Business And Organization

Business And Organization	9 Months Ended

Nature Of Operations [Abstract]
BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION	BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION Federal Realty Investment Trust (the "Parent Company" and the “Trust”) is an equity real estate investment trust (“REIT”). Federal Realty OP LP (the "Operating Partnership") is the entity through which the Parent Company conducts substantially all of its operations and owns all of its assets. The Parent Company owns 100% of the limited liability company interests of, is sole member of and exercises exclusive control over Federal Realty GP LLC ("the General Partner"), which in turn, is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company specializes in the ownership, management, and redevelopment of retail and mixed-use properties through the Operating Partnership, and has no other substantial assets or liabilities other than through its investment in the Operating Partnership. Our properties are located primarily in communities where we believe retail demand exceeds supply, in strategically selected metropolitan markets in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions of the United States, California, and South Florida. As of September 30, 2022, we owned or had a majority interest in community and neighborhood shopping centers and mixed-use properties which are operated as 104 predominantly retail real estate projects. We operate in a manner intended to enable the Trust to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. A REIT that distributes at least 90% of its taxable income to its shareholders each year and meets certain other conditions is not taxed on that portion of its taxable income which is distributed to its shareholders. Therefore, federal income taxes on our taxable income have been and are generally expected to be immaterial. We are obligated to pay state taxes, generally consisting of franchise or gross receipts taxes in certain states. Such state taxes also have not been material.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of presentation In January 2022, we completed a reorganization into an umbrella partnership real estate investment trust, or "UPREIT." For additional information on our UPREIT reorganization, please see our Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 3, 2022 and January 5, 2022, as well our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 10, 2022. Immediately following the reorganization, the Parent Company had the same consolidated assets and liabilities as Federal Realty Investment Trust immediately before the reorganization. The Parent Company exercises exclusive control over the General Partner and does not have assets or liabilities other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. As a result, the UPREIT reorganization represented a merger of entities under common control in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements including the notes thereto, are presented as if the UPREIT reorganization had occurred at the earliest period presented. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Parent Company and Operating Partnership have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation for the periods presented have been included. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. Certain 2021 amounts have been reclassified to conform to our current period presentation. Principles of Consolidation As discussed in the Explanatory Note , we have combined the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership into this single report. As a result, we present two sets of consolidated financial statements. Both sets of consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the entity, its corporate subsidiaries, and all entities in which it has a controlling interest or has been determined to be the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). The Parent Company's consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries as the Parent Company, through its ownership and control over the General Partner, exercises exclusive control over the Operating Partnership. The equity interests of other investors are reflected as noncontrolling interests or redeemable noncontrolling interests. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. We account for our interests in joint ventures which we do not control using the equity method of accounting. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, referred to as “GAAP,” requires management to make estimates and assumptions that in certain circumstances affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and revenues and expenses. These estimates are prepared using management’s best judgment, after considering past, current and expected events and economic conditions. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Impacts of COVID-19 Pandemic and General Economic Conditions Given ongoing workforce shortages, global supply chain bottlenecks and shortages, higher levels of inflation, and rising interest rates, we continue to monitor and address risks related to the global COVID-19 pandemic and the state of the economy. The extent of the future effects of COVID-19 and potentially worsening economic conditions on our business, results of operations, cash flows, and growth prospects is highly uncertain and will ultimately depend on future developments, none of which can be predicted with any certainty. Our collection of rents has continued to improve including collecting rents related to prior periods. As a result, our collectibility related adjustments resulted in an increase to rental income of $0.9 million and $2.9 million, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to a decrease to rental income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 of $0.6 million and $21.8 million, respectively, which reflected lower levels of cash collections and elevated levels of rent abatements and disputes directly related to COVID-19. As of September 30, 2022, the revenue from approximately 31% of our tenants (based on total commercial leases) is being recognized on a cash basis. As of September 30, 2022, we executed rent deferral agreements related to the COVID-19 pandemic representing approximately $47 million of rent. We have subsequently collected approximately $33 million of those amounts previously deferred. For more information, see Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Outlook. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Standard Description Effect on the financial statements or significant matters ASU 2020-04, March 2020, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) This ASU provides companies with optional practical expedients to ease the accounting burden for contract modifications associated with transitioning away from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates that are expected to be discontinued as part of reference rate reform. For hedges, the guidance generally allows changes to the reference rate and other critical terms without having to de-designate the hedging relationship, as well as allows the shortcut method to continue to be applied. For contract modifications, changes in the reference rate or other critical terms will be treated as a continuation of the prior contract. This guidance can be applied immediately, however, is generally only available through December 31, 2022. We expect to apply some of the practical expedients, as we are in the process of transitioning the $55.4 million mortgage loan at Hoboken and the $39.2 million mortgage loan related to the unconsolidated Assembly Row hotel (of which our share is $19.6 million) from LIBOR to alternative interest rates. We do not expect a significant impact to our financial results, financial position, or cash flows from this transition. ASU 2022-03, June 2022, Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (Topic 820) This ASU clarifies that contractual sale restrictions are not considered in measuring the fair value of equity securities, and requires specific disclosures for all entities with equity securities subject to a contractual sale restriction including (1) the fair value of such equity securities reflected in the balance sheet, (2) the nature and remaining duration of the corresponding restrictions, and (3) any circumstances that could cause a lapse in the restrictions. In addition, the ASU prohibits an entity from recognizing a contractual sale as a separate unit of account. This guidance is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We are assessing the impact of this ASU on OP units issued as consideration in future acquisitions.

Debt Instruments [Abstract]
DEBT	DEBT On June 29, 2022, we repaid the $16.1 million mortgage loan on one of the buildings at our Hoboken property, at par. During both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the maximum amount of borrowings outstanding under our $1.0 billion revolving credit facility was $330.0 million. The weighted average amount of borrowings outstanding was $229.5 million and $97.8 million, respectively, and the weighted average interest rate, before amortization of debt fees, was 3.4% and 3.1%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. At September 30, 2022, our revolving credit facility had $267.0 million outstanding. Effective April 1, 2022, as a result of the change in our credit rating, the spread over LIBOR on our revolving credit facility increased from 77.5 basis points to 82.5 basis, and the spread over LIBOR on our unsecured term loan increased from 80 basis points to 85 basis points. Our revolving credit facility, term loan, and certain notes require us to comply with various financial covenants, including the maintenance of minimum shareholders' equity and debt coverage ratios and a maximum ratio of debt to net worth. As of September 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all default related debt covenants.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS	FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Except as disclosed below, the carrying amount of our financial instruments approximates their fair value. The fair value of our mortgages payable, notes payable and senior notes and debentures is sensitive to fluctuations in interest rates. Quoted market prices (Level 1) were used to estimate the fair value of our marketable senior notes and debentures and discounted cash flow analysis (Level 2) is generally used to estimate the fair value of our mortgages and notes payable. Considerable judgment is necessary to estimate the fair value of financial instruments. The estimates of fair value presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized upon disposition of the financial instruments. A summary of the carrying amount and fair value of our mortgages payable, notes payable and senior notes and debentures is as follows: September 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 Carrying Fair Value Carrying Fair Value (In thousands) Mortgages and notes payable, net $ 889,601 $ 867,018 $ 641,459 $ 655,864 Senior notes and debentures, net $ 3,407,298 $ 3,043,034 $ 3,406,088 $ 3,649,776 As of September 30, 2022, we have two interest rate swap agreements with notional amounts of $55.4 million that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The interest rate swap agreements fix the interest rate on $55.4 million of mortgage payables at 3.67% through December 15, 2029. The fair values of the interest rate swap agreements are based on the estimated amounts we would receive or pay to terminate the contracts at the reporting date and are determined using interest rate pricing models and interest rate related observable inputs. The fair value of our swaps at September 30, 2022 was an asset of $6.5 million and is included in "prepaid expenses and other assets" on our consolidated balance sheets. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the value of our interest rate swaps increased $2.6 million and $8.0 million, respectively (including less than $0.1 million reclassified from other comprehensive income as a decrease to interest expense for the three months ended and $0.3 million for the nine months ended reclassified from other comprehensive income as an increase to interest expense, respectively).

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES We are sometimes involved in lawsuits, warranty claims, and environmental matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Management makes assumptions and estimates concerning the likelihood and amount of any potential loss relating to these matters. We are currently a party to various legal proceedings. We accrue a liability for litigation if an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. If an unfavorable outcome is probable and a reasonable estimate of the loss is a range, we accrue the best estimate within the range; however, if no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, the minimum within the range is accrued. Legal fees related to litigation are expensed as incurred. We do not believe that the ultimate outcome of these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on our financial position or overall trends in results of operations; however, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties. Also under our leases, tenants are typically obligated to indemnify us from and against all liabilities, costs and expenses imposed upon or asserted against us (1) as owner of the properties due to certain matters relating to the operation of the properties by the tenant, and (2) where appropriate, due to certain matters relating to the ownership of the properties prior to their acquisition by us. On July 13, 2022, we acquired the 21.8% redeemable noncontrolling interest in the partnership that owns our Plaza El Segundo shopping center for $23.6 million, bringing our ownership interest to 100%. On December 11, 2019, we received proceeds related to the sale under the threat of condemnation at San Antonio Center as discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. We indemnified the condemning authority for all costs incurred related to the condemnation proceedings including any payments required to tenants at the property and recorded a corresponding liability for our estimate of these costs. During September 2022, we recorded a net reduction to our liability for condemnation and transaction costs to reflect the impact of a recent tenant settlement agreement and our current estimate of remaining costs, and accordingly, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we have recognized a gain of $9.3 million, which is included in our consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we incurred $2.9 million of payments to tenants, and consequently, at September 30, 2022, we have a liability of $20.1 million to reflect our estimate of the remaining consideration. Under the terms of certain partnership agreements, the partners have the right to exchange their operating partnership units for cash or common shares, at our option. A total of 652,233 downREIT operating partnership units are outstanding which have a total fair value of approximately $58.8 million, which is calculated by multiplying the outstanding number of downREIT partnership units by our closing stock price on September 30, 2022.

The ATM equity program also allows shares to be sold through forward sales contracts. We intend to use the net proceeds to fund potential acquisition opportunities, fund our development and redevelopment pipeline, repay indebtedness and/or for general corporate purposes. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we issued 296,843 common shares at a weighted average price per share of $112.11 for net cash proceeds of $32.9 million including paying $0.3 million in commissions and $0.1 million in additional offering expenses related to the sales of these common shares. We have the remaining capacity to issue up to $466.7 million in common shares under our ATM equity program as of September 30, 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we settled forward sales agreements by issuing 2,203,655 common shares for net proceeds of $259.4 million. We have no outstanding forward sales agreements as of September 30, 2022.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
EARNINGS PER SHARE	EARNINGS PER SHARE AND UNIT We have calculated earnings per share (“EPS”) and earnings per unit ("EPU") under the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation methodology whereby EPS and EPU for each class of common stock and partnership units, respectively, and participating securities is calculated according to dividends or distributions declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we had 0.3 million weighted average unvested shares and units outstanding, which are considered participating securities. Therefore, we have allocated our earnings for basic and diluted EPS and EPU between common shares and units and unvested shares and units; the portion of earnings allocated to the unvested shares and units is reflected as “earnings allocated to unvested shares” or "earnings allocated to unvested units" in the reconciliations below. The following potentially issuable shares were excluded from the diluted EPS and EPU calculations because their impact is anti-dilutive: • exercise of 682 stock options for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, • conversions of downREIT operating partnership units for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, • conversions of 5.417% Series 1 Cumulative Convertible Preferred Shares and units for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, and • the issuance of 1.8 million shares and units issuable under common share forward sales agreements for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 0.9 million and 1.7 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. Additionally, 10,441 unvested restricted stock units are excluded from the diluted EPS and EPU calculations as the market based performance criteria in the awards has not yet been achieved.

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Event	SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On October 5, 2022, we amended our revolving credit facility, increasing the borrowing capacity from $1.0 billion to $1.25 billion, extending the maturity date to April 5, 2027, plus two six-month extension options, transitioning the interest rate provisions from LIBOR to the secured overnight financing rate ("SOFR"), and adjusting the spread for SOFR based loans. Our SOFR based loans bear interest at Daily Simple SOFR or Term SOFR as defined in the credit agreement plus 0.10% plus a spread, based on our credit rating. The current spread is 77.5 basis points. In addition, we have an option (subject to bank approval) to increase the credit facility through an accordion feature to $1.75 billion. On October 5, 2022, we also amended our unsecured term loan and borrowed an additional $300.0 million, bringing the total outstanding to $600.0 million. The term loan amendment also transitioned the interest rate provisions from LIBOR to SOFR, with the basis point spread over SOFR remaining at 85 basis points, based on our current credit rating. The net proceeds from the term loan were used to repay the $267.0 million outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes. On October 6, 2022, we acquired a 47.5% interest in an unconsolidated joint venture that owns two shopping centers totaling 617,000 square feet in Chandler, Arizona for $58.9 million. The properties have combined mortgage debt of $76.1 million, of which our share is approximately $36.2 million.

Summary of Significant Accoun_2

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policy)	9 Months Ended

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of presentation In January 2022, we completed a reorganization into an umbrella partnership real estate investment trust, or "UPREIT." For additional information on our UPREIT reorganization, please see our Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 3, 2022 and January 5, 2022, as well our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 10, 2022. Immediately following the reorganization, the Parent Company had the same consolidated assets and liabilities as Federal Realty Investment Trust immediately before the reorganization. The Parent Company exercises exclusive control over the General Partner and does not have assets or liabilities other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. As a result, the UPREIT reorganization represented a merger of entities under common control in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements including the notes thereto, are presented as if the UPREIT reorganization had occurred at the earliest period presented. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Parent Company and Operating Partnership have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation for the periods presented have been included. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. Certain 2021 amounts have been reclassified to conform to our current period presentation.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation As discussed in the Explanatory Note , we have combined the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership into this single report. As a result, we present two sets of consolidated financial statements. Both sets of consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the entity, its corporate subsidiaries, and all entities in which it has a controlling interest or has been determined to be the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). The Parent Company's consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries as the Parent Company, through its ownership and control over the General Partner, exercises exclusive control over the Operating Partnership. The equity interests of other investors are reflected as noncontrolling interests or redeemable noncontrolling interests. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. We account for our interests in joint ventures which we do not control using the equity method of accounting.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, referred to as “GAAP,” requires management to make estimates and assumptions that in certain circumstances affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and revenues and expenses. These estimates are prepared using management’s best judgment, after considering past, current and expected events and economic conditions. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Standard Description Effect on the financial statements or significant matters ASU 2020-04, March 2020, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) This ASU provides companies with optional practical expedients to ease the accounting burden for contract modifications associated with transitioning away from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates that are expected to be discontinued as part of reference rate reform. For hedges, the guidance generally allows changes to the reference rate and other critical terms without having to de-designate the hedging relationship, as well as allows the shortcut method to continue to be applied. For contract modifications, changes in the reference rate or other critical terms will be treated as a continuation of the prior contract. This guidance can be applied immediately, however, is generally only available through December 31, 2022. We expect to apply some of the practical expedients, as we are in the process of transitioning the $55.4 million mortgage loan at Hoboken and the $39.2 million mortgage loan related to the unconsolidated Assembly Row hotel (of which our share is $19.6 million) from LIBOR to alternative interest rates. We do not expect a significant impact to our financial results, financial position, or cash flows from this transition. ASU 2022-03, June 2022, Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (Topic 820) This ASU clarifies that contractual sale restrictions are not considered in measuring the fair value of equity securities, and requires specific disclosures for all entities with equity securities subject to a contractual sale restriction including (1) the fair value of such equity securities reflected in the balance sheet, (2) the nature and remaining duration of the corresponding restrictions, and (3) any circumstances that could cause a lapse in the restrictions. In addition, the ASU prohibits an entity from recognizing a contractual sale as a separate unit of account. This guidance is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We are assessing the impact of this ASU on OP units issued as consideration in future acquisitions.
