Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Accounting and Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company and the Operating Partnership have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements include the normal, recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the information required to be set forth therein. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year. Certain information and note disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, have been condensed or omitted from these statements pursuant to SEC rules and regulations and, accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as filed with the SEC in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements of the Operating Partnership include the accounts of the Operating Partnership and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. All expenses incurred by the Company have been allocated to the Operating Partnership in accordance with the Operating Partnership's first amended and restated agreement of limited partnership, which management determined to be a reasonable method of allocation. Therefore, expenses incurred would not be materially different if the Operating Partnership had operated as an unaffiliated entity. These consolidated financial statements include certain special purpose entities that were formed to acquire and hold real estate encumbered by indebtedness (see Note 4). Each special purpose entity is a separate legal entity and is the sole owner of its assets and responsible for its liabilities. The assets of these special purpose entities are not available to pay, or otherwise satisfy obligations to, the creditors of any affiliate or owner of another entity unless the special purpose entities have expressly agreed and are permitted to do so under their governing documents. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, net assets totaling $350.4 million and $375.5 million, respectively, were held, and net liabilities totaling $216.7 million and $231.7 million, respectively, were owed by these encumbered special purpose entities and are included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although management believes its estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates. Segment Reporting The Company views its operations as one segment, which consists of net leasing operations. The Company has no other reportable segments. Revenue Recognition Rental Income: Cash and Straight-line Rent The Company primarily leases real estate to its tenants under long-term, triple-net leases that are classified as operating leases. To evaluate lease classification, the Company assesses the terms and conditions of the lease to determine the appropriate lease term. The Company does not include options to extend, terminate or purchase in its evaluation for lease classification purposes or for recognizing rental income unless the Company is reasonably certain the tenant will exercise the option. Another component of lease classification that requires judgment is the residual value of the property at the end of the lease term. For acquisitions, the Company assumes a value that is equal to the tangible value of the property at the date of the assessment. For lease modifications, the Company generally uses sales comparables or a direct capitalization approach to determine fair value. The Company’s leases generally provide for rent escalations throughout the term of the lease. For leases with fixed rent escalators, rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis to produce a constant periodic rent over the term of the lease. Accordingly, accrued rental revenue, calculated as the aggregate difference between the rental revenue recognized on a straight-line basis and scheduled rents, represents unbilled rent receivables that the Company will receive only if the tenants make all rent payments required through the expiration of the initial term of the leases. For leases with contingent rent escalators, rental income typically increases at a multiple of any increase in the CPI over a specified period and may adjust over a one-year Some of the Company’s leases also provide for contingent rent based on a percentage of the tenant’s gross sales, which is recognized as rental income when the change in the factor on which the contingent lease payment is based actually occurs. Rental income is subject to an evaluation for collectability, which includes management’s estimates of amounts that will not be realized based on an assessment of the risks inherent in the portfolio, considering historical experience, as well as the tenant's payment history and financial condition. The Company does not recognize rental income for amounts that are not probable of collection. Rental Income: Tenant Reimbursement Revenue Under a triple-net lease, the tenant is typically responsible for all improvements and is contractually obligated to pay all property operating expenses, such as real estate taxes, insurance premiums and repair and maintenance costs. Certain leases contain additional amounts recoverable from tenants for common area maintenance expenses and certain other recoverable expenses, which are non-lease components. The Company has elected to combine all its non-lease components, which were determined to have the same pattern of transfer as the related operating lease component, into a single combined lease component. Tenant reimbursement revenue is variable and is recognized as revenue in the period in which the related expenses are incurred, with the related expenses included in property costs (including reimbursable) on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Tenant reimbursements are recorded on a gross basis in instances when our tenants reimburse us for property costs which we incur. Tenant receivables are reduced for amounts that are not probable of collection. Rental Income: Intangible Amortization Initial direct costs associated with the origination of a lease are deferred and amortized as an adjustment to rental revenue. Above-market and below-market lease intangibles are amortized as a decrease and increase, respectively, to rental revenue. In-place lease intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis and included in depreciation and amortization expense. All lease intangibles are amortized over the remaining term of the respective leases, which includes the initial term of the lease and may also include the renewal periods if the Company believes it is reasonably certain the tenant will exercise the renewal option. If the Company subsequently determines it is reasonably certain that the tenant will not exercise the renewal option, the unamortized portion of any related lease intangible is accelerated over the remaining initial term of the lease. If the Company believes the intangible balance is no longer recoverable, the unamortized portion of any related lease intangible is immediately recognized in impairments in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash Cash and cash equivalents include cash and highly liquid investment securities with maturities at acquisition of three months or less. The Company invests cash primarily in money market funds of major financial institutions with fund investments consisting of highly-rated money market instruments and other short-term investments. Restricted cash is classified within deferred costs and other assets, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash consisted of the following (in thousands): September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 September 30, 2019 Cash and cash equivalents $ 116,814 $ 14,492 $ 358,440 Restricted cash: Collateral deposits (1) 460 347 469 Tenant improvements, repairs and leasing commissions (2) 12,215 10,877 10,431 Other (3) — 307 326 Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 129,489 $ 26,023 $ 369,666 (1) (2) (3) Tenant Receivables The Company reviews its rent and other tenant receivables for collectability on a regular basis, taking into consideration changes in factors such as the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates, and economic conditions in the area in which the tenant operates. If the collectability of a receivable with respect to any tenant is not probable of collection, a direct write-off of the specific receivable will be made. The Company had accounts receivable balances of $28.5 million and $7.7 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, after the impact of $14.3 million and $3.8 million of receivables, respectively, were deemed not probable of collection. Receivables are recorded within deferred cost and other assets, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. For receivable balances related to the straight-line method of reporting rental revenue, the collectability is generally assessed in conjunction with the evaluation of rental income as described above. The Company had straight-line rent receivables of $89.3 million and $83.6 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, after the impact of $11.0 million and $0.4 million of receivables, respectively, were deemed not probable of collection. These receivables are recorded within deferred costs and other assets, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Goodwill Goodwill arises from business combinations and represents the excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the net fair value amounts that were assigned to the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment Income Taxes The Corporation has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code. As a REIT, the Corporation generally will not be subject to federal income tax provided it continues to satisfy certain tests concerning the Company’s sources of income, the nature of the Company’s assets, the amounts distributed to the Corporation’s stockholders and the ownership of Corporation stock. Management believes the Corporation has qualified and will continue to qualify as a REIT. Even if the Corporation qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it may be subject to state and local income and franchise taxes, and to federal income tax and excise tax on its undistributed income. Taxable income earned by any of the Company's taxable REIT subsidiaries , including from non-REIT activities, is subject to federal, state and local taxes. The rights and obligations of the Asset Management Agreement were transferred to SRAM, a wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary of Spirit , on April 1, 2019 , which was subsequently terminated and simultaneously replaced by the Interim Management Agreement between SRAM and SMTA , effective from September 20, 2019 through September 4, 2020 . Accordingly, all asset management fees earned from April 1, 2019 through September 4, 2020 , including the termination fee income earned in September 2019 , were subject to income tax. The components of income taxes are as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 US Federal income tax $ 38 $ 10,402 $ 81 $ 10,500 State income tax 159 788 325 1,230 Total income tax $ 197 $ 11,190 $ 406 $ 11,730 The federal income tax related to SRAM for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $10.4 and $10.5 million, respectively, and the state income tax for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $0.7 million. Income tax expense for SRAM attributable to income before income taxes differs from the amounts computed by applying the U.S. statutory federal income tax rate of 21% to income before income taxes. The difference between the statutory rate and reported amount for SRAM was caused by non-deductible executive compensation expenses totaling $0.7 million and the impact of state income taxes, net of federal income tax benefit, totaling $0.2 million. SRAM had no material deferred income taxes and liabilities as of September 30, 2019. The Operating Partnership is a partnership for federal income tax purposes. Partnerships are pass-through entities and are not subject to U.S. federal income taxes, therefore no provision has been made for federal income taxes in the accompanying financial statements. Although most states and cities where the Operating Partnership operates follow the U.S. federal income tax treatment, there are certain jurisdictions such as Texas, Tennessee and Ohio that impose income or franchise taxes on a partnership. Franchise taxes are included in general and administrative expenses on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. New Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments In April 2020, the FASB released a Staff Q&A regarding the accounting for lease concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The FASB noted that the underlying premise in requiring a modified lease to be accounted for as if it were a new lease under ASC 842 is that the modified terms and conditions affect the economics of the lease for the remainder of the lease term. As such, the FASB staff clarified that it would be acceptable for entities to make an election to account for lease concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic consistent with how those concessions would be accounted for under ASC 842 as though enforceable rights and obligations for those concessions existed (regardless of whether those enforceable rights and obligations for the concessions explicitly exist in the contract). The Company made this election and accounts for rent deferrals by increasing the rent receivables as receivables accrue and continuing to recognize income during the deferral period, resulting in $1.8 million and $24.1 million of deferrals being recognized in rental income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The deferral periods range generally from one to six months, with an average deferral period of three months and an average repayment period of 13 months. Lease concessions other than rent deferrals are evaluated to determine if a substantive change to the consideration in the original lease contract has occurred and should be accounted for as a lease modification. Management continues to evaluate any amounts recognized for collectability, regardless of whether accounted for as a lease modification or not, and records a provision for losses against rental income for amounts that are not probable of collection. For lease concessions granted in conjunction with the COVID-19 pandemic, management reviewed all amounts recognized on a tenant-by-tenant basis for collectability.

( 2 ) Includes net impact of amounts not deemed probable of collection of $4.3 million (3) Excludes amortization of in-place leases of $8.4 million and $7.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $25.9 million and $20.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, which is included in depreciation and amortization expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Scheduled minimum future rent to be received under the remaining non-cancellable term of these operating leases (including contractual fixed rent increases occurring on or after October 1, 2020) at September 30, 2020 are as follows (in thousands): September 30, 2020 Remainder of 2020 $ 120,598 2021 477,810 2022 463,790 2023 445,749 2024 423,521 Thereafter 3,266,987 Total future minimum rentals $ 5,198,455 Because lease renewal periods are exercisable at the lessees' options, the preceding table presents future minimum lease payments due during the initial lease term only. In addition, the future minimum rentals do not include any contingent rentals based on a percentage of the lessees' gross sales or lease escalations based on future changes in the CPI. The following table details lease intangible assets and liabilities, net of accumulated amortization (in thousands): September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 In-place leases $ 448,147 $ 457,616 Above-market leases 83,809 95,002 Less: accumulated amortization (182,609 ) (167,539 ) Intangible lease assets, net $ 349,347 $ 385,079 Below-market leases $ 175,644 $ 176,816 Less: accumulated amortization (54,578 ) (49,481 ) Intangible lease liabilities, net $ 121,066 $ 127,335 Direct Financing Leases As of September 30, 2020, the Company held one property under a direct financing lease, which was held in use. As of September 30, 2020, this property had $3.7 million in scheduled minimum future payments to be received under its remaining non-cancellable lease term. The Company evaluated the collectability of the amounts receivable under the direct financing lease and recorded a reserve for uncollectible amounts totaling $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2020, primarily as a result of the borrower’s credit rating being non-investment grade and the initial term extending until 2027. The Company reversed $0.2 million of the reserve in the third quarter of 2020 as a result of improvement in the borrower’s credit and, as of September 30, 2020, there was a remaining reserve of $0.1 million against the net investment balance of $7.6 million. Loans Receivable As of September 30, 2020, all of the Company’s first-priority mortgage loans had been fully paid off. The Company had evaluated the collectability of the amounts receivable under the loans receivable and recorded an allowance for loan losses of $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2020, primarily driven by the borrowers’ having investment grade credit ratings and maturities in 2020. The Company reversed $0.2 million of the reserve in the second quarter of 2020 due to the shorter time to maturity and no change in the borrower’s credit ratings. The remaining $0.1 million of the reserve was reversed during the third quarter of 2020 due to the repayment of the remaining loans.

The 2019 Credit Facility is comprised of $800.0 million of aggregate revolving commitments and an accordion feature providing for an additional $400.0 million of revolving borrowing capacity, subject to satisfying certain requirements and obtaining additional lender commitments. The 2019 Credit Facility has an initial maturity date of March 31, 2023 and includes two six-month As of September 30, 2020, the outstanding loans under the 2019 Credit Facility bore interest at 1-Month LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 0.90% per annum and the aggregate revolving commitments incurred a facility fee of 0.20% per annum, in each case, based on the Operating Partnership's credit rating, which was upgraded to BBB by S&P in May 2019. Prior to the upgrade, the 2019 Credit Facility bore interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 1.10% per annum and the aggregate revolving commitments incurred a facility fee of 0.25% per annum. Deferred financing costs incurred in connection with entering into the 2019 Credit Facility are being amortized to interest expense over its remaining initial term.

CMBS As of September 30, 2020, indirect wholly-owned special purpose entity subsidiaries of the Company were borrowers under five fixed-rate non-recourse loans, which have been securitized into CMBS and are secured by the borrowers' respective leased properties and related assets. The stated interest rates as of September 30, 2020 for the loans ranged from 5.23% to 6.00%, with a weighted average stated rate of 5.47%. As of September 30, 2020, the loans were secured by 88 properties.

Both the deferred financing costs and offering premium were recorded net against the principal balance of the mortgages and notes payable on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the respective loans. Convertible Notes In May 2014, the Company issued $402.5 million aggregate principal amount of 2.875% convertible notes due in 2019 and $345.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.75% convertible notes due in 2021.

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND PARTNERS' CAPITAL Common Stock During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, portions of awards of restricted common stock and market-based share awards granted to certain of the Company's officers and other employees vested. The vesting of these awards, granted pursuant to the Amended Incentive Award Plan, resulted in federal and state income tax liabilities for the recipients. As permitted by the terms of the Amended Incentive Award Plan and the award grants, certain executive officers and employees elected to surrender 117.5 thousand shares of common stock valued at $4.4 million, solely to pay the associated statutory tax withholdings during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. In June 2020, the Company entered into forward sale agreements with certain financial institutions acting as forward purchasers in connection with an offering of 9.2 million shares of common stock at an initial public offering price of $37.35 per share, before underwriting discounts and offering expenses. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of its shares of common stock by the forward purchasers at the time of the offering. The forward sale price that the Company will receive upon physical settlement of the agreements, which was initially $35.856 per share, will be subject to adjustment for (i) a floating interest rate factor equal to a specified daily rate less a spread, (ii) the forward purchasers' stock borrowing costs and (iii) scheduled dividends during the term of the forward sale agreements. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had physically settled 2.8 million of these shares, generating gross proceeds of $106.2 million. In November 2016, the Board of Directors approved a $500 million ATM Program. The agreement provides for the offer and sale of shares of the Corporation’s common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $500.0 million through the agents, as its sales agents or, if applicable, as forward sellers for forward purchasers, or directly to the agents acting as principals. The Company may sell shares in amounts and at times to be determined by the Company but has no obligation to sell any shares in the ATM program. Since inception of the ATM Program through September 30, 2020, 5.9 million shares of the Corporation’s common stock have been sold, of which 0.7 million were sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Of total shares sold since inception, 4.1 million were through forward sales agreements, including all 0.7 million shares sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, 0.4 million of the shares were physically settled at a weighted average price per share of $49.30 for $17.9 million in gross proceeds. There were 0.3 million shares remaining under open forward sales agreements as of September 30, 2020. Assuming the full physical settlement of those open forward sales agreements, aggregate gross proceeds capacity of $234.8 million remained available under the program as of September 30, 2020. Preferred Stock As of September 30, 2020, the Company had 6.9 million shares of 6.00% Series A Preferred Stock outstanding. The Series A Preferred Stock pays cumulative cash dividends at the rate of 6.00% per annum on the liquidation preference of $25.00 per share (equivalent to $0.375 per share on a quarterly basis and $1.50 per share on an annual basis).

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company is periodically subject to claims or litigation in the ordinary course of business, including claims generated from business conducted by tenants on real estate owned by the Company. In these instances, the Company is typically indemnified by the tenant against any losses that might be suffered, and the Company and/or the tenant are typically insured against such claims. The Company is contingently liable for $5.7 million of debt owed by one of its former tenants until the maturity of the debt on March 15, 2022. The Company has accrued the full $5.7 million liability in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet as of both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The Company estimates future costs for known environmental remediation requirements when it is probable that the Company has incurred a liability and the related costs can be reasonably estimated. The Company considers various factors when estimating its environmental liabilities, and adjustments are made when additional information becomes available that affects the estimated costs to study or remediate any environmental issues. When only a wide range of estimated amounts can be reasonably established and no other amount within the range is better than another, the low end of the range is recorded in the consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 2020, no accruals have been made. As of September 30, 2020, there were no outstanding claims against the Company that are expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Purchase and Capital Improvement Commitments As of September 30, 2020, the Company had commitments totaling $27.3 million, of which $7.3 million relates to future acquisitions, with the remainder to fund improvements on properties the Company currently owns. Commitments related to acquisitions contain standard cancellation clauses contingent on the results of due diligence. $18.1 million of these commitments are expected to be funded during fiscal year 2020, with the remainder to be funded by the end of 2021. Lessee Contracts The Company leases its current corporate office space and certain office equipment, which are classified as operating leases. The Company's lease of its corporate office space has an initial term that expires on January 31, 2027 and is renewable at the Company's option for two additional periods of five years each after the initial term. The corporate office lease contains a variable lease cost related to the lease of parking spaces and a non-lease component related to the reimbursement of certain common area maintenance expenses, both of which are recognized as incurred. The Company is also a lessee under five long-term, non-cancellable ground leases under which it is obligated to pay monthly rent as of September 30, 2020. For all five of the ground leases, rental expenses are reimbursed by unrelated third parties, and the corresponding rental revenue is recorded in rental income on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. All leases are classified as operating leases and have a weighted average remaining lease term of 7.0 years. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had a right-of-use lease asset balance of $4.8 million and total operating lease liabilities of $6.6 million for these lessee contracts.

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative and Hedging Activities	NOTE 7. DERIVATIVE AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES The Company uses interest rate derivative contracts to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates on its variable rate debt. These derivatives are considered cash flow hedges and are recorded on a gross basis at fair value. Assessments of hedge effectiveness are performed quarterly using either a qualitative or quantitative approach. The Company recognizes the entire change in the fair value in AOCL and the change is reflected as cash flow hedge changes in fair value in the supplemental disclosures of non-cash investing and financing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows. Amounts will subsequently be reclassified to earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for speculative or trading purposes and does not have derivative netting arrangements. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by its derivative counterparties. The Company evaluates counterparty credit risk through monitoring the creditworthiness of counterparties, which includes review of debt ratings and financial performance. To mitigate credit risk, the Company enters into agreements with counterparties it considers credit-worthy, such as large financial institutions with favorable credit ratings. In December 2018, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements. In the third quarter of 2019, the Company terminated its interest rate swaps and accelerated the reclassification of a loss of $12.5 million from AOCL to termination of interest rate swaps as a result of a portion of the hedged forecasted transactions becoming probable not to occur. There were no events of default related to the interest rate swaps prior to their termination. Given that a portion of the hedged transactions remained probable to occur, $12.3 million of the loss was deferred in other comprehensive loss and will be amortized over the remaining initial term of the interest rate swaps, which ends March 31, 2024. As of , the unamortized portion of loss in AOCL related to terminated interest rate swaps was $9.4 million. The following table provides information about the amounts recorded in AOCL, as well as the loss recorded in operations, when reclassified out of AOCL or recognized in earnings immediately (in thousands): Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 Gross amount of loss recognized in AOCL on derivatives $ — $ (4,267 ) $ — $ (18,593 ) Amount of loss reclassified from AOCL to termination of interest rate swaps — 12,462 — 12,462 Amount of loss reclassified from AOCL to interest (1) 702 577 2,106 1,128 Net reclassification of amounts from (to) AOCL $ 702 $ 8,772 $ 2,106 $ (5,003 ) (1) Interest expense was $26.4 million and $77.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and $24.7 million and $76.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	NOTE 8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements Fair value measurement of an asset on a nonrecurring basis occurs when events or changes in circumstances related to an asset indicate that the carrying amount of the asset is no longer recoverable. Real estate assets and their related intangible assets are evaluated for impairment based on certain indicators including, but not limited to: the asset being held for sale, vacant or non-operating, tenant bankruptcy or delinquency, and leases expiring in 60 days or less. The fair values of impaired real estate and intangible assets were determined by using the following information, depending on availability, in order of preference: signed purchase and sale agreements (“PSA”) or letters of intent (“LOI”); broker opinions of value (“BOV”); recently quoted bid or ask prices, or market prices for comparable properties; estimates of discounted cash flows, which consider, among other things, contractual and forecasted rental revenues, leasing assumptions, expenses based upon market conditions and capitalization rates; and expectations for the use of the real estate. Based on these inputs, the Company determined that its valuation of the impaired real estate and intangible assets falls within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The following table sets forth the Company’s assets that were accounted for at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of their respective measurement dates (in thousands): Fair Value Hierarchy Level Description Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets held at September 30, 2020 Impaired at March 31, 2020 $ 41,171 $ — $ — $ 41,171 Impaired at June 30, 2020 $ 8,055 $ — $ — $ 8,055 Impaired at September 30, 2020 $ 18,097 $ — $ — $ 18,097 Assets held at December 31, 2019 Impaired at June 30, 2019 $ 1,893 $ — $ — $ 1,893 Impaired at September 30, 2019 $ 1,093 $ — $ — $ 1,093 Impaired at December 31, 2019 $ 11,594 $ — $ — $ 11,594 As of September 30, 2020, the Company held 27 properties that were impaired during 2020. As of December 31, 2019, the Company held 16 properties that were impaired during 2019. For one of the properties held at September 30, 2020, the Company estimated fair value using a capitalization rate of 10.06% based on comparative capitalization rates from market comparables. For one of the properties held at December 31, 2019, the Company estimated fair value using a capitalization rate of 9.62% based on comparative capitalization rates from market comparables. For the remaining properties, the Company estimated property fair value using price per square foot from unobservable inputs and, for the properties valued using comparable properties during 2020, the price per square foot includes a discount of 0-10% to account for the market impact of COVID-19. The unobservable inputs for the remaining properties are as follows: Unobservable Input Asset Type Property Count Price Per Square Foot Range Weighted Average Price Per Square Foot Square Footage September 30, 2020 Comparable Properties Retail 14 $4.35 - $320.89 $49.77 573,784 PSA, LOI or BOV Retail 11 $28.62 - $331.67 $50.41 418,139 PSA, LOI or BOV Office 1 $71.23 $71.23 4,310 December 31, 2019 Comparable Properties Retail 4 $34.45 - $740.74 $104.84 35,885 PSA, LOI or BOV Retail 10 $24.78 - $323.00 $50.71 165,773 PSA, LOI or BOV Office 1 $99.37 $99.37 4,310 Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments Financial assets and liabilities for which the carrying values approximate their fair values include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and escrow deposits, and accounts receivable and payable. Generally, these assets and liabilities are short-term in duration and are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value, on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. In addition , companies are required to disclose the estimated fair values of all financial instruments, even if they are not carried at their fair values. The fair values of financial instruments are estimates based upon market conditions and perceived risks at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 . These estimates require management’s judgment and may not be indicative of the future fair values of the assets and liabilities. The estimated fair values of these financial instruments have been derived either based on (i) market quotes for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active or (ii) discounted cash flow analyses using estimates of the amount and timing of future cash flows, market rates and credit spreads. These measurements are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Market-Based Awards During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Board of Directors, or committee thereof, approved target grants of 88 thousand market-based awards to executive officers of the Company. The performance period of these grants runs primarily through December 31, 2022. Potential shares of the Corporation’s common stock that each participant is eligible to receive is based on the initial target number of shares granted, multiplied by a percentage range between 0% and 300%. Grant date fair value of the market-based share awards was calculated using the Monte Carlo simulation model, which incorporated stock price volatility of the Company and each of the Company’s peers and other variables over the time horizons matching the performance periods. Significant inputs for the calculation were expected volatility of the Company of 25.2% and expected volatility of the Company's peers, ranging from 18.1% to 27.3%, with an average volatility of 21.7% and a risk-free interest rate of 1.07%. The fair value of the market-based award per share was $67.30 as of the grant date. Stock-based compensation expense associated with unvested market-based share awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the minimum required service period, which is generally three years. Approximately $1.9 million and $2.7 million in dividend rights have been accrued as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. For outstanding non-vested awards at September 30, 2020, 0.3 million shares would have been released based on the Corporation’s TSR relative to the specified peer groups through that date. Stock-based Compensation Expense For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized $3.0 million and $3.5 million, respectively, in stock-based compensation expense, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized $9.7 million and $11.0 million, respectively. These amounts are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2020, the remaining unamortized stock-based compensation expense totaled $15.4 million, comprised of $8.1 million related to restricted stock awards and $7.3 million related to market-based awards. As of December 31, 2019, the unamortized stock-based compensation expense totaled $12.6 million, comprised of $6.6 million related to restricted stock awards and $6.0 million related to market-based awards. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period of each applicable award.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Income Per Share and Partnership Unit	NOTE 10. INCOME PER SHARE AND PARTNERSHIP UNIT Income per share and unit has been computed using the two-class method, which is computed by dividing the sum of distributed earnings to common stockholders and undistributed earnings allocated to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. In applying the two-class method, undistributed earnings are allocated to both shares of common stock and participating securities based on the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Classification of the Company's unvested restricted stock, which contain rights to receive nonforfeitable dividends, are deemed participating securities under the two-class method. Under the two-class method, earnings attributable to unvested restricted shares are deducted from income from continuing operations in the computation of net income attributable to common stockholders.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	9 Months Ended

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Accounting	The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company and the Operating Partnership have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements include the normal, recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the information required to be set forth therein. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year. Certain information and note disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, have been condensed or omitted from these statements pursuant to SEC rules and regulations and, accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as filed with the SEC in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Consolidation	The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements of the Operating Partnership include the accounts of the Operating Partnership and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. All expenses incurred by the Company have been allocated to the Operating Partnership in accordance with the Operating Partnership's first amended and restated agreement of limited partnership, which management determined to be a reasonable method of allocation. Therefore, expenses incurred would not be materially different if the Operating Partnership had operated as an unaffiliated entity. These consolidated financial statements include certain special purpose entities that were formed to acquire and hold real estate encumbered by indebtedness (see Note 4). Each special purpose entity is a separate legal entity and is the sole owner of its assets and responsible for its liabilities. The assets of these special purpose entities are not available to pay, or otherwise satisfy obligations to, the creditors of any affiliate or owner of another entity unless the special purpose entities have expressly agreed and are permitted to do so under their governing documents. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, net assets totaling $350.4 million and $375.5 million, respectively, were held, and net liabilities totaling $216.7 million and $231.7 million, respectively, were owed by these encumbered special purpose entities and are included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although management believes its estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Segment Reporting	Segment Reporting The Company views its operations as one segment, which consists of net leasing operations. The Company has no other reportable segments.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Rental Income: Cash and Straight-line Rent The Company primarily leases real estate to its tenants under long-term, triple-net leases that are classified as operating leases. To evaluate lease classification, the Company assesses the terms and conditions of the lease to determine the appropriate lease term. The Company does not include options to extend, terminate or purchase in its evaluation for lease classification purposes or for recognizing rental income unless the Company is reasonably certain the tenant will exercise the option. Another component of lease classification that requires judgment is the residual value of the property at the end of the lease term. For acquisitions, the Company assumes a value that is equal to the tangible value of the property at the date of the assessment. For lease modifications, the Company generally uses sales comparables or a direct capitalization approach to determine fair value. The Company’s leases generally provide for rent escalations throughout the term of the lease. For leases with fixed rent escalators, rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis to produce a constant periodic rent over the term of the lease. Accordingly, accrued rental revenue, calculated as the aggregate difference between the rental revenue recognized on a straight-line basis and scheduled rents, represents unbilled rent receivables that the Company will receive only if the tenants make all rent payments required through the expiration of the initial term of the leases. For leases with contingent rent escalators, rental income typically increases at a multiple of any increase in the CPI over a specified period and may adjust over a one-year Some of the Company’s leases also provide for contingent rent based on a percentage of the tenant’s gross sales, which is recognized as rental income when the change in the factor on which the contingent lease payment is based actually occurs. Rental income is subject to an evaluation for collectability, which includes management’s estimates of amounts that will not be realized based on an assessment of the risks inherent in the portfolio, considering historical experience, as well as the tenant's payment history and financial condition. The Company does not recognize rental income for amounts that are not probable of collection. Rental Income: Tenant Reimbursement Revenue Under a triple-net lease, the tenant is typically responsible for all improvements and is contractually obligated to pay all property operating expenses, such as real estate taxes, insurance premiums and repair and maintenance costs. Certain leases contain additional amounts recoverable from tenants for common area maintenance expenses and certain other recoverable expenses, which are non-lease components. The Company has elected to combine all its non-lease components, which were determined to have the same pattern of transfer as the related operating lease component, into a single combined lease component. Tenant reimbursement revenue is variable and is recognized as revenue in the period in which the related expenses are incurred, with the related expenses included in property costs (including reimbursable) on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Tenant reimbursements are recorded on a gross basis in instances when our tenants reimburse us for property costs which we incur. Tenant receivables are reduced for amounts that are not probable of collection. Rental Income: Intangible Amortization Initial direct costs associated with the origination of a lease are deferred and amortized as an adjustment to rental revenue. Above-market and below-market lease intangibles are amortized as a decrease and increase, respectively, to rental revenue. In-place lease intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis and included in depreciation and amortization expense. All lease intangibles are amortized over the remaining term of the respective leases, which includes the initial term of the lease and may also include the renewal periods if the Company believes it is reasonably certain the tenant will exercise the renewal option. If the Company subsequently determines it is reasonably certain that the tenant will not exercise the renewal option, the unamortized portion of any related lease intangible is accelerated over the remaining initial term of the lease. If the Company believes the intangible balance is no longer recoverable, the unamortized portion of any related lease intangible is immediately recognized in impairments in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash	Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash Cash and cash equivalents include cash and highly liquid investment securities with maturities at acquisition of three months or less. The Company invests cash primarily in money market funds of major financial institutions with fund investments consisting of highly-rated money market instruments and other short-term investments. Restricted cash is classified within deferred costs and other assets, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash consisted of the following (in thousands): September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 September 30, 2019 Cash and cash equivalents $ 116,814 $ 14,492 $ 358,440 Restricted cash: Collateral deposits (1) 460 347 469 Tenant improvements, repairs and leasing commissions (2) 12,215 10,877 10,431 Other (3) — 307 326 Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 129,489 $ 26,023 $ 369,666 (1) (2) (3)
Tenant Receivables	Tenant Receivables The Company reviews its rent and other tenant receivables for collectability on a regular basis, taking into consideration changes in factors such as the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates, and economic conditions in the area in which the tenant operates. If the collectability of a receivable with respect to any tenant is not probable of collection, a direct write-off of the specific receivable will be made. The Company had accounts receivable balances of $28.5 million and $7.7 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, after the impact of $14.3 million and $3.8 million of receivables, respectively, were deemed not probable of collection. Receivables are recorded within deferred cost and other assets, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. For receivable balances related to the straight-line method of reporting rental revenue, the collectability is generally assessed in conjunction with the evaluation of rental income as described above. The Company had straight-line rent receivables of $89.3 million and $83.6 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, after the impact of $11.0 million and $0.4 million of receivables, respectively, were deemed not probable of collection. These receivables are recorded within deferred costs and other assets, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Goodwill	Goodwill Goodwill arises from business combinations and represents the excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the net fair value amounts that were assigned to the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Corporation has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code. As a REIT, the Corporation generally will not be subject to federal income tax provided it continues to satisfy certain tests concerning the Company’s sources of income, the nature of the Company’s assets, the amounts distributed to the Corporation’s stockholders and the ownership of Corporation stock. Management believes the Corporation has qualified and will continue to qualify as a REIT. Even if the Corporation qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it may be subject to state and local income and franchise taxes, and to federal income tax and excise tax on its undistributed income. Taxable income earned by any of the Company's taxable REIT subsidiaries , including from non-REIT activities, is subject to federal, state and local taxes. The rights and obligations of the Asset Management Agreement were transferred to SRAM, a wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary of Spirit , on April 1, 2019 , which was subsequently terminated and simultaneously replaced by the Interim Management Agreement between SRAM and SMTA , effective from September 20, 2019 through September 4, 2020 . Accordingly, all asset management fees earned from April 1, 2019 through September 4, 2020 , including the termination fee income earned in September 2019 , were subject to income tax. The components of income taxes are as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 US Federal income tax $ 38 $ 10,402 $ 81 $ 10,500 State income tax 159 788 325 1,230 Total income tax $ 197 $ 11,190 $ 406 $ 11,730 The federal income tax related to SRAM for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $10.4 and $10.5 million, respectively, and the state income tax for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $0.7 million. Income tax expense for SRAM attributable to income before income taxes differs from the amounts computed by applying the U.S. statutory federal income tax rate of 21% to income before income taxes. The difference between the statutory rate and reported amount for SRAM was caused by non-deductible executive compensation expenses totaling $0.7 million and the impact of state income taxes, net of federal income tax benefit, totaling $0.2 million. SRAM had no material deferred income taxes and liabilities as of September 30, 2019. The Operating Partnership is a partnership for federal income tax purposes. Partnerships are pass-through entities and are not subject to U.S. federal income taxes, therefore no provision has been made for federal income taxes in the accompanying financial statements. Although most states and cities where the Operating Partnership operates follow the U.S. federal income tax treatment, there are certain jurisdictions such as Texas, Tennessee and Ohio that impose income or franchise taxes on a partnership. Franchise taxes are included in general and administrative expenses on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
New Accounting Pronouncements	New Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments In April 2020, the FASB released a Staff Q&A regarding the accounting for lease concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The FASB noted that the underlying premise in requiring a modified lease to be accounted for as if it were a new lease under ASC 842 is that the modified terms and conditions affect the economics of the lease for the remainder of the lease term. As such, the FASB staff clarified that it would be acceptable for entities to make an election to account for lease concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic consistent with how those concessions would be accounted for under ASC 842 as though enforceable rights and obligations for those concessions existed (regardless of whether those enforceable rights and obligations for the concessions explicitly exist in the contract). The Company made this election and accounts for rent deferrals by increasing the rent receivables as receivables accrue and continuing to recognize income during the deferral period, resulting in $1.8 million and $24.1 million of deferrals being recognized in rental income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The deferral periods range generally from one to six months, with an average deferral period of three months and an average repayment period of 13 months. Lease concessions other than rent deferrals are evaluated to determine if a substantive change to the consideration in the original lease contract has occurred and should be accounted for as a lease modification. Management continues to evaluate any amounts recognized for collectability, regardless of whether accounted for as a lease modification or not, and records a provision for losses against rental income for amounts that are not probable of collection. For lease concessions granted in conjunction with the COVID-19 pandemic, management reviewed all amounts recognized on a tenant-by-tenant basis for collectability.
