Woodlands, Texas development activity not held by the Company. See Note 7 — Real Estate Investments (As Restated) for further information on this development project.
	The fair value of the remaining CapLease assets and liabilities have been calculated in accordance with the Company’s policy on purchase price allocation, as disclosed in the Amended 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
	Goodwill of approximately $92.8 million has been preliminarily assigned to the REI segment. The goodwill recognized is attributed to the enhancement of the Company’s year-round rental revenue stream, expected synergies and the assembled work force at CapLease.
	The pro forma consolidated statements of operations in Note 7 — Real Estate Investments (As Restated) are presented as if CapLease had been included in the consolidated results of the Company for the entire periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.
	Cole Acquisition
	The Company accounted for the Cole Merger as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. Therefore, the Company’s consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of Cole subsequent to the Cole Acquisition Date.
	Fair Value of Consideration Transferred
	The Company is in the process of gathering certain additional information in order to finalize its assessment of the fair value of the consideration transferred; thus, the fair values of currently recorded assets and liabilities are subject to change. The estimated fair value of the consideration transferred at the Cole Acquisition Date totaled approximately $7.5 billion and consisted of the following (in thousands):
			As of Cole Acquisition
			Date (Preliminary)
	Estimated Fair Value of Consideration Transferred:
	Cash		$	181,775
	Common stock			7,285,868
	Total consideration transferred		$	7,467,643
	The fair value of the 520.8 million shares of common stock issued, excluding those common shares transferred to former Cole executives, was determined based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the Cole Acquisition Date.
	Allocation of Consideration
	The consideration transferred pursuant to the Cole Merger Agreement was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the REI segment and Cole Capital, based upon their preliminary estimated fair values as of the Cole Acquisition Date. The Company is in the process of gathering certain additional information in order to finalize its assessment of the fair value of certain intangible assets; thus, the provisional measurements of intangible assets and goodwill are subject to change. Such post-closing adjustments are customary in nature in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. The measurement periods recorded for the period from the Cole Acquisition Date to June 30, 2014 are presented consolidated and by segments in the tables below.
	The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including all measurement period adjustments, at the Cole Acquisition Date (in thousands):

Net assets acquired		$	6,667,643	$	800,000	$	7,467,643
The fair value of real estate investments, including acquired lease intangibles, and below-market lease liabilities allocated to the REI segment have been estimated by the Company with the assistance of a third party valuation firm. Based on a preliminary analysis received to date, the estimated fair value of these assets and liabilities total $9.0 billion and $212.4 million, respectively. The recorded values represent the estimated fair values related to such assets and liabilities. Upon completion of the analysis, including a review of the appraisals and assessment of current market rates, changes to the estimated fair values may result.
The intangible assets acquired primarily consist of management and advisory contracts that the Company has with the Managed REITs and are subject to an estimated useful life of approximately four years. The Company recorded $38.0 million of amortization expense for the period from the Cole Acquisition Date to June 30, 2014. The estimated amortization expense for the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2014 is $48.6 million. The estimated amortization expense for each of the years ending December 31, 2015, 2016 and 2017 is $96.3 million and the estimated amortization expense for the year ending December 31, 2018 is $9.8 million.
Goodwill of approximately $1.7 billion has been preliminarily assigned to the REI segment. The goodwill recognized is attributed to the enhancement of the Company’s year-round rental revenue stream, realized and expected synergies, the impact of the merger on lowering the Company’s cost of capital, as well as the benefits of critical mass, improved portfolio diversification and enhanced access to capital markets. Goodwill of approximately $558.8 million has been preliminarily assigned to Cole Capital. The goodwill is primarily supported by management’s belief that Cole Capital brings an established management platform with numerous strategic benefits including growth from new income streams and the ability to offer new products. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
The fair value of the remaining Cole assets and liabilities have been calculated in accordance with the Company’s policy on purchase price allocation, as disclosed in the Amended10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
The amounts of revenue and net income related to Cole property acquisitions and Cole Capital included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations from the Cole Acquisition Date to the period ended June 30, 2014 were $366.2 million and $32.0 million, respectively.
The pro forma consolidated statements of operations in Note 7 — Real Estate Investments (As Restated) are presented as if Cole had been included in the consolidated results of the Company for the entire periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.
CCPT Acquisition
On May 19, 2014, the Company completed its acquisition of CCPT, as discussed in Note 3 — Mergers and Acquisitions (As Restated). The Company accounted for the CCPT Merger as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. Therefore, the Company’s consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of CCPT subsequent to the CCPT Acquisition Date.
Fair Value of Consideration Transferred
The Company is in the process of gathering certain additional information in order to finalize its assessment of the fair value of the consideration transferred; thus, the fair values of currently recorded assets and liabilities are subject to change. The estimated fair value of the consideration transferred at the CCPT Acquisition Date totaled approximately $73.2 million, which was paid in cash. The acquisition was funded by the Company through additional borrowings under its revolving credit facility.
Allocation of Consideration
The consideration transferred pursuant to the CCPT Merger Agreement was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their preliminary estimated fair values as of the CCPT Acquisition Date. The Company is in the process of gathering certain additional information in order to finalize its assessment of the fair value of certain intangible assets; thus, the provisional measurements of intangible assets and goodwill are subject to change. Such post-closing adjustments are customary in nature in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Reporting	Note 6 — Segment Reporting (As Restated)
	The Company operates under two segments, REI and Cole Capital.
	REI – Through its REI segment, the Company acquires, owns and operates primarily single-tenant, freestanding commercial real estate properties primarily subject to net leases with high credit quality tenants. The Company focuses on investing in properties that are net leased to credit tenants, which are generally large public companies with investment-grade ratings and other creditworthy tenants. The Company’s long-term business strategy is to continue to acquire a diverse portfolio consisting of approximately 70% long-term leases and 30% medium-term leases, with an average remaining primary lease term of approximately 10 to 12 years. The Company considers properties that are leased on a “medium-term” basis to mean properties originally leased long-term (10 years or longer) that currently have a primary remaining lease duration of generally three to eight years, on average. The Company seeks to acquire granular, self-originated single-tenant net lease assets, which may be purchased through sale-leaseback transactions, small portfolio acquisitions and in connection with build-to-suit opportunities, to the extent they are appropriate in terms of capitalization rate and scale. The Company expects this investment strategy to provide for stable income from credit tenants and for growth opportunities from re-leasing of current below market leases. As of June 30, 2014, the Company owned 3,966 properties comprising 106.8 million square feet of single and multi-tenant retail and commercial space located in 49 states, which include properties owned through consolidated joint ventures. As of June 30, 2014, the rentable space at these properties was 98.8% leased with a weighted average remaining lease term of 9.95 years. As of June 30, 2014, the Company also owned 25 commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”), 14 loans held for investment and, through the Unconsolidated Joint Ventures, had interests in six properties comprising 1.6 million rentable square feet of commercial and retail space.
	Cole Capital – Cole Capital is contractually responsible for managing the Managed REITs’ affairs on a day-to-day basis, identifying and making acquisitions and investments on the Managed REITs’ behalf and recommending to each of the Managed REIT’s respective board of directors an approach for providing investors with liquidity. Cole Capital serves as the dealer manager and distributes shares of common stock for certain Managed REITs and advises them regarding offerings, manages relationships with participating broker-dealers and financial advisors and provides assistance in connection with compliance matters relating to the offerings. Cole Capital receives compensation and reimbursement for services relating to the Managed REITs’ offerings and the investment, management, financing and disposition of their respective assets, as applicable. Cole Capital also develops new REIT offerings, including obtaining regulatory approvals from the SEC, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) and various blue sky jurisdictions for such offerings.
	The Company allocates certain operating expenses, such as audit and legal fees, board of director fees, employee-related costs and benefits and general overhead expenses between its two segments.

	Development Activities
	During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company acquired 18 land parcels, upon which single-tenant commercial properties will be developed. Based on budgeted construction costs, the remaining costs to complete the buildings is estimated to be $15.3 million in aggregate. The land acquired for an aggregate amount of $8.2 million is included in land in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company substantially completed the development of a 450,000 square foot distribution warehouse in Columbia, South Carolina. The build-to-suit project has an estimated total investment of $22.0 million. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had a total investment of $20.4 million, including capitalized interest of $37,000, and an estimated remaining investment of $1.7 million related to the development project.
	Prior to the CapLease Acquisition Date, CapLease entered into an agreement with a major Texas-based developer to develop a 150,000 square foot speculative office building in The Woodlands, Texas, adjacent to and part of the same development as an existing office building owned by CapLease since 2012. Costs of the project, which are budgeted to be $34.0 million, are scheduled to be funded by equity contributions from the Company and its developer partner, and $17.0 million of advances during the construction period under a development loan entered into with Amegy Bank. All equity contributions are scheduled to be borne as follows: the Company, 90%; and the developer, 10%; except for cost overruns, which will be borne 50% by each. Because the Company has a controlling financial interest in the investment, the Company consolidates the investment for financial accounting purposes. The Company has an option to purchase, and the developer the option to sell to the Company, in each case at fair market value, the developer’s interest in the project upon (i) substantial completion of the project and (ii) leases being entered into for 95% of the square footage of the project. Construction activity and funding of the project commenced during the quarter ended September 30, 2013 and was expected to be completed during the second half of 2014. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had a total investment of $20.0 million, including capitalized interest of $68,000, and estimated remaining investment of $14.0 million related to the development project.
	Tenant Concentration
	As of June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, there were no tenants exceeding 10% of consolidated annualized rental income. Annualized rental income for net leases is rental income as of the period reported, which includes the effect of tenant concessions such as free rent, as applicable.
	Geographic Concentration
	As of June 30, 2014, properties located in Texas represented 12.9% of consolidated annualized rental income determined on a straight-line basis. There were no geographic concentrations exceeding 10% of consolidated annualized rental income at June 30, 2013.

Investment Securities, at Fair Value	Note 8 — Investment Securities, at Fair Value
	Investment securities are considered available-for-sale and, therefore, increases or decreases in the fair value of these investments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a component of equity on the consolidated balance sheets unless the securities are considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired at which time the losses are reclassified to expense.
	The following tables detail the unrealized gains and losses on investment securities as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (in thousands):

	CMBS
	In connection with the Cole Merger, the Company acquired 15 CMBS with an estimated aggregate fair value of $151.2 million as of the Cole Acquisition Date. As of June 30, 2014, the Company owned 25 CMBS with an estimated aggregate fair value of $217.3 million. As of June 30, 2014, certain of these securities were pledged as collateral under repurchase agreements (the “Repurchase Agreements”), as discussed in Note 13 — Other Debt. As of December 31, 2013, the Company owned 10 CMBS with an estimated aggregate fair value of $60.6 million.
	As of June 30, 2014, the fair value of one CMBS was below its amortized cost by approximately $46,000. The Company evaluated each of the securities for other-than-temporary impairment at June 30, 2014, and determined that no other-than-temporary impairment charges on its securities were appropriate. The Company believes that none of the unrealized losses on investment securities are other-than-temporary because management expects the Company will receive all contractual principal and interest related to these investments. In addition, the Company is not required, and does not intend, to sell these securities.
	The scheduled maturity of the Company’s CMBS as of June 30, 2014 is as follows (in thousands):

	Investment in Real Estate Fund
	As of June 30, 2014, the Company had investments in a real estate fund that is sponsored by an affiliate of the Former Manager of the Company and which invests primarily in equity securities of other publicly traded REITs. This investment is accounted for under the equity method of accounting because the Company has significant influence but not control.

Loans Held for Investment	Note 9 — Loans Held for Investment
	During the six months ended June 30, 2014, in connection with the Cole Merger, the Company acquired two mortgage notes receivable, each of which is secured by an office building. The mortgage notes had a fair value of $72.3 million as of the Cole Acquisition Date. As of December 31, 2013, the Company owned 12 loans held for investment, which were acquired in connection with the CapLease Merger and consist predominantly of mortgage loans on properties subject to leases to investment-grade tenants. The loans had a fair value of $26.5 million at the CapLease Merger Date. At June 30, 2014, the Company owned 14 loans held for investment, which had a carrying value of $97.6 million and carried interest rates ranging from 5.28% to 7.24%. As of December 31, 2013, the loans held for investment had a carrying value of $26.3 million and carried interest rates ranging from 5.28% to 7.24%. The fair value adjustment is being amortized to interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations over the term of the loan, using the effective interest method.
	The Company’s loan portfolio is comprised primarily of fully amortizing or nearly fully amortizing first mortgage loans on commercial real estate leased to a single tenant. Therefore, the Company’s monitoring of the credit quality of its loans held for investment is focused primarily on an analysis of the tenant, including review of tenant credit ratings (including changes in ratings) and other measures of tenant credit quality, trends in the tenant’s industry and general economic conditions and an analysis of measures of collateral coverage, such as an estimate of the loan’s loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratio (principal amount outstanding divided by estimated value of the property) and its remaining term until maturity. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had no reserve for loan loss.

Fair_Value_of_Financial_Instru

Fair Value of Financial Instruments	6 Months Ended

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Note 11 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments (As Restated)
	The Company determines fair value based on quoted prices when available or through the use of alternative approaches, such as discounting the expected cash flows using market interest rates commensurate with the credit quality and duration of the investment. The guidance defines three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
	Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
	Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset and liability or can be corroborated with observable market data for substantially the entire contractual term of the asset or liability.
	Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability and are consequently not based on market activity, but rather through particular valuation techniques.
	The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the hierarchy requires significant judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter and depending on various factors, it is possible that an asset or liability may be classified differently from quarter to quarter. However, the Company expects that changes in classifications between levels will be infrequent.
	Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with those derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. However, as of June 30, 2014, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of the Company’s derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
	During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, real estate assets with carrying amounts of $3.2 million related to four properties were deemed to be impaired and their carrying amounts were reduced to their estimated fair value, resulting in an impairment charge of $1.6 million, which is included in impairment of real estate on the consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. No impairments were noted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. During the year ended December 31, 2013, real estate assets with carrying amounts of $4.5 million related to two properties were deemed to be impaired and their carrying amounts were reduced to their estimated fair value, resulting in an impairment charge of $3.3 million.
	The Company’s estimated fair values of its real estate assets were primarily based upon an income approach utilizing a present value technique to discount the expected cash flows using market participant assumptions for market rent and terminal values, which are considered to be Level 3 inputs, or based upon recent comparable sales transactions, which are considered to be Level 2 inputs. The aggregate fair value of impaired real estate assets as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $1.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively.
	The following tables present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities (including derivatives that are presented net) measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those instruments fall (in thousands):

	Investments in real estate fund — The fair value of the Company’s investments in real estate fund is based on published pricing.
	CMBS — The fair values of the Company’s CMBS are valued using broker quotations, collateral values, subordination levels and liquidity of the individual securities.
	Derivatives — The valuation of derivative instruments is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, as well as observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. In addition, credit valuation adjustments are incorporated into the fair values to account for the Company’s potential nonperformance risk and the performance risk of the counterparties.
	Series D Preferred Stock embedded derivative — The valuation of this derivative instrument is determined using a binomial option pricing model. Key inputs in the model include the expected term, risk-free interest rate, volatility and dividend yield.
	Contingent consideration arrangements — The contingent consideration arrangements are carried at fair value and are valued using Level 3 inputs. The fair value of the contingent payments related to property acquisitions is determined based on the estimated timing and probability of successfully leasing vacant space subsequent to the Company’s acquisition of certain properties. The estimated fair value of the property-related contingent consideration arrangements totaled $4.8 million as of June 30, 2014 and is included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet in deferred rent, derivative and other liabilities. There were no property-related contingent consideration arrangements as of December 31, 2013.
	The fair value of short-term financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, due to affiliates and accounts payable approximate their carrying value on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets due to their short-term nature and are classified as Level 1 under the fair value hierarchy.
	A review of the fair value hierarchy classification is conducted on a quarterly basis. Changes in the type of inputs may result in a reclassification for certain assets. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the six months ended June 30, 2014.
	The following is a reconciliation of the changes in instruments with Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy for the six months ended June 30, 2014 (in thousands):

Loans held for investment — The fair value of the Company’s fixed-rate loan portfolio is estimated with a discounted cash flow analysis, utilizing scheduled cash flows and discount rates estimated by management to approximate those that a willing buyer and seller might use.
Credit facilities — Management believes that the stated interest rates (which float based on short-term interest rates) approximate market rates. As such, the fair values of these obligations are estimated to be equal to the outstanding principal amounts.
Convertible notes and Corporate bonds — The fair value of the convertible notes and corporate bonds is estimated by an independent third party using market comps from regularly traded bonds with similar terms.
Mortgage notes payable, Trust preferred notes, Other debt and Secured term loan — The fair value of mortgages payable on real estate investments and the secured term loan is estimated by an independent third party using a discounted cash flow analysis, based on management’s estimates of market interest rates.

	In conjunction with the various mergers and portfolio acquisitions, as described in Note 3 — Mergers and Acquisitions (As Restated), aggregate net premiums totaling $137.4 million were recorded upon the assumption of the mortgages for above-market interest rates. Amortization of these net premiums is recorded as a reduction to interest expense over the remaining term of the respective mortgages using the effective-interest method. As of June 30, 2014, there was $101.9 million in unamortized net premiums included in mortgage notes payable, net on the consolidated balance sheet.

	The Company’s mortgage loan agreements generally require restrictions on corporate guarantees and the maintenance of financial covenants including maintenance of certain financial ratios (such as specified debt to equity and debt service coverage ratios). As of June 30, 2014, the Company was in compliance with the debt covenants under the mortgage loan agreements.
	During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company paid off $132.8 million and $855.1 million, respectively, of mortgage notes payable, including notes that were subject to interest rate swap agreements. In connection with the debt repayments, the Company paid prepayment fees totaling $3.8 million and $32.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, which are included in Extinguishment of debt, net in the accompanying statements of operations. In addition, the Company paid $10.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 for the settlement of interest rate swaps that were associated with certain of the mortgage notes, which approximated the fair value of the interest rate swaps. No such swap settlements were paid during the three months ended June 30, 2014. The Company wrote off the deferred financing costs and premiums and discounts associated with these mortgages, which resulted in a loss of $2.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and a gain of $17.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. The recently paid off mortgages had a weighted average remaining interest rate of 4.86% and a weighted average remaining term of 2.5 years.

The fair value of the Original 2018 Notes and Reopened 2018 Notes was determined at issuance to be $299.6 million and $282.1 million, respectively, resulting in a debt discount of $10.4 million and $5.4 million, respectively, with an offset recorded to additional paid-in capital representing the equity component of the notes for the conversion options. The discount is being amortized to interest expense over the expected lives of the 2018 Notes. As of June 30, 2014, the carrying value of the Original 2018 Notes and Reopened 2018 Notes was $301.5 million and $282.7 million, respectively. The holders may elect to convert the 2018 Notes into cash, common stock of the Company or a combination thereof, at the Company’s option, in limited circumstances prior to February 1, 2018 and may convert the 2018 Notes at any time into such consideration on or after February 1, 2018. The initial conversion rate is 59.805 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2018 Notes.

In connection with the termination, the Company recorded $32.6 million as amortization of deferred financing costs associated with the Barclays Facility, which is included in interest expense, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
	Repurchase Agreements
	As part of the Cole Merger, the Company assumed $49.0 million of repurchase agreements secured by a portion of the Company’s CMBS portfolio. The Repurchase Agreements have interest rates ranging from LIBOR plus 1.35% to 1.75% and mature on various dates from July 2014 through September 2014. Upon maturity, the Company may elect to renew the Repurchase Agreements for 90 days periods until the CMBS mature. The CMBS have a weighted average remaining term of 7.72 years. Under the Repurchase Agreements, the lender retains the right to mark the underlying collateral to fair value. A reduction in the value of the pledged assets would require the Company to provide additional collateral to fund margin calls. As of June 30, 2014, the securities held as collateral had a fair value of $144.8 million and an amortized cost of $139.3 million. There was no cash collateral held by the counterparty as of June 30, 2014. The Repurchase Agreements are being accounted for as secured borrowings because the Company maintains effective control of the financed assets. The Repurchase Agreements are non-recourse to the Company and the OP and are included in other debt, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Credit Facilities	Note 14 — Credit Facilities
	Senior Unsecured Credit Facility
	The Company, as guarantor, and the OP, as borrower, are parties to a credit facility with Wells Fargo, National Association, as administrative agent and other lenders party thereto (the “Credit Facility”).
	On June 30, 2014, the Company, as guarantor, and the OP, as borrower, entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Agreement”), which increased the available borrowings, extended the term and decreased the interest rates associated with the prior Credit Facility. The Company and the OP accepted commitments from 20 financial institutions totaling $4.6 billion for the Facility in advance of the execution of the Agreement. The Facility is comprised of a $1.2 billion term loan facility (with a delayed draw component equal to $200.0 million), a $3.15 billion dollar-denominated revolving credit facility and a $250.0 million multi-currency revolving facility (all of which can be borrowed in dollars, at the Company’s discretion). The Credit Facility includes an accordion feature, which, if exercised in full, allows the Company to increase the aggregate commitments under the Credit Facility to $6.0 billion, subject to the receipt of such additional commitments and the satisfaction of certain customary conditions.
	The revolving credit facility generally bears interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus from 1.00% to 1.80% or Base Rate plus 0.00% to 0.80% (based upon the Company’s then current credit rating). “Base Rate” is defined as the highest of the prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.50% or a floating rate based on one month LIBOR, determined on a daily basis. The term loan facility generally bears interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 1.15% to 2.05%, or Base Rate plus 0.15% to 1.05% (based upon the Company’s then current credit rating). The Loans will initially be priced with an applicable margin of 1.35% in the case of LIBOR revolving loans and 1.60% in the case of LIBOR term loans. In addition, the Agreement provides the flexibility for interest rate auctions, pursuant to which, at the Company’s election, the Company may request that lenders make competitive bids to provide revolving loans, which competitive bids may be at pricing levels that differ from the foregoing interest rates.
	The Agreement provides for monthly interest payments under the Credit Facility. In the event of default, at the election of the majority of the lenders (or automatically upon a bankruptcy event of default with respect to the OP or the Company), the commitments of the lenders under the Credit Facility terminate, and payment of any unpaid amounts in respect of the Credit Facility is accelerated. The revolving credit facility and the term loan facility both terminate on June 30, 2018, in each case, unless extended in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. The Agreement provides for a one-year extension option with respect to each of the revolving credit facility and the term loan facility, exercisable at the Company’s election and subject to certain customary conditions, as well as certain customary “amend and extend” provisions. At any time, upon timely notice by the OP and subject to any breakage fees, the OP may prepay borrowings under the Credit Facility (subject to certain limitations applicable to the prepayment of any loans obtained through an interest rate auction, as described above). The OP incurs a fee equal to 0.15% to 0.25% per annum (based upon the Company’s then current credit rating) multiplied by the commitments (whether or not utilized) in respect of the dollar revolving credit facility and the multi-currency credit facility. The OP incurs an unused fee of 0.25% per annum on the unused amount of the delayed draw term loan commitments. In addition, the OP incurs customary administrative agent, letter of credit issuance, letter of credit fronting, extension and other fees.
	The Credit Facility requires restrictions on corporate guarantees, as well as the maintenance of financial covenants, including the maintenance of certain financial ratios (such as specified debt to equity and debt service coverage ratios) and the maintenance of a minimum net worth. At June 30, 2014, the OP was in compliance with the debt covenants under the Credit Facility.
	In connection with the Agreement, the Company expensed $3.9 million of unamortized deferred financing costs incurred in connection with the original Credit Facility, which is included in interest expense, net in the accompanying consolidated unaudited statements of operations.
	As of June 30, 2014, the outstanding balance on the Credit Facility was $1.9 billion, of which $881.0 million bore a floating interest rate of 1.50%. The remaining outstanding balance on the Credit Facility of $1.0 billion is fixed through the use of derivative instruments used to hedge interest rate volatility. Including the spread, which can vary based on the Company’s credit rating, the interest rate on this portion was 2.84% at June 30, 2014. At June 30, 2014, a maximum of $2.7 billion was available to the OP for future borrowings, subject to borrowing availability. The credit facility matures on June 30, 2018.
	Repayment of Previous Credit Facilities
	As part of the ARCT IV Merger, the Company assumed an $800.0 million senior unsecured credit facility with various lenders, with Regions Bank acting as the administrative agent (the “ARCT IV Credit Facility”). As of the date of the ARCT IV Merger, there was $760.0 million outstanding under the ARCT IV Credit Facility, which consisted of a $300.0 million term loan facility and $460.0 million under the revolving credit facility. In connection with the ARCT IV Merger, the Company prepaid all of its loans pursuant to, and terminated all commitments available under, the ARCT IV Credit Facility.
	As part of the CapLease Merger, the Company assumed an unsecured credit facility with Wells Fargo, National Association, which had commitments of up to $150.0 million. In February 2014, such credit facility was amended and certain modifications were made to the terms of the agreement (the “CapLease Credit Facility”). On June 6, 2014, the Company repaid the outstanding balance of $150.0 million and terminated the credit facility agreement. No prepayment premium or penalty was paid in connection with the termination of the CapLease Credit Facility.
	On February 28, 2013, the Company repaid all of the outstanding borrowings under its previous senior secured revolving credit facility in the amount of $124.6 million and the credit agreement for such facility was terminated. The average interest rate on the borrowings during the period the balance was outstanding was 3.11%. On February 14, 2013, simultaneous with entering into the Credit Facility, the Company terminated its then effective unsecured credit facility agreement, which had been unused.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivatives and Hedging Activities	Note 15 — Derivatives and Hedging Activities (As Restated)
	Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
	The Company may use derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, caps, options, floors and other interest rate derivative contracts, to hedge all or a portion of the interest rate risk associated with its borrowings. The principal objective of such arrangements is to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with the Company’s operating and financial structure as well as to hedge specific anticipated transactions. The Company does not intend to utilize derivatives for speculative or other purposes other than interest rate risk management. The use of derivative financial instruments carries certain risks, including the risk that the counterparties to these contractual arrangements are not able to perform under the agreements. To mitigate this risk, the Company only enters into derivative financial instruments with counterparties with high credit ratings and with major financial institutions with which the Company and its affiliates may also have other financial relationships. The Company does not anticipate that any of the counterparties will fail to meet their obligations.
	Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
	The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps and collars as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Interest rate collars designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts if interest rates rise above the cap strike rate on the contract and payments of variable-rate amounts if interest rates fall below the floor strike rate on the contract.
	The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with variable-rate debt. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings.
	Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. During the next 12 months, the Company estimates that an additional $10.5 million will be reclassified from other comprehensive income as an increase to interest expense. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company accelerated the reclassification of amounts in other comprehensive income to earnings as a result of the hedged forecasted transactions becoming probable not to occur.
	As of June 30, 2014, the Company had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk (dollar amounts in thousands):
	Interest Rate Derivative	Number of				Notional Amount
		Instruments
	Interest rate swaps		17			$	1,174,367

	In January 2014, the Company entered into an interest rate lock agreement with a notional amount of $250.0 million (the “Treasury Lock”). The Treasury Lock, which had an original maturity date of February 12, 2014, was entered into to hedge part of the Company’s interest rate exposure associated with the variability in future cash flows attributable to changes in the ten-year U.S. treasury rates related to the planned issuance of debt securities in conjunction with the Cole Merger. In connection with the Company’s bond offering in February 2014, the Company settled the Treasury Lock, which was accounted for as cash flow hedge, for $3.9 million, which was recorded to other comprehensive loss and will be amortized into earnings over the ten year term of the Treasury Lock. The Company amortized $0.1 million into interest expense the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 related to the Treasury Lock.
	Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
	Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage the Company’s exposure to interest rate movements and other identified risks but do not meet the requirements to be classified as hedging instruments. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated in hedging relationships are recorded directly in earnings and were approximately a gain of $14.2 million and a gain of $7.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. The Company recorded a loss of $31.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 relating to the contingent value rights.
	As of June 30, 2014, the Company had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were not designated as qualifying hedging relationships (dollar amounts in thousands):

	Credit-risk-related Contingent Features
	The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company either defaults or is capable of being declared in default on any of its indebtedness, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations.
	As of June 30, 2014, the fair value of the interest rate derivatives in a net liability position, including accrued interest but excluding any adjustment for nonperformance risk related to these agreements, was $14.6 million. As of June 30, 2014, the Company has not posted any collateral related to these agreements and was not in breach of any agreement provisions. If the Company had breached any of these provisions, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their aggregate termination value of $14.6 million at June 30, 2014.

	Litigation
	In the ordinary course of business, the Company may become subject to litigation or claims. There are no material legal proceedings pending or known to be contemplated against the Company, except as follows:
	ARCT III Litigation Matters
	After the announcement of the ARCT III Merger Agreement on December 17, 2012, Randell Quaal filed a putative class action lawsuit filed on January 30, 2013 against the Company, the OP, ARCT III, ARCT III OP, the members of the board of directors of ARCT III and certain subsidiaries of the Company in the Supreme Court of the State of New York. The plaintiff alleges, among other things, that the board of ARCT III breached its fiduciary duties in connection with the transactions contemplated under the ARCT III Merger Agreement. In February 2013, the parties agreed to a memorandum of understanding regarding settlement of all claims asserted on behalf of the alleged class of ARCT III stockholders. In connection with the settlement contemplated by that memorandum of understanding, the class action and all claims asserted therein will be dismissed, subject to court approval. The proposed settlement terms required ARCT III to make certain additional disclosures related to the ARCT III Merger, which were included in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by ARCT III with the SEC on February 21, 2013. The memorandum of understanding also added that the parties will enter into a stipulation of settlement, which will be subject to customary conditions, including confirmatory discovery and court approval following notice to ARCT III’s stockholders. If the parties enter into a stipulation of settlement, a hearing will be scheduled at which the court will consider the fairness, reasonableness and adequacy of the settlement. There can be no assurance that the parties will ultimately enter into a stipulation of settlement, that the court will approve any proposed settlement, or that any eventual settlement will be under the same terms as those contemplated by the memorandum of understanding, therefore any losses that may be incurred to settle this matter are not determinable.
	CapLease Litigation Matters
	Since the announcement of the CapLease Merger Agreement on May 28, 2013, the following lawsuits have been filed:
	On May 28, 2013, Jacquelyn Mizani filed a putative class action lawsuit in the Supreme Court for the State of New York against the Company, the OP, Safari Acquisition LLC, CapLease, CapLease LP, CLF OP General Partner, LLC and the members of the CapLease board of directors (the “Mizani Action”). The complaint alleges, among other things, that the merger agreement at issue was the product of breaches of fiduciary duty by the CapLease directors because the proposed merger transaction (the “CapLease Transaction”) purportedly does not provide for full and fair value for the CapLease shareholders, the CapLease Transaction allegedly was not the result of a competitive bidding process, the merger agreement allegedly contains coercive deal protection measures and the merger agreement and the CapLease Transaction purportedly were approved as a result of improper self-dealing by certain defendants who would receive certain alleged employment compensation benefits and continued employment pursuant to the merger agreement. The complaint also alleges that CapLease, the Company, the OP and Safari Acquisition LLC aided and abetted the CapLease directors’ alleged breaches of fiduciary duty.
	On July 3, 2013, Fred Carach filed a putative class action and derivative lawsuit in the Supreme Court for the State of New York against the Company, the OP, Safari Acquisition LLC, CapLease, CapLease LP, CLF OP General Partner, LLC and the members of the CapLease board of directors (the “Carach Action”). The complaint alleges, among other things, that the merger agreement was the product of breaches of fiduciary duty by the CapLease directors because the merger purportedly does not provide for full and fair value for the CapLease shareholders, the CapLease Transaction allegedly was not the result of a competitive bidding process, the merger agreement allegedly contains coercive deal protection measures and the merger agreement and the CapLease Transaction purportedly were approved as a result of improper self-dealing by certain defendants who would receive certain alleged employment compensation benefits and continued employment pursuant to the merger agreement. The complaint also alleges that with respect to the Registration Statement and draft joint proxy statement issued in connection with the proposed CapLease Transaction on July 2, 2013, that disclosures made therein were insufficient or otherwise improper. The complaint also alleges that CapLease LP, CLF OP General Partner, LLC, the Company, the OP and Safari Acquisition LLC aided and abetted the CapLease directors’ alleged breaches of fiduciary duty.
	On June 25, 2013, Dewey Tarver filed a putative class action and derivative lawsuit in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City against the Company, the OP, Safari Acquisition LLC, CapLease, CapLease LP, CLF OP General Partner, LLC and the members of the CapLease board of directors (the “Tarver Action”). The complaint alleges, among other things, that the merger agreement was the product of breaches of fiduciary duty by the CapLease directors because the CapLease Transaction purportedly does not provide for full and fair value for the CapLease shareholders, the CapLease Transaction allegedly was not the result of a competitive bidding process, the merger agreement allegedly contains coercive deal protection measures and the merger agreement and the CapLease Transaction purportedly were approved as a result of improper self-dealing by certain defendants who would receive certain alleged employment compensation benefits and continued employment pursuant to the merger agreement. The complaint also alleges that CapLease, CapLease LP, CLF OP General Partner, LLC, the Company, the OP and Safari Acquisition, LLC aided and abetted the CapLease directors’ alleged breaches of fiduciary duty.
	Counsel who filed each of these three cases reached an agreement with each other as to who will serve as lead plaintiff and lead plaintiffs’ counsel in the cases and where they will be prosecuted. Thus, on August 9, 2013, counsel in the Tarver Action filed a motion for stay in the Baltimore Court, informing the court that they had agreed to join and participate in the prosecution of the Mizani and Carach Actions in the New York Court. The Defendants consented to the stay of the Tarver Action in the Baltimore Court, and on September 5, 2013, Judge Pamela J. White issued an order granting that stay. Consequently, there has been no subsequent activity in the Baltimore Court in the Tarver Action. Also on August 9, 2013, all counsel involved in the Mizani and Carach Actions filed a joint stipulation in the New York Court, reflecting agreement among all parties that the Mizani and Carach Actions should be consolidated (jointly, “the Consolidated Actions”) and setting out a schedule for early motion practice in response to the complaints filed (the “Consolidation Stipulation”). Pursuant to the Consolidation Stipulation, an amended complaint was also filed in the New York court on August 9, 2013 and was designated as the operative complaint in the Consolidated Actions (“Operative Complaint”). Pursuant to the Consolidation Stipulation, all Defendants filed a motion to dismiss all claims asserted in the Operative Complaint on September 23, 2013. Plaintiffs’ response was due on or before November 7, 2013. On November 7, 2013, Plaintiffs filed a motion seeking leave to file a second amended complaint, which the Defendants have opposed. On March 24, 2014, Plaintiffs’ counsel in the Consolidated Actions dismissed those claims without prejudice. Consequently, only the Tarver Action currently remains pending among these cases, although it remains stayed.
	On October 8, 2013, John Poling filed a putative class action lawsuit in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City against the Company, the OP, Safari Acquisition LLC, CapLease, CapLease LP, CLF OP General Partner, LLC and the members of the CapLease board of directors (the “Poling Action”). The complaint alleges that the merger agreement breaches the terms of the CapLease’ 8.375% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series B”) and the terms of the 7.25% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series C”) and is in violation of the Series B Articles Supplementary and the Series C Articles Supplementary. The Complaint alleges claims for breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty against the CapLease entities and the CapLease board of directors. The complaint also alleges that the Company, the OP and Safari Acquisition, LLC aided and abetted CapLease and the CapLease directors’ alleged breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty.
	On November 13, 2013, all counsel involved in the Poling Action filed a joint stipulation, reflecting agreement among all parties concerning a schedule for early motion practice in response to the complaint filed (the “Scheduling Stipulation”). Pursuant to the Scheduling Stipulation, all Defendants filed a motion to dismiss all claims asserted in the Operative Complaint on December 20, 2013. Plaintiff has filed an opposition to that motion, which remains pending.
	Cole Litigation Matters
	Three putative class action and/or derivative lawsuits, which were filed in March and April 2013, assert claims for breach of fiduciary duty, abuse of control, corporate waste, unjust enrichment, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty and other claims relating to the merger between a wholly owned subsidiary of Cole and Cole Holdings Corporation, pursuant to which Cole became a self-managed REIT. On October 22, 2013, the Circuit Court for Baltimore City granted all defendants’ motion to dismiss with prejudice the action pending before the court, but the plaintiffs have appealed that dismissal. The other two lawsuits, which also purport to assert shareholder class action claims under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), are pending in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss both complaints on January 10, 2014. Subsequently, both of those lawsuits have been stayed by the Court pursuant to a joint request made by all parties pending final approval of the consolidated Baltimore Cole Merger Actions described below.
	To date, eleven lawsuits have been filed in connection with the Cole Merger. Two of these suits - Wunsch v. Cole, et al (“Wunsch”), No. 13-CV-2186, and Sobon v. Cole, et al (“Sobon”) - were filed as putative class actions on October 25, 2013 and November 18, 2013, respectively, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona. Between October 30, 2013 and November 14, 2013, eight other putative stockholder class action or derivative lawsuits were filed in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland, captioned as: (i) Operman v. Cole, et al (“Operman”); (ii) Branham v. Cole, et al (“Branham”); (iii) Wilfong v. Cole, et al. (“Wilfong”); (iv) Polage v. Cole, et al. (“Polage”); (v) Corwin v. Cole, et al (“Corwin”); (vi) Green v. Cole, et al (“Green”); (vii) Flynn v. Cole, et al (“Flynn”) and (viii) Morgan v. Cole, et al. (“Morgan”). All of these lawsuits name the Company, Cole and Cole’s board of directors as defendants; Wunsch, Sobon, Branham, Wilfong, Flynn, Green, Morgan and Polage also name CREInvestments, LLC, a Maryland limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Cole, as a defendant. All of the named plaintiffs claim to be Cole stockholders and purport to represent all holders of Cole’s stock. Each complaint generally alleges that the individual defendants breached fiduciary duties owed to plaintiff and the other public stockholders of Cole in connection with the Cole Merger, and that certain entity defendants aided and abetted those breaches. The breach of fiduciary duty claims asserted include claims that the Cole Merger does not provide for full and fair value for the Cole shareholders, that the Cole Merger was the product of an “inadequate sale process,” that the Cole Merger Agreement contains coercive deal protection measures and the Cole Merger Agreement and that the Cole Merger were approved as a result of or in a manner which facilitates improper self-dealing by certain defendants. In addition, the Flynn, Corwin, Green, Wilfong, Polage and Branham lawsuits claim that the individual defendants breached their duty of candor to shareholders and the Branham and Polage lawsuits assert claims derivatively against the individual defendants for their alleged breach of fiduciary duties owed to Cole. The Polage lawsuit also asserts derivative claims for waste of corporate assets and unjust enrichment. The Wunsch and Sobon lawsuits also assert claims against Cole and the individual defendants under Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), based on allegations that the proxy materials omitted to disclose allegedly material information, and a claim against the individual defendants under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act based on the same allegations. Among other remedies, the complaints seek unspecified money damages, costs and attorneys’ fees.
	In January 2014, the parties to the eight lawsuits filed in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland (“the consolidated Baltimore Cole Merger Actions”) entered into a memorandum of understanding regarding settlement of all claims asserted on behalf of the alleged class of Cole stockholders. In connection with the settlement contemplated by that memorandum of understanding, the class action and all claims asserted therein will be dismissed, subject to court approval. The proposed settlement terms required Cole to make certain additional disclosures related to the Cole Merger, which were included in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Cole with the SEC on January 14, 2014. The memorandum of understanding also contemplated that the parties will enter into a stipulation of settlement, which will be subject to customary conditions, including confirmatory discovery and court approval following notice to Cole’s stockholders. If the parties enter into a stipulation of settlement, a hearing will be scheduled at which the court will consider the fairness, reasonableness and adequacy of the settlement. There can be no assurance that the parties will ultimately enter into a stipulation of settlement, that the court will approve any proposed settlement, or that any eventual settlement will be under the same terms as those contemplated by the memorandum of understanding, therefore any losses that may be incurred to settle this matter are not determinable.
	The Sobon lawsuit was voluntarily dismissed on February 3, 2014. The Company believes that the Wunsch lawsuit in connection with the Cole Merger is without merit and that it has substantial meritorious defenses to the claims set forth in the complaint.
	On December 27, 2013, Realistic Partners filed a putative class action lawsuit against the Company and the members of its board of directors in the Supreme Court for the State of New York. Cole was later added as a defendant also. The plaintiff alleges, among other things, that the board of the Company breached its fiduciary duties in connection with the transactions contemplated under the Cole Merger Agreement and that Cole aided and abetted those breaches. In January 2014, the parties entered into a memorandum of understanding regarding settlement of all claims asserted on behalf of the alleged class of the Company’s stockholders. In connection with the settlement contemplated by that memorandum of understanding, the class action and all claims asserted therein will be dismissed, subject to court approval. The proposed settlement terms required the Company to make certain additional disclosures related to the Cole Merger, which were included in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on January 17, 2014. The memorandum of understanding also contemplated that the parties will enter into a stipulation of settlement, which will be subject to customary conditions, including confirmatory discovery and court approval following notice to the Company’s stockholders. If the parties enter into a stipulation of settlement, a hearing will be scheduled at which the court will consider the fairness, reasonableness and adequacy of the settlement. There can be no assurance that the parties will ultimately enter into a stipulation of settlement, that the court will approve any proposed settlement, or that any eventual settlement will be under the same terms as those contemplated by the memorandum of understanding, therefore any losses that may be incurred to settle this matter are not determinable.
	The Company maintains directors and officers liability insurance, which the Company believes should provide coverage to the Company and its officers and directors for most or all of any costs, settlements or judgments resulting from the above mentioned lawsuits.
	Contractual Lease Obligations
	The following table reflects the minimum base rental cash payments due from the Company over the next five years and thereafter for certain ground and office lease obligations (in thousands):
		Future Minimum
		Base Rent Payments
	July 1, 2014 - December 31, 2014	$	6,845
	2015		12,922
	2016		11,575
	2017		10,248
	2018		7,918
	Thereafter		83,734
	Total	$	133,242
	Purchase Commitments
	Cole Capital enters into purchase and sale agreements and deposits funds into escrow towards the purchase of such acquisitions, some of which are expected to be assigned to one of the Managed REITs at or prior to the closing of the respective acquisition. As of June 30, 2014, the Company was a party to 70 purchase and sale agreements with unaffiliated third-party sellers to purchase a 100% interest in 416 properties, subject to meeting certain criteria, for an aggregate purchase price of $1.5 billion, exclusive of closing costs. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had $41.8 million of property escrow deposits held by escrow agents in connection with these future property acquisitions, which may be forfeited if the transactions are not completed under certain circumstances. The Company will be reimbursed by the assigned Managed REIT for amounts escrowed when it acquires a property.
	Environmental Matters
	In connection with the ownership and operation of real estate, the Company may potentially be liable for costs and damages related to environmental matters. The Company has not been notified by any governmental authority of any non-compliance, liability or other claim, and is not aware of any other environmental condition, in each case, that it believes will have a material adverse effect on the results of operations.

Equity [Abstract]
Preferred and Common Stock	Note 18 — Preferred and Common Stock
	Series D and Series E Preferred Stock
	On September 12, 2013, the Company’s board of directors unanimously approved the issuance of Series D Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series D Preferred Stock”) and the issuance of Series E Cumulative Preferred Stock (“Series E Preferred Stock”).
	On September 15, 2013, the Company entered into definitive purchase agreements pursuant to which it agreed to issue Series D Preferred Stock and common stock to certain institutional holders promptly following the close of the CapLease Merger, via a private placement. Pursuant to the definitive purchase agreements, the Company issued approximately 21.7 million shares of Series D Preferred Stock and 15.1 million shares of common stock, for gross proceeds of $288.0 million and $186.0 million, respectively, on November 12, 2013. The Series D Preferred Stock pays dividends at the rate of 5.81% per annum on its face amount of $13.59 per share (equivalent to $0.79 per share on an annualized basis). The Series D Preferred Stock is redeemable by the Company on August 31, 2014 (the “Redemption Date”). Subsequent to that date, or in certain other circumstances, the Series D Preferred Stock is convertible into common stock or Series E Preferred Stock or redeemable into cash, at the discretion of the Company upon such request for conversion by the holders of Series D Preferred Stock.
	In the event of a liquidation, the holders of Series D Preferred Stock are entitled to receive the greater of (a) $13.59 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends (the “Liquidation Preference”) plus a 20% premium; and (b) an amount the Series D Preferred Stock holders would have received had they converted into shares of common stock immediately prior to the liquidation event.
	If the Company elects to redeem the Series D Preferred Stock on the Redemption Date, the Company shall pay the greater of: (a) the product of the number of Series D Preferred Stock and the 102% of the Liquidation Preference; and (b) the product of the shares of common stock that would be issued if the Series D Preferred Stock converted immediately prior to the Redemption Date and 102% of the one-day value-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the common stock.
	At any time after the Redemption Date, the holders of Series D Preferred Stock may convert some or all of their outstanding Series D Preferred Stock into shares of common stock. Upon such an election to convert, the Company may elect the following settlement options: (1) convert the shares of Series D Preferred Stock into the number of fully paid and non-assessable common stock obtained by dividing the aggregate Liquidation Preference of such Series D Preferred Stock by the Conversion Price, as defined below; (2) convert the shares of Series D Preferred Stock into an equal number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock, additional shares of Series E Preferred Stock may be issued under certain circumstances; or (3) an amount equal to the product of the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock and the Cash Conversion Price, as defined below.
	The Conversion Price shall be the lowest of (i) a 2% discount to the VWAP of the common stock for the 10 Trading Days prior to the Conversion Election Date; (ii) a 2% discount to the closing price on the Conversion Election Date; and (iii) $13.59. The Cash Conversion Price shall be the greater of: (i) 102% of the Liquidation Preference and (ii) the one-day VWAP of the common stock on the date of the election.
	The Company has concluded that the conversion option qualifies as a derivative and should be bifurcated from the host instrument. At issuance, the conversion option had a fair value of $18.7 million. As of June 30, 2014, the fair value of the conversion option had a fair value of $11.5 million, compared to a fair value of $16.7 million as of December 31, 2013. The Company recorded a gain of $5.2 million due to the change in fair value of the conversion option in gain (loss) on derivative instruments, net in the consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014.
	As the holders of Series D Preferred Stock are entitled to receive liquidation preferences that other equity holders are not entitled to, the Company determined the Series D Preferred Stock meets the definition of a deemed liquidation event and therefore should be classified as temporary equity under U.S. GAAP. At the date of issuance, the fair value of the Series D Preferred Stock was $269.3 million. As of June 30, 2014, the Company has determined that a liquidation event is not probable; therefore, the Company has concluded that the Series D Preferred Stock is not currently redeemable or likely to become redeemable pursuant to a liquidation event. As such, the Company has not accreted the initial value of the Series D Preferred Stock.
	As of June 30, 2014, there were 21,735,008 authorized and issued shares of Series D Preferred Stock and no authorized and issued shares of Series E Preferred Stock, respectively.
	Series F Preferred Stock
	On October 6, 2013, in connection with the modification to the ARCT IV Merger Agrement, the Company’s board of directors unanimously approved the issuance of Series F Preferred Stock. Upon consummation of the ARCT IV Merger on January 3, 2014, 42.2 million shares of Series F Preferred Stock were issued to ARCT IV shareholders and 0.7 million units of Series F OP Units were issued to the ARCT IV OP Unit holders. Subsequent to original issuance and through June 30, 2014, 0.5 million Series F OP Units were converted into an equivalent number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock. As of June 30, 2014, there were 42.7 million shares of Series F Preferred Stock and 0.2 million Series F OP Units issued and outstanding.
	The Series F Preferred Stock pays cumulative cash dividends at the rate of 6.70% per annum on its liquidation preference of $25.00 per share (equivalent to $1.675 per share on an annual basis). The Series F Preferred Stock is not redeemable by the Company before the fifth anniversary of the date on which such Series F Preferred Stock is issued (the “Initial Redemption Date”), except under circumstances intended to preserve the Company’s status as a real estate investment trust for federal and/or state income tax purposes and except upon the occurrence of a change of control. On and after the Initial Redemption Date, the Company may, at its option, redeem shares of the Series F Preferred Stock, in whole or from time to time in part, at a redemption price of $25.00 per share plus, subject to exceptions, any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to the date fixed for redemption. The shares of Series F Preferred Stock have no stated maturity, are not subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption and will remain outstanding indefinitely unless the Company redeems or otherwise repurchases them or they become convertible and are converted into common stock (or, if applicable, alternative consideration). The Series F Preferred Stock trades on the NASDAQ under the symbol “ARCPP.”
	Increases in Authorized Common Stock
	On December 9, 2013, the Company filed articles of amendment to its charter to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock to 1.5 billion shares.
	Offerings
	On August 1, 2012, the Company filed a $500.0 million universal shelf registration statement and a resale registration statement with the SEC. Each registration statement became effective on August 17, 2012. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had issued 2.1 million shares of common stock and no preferred stock, debt or equity-linked security had been issued under the universal shelf registration statement. The resale registration statement, as amended, registers the resale of up to 1,882,248 shares of common stock issued in connection with any future conversion of certain currently outstanding restricted shares, convertible preferred stock or limited partnership interests in the OP.
	In January 2013, the Company commenced its at-the-market equity program (the “ATM”) in which it may from time to time offer and sell shares of its common stock having aggregate offering proceeds of up to $60.0 million. The shares will be issued pursuant to the Company’s universal shelf registration statement.
	On March 14, 2013, the Company filed a universal automatic shelf registration statement that was automatically declared effective and achieved well-known seasoned issuer (“WKSI”) status. As a result of the delayed filing of certain of our periodic reports with the SEC, we are not currently eligible to use a shelf registration statement for the offer and sale of our securities.
	On May 28, 2014, the Company closed on an underwriting agreement relating to a public offering of 138.0 million shares of common stock at a price of $12.00 per share. The net proceeds to the Company were approximately $1.59 billion after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering-related expenses, which include a $2.0 million structuring fee paid to RCS. See Note 25 — Subsequent Events (As Restated) for further discussion.
	Dividends
	In October 2011, the Company began paying dividends on the 15th day of each month to stockholders of record on the eighth day of such month. On October 23, 2013, the board of directors of the Company authorized an annualized dividend per share of $1.00, which became effective February 7, 2014. The per share annualized dividend of $1.00 reflects an increase of $0.06 per share from an annualized dividend of $0.94 per share. The annualized dividend rate at June 30, 2014 was $1.00 per share.
	Common Stock Repurchases
	On August 20, 2013, the Company’s board of directors reauthorized its $250.0 million share repurchase program, which was originally authorized in February 2013. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company did not repurchase any shares of common stock under the share repurchase program.
	Upon the closing of the ARCT III Merger, on February 28, 2013, 29.2 million shares, or 16.5% of the then-outstanding shares of ARCT III’s common stock, were paid in cash at $12.00 per share, which is equivalent to 27.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock based on the ARCT III Exchange Ratio. In addition, 148.1 million shares of ARCT III’s common stock were converted to shares of the Company’s common stock at the ARCT III Exchange Ratio, resulting in an additional 140.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding after the exchange.

Equity-based Compensation (As Restated)	Note 19 — Equity-based Compensation (As Restated)
	Equity Plan
	The Company has adopted the American Realty Capital Properties, Inc. Equity Plan (the “Equity Plan”), which provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares of common stock, restricted stock units, dividend equivalent rights and other stock-based awards to the Company’s and its affiliates’ non-executive directors, officers and other employees and advisors or consultants who are providing services to the Company or its affiliates.
	The Company authorized and reserved a total number of shares equal to 10.0% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock (on a fully diluted basis assuming the redemption of all OP Units for shares of common stock) to be issued at any time under the Equity Plan for equity incentive awards excluding an initial grant of 167,400 shares to the Former Manager in connection with the IPO, all of which were vested as of June 30, 2014. As of June 30, 2014, the Company has awarded 6,796,599 shares under the Equity Plan. In the first quarter of 2014, the Company issued 282,854 shares to its non-executive directors pursuant to the Equity Plan. Upon issuance, the documentation provided for accelerated vesting of shares upon voluntary resignation of the independent directors. As a result, the Company determined there was no required service period and $3.6 million has been recorded as expense during the six months ended June 30, 2014. However, based upon the findings of the Audit Committee and the Company in connection with the recent review of the Company’s previously filed financial statements, the Company subsequently modified such awards to provide that voluntary resignation would not accelerate the vesting of such awards.
	The fair value of restricted common stock awards awarded to employees under the Equity Plan is generally determined on the grant date using the closing stock price on NASDAQ that day and is expensed over the requisite service period. The fair value of restricted common stock awarded to non-employees under the Equity Plan is measured based upon the fair value of goods or services received or the equity instruments granted, whichever is more reliably determinable and is typically expensed in full at the date of grant.
	Director Stock Plan
	The Company has adopted a Non-Executive Director Stock Plan (the “Director Stock Plan”), which provides for the grant of restricted shares of common stock to each of the Company’s independent directors, each of whom is a non-executive director. Awards of restricted stock will vest in accordance with the award agreements, which generally provide for ratable vesting over a five-year period following the date of grant. The awards of restricted stock provide for “distribution equivalents” with respect to this restricted stock, whether or not vested, at the same time and in the same amounts as distributions are paid to the stockholders. At June 30, 2014, a total of 99,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance under the Director Stock Plan. As of June 30, 2014, the Company has awarded 45,000 shares under the Director Stock Plan.
	The fair value of restricted common stock awards under the Director Stock Plan is determined on the grant date using the closing stock price on NASDAQ that day.
	ARCT IV Restricted Share Plan
	ARCT IV had an employee and director incentive restricted share plan (the “RSP”), which provided for the automatic grant of 1,333 restricted shares of common stock to each of its independent directors without any further action by ARCT IV’s board of directors or its stockholders on the date of initial election to the board of directors and on the date of each annual stockholder’s meeting thereafter. Restricted stock issued to independent directors vested over a five-year period following the date of grant in increments of 20% per annum. The RSP provided ARCT IV with the ability to grant awards of restricted shares to its directors, officers and employees (if ARCT IV ever had employees), employees of the ARCT IV Advisor and its affiliates, employees of entities that provided services to ARCT IV, directors of the ARCT IV Advisor or of entities that provided services to ARCT IV, certain consultants to ARCT IV and the ARCT IV Advisor and its affiliates or to entities that provided services to ARCT IV.
	Immediately prior to the effective time of the ARCT IV Merger, each then-outstanding share of ARCT IV restricted stock fully vested. All shares of ARCT IV common stock then-outstanding as a result of the full vesting of shares of ARCT IV restricted stock, and the satisfaction of any applicable withholding taxes, received shares of the Company’s common stock based on the ARCT IV Exchange Ratio and additional consideration pursuant to the terms of the ARCT IV Merger Agreement.
	The following table details the restricted shares activity within the Equity Plan and Director Stock Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2014:

	For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, compensation expense, excluding Outperformance Bonus expense related to the OPP, for restricted shares was $2.9 million and $20.4 million, respectively, which is recorded in general and administrative on the consolidated statement of operations.
	Compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 includes $11.4 million of compensation expense recorded for 0.8 million restricted shares granted to affiliates.
	Multi-Year Outperformance Plan
	Upon consummation of the ARCT III Merger, the Company entered into the 2013 Advisor Multi-Year Outperformance Agreement (the “OPP”) with the Former Manager, whereby the Former Manager was able to potentially earn compensation upon the attainment of stockholder value creation targets.
	Under the OPP, the Former Manager was granted 8,241,101 long-term incentive plan units of the OP (“LTIP Units”), which could be earned or forfeited based on the Company’s total return to stockholders (including both share price appreciation and common stock distributions) (“Total Return”), for the three-year period that commenced on December 11, 2012.
	Pursuant to previous authorization of the Company’s board of directors, as a result of the termination of the Management Agreement, all 8,241,101 LTIP Units became fully earned, vested and convertible into OP units upon the consummation of the Company’s transition to self-management on January 8, 2014 and were converted into OP Units on such date. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded expenses of $1.6 million for the LTIP Units under the OPP, which is recorded in general and administrative in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded expenses of $3.1 million and $3.7 million, respectively, for the LTIP Units under the OPP, which is recorded in equity-based compensation in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2014, all LTIP Units under the OPP were earned and $93.9 million of the expense has been allocated to the non-controlling interest on the consolidated balance sheet.
	New Multi-Year Outperformance Plan
	On October 3, 2013, the Company approved a multi-year outperformance plan (the “New OPP”), which became effective upon the Company’s transition to self-management, which occurred on January 8, 2014. Under the New OPP, individual agreements were entered into between the Company and the participants selected by the Company’s board of directors (the “Participants”) that set forth the Participant’s participation percentage in the New OPP and the number of LTIP Units of the OP subject to the award (“OPP Agreements”). Under the New OPP and the OPP Agreements, the Participants are eligible to earn performance-based bonus awards equal to the Participant’s participation percentage of a pool that is funded up to a maximum award opportunity (the “New OPP Cap”) of approximately 5% of the Company’s equity market capitalization at the time of the approval of the New OPP (“the Initial Market Cap”).
	After the Audit Committee’s and the Company’s review of the OPP, such parties have determined that the Compensation Committee’s intention in respect of the OPP was that the maximum award pool opportunity should have been $120.0 million. In October 2013, the Compensation Committee approved an aggregate award pool to be measured by the Company’s market capitalization as of the date of such approval; however, the OPP was definitively documented to measure market capitalization on a pro forma basis as of the Company’s transition to self-management (including the pro forma impact of various transactions expected to be consummated prior to the Company’s transition to self-management on January 8, 2014), which was calculated in December 2013.
	Subject to the New OPP Cap, the pool will equal an amount to be determined based on the Company’s level of achievement of total return to stockholders, including both share price appreciation and common stock distributions (“Total Return”), as measured against an absolute hurdle and against a peer group of companies for a three-year performance period that commenced on October 1, 2013 (the “Performance Period”), with valuation dates on which a portion of the LTIP Units up to a specified amount of the New OPP Cap could be earned on the last day of each 12-month period during the Performance Period (each an “Annual Period”) and the initial 24-month period of the Performance Period (the “Interim Period”), as follows:
					Performance	Annual Period		Interim Period
					Period
	Absolute Component: 4% of any excess Total Return attained above an absolute hurdle measured from the beginning of such period:				21%	7%		14%
	Relative Component: 4% of any excess Total Return attained above the median Total Return for the performance period of the Peer Group(1), subject to a ratable sliding scale factor as follows based on achievement of cumulative Total Return measured from the beginning of such period:
	•		100% will be earned if cumulative Total Return achieved is at least:		18%	6%		12%
	•		50% will be earned if a cumulative Total Return achieved is:		0%	0%		0%
	•		0% will be earned if cumulative Total Return achieved is less than:		0%	0%		0%
	•		a percentage from 50% to 100% calculated by linear interpolation will be earned if cumulative Total Return achieved is if between:		0% - 18%	0% - 6%		0% - 12%
	-1	The “Peer Group” is comprised of the following companies: EPR Properties; Getty Realty Corporation; Lexington Realty Trust; National Retail Properties, Inc.; Realty Income Corporation; and Spirit Realty Capital, Inc.
	The New OPP provides for early calculation and vesting of the award in the event of a change in control of the Company, prior to the end of the Performance Period. The Participants are entitled to receive a tax gross-up in the event that any amounts paid to the Participant under the New OPP constitute “parachute payments” as defined in Section 280G of the Code. The LTIP Units granted under the New OPP represent units of equity ownership in the OP that are structured as a profits interest therein. Subject to the Participant’s continued service through each vesting date, one-third of any earned LTIP Units will vest on October 1, 2016, October 1, 2017 and October 1, 2018, respectively. The Participants are entitled to receive distributions on their LTIP Units to the extent provided for in the LPA, as amended from time to time. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded expenses of $2.8 million and $5.3 million, respectively, for the New OPP, which is recorded in equity-based compensation and included with general and administrative expense on the consolidated statement of operations. As of June 30, 2014, the Company recorded a total payable for distributions on LTIP units related to the OPP and the New OPP of $6.9 million.

On February 28, 2013, the OP entered into a Contribution and Exchange Agreement (the “ARCT III Contribution and Exchange Agreement”) with the ARCT III OP and the ARCT III Special Limited Partner, the holder of the special limited partner interest in the ARCT III OP. The ARCT III Special Limited Partner was entitled to receive certain distributions from the ARCT III OP, including a subordinated distribution of net sales proceeds resulting from an “investment liquidity event” (as defined in the agreement of limited partnership of the ARCT III OP). The ARCT III Merger constituted an “investment liquidity event,” due to the attainment of the 6.0% performance hurdle and the return to ARCT III’s stockholders in addition to their initial investment. Pursuant to the ARCT III Contribution and Exchange Agreement, the ARCT III Special Limited Partner contributed its interest in the ARCT III OP, inclusive of the $98.4 million subordinated distribution proceeds received, to the ARCT III OP in exchange for 7.6 million ARCT III OP Units.

Pursuant to the ARCT IV Contribution and Exchange Agreement, the ARCT IV Special Limited Partner contributed its interest in the ARCT IV OP, inclusive of the $78.2 million of subordinated distribution proceeds received, to the ARCT IV OP in exchange for 2.8 million ARCT IV OP Units. Upon consummation of the ARCT IV Merger, these ARCT IV OP Units were immediately converted into 6.7 million OP Units after application of the ARCT IV Exchange Ratio.

No costs were incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

In connection with the closing of the Cole Merger, the Company paid $2.9 million to RCS Advisory during the six months ended June 30, 2014. No such payments were made during the three months ended June 30, 2014 or the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Management fees to affiliates:
Asset management fees		$	13,888		$	11,693
Property management fees			—			800
Total		$	13,888		$	12,493

Prior to the termination of the amended and restated management agreement, the Company paid the Former Manager an annual base management fee equal to 0.50% per annum of the average unadjusted book value of the Company’s real estate assets, calculated and payable monthly in advance, for the value of assets up to $3.0 billion and 0.40% per annum for the unadjusted book value of assets over $3.0 billion. The management fee was generally payable in cash however in lieu of cash. Prior to the ARCT III Merger, the Former Manager was entitled to an annual base management fee equal to 0.50% per annum for the unadjusted book value of assets with no asset threshold limitations. The Former Manager waived the management fee of $2.0 million and $2.4 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively.
Asset Management Fees
ARCT III
Effective July 1, 2012, as payment for the asset management fee, ARCT III issued (subject to periodic approval by its board of directors) to the ARCT III Advisor performance-based restricted partnership units of the ARCT III OP designated as “ARCT III Class B units,” which were intended to be profits interests and to vest, and no longer be subject to forfeiture, at such time as: (x) the value of the ARCT III OP’s assets plus all distributions that equaled or exceeded the total amount of capital contributed by investors plus a 6.0% cumulative, pre-tax, non-compounded annual return thereon (the “economic hurdle”); and (y) a liquidity event had occurred.
The ARCT III Advisor received distributions on unvested ARCT III Class B units equal to the distribution rate received on ARCT III common stock. In 2012, the ARCT III board of directors approved the issuance of 145,022 ARCT III Class B units to the ARCT III Advisor for asset management services it provided. In 2013, the ARCT III board of directors approved issuance of an additional 603,599 ARCT III Class B units to the ARCT III Advisor for asset management services it provided. As of December 31, 2012, ARCT III did not consider achievement of the performance condition to be probable as the shareholder vote for the ARCT III Merger, which would allow vesting of these ARCT III Class B Units, was not completed. The performance condition related to these ARCT III Class B units was satisfied upon the completion of the ARCT III Merger and as a result a $9.4 million expense was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2013. The 748,621 ARCT III Class B units converted into ARCT III OP Units, which converted on a one-to-one basis, into 711,190 OP Units after the application of the ARCT III Exchange Ratio.
In connection with a 60-day extension of the advisory agreement which was executed in order to facilitate the smooth transition of advisory services following the consummation of the ARCT III Merger, the Company incurred and paid additional asset management fees of $2.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013. No such fees were incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2013 or during the six months ended June 30, 2014.
ARCT IV
In connection with the asset management services provided by the ARCT IV Advisor, ARCT IV issued (subject to periodic approval by ARCT IV’s board of directors) to the ARCT IV Advisor performance-based restricted partnership units of the ARCT IV OP designated as “ARCT IV Class B Units,” which were intended to be profit interests and to vest, and no longer be subject to forfeiture, at such time as: (x) the value of the ARCT IV OP’s assets plus all distributions that equaled or exceeded the total amount of capital contributed by investors plus a 6.0% cumulative, pre-tax, non-compounded annual return thereon (the “economic hurdle”); (y) any one of the following occurs: (1) the termination of the advisory agreement by an affirmative vote of a majority of the Company’s independent directors without cause; (2) a listing; or (3) another liquidity event; and (z) the ARCT IV Advisor was still providing advisory services to ARCT IV.
The calculation of the ARCT IV asset management fees was equal to: (i) 0.1875% of the cost of ARCT IV’s assets; divided by (ii) the value of one share of ARCT IV common stock as of the last day of such calendar quarter. When approved by the board of directors, the ARCT IV Class B Units were issued to the ARCT IV Advisor quarterly in arrears pursuant to the terms of the ARCT IV OP agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2013, ARCT IV’s board of directors approved the issuance of 492,483 ARCT IV Class B Units to the ARCT IV Advisor in connection with this arrangement. As of December 31, 2013, ARCT IV did not consider achievement of the performance condition to be probable and no expense was recorded at that time. The ARCT IV Advisor received distributions on unvested ARCT IV Class B Units equal to the distribution rate received on the ARCT IV common stock. The performance condition related to the 498,857 ARCT IV Class B Units, which includes units issued for the period of January 1, 2014 through the ARCT IV Merger Date, was satisfied upon the completion of the ARCT IV Merger. These ARCT IV Class B Units immediately converted into OP Units at the 2.3961 exchange ratio discussed in Note 3 — Mergers and Acquisitions and the Company recorded an expense of $13.9 million based on the fair value of the ARCT IV Class B Units during the six months ended June 30, 2014. No additional expense was recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2014.

ARCT III also agreed to reimbursed the affiliate for property level expenses.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, a wholly owned subsidiary of ARC Real Estate purchased a historic building in Newport, Rhode Island (“Audrain”) with plans to renovate the second floor to serve as offices for certain executives of the Company, and affiliates of the Former Manager. ARC Real Estate requested that invoices relating to the second floor renovation and tenant improvements and all building operating expenses either be reimbursed by the Company to the affiliate of the Former Manager or be paid directly to the contractors and vendors.

In addition, on October 4, 2013, the Company entered into a lease agreement with the subsidiary of ARC Real Estate for a term of 15 years with annual base rent of $0.4 million requiring monthly payments beginning on that date. As there were tenants occupying the building when it was purchased, these tenants subleased their premises from the Company until their leases terminated. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company incurred and paid $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, for base rent, which was partially offset by $9,000 and $17,000, respectively, of rental revenue received from the subtenants.
Subsequent to June 30, 2014, as a result of findings of the investigation conducted by the Audit Committee, the Company terminated the lease agreement and was reimbursed for the tenant improvement and furniture costs incurred by the Company totaling approximately $8.5 million, which included the tenant improvements of approximately $3.8 million incurred by the Company in the six months ended June 30, 2014. Reimbursement was made by delivery and retirement of 916,423 OP Units held by an affiliate of the Former Manager. The Company never moved into or occupied the building.

Subsequently, ANST never moved into the building. The Company is considering its options with regard to recovery of such payments, although no decisions have been made at this time. No asset has been recognized in the financial statements related to any potential recovery.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Net Loss Per Share (As Restated)	Note 22 — Net Loss Per Share (As Restated)
	The Company’s unvested restricted stock contains non-forfeitable rights to dividends and are considered to be participating securities in accordance with GAAP and, therefore, are included in the computation of earnings per share under the two-class method. Under the two-class computation method, net losses are not allocated to participating securities unless the holder of the security has a contractual obligation to share in the losses. The unvested restricted stock are not allocated losses as the awards do not have a contractual obligation to share in losses of the Company. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common shares and participating securities according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Note 24 — Income Taxes (As Restated)
	As a REIT, the Company generally is not subject to federal income tax, with the exception of its TRS. However, the Company, including its TRS, is still subject to certain state and local income taxes in the various jurisdictions in which it operates.
	Based on the above, Cole Capital, substantially all of which is conducted through a TRS, recognized a benefit from federal and state income taxes of $7.5 million and $13.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, which is included in other income, net in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. No provision or benefit for income taxes was recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 as the Company did not commence operations for Cole Capital until the Cole Acquisition Date. The difference in the benefit from income taxes reflected in the consolidated statements of operations as compared to the benefit calculated at the statutory federal income tax rate is primarily attributable to various permanent differences and state and local income taxes.
	The REI segment recognized state income and franchise taxes of $2.8 million and $3.9 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, and $0.1 million and $0.3 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, which are included in other income, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
	The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits as of or during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. Any interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits would be recognized within the provision for income taxes in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, as well as various state jurisdictions, and is subject to routine examinations by the respective tax authorities. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to federal or state examinations by tax authorities for years before 2010.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	6 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2014
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Accounting	The consolidated financial statements of the Company included herein were prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The information furnished includes all adjustments and accruals of a normal recurring nature, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year or any subsequent interim period.
	These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013 of the Company, which are included in the Amended 10-K. There have been no significant changes to these policies during the six months ended June 30, 2014, other than the updates described below.
	Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, consolidated joint venture arrangements and its subsidiaries. The portions of the consolidated joint venture arrangements not owned by the Company are presented as non-controlling interests. In addition, as described in Note 1 — Organization, certain affiliates and non-affiliated third parties have been issued OP Units. Holders of OP Units are considered to be non-controlling interest holders in the OP and their ownership interest is reflected as equity in the consolidated balance sheets. In addition, a portion of the earnings and losses of the OP are allocated to non-controlling interest holders based on their respective ownership percentages. Upon conversion of OP Units to common stock, any difference between the fair value of common shares issued and the carrying value of the OP Units converted is recorded as a component of equity. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were 24,771,215 and 9,591,174 outstanding OP Units held by third parties (other than the Company), respectively. In addition, as discussed in Note 3 — Mergers and Acquisitions (As Restated), the historical information of ARCT III and ARCT IV has been presented as if the mergers had occurred from the earliest date of common control for each merger.
	The Company evaluates its relationships and investments to determine if it has variable interests. A variable interest is an investment or other interest that will absorb portions of an entity’s expected losses or receive portions of the entity’s expected residual returns. The Company’s evaluation includes consideration of the qualitative and quantitative significance of fees the Company earns from certain of its relationships and investments. If the Company determines that it has a variable interest in an entity, it evaluates whether such interest is in a variable interest entity (“VIE”). A VIE is broadly defined as an entity where either (1) the equity investors as a group, if any, lack the power through voting or similar rights to direct the activities of an entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance or (2) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support.
	A variable interest holder is considered to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE if it has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company qualitatively assesses whether it is (or is not) the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Consideration of various factors include, but are not limited to, the Company’s ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, its form of ownership interest, its representation on the entity’s governing body, the size and seniority of its investment, its ability and the rights of other investors to participate in policy making decisions and to replace the manager of and/or liquidate the entity. The Company consolidates any VIEs when it is determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE’s operations and the difference between consolidating the VIE and accounting for it on the equity method would be material to the Company’s financial statements.
	The Company continually evaluates the need to consolidate joint ventures and the managed investment programs based on standards set forth in GAAP as described above.
Investment in Unconsolidated Entities	Investment in Unconsolidated Entities
	Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
	Investment in unconsolidated joint ventures as of June 30, 2014 consisted of the Company’s interest in six joint ventures that owned six properties (the “Unconsolidated Joint Ventures”). As of June 30, 2014, the Company owned aggregate equity investments of $98.1 million in the Unconsolidated Joint Ventures. The Company accounts for the Unconsolidated Joint Ventures using the equity method of accounting as the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over operating and financial policies of these investments. The equity method of accounting requires the investment to be initially recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for the Company’s share of equity in the joint ventures’ earnings and distributions.
	Investment in Managed REITs
	As of June 30, 2014, the Company owned aggregate equity investments of $3.9 million in the following publicly registered, non-traded REITs: Cole Credit Property Trust IV, Inc. (“CCPT IV”); Cole Corporate Income Trust, Inc. (“CCIT”); Cole Real Estate Income Strategy (Daily NAV), Inc. (“INAV”); Cole Office & Industrial REIT (CCIT II), Inc. (“CCIT II”); and Cole Credit Property Trust V, Inc. (“CCPT V,” and collectively with CCPT IV, CCIT, INAV and CCIT II, the “Managed REITs”). Prior to the CCPT Acquisition Date, CCPT was a Managed REIT and accounted for using the equity method. As of the CCPT Acquisition Date, the Company had an approximate $5,000 equity investment in CCPT. The Company accounts for these investments using the equity method of accounting, which requires the investment to be initially recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for the Company’s share of equity in the respective Managed REIT’s earnings and distributions.
Leasehold Improvements and Property and Equipment	Leasehold Improvements and Property and Equipment
	The Company leases its office facilities under operating leases. Leasehold improvements related to these are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the estimated useful life or remaining lease term.
	Property and equipment, which primarily include office furniture, fixtures and equipment and computer hardware and software, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Property and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from five to seven years. The Company reassesses the useful lives of its property and equipment and adjusts the future monthly depreciation expense based on the new useful life, as applicable. If the Company disposes of an asset, the asset and related accumulated depreciation are written off upon disposal.
Impairments	Impairments
	Investment in Unconsolidated Entities
	The Company is required to determine whether an event or change in circumstances has occurred that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of any of its investment in the unconsolidated entities. If an event or change in circumstance has occurred, the Company is required to evaluate its investment in the unconsolidated entity for potential impairment and determine if the carrying amount of its investment exceeds its fair value. An impairment charge is recorded when an impairment is deemed to be other-than-temporary. To determine whether an impairment is other-than-temporary, the Company considers whether it has the ability and intent to hold the investment until the carrying amount is fully recovered. The evaluation of an investment in an unconsolidated entity for potential impairment requires the Company’s management to exercise significant judgment and to make certain assumptions. The use of different judgments and assumptions could result in different conclusions.
	Leasehold Improvements and Property and Equipment
	Leasehold improvements and property and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. If this review indicates that the carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable, the Company records an impairment loss, measured at fair value by estimated discounted cash flows or market appraisals. The Company identified eight properties during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 with impairment indicators four of which the undiscounted future cash flows expected as a result of the use and eventual disposition of the real estate and related assets was less than the carrying amount of each respective properties, as discussed in Note 11 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments (As Restated). The evaluation of an investment in an unconsolidated property for potential impairment requires the Company’s management to exercise significant judgment and to make certain assumptions. The use of different judgments and assumptions could result in different conclusions.
Goodwill	Goodwill
	In the case of a business combination, after identifying all tangible and intangible assets and liabilities, the excess consideration paid over the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired and assumed, respectively, represents goodwill. Goodwill that arose as a result of the Company’s mergers and acquisitions was recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
	In the event the Company disposes of a property that constitutes a business under U.S. GAAP from a reporting unit with goodwill, the Company will allocate a portion of the reporting unit’s goodwill to that business in determining the gain or loss on the disposal of the business. The amount of goodwill allocated to the business will be based on the relative fair value of the business to the fair value of the reporting unit. The REI segment and Cole Capital each comprise one reporting unit.
	The Company will evaluate goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently when an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate the carrying value, by reporting unit, may not be recoverable. The Company’s annual testing date is during the fourth quarter. The Company will test goodwill for impairment by first comparing the book value of net assets to the fair value of each reporting unit. If the fair value is determined to be less than the book value or if qualitative factors indicate that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, a second step is performed to compute the amount of impairment as the difference between the estimated fair value of goodwill and the carrying value. The Company will estimate the fair value of the reporting units using discounted cash flows and relevant competitor multiples. The evaluation of goodwill for potential impairment requires the Company’s management to exercise significant judgment and to make certain assumptions. The use of different judgments and assumptions could result in different conclusions.
	The following summarizes the Company’s goodwill activity during the six months ended June 30, 2014 by segment (in thousands):
			REI Segment			Cole Capital		Consolidated
	Balance as of January 1, 2014		$	92,789		$	—	$	92,789
	Cole Merger (1)			1,654,085			558,835		2,212,920
	Goodwill allocated to dispositions (2)			(12,689	)		—		(12,689	)
	Balance as of June 30, 2014		$	1,734,185		$	558,835	$	2,293,020
	-1	Goodwill recognized from the Cole Merger was assigned to the REI segment and Cole Capital based on the excess consideration paid over the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired and assumed in each segment. Refer to Note 5 — Acquisitions of CapLease, Cole and CCPT (As Restated) for further discussion.
	-2	Goodwill allocated to the cost basis of properties sold or classified as held for sale is included in loss on held for sale assets and disposition of properties, net, in the consolidated statement of operations.
Program Development Costs	Program Development Costs
	The Company pays for organization, registration and offering expenses associated with the sale of common stock of the Managed REITs. The reimbursement of these expenses by the Managed REITs is limited to a certain percentage of the proceeds raised from their offerings, in accordance with their respective advisory agreements and charters. Such expenses paid by the Company on behalf of the Managed REITs in excess of these limits that are expected to be collected are recorded as program development costs. The Company assesses the collectability of the program development costs, considering the offering period and historical and forecasted sales of shares under the Managed REITs’ respective offering and reserves for any balances considered not collectible. No reserves were recorded as of June 30, 2014, as the Company expects to be reimbursed for all of the program development costs by the Managed REITs as additional proceeds from their respective offerings are raised. Program development costs are included in deferred costs and other assets, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Acquisition Related Expenses and Merger and Other Non-routine Transaction Related Expenses	Acquisition Related Expenses and Merger and Other Non-routine Transaction Related Expenses
	All direct costs incurred as a result of a business combination are classified as acquisition costs or merger and other non-routine transaction costs and expensed as incurred. In addition, indirect costs, such as internal salaries, that are tracked and documented in a manner that clearly indicate that the activities driving the cost directly relate to activities necessary to complete, or effect, a business combination are classified as acquisition related expenses. Similar costs incurred in relation to mergers with entities under common control (which are not accounted for as acquisitions) are included in the caption “merger and other non-routine transactions.” Acquisition related expenses include legal and other transaction related costs incurred in connection with self-originated acquisitions including purchases of portfolios. Other non-routine transaction costs are also presented within the line item merger and other non-routine transactions in the consolidated statements of operations.
	Merger and other non-routine transaction related expenses include the following costs (amounts in thousands):

Due from Affiliates	Due from Affiliates
	The Company receives or may be entitled to receive compensation and reimbursement for services primarily relating to the Managed REITs’ offerings and the investment, management, financing and disposition of their respective assets. Refer to Note 20 — Related Party Transactions and Arrangements (As Restated) for further explanation.
Reportable Segments	Reportable Segments
	The Company has concluded that it has two reportable segments as it has organized its operations into two segments for management and internal financial reporting purposes, REI and Cole Capital. The identification and aggregation of reportable segments requires the Company’s management to exercise certain judgments. Refer to Note 6 — Segment Reporting (As Restated) for further information.
Revenue Recognition - Private Capital Management Segment	Revenue Recognition - Cole Capital
	Revenue consists of securities sales commissions and dealer manager fees, real estate acquisition fees, property management fees, advisory fees, asset management fees and performance fees for services relating to the Managed REITs’ offerings and the investment and management of their respective assets, in accordance with the respective advisory and dealer manager agreements. The Company records revenue related to acquisition fees, securities sales commissions and dealer manager fees upon completion of a transaction and advisory, asset and property management fees as services are performed. The Company is also reimbursed for certain costs incurred in providing these services. Securities sales commission and dealer manager reimbursements are recorded as revenue as the expenses are incurred. Other reimbursements are recorded as revenue when reimbursements are reasonably assured.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes
	The Company currently qualifies and has elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code. As a REIT, except as discussed below, the Company generally is not subject to federal income tax on taxable income that it distributes to its stockholders so long as it distributes at least 90% of its annual taxable income (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gains). REITs are subject to a number of other organizational and operational requirements. Even if the Company maintains its qualification for taxation as a REIT, it may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.
	The Company conducts substantially all of its Cole Capital business operations through a TRS. A TRS is a subsidiary of a REIT that is subject to corporate federal, state and local income taxes, as applicable. The Company’s use of a TRS enables it to engage in certain business activities while complying with the REIT qualification requirements and to retain any income generated by these businesses for reinvestment without the requirement to distribute those earnings. The Company conducts all of its business in the United States, and as a result, the Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and local jurisdictions. Certain of the Company’s inter-company transactions that have been eliminated in consolidation for financial accounting purposes are also subject to taxation.
	The Company provides for income taxes in accordance with current authoritative accounting and tax guidance. The tax expense or benefit related to significant, unusual or extraordinary items is recognized in the quarter in which those items occur. In addition, the effect of changes in enacted tax laws, rates or tax status is recognized in the quarter in which the change occurs. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, additional information is obtained or the tax environment changes.
Repurchase Agreements	Repurchase Agreements
	In certain circumstances, the Company may obtain financing through a repurchase agreement. The Company evaluates the initial transfer of a financial instrument and the related repurchase agreement for sale accounting treatment. In instances where the Company maintains effective control over the transferred securities, the Company accounts for the transaction as a secured borrowing, and accordingly, both the securities and related repurchase agreement payable are recorded separately in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets in investment securities, at fair value and other debt, net, respectively. In instances where the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred securities, the Company accounts for the transaction as a sale of securities for proceeds consisting of cash and a forward purchase contract.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In April 2014, the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”), 2014-08 Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (“ASU 2014-08”), which amends the reporting requirements for discontinued operations by updating the definition of a discontinued operation to be a component of an entity that represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results, resulting in fewer disposals that qualify for discontinued operations reporting yet the pronouncement also requires expanded disclosures for discontinued operations. The Company adopted ASU 2014-08 effective January 1, 2014. Starting with the first quarter of 2014, the results of operations for all properties sold and properties classified as held for sale that do not meet the criteria to qualify as a discontinued operation and were not previously reported in discontinued operations in the Amended 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 will be presented within income from continuing operations on the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
	In May 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605),” and requires an entity to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, and is to be applied retrospectively, with early application not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on its financial statements.

These amounts have been calculated after applying the Company’s accounting policies and adjusting the results of acquisitions to reflect the additional depreciation and amortization and interest expense that would have been charged had the acquisitions occurred on January 1, 2013. Additionally, the unaudited pro forma net loss attributable to stockholders was adjusted to exclude acquisition related expenses of $20.6 million and $47.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and merger and other non-routine transaction related expenses of $167.7 million and $129.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively (in thousands).
