Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Business Weingarten Realty Investors is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) organized under the Texas Business Organizations Code. We currently operate, and intend to operate in the future, as a REIT. We, and our predecessor entity, began the ownership of shopping centers and other commercial real estate in 1948. Our primary business is leasing space to tenants in the shopping centers we own or lease. We also provide property management services for which we charge fees to either joint ventures where we are partners or other outside owners. We operate a portfolio of neighborhood and community shopping centers, totaling approximately 29.8 million square feet of gross leasable area that is either owned by us or others. We have a diversified tenant base, with our largest tenant comprising only 2.7% of base minimum rental revenues during the three months of 2021. Total revenues generated by our centers located in Houston and its surrounding areas was 24.0% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021, and an additional 8.0% of total revenue was generated during this period from centers that are located in other parts of Texas. Also, in Florida and California, an additional 19.9% and 15.6%, respectively, of total revenue was generated during the three months ended March 31, 2021. On April 15, 2021, we announced our entry into a definitive merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with Kimco Realty Corporation (“Kimco”). The Merger Agreement provides that, among other things and on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, (1) the Company will be merged with and into Kimco (the “Merger”), with Kimco continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger, and (2) at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each common share of the Company (other than certain shares as set forth in the Merger Agreement) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically converted into the right to receive (i) $2.89 in cash and (ii) 1.408 shares of common stock of Kimco. During the period from the date of the Merger Agreement until the completion of the Merger, we are subject to certain restrictions on our ability to engage with third parties regarding alternative acquisition proposals and on the conduct of our business. The closing of the Merger is expected to occur in the second half of 2021, subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions. There can be no assurance that the Merger will be completed on the terms or timeline currently contemplated or at all. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) a pandemic. The impact of COVID-19 continues to evolve and most cities and states have imposed measures to control its spread including social distancing and limiting group gatherings. These measures have created risks and uncertainties surrounding our operations and geographic concentrations. The pandemic has resulted in, at certain times and locations, the closure or limited operations of non-essential businesses and consumer/employee stay-at-home provisions. Given this continually evolving situation, the duration and severity of these matters and their ultimate effect are uncertain at this time. As judgments and estimates made by management are based on the best information available at the time, any evaluations impacted by future developments caused by the COVID-19 pandemic could result in inaccurate estimates when determining values that could be material to our consolidated financial statements. Basis of Presentation Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our subsidiaries, certain partially owned real estate joint ventures or partnerships and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) which meet the guidelines for consolidation. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report are unaudited; however, amounts presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 are derived from our audited financial statements at that date. In our opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements have been included. Such adjustments consisted of normal recurring items. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q and certain information included in our annual financial statements and notes thereto has been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2020. Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Such statements require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. We have evaluated subsequent events for recognition or disclosure in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Accrued Rent, Accrued Contract Receivables and Accounts Receivable, net The duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our tenants’ operations, including, in some cases, their ability to resume full operations as governmental and legislative measures are eased, has caused uncertainty in our ongoing ability to collect rents when due. Considering the potential impact of this uncertainty, our collection assessment continues to consider the type of retailer and current discussions with the tenants, as well as recent rent collection experience and tenant bankruptcies based on the best information available to management at the time of evaluation. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we increased rental revenues by $1.7 million due to the realization of net recoveries and the reduction of receivables. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we reduced rental revenues by $9.4 million due primarily to COVID lease related reserves and write-offs, which included $7.6 million for straight-line rent receivables. Additionally, we continue to have lease negotiations with tenants directly related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, included in Accrued Rent, Accrued Contract Receivables and Accounts Receivable, net, we have deferred lease concessions not currently due of $7.8 million and $9.6 million, respectively. Additionally for the three months ended March 31, 2021, rent abatements totaled $2.0 million, which includes $1.5 million for cash basis tenants, and no abatements were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2020 (see Note 7 for additional information). Discussions are continuing with tenants as the effects of COVID-19 pandemic and related mandates evolve. Restricted Deposits and Escrows Restricted deposits are held or restricted for a specific use or in a qualified escrow account for the purposes of completing like-kind exchange transactions. Escrows consist of deposits held by third parties or lenders for a specific use, including capital improvements, rental income and taxes. Our restricted deposits and escrows consist of the following (in thousands): March 31, December 31, 2021 2020 Restricted deposits $ 12,068 $ 12,122 Escrows 359 216 Total $ 12,427 $ 12,338 Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss Changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss by component consists of the following (in thousands): Defined Benefit Pension Gain on Plan- Cash Flow Actuarial Hedges Loss Total Balance, December 31, 2020 $ (2,724) $ 14,774 $ 12,050 Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss 219 (1) (261) (2) (42) Net other comprehensive loss (income) 219 (261) (42) Balance, March 31, 2021 (2,505) 14,513 12,008 Defined Benefit Pension Gain on Plan- Cash Flow Actuarial Hedges Loss Total Balance, December 31, 2019 $ (3,614) $ 14,897 $ 11,283 Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss 221 (1) (297) (2) (76) Net other comprehensive loss (income) 221 (297) (76) Balance, March 31, 2020 (3,393) 14,600 11,207 (1) This reclassification component is included in interest expense. (2) This reclassification component is included in the computation of net periodic benefit cost (see Note 11 for additional information). Additionally, as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the net gain balance in accumulated other comprehensive loss relating to previously terminated cash flow interest rate swap contracts was $2.5 million and $2.7 million, respectively, which will be reclassified to net interest expense as interest payments are made on the originally hedged debt. Within the next 12 months, approximately $.9 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss is expected to be reclassified as a reduction to interest expense related to our interest rate contracts.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Note 2. Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)”, as amended by ASU No. 2021-01. This ASU contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in this ASU is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. At January 1, 2020, we elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. The adoption of this portion of the ASU did not have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements. We continue to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur. In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, “Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity.” The guidance in this ASU simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. This simplification results by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. Additionally, it removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception and simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation. The provisions of ASU No. 2020-06 are effective for us as of January 1, 2022 using either a modified retrospective method or a fully retrospective method, and early adoption is permitted beginning for us as of January 1, 2021. Although we are still assessing the impact of this ASU's adoption, we do not believe this ASU will have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.

Investment In Real Estate Joint Ventures And Partnerships	Note 4. Investment in Real Estate Joint Ventures and Partnerships We own interests in real estate joint ventures or limited partnerships in which we exercise significant influence, but do not have financial and operating control. We account for these investments using the equity method, and our interests ranged for the periods presented from 20% to 90% in both 2021 and 2020. Combined condensed financial information of these ventures (at 100%) is summarized as follows (in thousands): March 31, December 31, 2021 2020 Combined Condensed Balance Sheets ASSETS Property $ 1,095,952 $ 1,093,504 Accumulated depreciation (283,431) (275,802) Property, net 812,521 817,702 Other assets, net 83,686 81,285 Total Assets $ 896,207 $ 898,987 LIABILITIES AND EQUITY Debt, net (primarily mortgages payable) $ 191,860 $ 192,674 Amounts payable to Weingarten Realty Investors and Affiliates 9,505 9,836 Other liabilities, net 15,963 15,340 Total Liabilities 217,328 217,850 Equity 678,879 681,137 Total Liabilities and Equity $ 896,207 $ 898,987 Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 2020 Combined Condensed Statements of Operations Revenues, net $ 29,945 $ 33,739 Expenses: Depreciation and amortization 8,438 8,762 Interest, net 1,624 2,418 Operating 5,823 7,111 Real estate taxes, net 3,535 4,400 General and administrative 105 105 Provision for income taxes 16 36 Total 19,541 22,832 Gain on dispositions 48 44,699 Net income $ 10,452 $ 55,606 Our investment in real estate joint ventures and partnerships, as reported in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, differs from our proportionate share of the entities’ underlying net assets due to basis differences, which arose upon the transfer of assets to the joint ventures. The net positive basis differences, which totaled $10.6 million and $10.7 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, are generally amortized over the useful lives of the related assets. We recorded joint venture fee income of $1.6 million included in Other revenue for both the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. Additionally, for the three months ended March 31, 2021, our joint venture and partnerships have increased revenues by $.7 million due to the realization of net recoveries and reduction of receivables, of which our share totaled $.1 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, our joint venture and partnerships reduced revenues by $.8 million due primarily to COVID lease related reserves and write-offs, which included $.9 million for straight-line rent receivables. Of these amounts for the three months ended March 31, 2020, our share totaled $.3 million, which included $.3 million for straight-line rent receivables. For additional information, see Note 1. Effective as of March 31, 2021, a secured variable-rate loan of $170 million was extended to March 31, 2022 under an available one-year extension and has an additional one-year renewal option available. During 2020, we sold two centers and our interest in two centers, ranging from 20% to 50%, at an aggregate gross value of approximately $148.3 million, of which our share of the gain, included in equity earnings in real estate joint ventures and partnerships, totaled $23.5 million. Also during 2020, we invested an additional $8.7 million in a 90% owned unconsolidated real estate joint venture for a mixed-use new development. In December 2020, we acquired our partner’s 42.25% interest in a center at an unconsolidated real estate joint venture for approximately $115.2 million. The transaction resulted in the consolidation of the property in our consolidated financial statements.

This facility expires in March 2024, provides for two consecutive six-month extensions upon our request, and borrowing rates that float at a margin over LIBOR plus a facility fee. At both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the borrowing margin and facility fee, which are priced off a grid that is tied to our senior unsecured credit ratings, were 82.5 and 15 basis points, respectively. The facility also contains a competitive bid feature that allows us to request bids for up to $250 million. Additionally, an accordion feature allows us to increase the facility amount up to $850 million. Additionally, we have a $10 million unsecured short-term facility, which was amended and extended on March 24, 2021, that we maintain for cash management purposes, which matures in March 2022. At both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the facility provided for fixed interest rate loans at a 30-day LIBOR rate plus a borrowing margin, facility fee and an unused facility fee of 125, 10, and 5 basis points, respectively.

The bonds are to be repaid with incremental sales and property taxes and a public improvement fee (“PIF”) to be assessed on current and future retail sales and, to the extent necessary, any amounts we may have to provide under a guaranty. The incremental taxes and PIF are to remain intact until the earlier of the date the bond liability has been paid in full or 2040. Therefore, a debt service guaranty liability equal to the fair value of the amounts funded under the bonds was recorded. As of both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had $53.7 million outstanding for the debt service guaranty liability. Various leases and properties, and current and future rentals from those leases and properties, collateralize certain debt. At both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the carrying value of such assets aggregated $.6 billion. Additionally, at both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, investments of $6.0 million, included in Restricted Deposits and Escrows, are held as collateral for letters of credit totaling $6.0 million.

Leases [Abstract]
Leasing Operations	Note 7. Leasing Operations As a commercial real estate lessor, generally our leases are for terms of 10 years or less and may include multiple options, upon tenant election, to extend the lease term in increments up to five years. Our leases typically do not include an option to purchase. Tenant terminations prior to the lease end date occasionally results in a one-time termination fee based on the remaining unpaid lease payments including variable payments and could be material to the tenant. Many of our leases have increasing minimum rental rates during the terms of the leases through escalation provisions. In addition, the majority of our leases provide for variable rental revenues, such as, reimbursements of real estate taxes, maintenance and insurance and may include an amount based on a percentage of the tenants’ sales. Also, net rent abatements related to the COVID-19 pandemic of $.5 million were recorded as a reduction to variable lease payments for the three months ended March 31, 2021, and none were recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2020 (see Note 1 for additional information).

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Share Options and Awards	Note 10. Share Options and Awards During 2021, we granted share awards incorporating both service-based and market-based measures to promote share ownership among the participants and to emphasize the importance of total shareholder return (“TSR”). The term of each grant varies depending upon the participant’s responsibilities and position within the Company. We categorize these share awards as either service-based share awards or market-based share awards. All awards were valued at the fair market value on the date of grant and earn dividends from the date of grant. Compensation expense is measured at the grant date and recognized over the vesting period. Generally, unvested share awards are forfeited upon the termination of the participant’s employment with us without cause. The fair value of the market-based share awards was estimated on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo valuation model based on the following assumptions: Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 Minimum Maximum Dividend yield 3.5 % 6.0 % Expected volatility (1) 44.0 % 46.0 % Expected life (in years) N/A 3 Risk-free interest rate 0.0 % 0.16 % (1) Includes the volatility of the FTSE NAREIT U.S. Shopping Center Index and Weingarten Realty Investors. A summary of the status of unvested share awards for the three months ended March 31, 2021 is as follows: Weighted Average Unvested Grant Share Date Fair Awards Value Outstanding, January 1, 2021 856,295 $ 28.00 Granted: Service-based awards 224,554 20.81 Market-based awards relative to FTSE NAREIT U.S. Shopping Center Index 104,046 22.28 Market-based awards relative to three-year absolute TSR 104,045 21.90 Vested (249,307) 24.99 Outstanding, March 31, 2021 1,039,633 $ 25.98 As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there was approximately $3.1 million and $1.8 million, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share awards, which is expected to be amortized over a weighted average of 2.2 years and 1.6 years at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies Commitments and Contingencies As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we participated in two real estate ventures structured as DownREIT partnerships. We have operating and financial control over these ventures and consolidate them in our condensed consolidated financial statements. These ventures allow the outside limited partners to put their interest in the partnership to us, and we have the option to redeem the interest in cash or a fixed number of our common shares, at our discretion. We also participate in a real estate venture that has a property in Texas that allows its outside partner to put operating partnership units to us. We have the option to redeem these units in cash or a fixed number of our common shares, at our discretion. The aggregate redemption value of these interests was approximately $38 million and $31 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. As of March 31, 2021, we have entered into commitments aggregating $33.8 million comprised principally of construction contracts which are generally due in 12 We issue letters of intent signifying a willingness to negotiate for acquisitions, dispositions or joint ventures, as well as other types of potential transactions, during the ordinary course of our business. Such letters of intent and other arrangements are non-binding to all parties unless and until a definitive contract is entered into by the parties. Even if definitive contracts relating to the acquisition or disposition of property are entered into, these contracts generally provide the purchaser a time period to evaluate the property and conduct due diligence. The purchaser, during this time, will have the ability to terminate a contract without penalty or forfeiture of any deposit or earnest money. No assurance can be provided that any definitive contracts will be entered into with respect to any matter covered by letters of intent, or that we will consummate any transaction contemplated by a definitive contract. Additionally, due diligence periods for property transactions are frequently extended as needed. An acquisition or disposition of property becomes probable at the time the due diligence period expires and the definitive contract has not been terminated. Our risk is then generally extended only to any earnest money deposits associated with property acquisition contracts, and our obligation to sell under a property sales contract. We are subject to numerous federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations in the areas where we own or operate properties. We are not aware of any contamination which may have been caused by us or any of our tenants that would have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements. As part of our risk management activities, we have applied and been accepted into state sponsored environmental programs which will limit our expenses if contaminants need to be remediated. We also have an environmental insurance policy that covers us against third party liabilities and remediation costs. While we believe that we do not have any material exposure to environmental remediation costs, changes in the law or new discoveries of contamination may result in additional liabilities to us. Litigation We are involved in various matters of litigation arising in the normal course of business. While we are unable to predict the amounts involved, our management and counsel are of the opinion that, when such litigation is resolved, any additional liability, if any, will not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Variable Interest Entities

Variable Interest Entities	Mar. 31, 2021
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Variable Interest Entities	Note 13. Variable Interest Entities Consolidated VIEs: At both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, eight of our real estate joint ventures, whose activities primarily consisted of owning and operating 19 and 21 neighborhood/community shopping centers, respectively, were determined to be VIEs. Based on a financing agreement by one of our real estate joint ventures that has a bottom dollar guaranty, which is disproportionate to our ownership, we have determined that we are the primary beneficiary and have consolidated this joint venture. For the remaining real estate joint ventures, we concluded we are the primary beneficiary based primarily on our significant power to direct the entities’ activities without any substantive kick-out or participating rights. A summary of our consolidated VIEs is as follows (in thousands): March 31, December 31, 2021 2020 Assets Held by VIEs (1) $ 214,187 $ 225,719 Assets Held as Collateral for Debt (2) 39,703 41,798 Maximum Risk of Loss (2) 29,784 29,784 (1) The decrease between the periods is attributable primarily to disposition activities. (2) Represents the amount of debt and related assets held as collateral associated with the bottom dollar guaranty at one real estate joint venture. Restrictions on the use of these assets can be significant because they may serve as collateral for debt. Further, we are generally required to obtain our partner’s approval in accordance with the joint venture agreement for any major transactions. Transactions with these joint ventures in our condensed consolidated financial statements have primarily been positive as demonstrated by the generation of net income and operating cash flows, as well as the receipt of cash distributions. We and our partners are subject to the provisions of the joint venture agreements which include provisions for when additional contributions may be required to fund operating cash shortfalls, development expenditures, unplanned capital expenditures and repayment of debts. Unconsolidated VIEs: At both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, two unconsolidated real estate joint ventures were determined to be VIEs. We have determined that one entity was a VIE through the issuance of a secured loan, since the lender had the ability to make decisions that could have a significant impact on the success of the entity. This entity exercised the first of two one-year renewal options to extend the maturity of a $170 million loan to March 31, 2022. Based on the associated agreements for the future development of a mixed-use project, we concluded that the other entity was a VIE, but we are not the primary beneficiary as the substantive participating rights associated with the entity are shared, and we do not have the power to direct the significant activities of the entity. Our analysis considered that all major decisions require unanimous member consent and those decisions include significant activities such as development, financing, leasing and operations of the entity. A summary of our unconsolidated VIEs is as follows (in thousands): March 31, December 31, 2021 2020 Investment in Real Estate Joint Ventures and Partnerships, net (1) $ 131,690 $ 133,468 Other Liabilities, net (2) 7,362 7,624 Maximum Risk of Loss (3) 34,000 34,000 (1) The carrying amount of the investment represents our contributions to a real estate joint venture, net of any distributions made and our portion of the equity in earnings of the real estate joint venture. (2) Includes the carrying amount of an investment where distributions have exceeded our contributions and our portion of the equity in earnings for a real estate joint venture. (3) The maximum risk of loss has been determined to be limited to our debt exposure for the real estate joint ventures. Additionally, our investment, including contributions and distributions, associated with a mixed-use project is disclosed in (1) above. We and our partners are subject to the provisions of the joint venture agreements that specify conditions, including operating shortfalls, development expenditures and unplanned capital expenditures, under which additional contributions may be required.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Note 14. Fair Value Measurements The COVID-19 pandemic has created uncertainties surrounding the global economy and financial markets. As a result, the full magnitude of the pandemic and the ultimate effect upon the future of our fair value measurements are uncertain at this time. Any changes in fair value for financial instruments marked to fair value will have a direct impact to our financial statements, except for net changes in our investments held in grantor trust and its related obligations. Additionally, changes in fair values for financial instruments not marked to fair value will not have an impact to our financial statements unless plans change to sell or settle the instrument prior to its maturity. Recurring Fair Value Measurements: Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy in which those measurements fall, are as follows (in thousands): Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Significant Identical Other Significant Assets Observable Unobservable Fair Value at and Liabilities Inputs Inputs March 31, (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) 2021 Assets: Cash equivalents, primarily money market funds (1) $ 155 $ 155 Restricted cash, primarily money market funds (1) 9,962 9,962 Investments, mutual funds held in a grantor trust (1) 44,545 44,545 Total $ 54,662 $ — $ — $ 54,662 Liabilities: Deferred compensation plan obligations $ 44,545 $ 44,545 Total $ 44,545 $ — $ — $ 44,545 (1) For the three months ended March 31, 2021, a net gain of $1.1 million was included in Interest and Other Income (Expense), net, which represented an unrealized gain.

Included in these amounts for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was a net loss of $6.0 million, of which $6.3 million represented an unrealized loss. Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements: Property Impairments Property, including right-of-use assets, is reviewed for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the property, including any identifiable intangible assets, site costs and capitalized interest, may not be recoverable. In such an event, a comparison is made of the current and projected operating cash flows of each such property into the foreseeable future on an undiscounted basis to the carrying amount of such property. If we conclude that an impairment may have occurred, estimated fair values are determined by management utilizing cash flow models, market capitalization rates and market discount rates, or by obtaining third-party broker valuation estimates, appraisals, bona fide purchase offers or the expected sales price of an executed sales agreement in accordance with our fair value measurements accounting policy. Market capitalization rates and market discount rates are determined by reviewing current sales of similar properties and transactions, and utilizing management’s knowledge and expertise in property marketing. No assets were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at March 31, 2021. Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at December 31, 2020 aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy in which those measurements fall, are as follows (in thousands): Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Significant Identical Other Significant Assets Observable Unobservable and Liabilities Inputs Inputs Total Gains (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Fair Value (Losses) (1) Property (2) $ 47,746 $ — $ 47,746 $ (12,686) Total $ — $ 47,746 $ — $ 47,746 $ (12,686) (1) Total gains (losses) presented in this table relate to assets that were held by us at December 31, 2020.

Management’s estimate of fair value of these properties were determined using bona fide purchase offers for the Level 2 inputs.

The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q and certain information included in our annual financial statements and notes thereto has been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2020. Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Such statements require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. We have evaluated subsequent events for recognition or disclosure in our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Accrued Rent, Accrued Contract Receivables and Accounts Receivable, net	Accrued Rent, Accrued Contract Receivables and Accounts Receivable, net The duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our tenants’ operations, including, in some cases, their ability to resume full operations as governmental and legislative measures are eased, has caused uncertainty in our ongoing ability to collect rents when due. Considering the potential impact of this uncertainty, our collection assessment continues to consider the type of retailer and current discussions with the tenants, as well as recent rent collection experience and tenant bankruptcies based on the best information available to management at the time of evaluation. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we increased rental revenues by $1.7 million due to the realization of net recoveries and the reduction of receivables. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we reduced rental revenues by $9.4 million due primarily to COVID lease related reserves and write-offs, which included $7.6 million for straight-line rent receivables. Additionally, we continue to have lease negotiations with tenants directly related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, included in Accrued Rent, Accrued Contract Receivables and Accounts Receivable, net, we have deferred lease concessions not currently due of $7.8 million and $9.6 million, respectively. Additionally for the three months ended March 31, 2021, rent abatements totaled $2.0 million, which includes $1.5 million for cash basis tenants, and no abatements were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2020 (see Note 7 for additional information). Discussions are continuing with tenants as the effects of COVID-19 pandemic and related mandates evolve.

Within the next 12 months, approximately $.9 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss is expected to be reclassified as a reduction to interest expense related to our interest rate contracts.
