| Pay vs Performance [Table Text Block] | Pay Versus Performance Disclosure As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing information about the relationship between executive compensation actually paid to our PEO and the other NEOs (as calculated in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K) and certain financial performance measures. For additional information on our compensation programs and philosophy and how we design our compensation programs to align pay with performance, see the section titled “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” on page 32 Year Summary Compensation Table Total for PEO (1) Compensation Actually Paid to PEO (1) Average Summary Compensation Table Total for other NEOs (2) Average Compensation Actually Paid to other NEOs (2) Value of Initial Fixed $100 Investment Based On: Net Income (in 000s) (4) FFO as Adjusted / Share (5) Company TSR Peer Group TSR (3) 2022 $6,616,501 $1,358,447 $2,255,103 $1,022,067 $ 83.11 $89.16 $ 47.3 $1.21 2021 6,830,104 8,556,102 2,010,966 3,110,209 107.66 98.78 107.8 1.09 2020 6,149,061 3,842,680 2,136,036 583,667 70.98 68.63 97.8 0.98 (1) Mr. Olson was our principal executive officer for all years shown. The amounts reported represent the “compensation actually paid” to our PEO, computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, but do not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned by or paid to our PEO in the applicable year. In accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, below are the adjustments made to the amount reported for our PEO in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table for each year to arrive at compensation actually paid to our principal executive officer during each year shown: Adjustments to Determine Compensation “Actually Paid” for PEO 2022 2021 2020 Deduction for Amounts Reported under the “Stock Awards” Column in the SCT $(3,939,010) $(3,699,999) $(4,005,254) Increase for Fair Value of Awards Granted during year that Remain Unvested as of Year end 2,641,983 4,507,329 2,920,790 Increase/deduction for Change in Fair Value from prior Year-end to current Year-end of Awards Granted Prior to year that were Outstanding and Unvested as of Year-end (4,145,858) 423,532 (998,121) Increase/deduction for Change in Fair Value from Prior Year-end to Vesting Date of Awards Granted Prior to year that Vested during year 36,635 326,533 (451,835) Increase based on Dividends or other Earnings Paid During Year prior to Vesting Date of Award 148,196 178,603 228,039 Total Adjustments $ $ $(2,306,381) (2) Our other NEOs are Messrs. Langer, Weilminster, Eilberg and Milton, and for 2020 only included Mr. Briggs. The amounts reported represent the average “compensation actually paid” to the NEOs other than our PEO as a group, computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. The amounts do not reflect the actual average amount of compensation earned by or paid to such NEOs as a group in the applicable year. In accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the following adjustments were made to the average of the amounts reported in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table for the NEOs as a group (excluding our PEO) for each year to determine the compensation actually paid, using the same methodology described above in footnote 1: Adjustments to Determine Compensation “Actually Paid” for Non-PEOs (Average) 2022 2021 2020 Deduction for Amounts Reported under the “Stock Awards” Column in the SCT $ (903,503) $ (756,940) $(1,042,067) Increase for Fair Value of Awards Granted during year that Remain Unvested as of Year end 228,632 923,437 491,467 Increase/deduction for Change in Fair Value from prior Year-end to current Year-end of Awards Granted Prior to year that were Outstanding and Unvested as of Year-end (313,879) 547,345 (407,979) Increase/deduction for Change in Fair Value from Prior Year-end to Vesting Date of Awards Granted Prior to year that Vested during year (292,808) 334,083 Increase based on Dividends or other Earnings Paid During Year prior to Vesting Date of Award 49,061 51,318 59,000 Total Adjustments $(1,232,496) $1,099,244 $(1,552,369) (3) Peer group is the Dow Jones US Real Estate Strip Centers index. (4) The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of net income reflected in the Company’s audited financial statements for the applicable fiscal year. (5) The Company has identified FFO as Adjusted (per share) as the most important additional financial metric used to link pay and performance, for our company selected measure. While we consider numerous financial and non-financial performance measures for the purpose of evaluating and determining executive compensation, we consider FFO as Adjusted (per share), to be the most important performance measure used by to link compensation actually paid to the NEOs for fiscal year 2022 to Company performance. Our short-term incentive programs include FFO as Adjusted as the most heavily weighted metric (that impacts annual cash pay out to executive officers) based on our absolute level of FFO as Adjusted achieved for the year and, starting in 2022, one-third of the performance-based portion of 2022 long-term incentive plan pays out based on the three year growth rate of our FFO as Adjusted growth rate. FFO as Adjusted is a non-GAAP financial measure—please see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” beginning on page 65 for a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. We consider FFO as Adjusted a meaningful and relevant measure in determining our operating performance. | ||
