Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Organization Acadia Realty Trust and subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") is a fully-integrated equity real estate investment trust ("REIT") focused on the ownership, acquisition, development, and management of retail properties located primarily in high-barrier-to-entry, supply-constrained, densely-populated metropolitan areas in the United States. All of the Company’s assets are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, Acadia Realty Limited Partnership (the "Operating Partnership") and entities in which the Operating Partnership owns an interest. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company controlled approximately 95% of the Operating Partnership as the sole general partner and is entitled to share, in proportion to its percentage interest, in the cash distributions and profits and losses of the Operating Partnership. The limited partners primarily represent entities or individuals that contributed their interests in certain properties or entities to the Operating Partnership in exchange for common or preferred units of limited partnership interest ("Common OP Units" or "Preferred OP Units") and employees who have been awarded restricted Common OP Units ("LTIP Units") as long-term incentive compensation ( Note 13 ). Limited partners holding Common OP and LTIP Units are generally entitled to exchange their units on a one-for-one basis for common shares of beneficial interest of the Company ("Common Shares"). This structure is referred to as an umbrella partnership REIT or "UPREIT." As of December 31, 2016 , the Company has ownership interests in 117 properties within its core portfolio, which consist of those properties either 100% owned, or partially owned through joint venture interests, by the Operating Partnership, or subsidiaries thereof, not including those properties owned through its funds ("Core Portfolio"). The Company also has ownership interests in 65 properties within its opportunity funds, Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund I, LP ("Fund I"), Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund II, LLC ("Fund II"), Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund III LLC ("Fund III"), Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund IV LLC, and Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund V LLC (("Fund V") and together with Funds I, II, III and IV, the "Funds"). The 182 Core Portfolio and Fund properties primarily consist of street and urban retail, and dense suburban shopping centers. In addition, the Company, together with the investors in the Funds, invest in operating companies through Acadia Mervyn Investors I, LLC ("Mervyns I"), Acadia Mervyn Investors II, LLC ("Mervyns II") and Fund II, all on a non-recourse basis. The Company consolidates the Funds as it has (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact their economic performance, (ii) is obligated to absorb their losses and (iii) has the right to receive benefits from the Funds that could potentially be significant. The Operating Partnership is the sole general partner or managing member of the Funds and Mervyns I and II and earns fees or priority distributions for asset management, property management, construction, development, leasing, and legal services. Cash flows from the Funds and Mervyns I and II are distributed pro-rata to their respective partners and members (including the Operating Partnership) until each receives a certain cumulative return ("Preferred Return") and the return of all capital contributions. Thereafter, remaining cash flow is distributed 20% to the Operating Partnership ("Promote") and 80% to the partners or members (including the Operating Partnership). All transactions between the Funds and the Operating Partnership have been eliminated in consolidation. The following table summarizes the general terms and Operating Partnership's equity interests in the Funds and Mervyns I and II (dollars in millions): Entity Formation Date Operating Partnership Share of Capital Fund Size Capital Called as of December 31, 2016 (a) Unfunded Commitment Equity Interest Held By Operating Partnership Preferred Return Total Distributions as of December 31, 2016 (e) Fund I and Mervyns I (a) 9/2001 22.22% $ 90.0 $ 86.6 $ — 37.78% 9% $ 194.5 Fund II and Mervyns II (b) (c) 6/2004 28.33% 300.0 347.1 — 28.33% 8% 131.6 Fund III (d) 5/2007 24.54% 502.5 387.5 62.5 39.63% 6% 445.7 Fund IV 5/2012 23.12% 540.6 179.4 361.2 23.12% 6% 101.9 Fund V 8/2016 20.10% 520.1 — 520.1 20.10% 6% — __________ (a) As of December 31, 2015, Fund I had been liquidated. (b) During 2013, a distribution of $47.1 million was made to the Fund II investors, including the Operating Partnership. This amount was subject to recontribution to Fund II until December 2016, and was recontributed during 2016. (c) During 2016, the Company acquired an additional 8.3% interest in Fund II from a limited partner for $18.4 million , giving the Operating Partnership an aggregate 28.33% interest. (d) During 2015, the Company acquired an additional 4.6% interest in Fund III from a limited partner for $7.3 million , giving the Operating Partnership an aggregate 24.54% interest. (e) Represents the total for the Funds, including the Operating Partnership and noncontrolling interests' shares. Basis of Presentation Segments At December 31, 2016, the Company had three reportable operating segments: Core Portfolio, Funds and Structured Financing. The Company’s chief operating decision maker may review operational and financial data on a property basis and does not differentiate properties on a geographical basis for purposes of allocating resources or capital. The Company evaluates individual property performance primarily based on net operating income before depreciation, amortization and certain nonrecurring items. Each property is considered a separate operating segment; however, each property on a stand-alone basis represents less than 10% of revenues, profit or loss, and assets of the combined reported operating segment and meets the majority of the aggregations criteria under the applicable standard. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company and its investments in partnerships and limited liability companies in which the Company has control in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 810 "Consolidation" ("ASC Topic 810"). The ownership interests of other investors in these entities are recorded as noncontrolling interests. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in entities for which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over, but does not have financial or operating control, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company’s share of the earnings (or losses) of these entities are included in consolidated net income. Variable interest entities are accounted for within the scope of ASC Topic 810 and are required to be consolidated by their primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity is the enterprise that has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the variable interest entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the variable interest entity that could be significant to the variable interest entity. Management has evaluated the applicability of ASC Topic 810 to its investments in certain joint ventures and determined that these joint ventures are not variable interest entities or that the Company is not the primary beneficiary and, therefore, consolidation of these ventures is not required. These investments are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. At December 31, 2016 , the Company had investments in three tenancy-in-common interests in various underlying properties. Consolidation of these investments is not required as such interests do not qualify as variable interest entities or meet the control requirement for consolidation. Accordingly, the Company accounts for these investments using the equity method of accounting because the shared decision-making involved in a tenancy-in-common interest investment provides the Company with significant influence on the operating and financial decisions of these investments. Cost Method Investments The Company has certain investments to which it applies the cost method of accounting. The Company recognizes as income distributions from net accumulated earnings of the investee since the date of acquisition. The net accumulated earnings of an investee subsequent to the date of investment are recognized by the Company only to the extent distributed by the investee. Distributions received in excess of earnings subsequent to the date of investment are considered a return of investment and are recorded as reductions of cost of the investment. For the periods presented, there have been no events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the Company's cost-method investments. Use of Estimates Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") require the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to the valuation of real estate, depreciable lives, revenue recognition and the collectability of notes receivable and rents receivable. Application of these estimates and assumptions requires the exercise of judgment as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates. Out-of-Period Adjustments During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company identified and recorded out-of-period adjustments related to accounting for certain leases whose tenants have early termination and renewal options and for interest expense related to a loan that is in default. The Company's management concluded that these non-cash adjustments are not material to the consolidated financial statements for any of the periods presented. The net impact of the adjustments on the consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2016 is reflected as a decrease to rental income of $2.1 million , an increase to depreciation and amortization expense of $1.7 million , an increase in interest expense of $0.7 million and an increase to equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates of $0.2 million , resulting in a net decrease to net income of $4.2 million , of which $1.6 million was attributable to noncontrolling interests. During the second quarter of 2016, management determined that certain transactions involving the issuance of Common Shares of the Company and Common OP Units, Preferred OP Units, and LTIP Units of the Operating Partnership, should have resulted in an adjustment to the Operating Partnership’s non-controlling interest ("OPU NCI") and the Company’s Additional Paid-in-Capital ("APIC") to reflect the difference between the fair value of the consideration received or paid and the book value of the Common Shares, Common OP Units, Preferred OP Units, and LTIP Units involving these changes in ownership (the "Rebalancing"). During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company increased its APIC with an offsetting reduction to the OPU NCI of approximately $35.7 million , of which approximately $31.8 million of this Rebalancing related to prior years. Management concluded that the Rebalancing adjustments were not meaningful to the Company’s financial position for any of the prior years, and the quarterly periods in 2016, and as such, this cumulative change was recorded in the consolidated balance sheet and statement of shareholder’s equity in the second quarter of 2016 as an out-of-period adjustment. The misclassification had no impact on the previously reported consolidated assets, liabilities or total equity or on the consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, or cash flows. Reclassifications Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Real Estate Land, buildings, and personal property are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Improvements and significant renovations that extend the useful life of the properties are capitalized, while replacements, maintenance, and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed as incurred. Real estate under development includes costs for significant property expansion and development. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: Buildings and improvements Useful lives, ranging from 30 to 40 years Furniture and fixtures Useful lives, ranging from five years to 20 years Tenant improvements Shorter of economic life or lease terms Purchase Accounting – Upon acquisitions of real estate, the Company assesses the fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities (including land, buildings and improvements, and identified intangibles such as above- and below-market leases and acquired in-place leases and customer relationships) and acquired liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic 805, "Business Combinations" and ASC Topic 350 "Intangibles – Goodwill and Other," and allocates the acquisition price based on these assessments. The Company assesses fair value of its tangible assets acquired and assumed liabilities based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information at the measurement period. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including the historical operating results, known trends, and market/economic conditions that may affect the property. In determining the value of above- and below-market leases, the Company estimates the present value difference between contractual rent obligations and estimated market rate of leases at the time of the transaction. To the extent there were fixed-rate options at below-market rental rates, the Company included these along with the current term below-market rent in arriving at the fair value of the acquired leases. The discounted difference between contract and market rents is being amortized to rental income over the remaining applicable lease term, inclusive of any option periods. In determining the value of acquired in-place leases and customer relationships, the Company considers market conditions at the time of the transaction and values the costs to execute similar leases during the expected lease-up period from vacancy to existing occupancy, including carrying costs. The value assigned to in-place leases and tenant relationships is amortized over the estimated remaining term of the leases. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its scheduled expiration, all unamortized costs relating to that lease would be written off. The Company estimates the value of any assumption of mortgage debt based on market conditions at the time of acquisitions including prevailing interest rates, terms and ability to obtain financing for a similar asset. Mortgage debt discounts or premiums are amortized into interest expense over the remaining term of the related debt instrument. Real Estate Under Development – The Company capitalizes certain costs related to the development of real estate. Interest and real estate taxes incurred during the period of the construction, expansion or development of real estate are capitalized and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the building. The Company will cease the capitalization of these costs when construction activities are substantially completed and the property is available for occupancy by tenants, but no later than one year from the completion of major construction activity at which time the project is placed in service and depreciation commences. If the Company suspends substantially all activities related to development of a qualifying asset, the Company will cease capitalization of interest and taxes until activities are resumed. Real Estate Impairment – The Company reviews its real estate and real estate under development for impairment when there is an event or a change in circumstances that indicates that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. In cases where the Company does not expect to recover its carrying costs on properties held for use, the Company reduces its carrying costs to fair value. The determination of anticipated undiscounted cash flows is inherently subjective, requiring significant estimates made by management, and considers the most likely expected course of action at the balance sheet date based on current plans, intended holding periods and available market information. If the Company is evaluating the potential sale of an asset, the undiscounted future cash flows analysis is probability-weighted based upon management’s best estimate of the likelihood of the alternative courses of action as of the balance sheet date. Such cash flow projections consider factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other factors. If an impairment is indicated, an impairment loss is recognized based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value. The Company did not record any impairment charges during the years ended December 31, 2016 or 2014. During the year ended December 31, 2015, as a result of the loss of a key anchor tenant at a property located in Wilmington, Delaware, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $5.0 million , which is included in the statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2015. The Operating Partnership's share of this charge, net of the noncontrolling interest, was $1.1 million . The property is collateral for $26.3 million of non-recourse mortgage debt which matured July 1, 2016 and is currently in default. Dispositions of Real Estate – The Company recognizes property sales in accordance with ASC Topic 970 "Real Estate." Sales of real estate include the sale of land, operating properties and investments in real estate joint ventures. Gains from dispositions are recognized using the full accrual or partial sale methods, provided that various criteria relating to the terms of sale and any subsequent involvement by the Company with the asset sold are met. Real Estate Held for Sale – The Company generally considers assets to be held for sale when it has entered into a contract to sell the property, all material due diligence requirements have been satisfied, and management believes it is probable that the disposition will occur within one year. Assets that are classified as held for sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value, less cost to sell. Notes Receivable Notes receivable include certain loans that are held for investment and are collateralized by real estate-related investments and may be subordinate to other senior loans. Notes receivable are recorded at stated principal amounts or at initial investment less accretive yield for loans purchased at a discount, which is accreted over the life of the note. The Company defers loan origination and commitment fees, net of origination costs, and amortizes them over the term of the related loan. The Company evaluates the collectability of both principal and interest based upon an assessment of the underlying collateral value to determine whether it is impaired. A reserve is recorded when, based upon current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the existing contractual terms. The amount of the reserve is calculated by comparing the recorded investment to the value of the underlying collateral. As the underlying collateral for a majority of the notes receivable is real estate-related investments, the same valuation techniques are used to value the collateral as those used to determine the fair value of real estate investments for impairment purposes. Given the small number of notes outstanding, the Company does not provide for an additional reserve based on the grouping of loans, as the Company believes the characteristics of its notes are not sufficiently similar to allow an evaluation of these notes as a group for a possible loan loss allowance. As such, all of the Company’s notes are evaluated individually for this purpose. Interest income on performing notes is accrued as earned. A note is placed on non-accrual status when, based upon current information and events, it is probable that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the existing contractual terms. Recognition of interest income on an accrual basis on non-performing notes is resumed when it is probable that the Company will be able to collect amounts due according to the contractual terms. Investments in and Advances to Unconsolidated Joint Ventures Some of the Company’s joint ventures obtain non-recourse third-party financing on their property investments, contractually limiting the Company’s exposure to losses. The Company recognizes income for distributions in excess of its investment where there is no recourse to the Company and no intention or obligation to contribute additional capital. For investments in which there is recourse to the Company or an obligation or intention to contribute additional capital exists, distributions in excess of the investment are recorded as a liability. When characterizing distributions from equity investees within the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows, all distributions received are first applied as returns on investment to the extent there are cumulative earnings related to the respective investment and are classified as cash inflows from operating activities. If cumulative distributions are in excess of cumulative earnings, distributions are considered return of investment. In such cases, the distribution is classified as cash inflows from investing activities. To the extent that the Company’s carrying basis in an unconsolidated affiliate is different from the basis reflected at the joint venture level, the basis difference is amortized over the life of the related assets and included in the Company’s share of equity in net income (loss) of investments in unconsolidated affiliates the joint venture. The Company periodically reviews its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures for other-than-temporary losses in investment value. Any decline that is not expected to be recovered based on the underlying assets of the investment, is considered other than temporary and an impairment charge is recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the investment. During the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, there were no impairment charges related to the Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at financial institutions and, at times, balances may exceed the limits insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Restricted Cash Restricted cash consists principally of cash held for real estate taxes, construction costs, property maintenance, insurance, minimum occupancy and property operating income requirements at specific properties as required by certain loan agreements. Deferred Costs Fees and costs paid in the successful negotiation of leases are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Fees and costs incurred in connection with obtaining financing are deferred and amortized as a component of interest expense over the term of the related debt obligation on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method. The Company capitalizes salaries, commissions and benefits related to time spent by leasing and legal department personnel involved in originating leases. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities The Company measures derivative instruments at fair value and record them as assets or liabilities, depending on its rights or obligations under the applicable derivative contract. Derivatives that are not designated as hedges must be adjusted to fair value through earnings. For a derivative designated and that qualified as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative is recognized in Other comprehensive (loss) income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative is recognized directly in earnings. Although the Company's derivative contracts are subject to master netting arrangements, which serve as credit mitigants to both the Company and its counterparties under certain situations, the Company does not net its derivative fair values or any existing rights or obligations to cash collateral on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. For the periods presented, all of the Company's derivatives qualified and were designated as cash flow hedges, and none of its derivatives were deemed ineffective. Noncontrolling Interests Noncontrolling interests represent the portion of equity that the Company does not own in those entities it consolidates. The Company identifies its noncontrolling interests separately within the equity section on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The amounts of consolidated net earnings attributable to the Company and to the noncontrolling interests are presented separately on the Company’s consolidated statements of income. Noncontrolling interests also include amounts related to common and preferred OP Units issued to unrelated third parties in connection with certain property acquisitions. In addition, the Company periodically issues common OP Units to certain employees of the Company under its share-based incentive program. Unit holders generally have the right to redeem their units for shares of the Company's common stock subject to blackout and other limitations. Common and restricted OP Units are included in the caption Noncontrolling interest within the equity section on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable Minimum rents from tenants are recognized using the straight-line method over the non-cancelable lease term of the respective leases. Lease termination fees are recognized upon the effective termination of a tenant’s lease when the Company has no further obligations under the lease. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, unbilled rents receivable relating to the straight-lining of rents of $31.7 million and $31.3 million , respectively, are included in Rents Receivable, net on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Certain of these leases also provide for percentage rents based upon the level of sales achieved by the tenant. Percentage rent is recognized in the period when the tenants’ sales breakpoint is met. In addition, leases typically provide for the reimbursement to the Company of real estate taxes, insurance and other property operating expenses. These reimbursements are recognized as revenue in the period the related expenses are incurred. The Company makes estimates of the uncollectability of its accounts receivable related to tenant revenues. An allowance for doubtful accounts has been provided against certain tenant accounts receivable that are estimated to be uncollectible. Once the amount is ultimately deemed to be uncollectible, it is written off. Rents receivable at December 31, 2016 and 2015 are shown net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $5.7 million and $7.5 million , respectively. Stock-Based Compensation Stock-based compensation expense for all equity-classified stock-based compensation awards is based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with current accounting guidance for share-based payments. The Company recognizes these compensation costs for only those shares or units expected to vest on a straight-line or graded-vesting basis, as appropriate, over the requisite service period of the award. The Company includes stock-based compensation within the Additional paid-in capital caption of equity. Income Taxes The Company has made an election to be taxed, and believes it qualifies, as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). To maintain REIT status for Federal income tax purposes, the Company is generally required to distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its shareholders as well as comply with certain other income, asset and organizational requirements as defined in the Code. Accordingly, the Company is generally not subject to Federal corporate income tax to the extent that it distributes 100% of its REIT taxable income each year. In connection with the REIT Modernization Act, the Company is permitted to participate in certain activities and still maintain its qualification as a REIT, so long as these activities are conducted in entities that elect to be treated as taxable subsidiaries under the Code. As such, the Company is subject to Federal and state income taxes on the income from these activities. The Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act (PATH Act) was enacted in December 2015, and included numerous law changes applicable to REITs. The provisions have various effective dates beginning as early as 2016. These changes did not materially impact the Company's operations or consolidated financial statements. Although it may qualify for REIT status for Federal income tax purposes, the Company is subject to state income or franchise taxes in certain states in which some of its properties are located. In addition, taxable income from non-REIT activities managed through the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRS") is fully subject to Federal, state and local income taxes. The Company accounts for TRS income taxes under the liability method as required by ASC Topic 740, "Income Taxes." Under the liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the temporary differences between the GAAP basis and tax basis of the TRS income, assets and liabilities. The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent it believes it is more likely than not that these assets will be realized and would record a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets when it has determined that an uncertainty exists regarding their realization, which would increase the provision for income taxes. In making such determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including forecasts of future taxable income, the reversal of other existing temporary differences, available net operating loss carry-forwards, tax planning strategies and recent results of operations. Several of these considerations require assumptions and significant judgment about the forecasts of future taxable income and are consistent with the plans and estimates that the Company is utilizing to manage its business. To the extent facts and circumstances change in the future, adjustments to the valuation allowances may be required. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model requiring a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 does not apply to the Company's lease revenues, but will apply to reimbursed tenant costs. Additionally, this guidance modifies disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year, until years beginning in 2018, with early adoption permitted but not before 2017. Entities may adopt ASU 2014-09 using either a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each

All of the above acquisitions were deemed to be business combinations except 991 Madison Avenue, 1964 Union Street, City Point Tower I, and 650 Bald Hill Road. The Company expensed $5.5 million , $1.3 million and $4.8 million of acquisition costs for the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014, respectively, related to the Core Portfolio; $0.2 million of acquisition costs for the year ended December 31, 2014 related to Fund III; and $2.7 million , $3.5 million and $2.7 million of acquisition costs for the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014, respectively, related to Fund IV. Purchase Price Allocations With the exception of the asset acquisitions noted above, the above acquisitions have been accounted for as business combinations. The purchase prices for the business combinations were allocated to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on their estimated fair values at the dates of acquisition. The preliminary measurements of fair value reflected below are subject to change. The Company expects to finalize the valuations and complete the purchase price allocations within one year from the dates of acquisition. During 2016 and 2015, the Company acquired properties and recorded the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired based on provisional measurements of fair value.

The new loan, which was made to our partners in the Brandywine Portfolio, bears interest at 8.1% ( Note 4 ). During 2015, the Company: • made total investments in six notes receivable of $78.0 million , with a weighted-average effective interest rate of 6.2% , which were collateralized by six mixed-use real estate properties; and • received total collections of $29.4 million , including full repayment of four notes issued in prior periods aggregating $22.9 million . At December 31, 2016 and 2015, one of the Core notes receivable in the amount of $12.0 million was in default; however, no principal reserve was established because the estimated fair value of the real estate collateral exceeded the carrying value of the note. The Company monitors the credit quality of its notes receivable on an ongoing basis and considers indicators of credit quality such as loan payment activity, the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, the seniority of the Company's loan in relation to other debt secured by the collateral and the prospects of the borrower. Earnings from these notes and mortgages receivable are reported within the Company's Structured Financing segment ( Note 12 ).

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]
Investments in and Advances to Unconsolidated Affiliates	Investments In and Advances to Unconsolidated Affiliates The Company accounts for its investments in and advances to unconsolidated affiliates under the equity method of accounting as it has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not have financial or operating control over the investment, which is maintained by each of the unaffiliated partners who co-invest with the Company. The Company's investments in and advances to unconsolidated affiliates consist of the following (dollars in thousands): Nominal Ownership Interest at December 31, 2016 December 31, Fund Property 2016 2015 Core: 840 N. Michigan (a) 88.43 % $ 74,131 $ 76,898 Renaissance Portfolio 20 % 36,437 — Gotham 49 % 29,421 — Brandywine Portfolio (a) 22.22 % 20,755 — Georgetown Portfolio 50 % 4,287 4,688 165,031 81,586 Mervyns I & II: KLA/Mervyn's, LLC (b) 10.5 % — — Fund III: Fund III Other Portfolio 90 % 8,108 12,784 Self Storage Management (c) 95 % 241 654 8,349 13,438 Fund IV: Broughton Street Portfolio 50 % 54,839 43,786 Fund IV Other Portfolio 90 % 21,817 24,104 650 Bald Hill Road 90 % 18,842 9,072 95,498 76,962 Due from Related Parties (d) 2,193 725 Other 957 566 Investments in and advances to unconsolidated affiliates $ 272,028 $ 173,277 Core: Crossroads (e) 49 % $ 13,691 $ 13,244 Distributions in excess of income from, $ 13,691 $ 13,244 __________ (a) Represents a tenancy-in-common interest. (b) Distributions have exceeded the Company's non-recourse investment, therefore the carrying value is zero. (c) Represents a variable interest entity. (d) Represents deferred fees. (e) Distributions have exceeded the Company's investment; however, the Company recognizes a liability balance as it may fund future obligations of the entity. Core Portfolio The Company owns a 49% interest in a 311,000 square foot shopping center located in White Plains, New York ("Crossroads"), a 50% interest in a 28,000 square foot retail portfolio located in Georgetown, Washington D.C. (the "Georgetown Portfolio"), and a 88.43% tenancy-in-common interest in an 87,000 square foot retail property located in Chicago, Illinois. During January 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of a 49% noncontrolling interest in an approximately 123,000 square foot retail property located in Manhattan, New York ("Gotham Plaza"), for a purchase price of $39.8 million . Consideration for this purchase consisted of the assumption of 49% of the existing non-recourse debt of $21.4 million and the issuance of both 442,478 Common and 141,593 Preferred OP Units (Note 10). During June 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of a 20% noncontrolling interest in a 211,000 square-foot portfolio of 17 mixed-use properties, 16 of which are located in Georgetown, Washington D.C. and one which is located in Alexandria, Virginia (the "Renaissance Portfolio"), for a purchase price of $67.6 million and the assumption of $20 million in debt. The Company owns a 22.22% interest in an approximately one million square foot retail portfolio (the "Brandywine Portfolio") located in Wilmington, Delaware. Prior to the second quarter of 2016, the Company had a controlling interest in the Brandywine Portfolio, and it was therefore consolidated within the Company’s financial statements. During April 2016, the arrangement with the partners of the Brandywine Portfolio was modified to change the legal ownership from a partnership to a tenancy-in-common interest, as well as to provide certain participating rights to the outside partners. As a result of these modifications, the Company de-consolidated the Brandywine Portfolio and accounts for its interest under the equity method of accounting effective May 1, 2016. Furthermore, as the owners of the Brandywine Portfolio had consistent ownership interests before and after the modification and the underlying net assets are unchanged, the Company has reflected the change from consolidation to equity method based upon its historical cost. Additionally, in April 2016, the Company repaid the outstanding balance of $140.0 million of non-recourse debt collateralized by the Brandywine Portfolio. The Company provided a loan collateralized by the partners’ tenancy-in-common interest, as further described in Note 7 , for their proportionate share of the repayment. Fund Investments Fund III Other Portfolio includes the Company's investment in Arundel Plaza. Fund IV Other Portfolio includes the Company's investment in 1701 Belmont Avenue, 2819 Kennedy Boulevard, Promenade at Manassas, and Eden Square. Self-Storage Management, a Fund III investment, was determined to be a variable interest entity. Management has evaluated the applicability of ASC Topic 810 to this joint venture and determined that the Company is not the primary beneficiary and, therefore, consolidation of this venture is not required. During April 2015, Fund III sold White City Shopping Center for $96.8 million resulting in a gain on sale of which the Operating Partnership's share was $16.2 million . During September 2015, Fund IV entered into a joint venture with an unaffiliated entity and completed the acquisition of a 90% interest in a property under development located in Warwick, Rhode Island ("650 Bald Hill Road") for a purchase price of $9.2 million . During January 2016, Fund III completed the disposition of a 65% interest in Cortlandt Town Center for $107.3 million resulting in a gain of $65.4 million and the deconsolidation of its remaining interest ( Note 2 ). During December 2016, Fund III completed the disposition of its remaining 35% interest in Cortlandt Town Center for $57.8 million less $32.6 million debt repayment for a net sales price of $25.2 million resulting in a gain on sale of $36.0 million , of which the Operating Partnership's share was $8.8 million , which is included in equity earnings and gains from unconsolidated affiliates in the consolidated financial statements. Revenues from Unconsolidated Affiliates The Company earned property management, construction, development, legal and leasing fees from its investments in unconsolidated partnerships totaling $1.2 million , $0.3 million and $0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively, which is included in other revenues in the consolidated financial statements.

Certain loan agreements require the Company to comply with affirmative and negative covenants, including the maintenance of debt service coverage and leverage ratios. A portion of the Company's variable-rate mortgage debt has been effectively fixed through certain cash flow hedge transactions ( Note 8 ).

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements	Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements The fair value of an asset is defined as the exit price, which is the amount that would either be received when an asset is sold or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers are: Level 1, for which quoted market prices for identical instruments are available in active markets, such as money market funds, equity securities, and U.S. Treasury securities; Level 2, for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the instrument, such as certain derivative instruments including interest rate caps and interest rate swaps; and Level 3, for financial instruments or other assets/liabilities that do not fall into Level 1 or Level 2 and for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring us to develop our own assumptions. Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis The methods and assumptions described below were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument. For significant Level 3 items, we have also provided the unobservable inputs along with their weighted-average ranges. Money Market Funds — The Company has money market funds, which are included in Cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated financial statements, are comprised of government securities and/or U.S. Treasury bills. These funds were classified as Level 1 as we used quoted prices from active markets to determine their fair values. Derivative Assets — Our derivative assets, which are included in Other assets, net in the consolidated financial statements, are comprised of interest rate swaps. The interest rate swaps were measured at fair value using readily observable market inputs, such as quotations on interest rates, and were classified as Level 2 as these instruments are custom, over-the-counter contracts with various bank counterparties that are not traded in an active market. See "Derivative Financial Instruments," below. — Our derivative liabilities, which are included in Accounts payable and other liabilities in the consolidated financial statements, are comprised of interest rate swaps. These derivative instruments were measured at fair value using readily observable market inputs, such as quotations on interest rates, and were classified as Level 2 because they are custom, over-the-counter contracts with various bank counterparties that are not traded in an active market. See "Derivative Financial Instruments," below. We did not have any transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 measurements during either the years ended December 31, 2016 or 2015. The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands): December 31, 2016 December 31, 2015 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets Money Market Funds $ 20,001 $ — $ — $ 4 $ — $ — Derivative financial instruments — 2,921 — — 818 — Liabilities Derivative financial instruments — 3,590 — — 5,876 — In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. Derivative Financial Instruments The Company had the following interest rate swaps for the periods presented (in thousands): Strike Rate Fair Value at December 31, Derivative Instrument Aggregate Effective Date Maturity Date Low High Balance Sheet Location 2016 2015 Core Interest Rate Swaps $ 140,651 Oct 2011 - Mar 2015 Jul 2018 - Mar 2025 1.38% — 3.77% Other Liabilities $ (3,218 ) $ (5,255 ) Interest Rate Swaps 190,407 Sep 2012 - Jul 2016 Jul 2020 - Jun 2026 1.24% — 3.77% Other Assets 2,609 815 $ 331,058 $ (609 ) $ (4,440 ) Fund II Interest Rate Swaps $ 19,779 Oct 2014 Nov 2021 2.88% — 2.88% Other Liabilities $ (228 ) $ (385 ) Interest Rate Caps 29,500 Apr 2013 Apr 2018 4% — 4% Other Assets — 3 $ 49,279 $ (228 ) $ (382 ) Fund III Interest Rate Caps $ 58,000 Dec 2016 Jan 2020 3% — 3% Other Assets $ 127 $ — Fund IV Interest Rate Swaps $ 14,509 May 2014 May 2019 1.78% — 1.78% Other Liabilities $ (144 ) $ (236 ) Interest Rate Caps 108,900 Jul 2016 - Nov 2016 Aug 2019 - Dec 2019 3% — 3% Other Assets 185 — $ 123,409 $ 41 $ (236 ) Total asset derivatives $ 2,921 $ 818 Total liability derivatives $ (3,590 ) $ (5,876 ) These derivative instruments have been designated as cash flow hedges and hedge the future cash outflows on variable rate mortgage debt ( Note 7 ). Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of its debt funding and, from time to time, through the use of derivative financial instruments. The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the values of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s investments and borrowings. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to the Swaps if the derivative position has a positive balance. The Company believes it mitigates its credit risk by entering into Swaps with major financial institutions. The Company continually monitors and actively manages interest costs on its variable-rate debt portfolio and may enter into additional interest rate swap positions or other derivative interest rate instruments based on market conditions. The Company has not entered, and does not plan to enter, into any derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The following table presents the location in the financial statements of the (losses) income recognized related to the Company's cash flow hedges (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 Amount of loss related to the effective portion recognized $ 646 $ 5,061 $ 9,061 Amount of loss related to the effective portion subsequently reclassified to earnings — — — Amount of gain (loss) related to the ineffective portion — — — Credit Risk-Related Contingent Features The Company has agreements with each of its Swap counterparties that contain a provision whereby if the Company defaults on certain of its unsecured indebtedness the Company could also be declared in default on its swaps, resulting in an acceleration of payment under the swaps. Other Financial Instruments Our other financial instruments had the following carrying values and fair values as of the dates shown (dollars in thousands): December 31, 2016 December 31, 2015 Level Carrying Amount Estimated Fair Value Carrying Amount Estimated Fair Value Notes Receivable (a) 3 $ 276,163 $ 272,052 $ 147,188 $ 147,188 Mortgage and Other Notes Payable, net (a) 3 1,055,728 1,077,926 1,050,051 1,072,473 Investment in non-traded equity securities 3 802 25,194 411 25,194 Unsecured notes payable, net (b) 2 432,990 435,779 287,755 288,964 Unsecured line of credit (c) 2 — — 20,800 20,881 (a) The Company determined the estimated fair value of these financial instruments using a discounted cash flow model with rates that take into account the credit of the borrower or tenant, where applicable, and interest rate risk. The Company also considered the value of the underlying collateral, taking into account the quality of the collateral, the credit quality of the borrower, the time until maturity and the current market interest rate environment. (b) The Company determined the estimated fair value of the unsecured notes payable using quoted market prices in an open market with limited trading volume where available. In cases where there was no trading volume, the Company determined the estimated fair value using a discounted cash flow model using a rate that reflects the average yield of similar market participants. (c) The Company determined the estimated fair value of the unsecured line of credit using a discounted cash flow model with rates that take into account the market-based credit spread and the Company's credit rating. The Company's cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and certain financial instruments included in other assets and other liabilities had fair values that approximated their carrying values at December 31, 2016 and 2015. Items Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis (Including Impairment Charges) During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company determined that the value of one of the properties in its Brandywine Portfolio was impaired and recorded an impairment loss of $5.0 million . The Company estimated the fair value by using discounted future cash flows and applying a market-specific capitalization rate to the property's net operating income. The inputs used to determine this fair value are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies The Company is involved in various matters of litigation arising in the normal course of business. While the Company is unable to predict with certainty the amounts involved, the Company’s management and counsel are of the opinion that, when such litigation is resolved, the Company’s resulting liability, if any, will not have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. The Company's policy is to accrue legal expenses as they are incurred. During August 2009, the Company terminated the employment of a former Senior Vice President (the "Former Employee") for engaging in conduct that materially violated the Company's employee handbook. The Company determined that the behavior fell within the definition of "cause" in his severance agreement with us and therefore did not pay him anything thereunder. The Former Employee brought a lawsuit against the Company in New York State Supreme Court (the "Court"), in the amount of $0.9 million alleging breach of the severance agreement. On August 7, 2014, the Court granted summary judgment in favor of the Company, as defendant, and against plaintiff, the Former Employee, finding that his conduct in fact and law, constituted "cause" under his severance agreement. The Court rendered two decisions, one granting the Company’s motion for summary judgment and a second denying the Former Employee's motion to dismiss the Company’s answer as an abuse of judicial discretion. The Former Employee appealed the latter decision, but the decision of the Court was affirmed by the appellate court. Commitments and Guaranties In conjunction with the development and expansion of various properties, the Company has entered into agreements with general contractors for the construction or development of properties aggregating approximately $85.4 million as of December 31, 2016. At December 31, 2016, the Company had letters of credit outstanding of $2.5 million . The Company has not recorded any obligation associated with these letters of credit. The majority of the letters of credit are collateral for existing indebtedness and other obligations of the Company. In connection with certain of the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures, the Company agreed to fund amounts due to the joint ventures' lenders, under certain circumstances, if such amounts are not paid by the joint venture based on the Company’s pro rata share of such amount, aggregating $165.7 million at December 31, 2016.

The 188 remaining Series A Preferred OP Units are currently convertible into Common OP Units based on the stated value divided by $7.50 . Either the Company or the holders can currently call for the conversion of the Series A Preferred OP Units at the lesser of $7.50 or the market price of the Common Shares as of the conversion date. During 2016, the Operating Partnership issued 442,478 Common OP Units and 141,593 Series C Preferred OP Units to a third party to acquire Gotham Plaza ( Note 4 ). The Series C Preferred OP Units have a value of $100.00 per unit and are entitled to a preferred quarterly distribution of $0.9375 per unit and are convertible into Common OP Units at a rate based on the share price at the time of conversion. If the share price is below $28.80 on the conversion date, each Series C Preferred OP Unit will be convertible into 3.4722 Common OP Units. If the share price is between $28.80 and $35.20 on the conversion date, each Series C Preferred OP Units will be convertible a number of Common OP Units equal to $100.00 divided by the closing share price. If the share price is above $35.20 on the conversion date, each Series C Preferred OP Units will be convertible into 2.8409 Common OP Units. The Series C Preferred OP Units have a mandatory conversion date of December 31, 2025, at which time all units that have not been converted will automatically be converted into Common OP Units based on the same calculations. During 2015, the Operating Partnership issued approximately 1,600,000 OP units to a third party to acquire real estate.

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	Leases Operating Leases The Company is engaged in the operation of shopping centers and other retail properties that are either owned or, with respect to certain shopping centers, operated under long-term ground leases that expire at various dates through June 20, 2066, with renewal options. Space in the shopping centers is leased to tenants pursuant to agreements that provide for terms ranging generally from one month to ninety nine years and generally provide for additional rents based on certain operating expenses as well as tenants’ sales volumes. The Company leases land at six of its shopping centers, which are accounted for as operating leases and generally provide the Company with renewal options. Ground rent expense was $2.5 million , $1.7 million , and $1.8 million (including capitalized ground rent at properties under development of $0.9 million , $0.9 million and $0.8 million ) for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The leases terminate at various dates between 2020 and 2066. These leases provide the Company with options to renew for additional terms aggregating from 25 to 71 years. The Company also leases space for its corporate office. Office rent expense under this lease was $0.9 million , $1.4 million and $1.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014, respectively. Capital Leases During 2016, the Company entered into a 49 -year master lease at 991 Madison Avenue, which is accounted for as a capital lease. During the year ended December 31, 2016, lease payments totaling $7.8 million were made under this lease. The lease was initially valued at $76,628 , which represents the total discounted payments to be made under the lease. Properties under capital leases are discussed in Note 2 . Lease Obligations The scheduled future minimum rental revenues from rental properties under the terms of all non-cancelable tenant leases, assuming no new or renegotiated leases or option extensions for such premises and the scheduled minimum rental payments under the terms of all non-cancelable operating and capital leases in which the Company is the lessee, principally for office space and ground leases, as of December 31, 2016 are summarized as follows (in thousands): Minimum Rental Revenues Minimum Rental Payments 2017 $ 152,464 $ 3,737 2018 147,025 3,756 2019 135,796 3,776 2020 122,071 3,669 2021 109,383 3,744 Thereafter 591,541 185,621 Total $ 1,258,280 $ 204,303 A ground lease expiring during 2078 provides the Company with an option to purchase the underlying land during 2031. If the Company does not exercise the option, the rents that will be due are based on future values and as such are not determinable at this time. Accordingly, the above table does not include rents for this lease beyond 2031. During the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, no single tenant collectively comprised more than 10% of the Company’s total revenues.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Reporting	Segment Reporting The Company has three reportable segments: Core Portfolio, Funds and Structured Financing. The Company's Core Portfolio consists primarily of high-quality retail properties located primarily in high-barrier-to-entry, densely-populated metropolitan areas with a long-term investment horizon. The Company's Funds hold primarily retail real estate in which the Company co-invests with high-quality institutional investors. The Company's Structured Financing segment consists of earnings and expenses related to notes and mortgages receivable which are held within the Core Portfolio or the Funds ( Note 3 ). Fees earned by the Company as the general partner or managing member of the Funds are eliminated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and are not presented in the Company's segments. During 2016, the Company revised how it allocates general and administrative and income tax expenses among its segments to reflect all such expenses as unallocated corporate expenses. The presentation of the years ended 2015 and 2014 has been revised to reflect this change. The following tables set forth certain segment information for the Company (in thousands): As of or for the Year Ended December 31, 2016 (dollars in thousands) Core Portfolio Funds Structured Financing Unallocated Total Revenues $ 150,211 $ 39,728 $ — $ — $ 189,939 Property operating expenses, other operating and real estate taxes (39,598 ) (17,793 ) — — (57,391 ) General and administrative expenses — — — (40,648 ) (40,648 ) Depreciation and amortization (54,582 ) (15,429 ) — — (70,011 ) Operating income 56,031 6,506 — (40,648 ) 21,889 Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates 3,774 35,675 — — 39,449 Interest income — — 25,829 — 25,829 Interest and other finance expense (27,435 ) (7,210 ) — — (34,645 ) Gain on disposition of properties — 81,965 — — 81,965 Income tax benefit — — — 105 105 Net income 32,370 116,936 25,829 (40,543 ) 134,592 Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests (3,411 ) (58,405 ) — — (61,816 ) Net income attributable to Acadia $ 28,959 $ 58,531 $ 25,829 $ (40,543 ) $ 72,776 Real estate at cost $ 1,982,763 $ 1,399,237 $ — $ — $ 3,382,000 Total assets $ 2,271,620 $ 1,448,177 $ 276,163 $ — $ 3,995,960 Acquisition of real estate $ 323,880 $ 171,764 $ — $ — $ 495,644 Development and property improvement costs $ 13,434 $ 136,000 $ — $ — $ 149,434 As of or for the Year Ended December 31, 2015 (dollars in thousands) Core Portfolio Funds Structured Financing Unallocated Total Revenues $ 150,015 $ 49,048 $ — $ — $ 199,063 Property operating expenses, other operating and real estate taxes (37,259 ) (21,223 ) — — (58,482 ) General and administrative expenses — — — (30,368 ) (30,368 ) Depreciation and amortization (46,223 ) (14,528 ) — — (60,751 ) Impairment of asset (5,000 ) — — — (5,000 ) Operating income 61,533 13,297 — (30,368 ) 44,462 Equity in (losses) earnings of unconsolidated affiliates 1,169 36,161 — — 37,330 Interest income — — 16,603 — 16,603 Other — — 1,596 — 1,596 Interest and other finance expense (27,945 ) (9,352 ) — — (37,297 ) Gain on disposition of properties — 89,063 — — 89,063 Income tax provision — — — (1,787 ) (1,787 ) Net income 34,757 129,169 18,199 (32,155 ) 149,970 Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests (140 ) (84,122 ) — — (84,262 ) Net income attributable to Acadia $ 34,617 $ 45,047 $ 18,199 $ (32,155 ) $ 65,708 Real estate at cost $ 1,572,681 $ 1,163,602 $ — $ — $ 2,736,283 Total assets $ 1,662,092 $ 1,223,039 $ 147,188 $ — $ 3,032,319 Acquisition of real estate $ 181,884 $ 156,816 $ — $ — $ 338,700 Development and property improvement costs $ 16,505 $ 147,810 $ — $ — $ 164,315 As of or for the Year Ended December 31, 2014 (in thousands) Core Portfolio Funds Structured Financing Unallocated Total Revenues $ 125,022 $ 54,659 $ — $ — $ 179,681 Property operating expenses, other operating and real estate taxes (33,097 ) (18,574 ) — — (51,671 ) General and administrative expenses — — — (27,433 ) (27,433 ) Depreciation and amortization (35,875 ) (13,770 ) — — (49,645 ) Operating income 56,050 22,315 — (27,433 ) 50,932 Equity in (losses) earnings of unconsolidated affiliates (77 ) 111,655 — — 111,578 Gain on disposition of properties 12,577 561 — — 13,138 Interest income — — 12,607 — 12,607 Other — — 2,724 — 2,724 Interest and other finance expense (27,024 ) (12,402 ) — — (39,426 ) Income tax provision — — — (629 ) (629 ) Income from continuing operations 41,526 122,129 15,331 (28,062 ) 150,924 Income from discontinued operations — 1,222 — — 1,222 Net income 41,526 123,351 15,331 (28,062 ) 152,146 Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests (3,222 ) (77,860 ) — — (81,082 ) Net income attributable to Acadia $ 38,304 $ 45,491 $ 15,331 $ (28,062 ) $ 71,064 Real estate at cost $ 1,366,017 $ 842,578 $ — $ — $ 2,208,595 Total assets $ 1,613,290 $ 1,005,145 $ 102,286 $ — $ 2,720,721 Acquisition of real estate $ 206,203 $ 50,250 $ — $ — $ 256,453 Development and property improvement costs $ 5,432 $ 134,686 $ — $ — $ 140,118

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]
Share Incentive and Other Compensation	Share Incentive and Other Compensation Share Incentive Plan At the 2016 annual shareholders' meeting, the shareholders' approved the Second Amended and Restated 2006 Incentive Plan (the "Second Amended 2006 Plan"). This plan replaced all previous share incentive plans and increased the authorization to issue options, Restricted Shares and LTIP Units (collectively "Awards") available to officers and employees by 1,600,000 shares, for a total of 3,700,000 shares available to be issued. Restricted Shares and LTIP Units During 2016, the Company issued 319,244 LTIP Units and 11,092 Restricted Share Units to employees of the Company pursuant to the Share Incentive Plan. These awards were measured at their fair value on the grant date, which was established as the market price of the Company's Common Shares as of the close of trading on the day preceding the grant date. The total value of the above Restricted Share Units and LTIP Units as of the grant date was $ 10.1 million , of which $ 1.9 million was recognized as compensation expense in 2015, and $ 8.2 million will be recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period. Additionally, during the quarter ended September 30, 2016, in connection with the retirement of two executives, an additional 29,418 LTIP Units were issued. The value of these LTIP units was $ 1.1 million and was recognized as compensation expense during 2016. Also in connection with these retirements, the Company recognized $ 1.8 million as compensation expense relating to the acceleration of LTIP Units granted prior to 2016. Total long-term incentive compensation expense, including the expense related to the above mentioned plans, was $10.9 million , $6.8 million and $6.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively and is recorded in General and Administrative on the Consolidated Statements of Income. In addition, members of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") have been issued units under the Share Incentive Plan. During 2016, the Company issued 13,491 Restricted Shares and 10,822 LTIP Units to Trustees of the Company in connection with Trustee fees. Vesting with respect to 4,674 of the Restricted Shares and 5,532 of the LTIP Units will be on the first anniversary of the date of issuance and 8,817 of the Restricted Shares and 5,290 of the LTIP Units vest over three years with 33% vesting on each of the next three anniversaries of the issuance date. The Restricted Shares do not carry voting rights or other rights of Common Shares until vesting and may not be transferred, assigned or pledged until the recipients have a vested non-forfeitable right to such shares. Dividends are not paid currently on unvested Restricted Shares, but are paid cumulatively from the issuance date through the applicable vesting date of such Restricted Shares. Total trustee fee expense, included the expense related to the above-mentioned plans, was $1.1 million and $0.9 million during 2016 and 2015, respectively. In 2009, the Company adopted the Long Term Investment Alignment Program (the "Program") pursuant to which the Company may grant awards to employees, entitling them to receive up to 25% of any potential future payments of Promote to the Operating Partnership from Funds III and IV. The Company has awarded units to employees representing 25% of the potential Promote payments from Fund III to the Operating Partnership and 9.3% of the potential Promote payments from Fund IV to the Operating Partnership. Payments to senior executives under the Program require further Board approval at the time any potential payments are due pursuant to these grants. Compensation relating to these awards will be recognized in each reporting period in which Board approval is granted. As payments to other employees are not subject to further Board approval, compensation relating to these awards will be recorded based on the estimated fair value at each reporting period in accordance with ASC Topic 718, "Compensation– Stock Compensation." During 2016, compensation expense of $ 5.0 million was recognized related to the Program in connection with Fund III. The awards in connection with Fund IV were determined to have no intrinsic value as of December 31, 2016. A summary of the status of the Company’s unvested Restricted Shares and LTIP Units is presented below: Unvested Restricted Shares Common Restricted Weighted LTIP Units Weighted Unvested at January 1, 2014 63,737 $ 23.34 884,334 $ 21.62 Granted 28,563 27.18 441,946 26.24 Vested (34,598 ) 23.40 (263,556 ) 20.23 Forfeited (2,684 ) 23.54 (800 ) 24.66 Unvested at December 31, 2014 55,018 25.90 1,061,924 23.92 Granted 22,819 32.78 258,464 34.00 Vested (24,744 ) 25.44 (292,544 ) 22.82 Forfeited (3,194 ) 26.25 (7,723 ) 25.90 Unvested at December 31, 2015 49,899 25.90 1,020,121 23.92 Granted 24,583 33.35 359,484 34.40 Vested (24,886 ) 29.17 (522,680 ) 26.08 Forfeited (189 ) 35.37 (48 ) 35.37 Unvested at December 31, 2016 49,407 27.92 856,877 26.99 The weighted-average fair value for Restricted Shares and LTIP Units granted for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 were $34.50 , $33.90 and $26.30 , respectively.

Employee Share Purchase Plan The Acadia Realty Trust Employee Share Purchase Plan (the "Purchase Plan"), allows eligible employees of the Company to purchase Common Shares through payroll deductions. The Purchase Plan provides for employees to purchase Common Shares on a quarterly basis at a 15% discount to the closing price of the Company’s Common Shares on either the first day or the last day of the quarter, whichever is lower. A participant may not purchase more the $25,000 in Common Shares per year. Compensation expense will be recognized by the Company to the extent of the above discount to the closing price of the Common Shares with respect to the applicable quarter. During the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, a total of 3,491 , 3,761 and 4,668 Common Shares, respectively, were purchased by employees under the Purchase Plan. Associated compensation expense was insignificant for each of the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014. Deferred Share Plan During May of 2006, the Company adopted a Trustee Deferral and Distribution Election ("Trustee Deferral Plan"), under which the participating Trustees have deferred compensation of $0.1 million for each of the three years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014. Employee 401(k) Plan The Company maintains a 401(k) plan for employees under which the Company currently matches 50% of a plan participant’s contribution up to 6% of the employee’s annual salary. A plan participant may contribute up to a maximum of 15% of their compensation, up to $18,000 , for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Federal Income Taxes	Federal Income Taxes The Company has elected to qualify as a REIT in accordance with Sections 856 through 860 of the Code, and intends at all times to qualify as a REIT under the Code. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it currently distribute at least 90% of its annual REIT taxable income to its shareholders. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to corporate Federal income tax, provided that distributions to its shareholders equal at least the amount of its REIT taxable income as defined under the Code. As the Company distributed sufficient taxable income for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, no U.S. Federal income or excise taxes were incurred. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to Federal income taxes at the regular corporate rates (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for the four subsequent taxable years. Even though the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company is subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property and Federal income and excise taxes on any undistributed taxable income. In addition, taxable income from non-REIT activities managed through the Company’s TRS's is subject to Federal, state and local income taxes. For taxable years beginning after 2017, no more than 20% of the value of our total assets may consist of the securities of one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries. In the normal course of business, the Company or one or more of its subsidiaries is subject to examination by Federal, state and local jurisdictions as well as certain jurisdictions outside the United States, in which it operates, where applicable. The Company expects to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, as income tax expense. For the three years ended December 31, 2016, the Company recognized no material adjustments regarding its tax accounting treatment for uncertain tax provisions. As of December 31, 2016, the tax years that remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions under applicable statutes of limitations are generally the year 2013 and forward.

Earnings Per Common Share

Earnings Per Common Share	12 Months Ended

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Common Share	Earnings Per Common Share Basic earnings per Common Share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Common Shareholders by the weighted average Common Shares outstanding. At December 31, 2016 , the Company has unvested LTIP Units which provide for non-forfeitable rights to dividend equivalent payments. Accordingly, these unvested LTIP Units are considered participating securities and are included in the computation of basic earnings per Common Share pursuant to the two-class method. Diluted earnings per Common Share reflects the potential dilution of the conversion of obligations and the assumed exercises of securities including the effects of restricted share unit ("Restricted Share Units") and share option awards issued under the Company’s Share Incentive Plans ( Note 13 ). The effect of the assumed conversion of 188 Series A Preferred OP Units into 25,067 Common Shares would be anti-dilutive and therefore is not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 2016, 2015 and 2014. The effect of the assumed conversion of 141,593 Series C Preferred OP Units into 407,845 Common Shares, would be anti-dilutive and therefore is not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 2016. The effect of the conversion of Common OP Units is not reflected in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share, as they are exchangeable for Common Shares on a one-for-one basis.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company and its investments in partnerships and limited liability companies in which the Company has control in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 810 "Consolidation" ("ASC Topic 810"). The ownership interests of other investors in these entities are recorded as noncontrolling interests. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in entities for which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over, but does not have financial or operating control, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company’s share of the earnings (or losses) of these entities are included in consolidated net income. Variable interest entities are accounted for within the scope of ASC Topic 810 and are required to be consolidated by their primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity is the enterprise that has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the variable interest entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the variable interest entity that could be significant to the variable interest entity. Management has evaluated the applicability of ASC Topic 810 to its investments in certain joint ventures and determined that these joint ventures are not variable interest entities or that the Company is not the primary beneficiary and, therefore, consolidation of these ventures is not required. These investments are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Noncontrolling Interests Noncontrolling interests represent the portion of equity that the Company does not own in those entities it consolidates. The Company identifies its noncontrolling interests separately within the equity section on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The amounts of consolidated net earnings attributable to the Company and to the noncontrolling interests are presented separately on the Company’s consolidated statements of income. Noncontrolling interests also include amounts related to common and preferred OP Units issued to unrelated third parties in connection with certain property acquisitions. In addition, the Company periodically issues common OP Units to certain employees of the Company under its share-based incentive program. Unit holders generally have the right to redeem their units for shares of the Company's common stock subject to blackout and other limitations. Common and restricted OP Units are included in the caption Noncontrolling interest within the equity section on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
Cost Method Investments	Cost Method Investments The Company has certain investments to which it applies the cost method of accounting. The Company recognizes as income distributions from net accumulated earnings of the investee since the date of acquisition. The net accumulated earnings of an investee subsequent to the date of investment are recognized by the Company only to the extent distributed by the investee. Distributions received in excess of earnings subsequent to the date of investment are considered a return of investment and are recorded as reductions of cost of the investment. For the periods presented, there have been no events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the Company's cost-method investments.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") require the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to the valuation of real estate, depreciable lives, revenue recognition and the collectability of notes receivable and rents receivable. Application of these estimates and assumptions requires the exercise of judgment as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Reclassifications	Reclassifications Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Real Estate and Real Estate Under Development	Real Estate Land, buildings, and personal property are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Improvements and significant renovations that extend the useful life of the properties are capitalized, while replacements, maintenance, and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed as incurred. Real estate under development includes costs for significant property expansion and development. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: Buildings and improvements Useful lives, ranging from 30 to 40 years Furniture and fixtures Useful lives, ranging from five years to 20 years Tenant improvements Shorter of economic life or lease terms Purchase Accounting – Upon acquisitions of real estate, the Company assesses the fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities (including land, buildings and improvements, and identified intangibles such as above- and below-market leases and acquired in-place leases and customer relationships) and acquired liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic 805, "Business Combinations" and ASC Topic 350 "Intangibles – Goodwill and Other," and allocates the acquisition price based on these assessments. The Company assesses fair value of its tangible assets acquired and assumed liabilities based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information at the measurement period. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including the historical operating results, known trends, and market/economic conditions that may affect the property. In determining the value of above- and below-market leases, the Company estimates the present value difference between contractual rent obligations and estimated market rate of leases at the time of the transaction. To the extent there were fixed-rate options at below-market rental rates, the Company included these along with the current term below-market rent in arriving at the fair value of the acquired leases. The discounted difference between contract and market rents is being amortized to rental income over the remaining applicable lease term, inclusive of any option periods. In determining the value of acquired in-place leases and customer relationships, the Company considers market conditions at the time of the transaction and values the costs to execute similar leases during the expected lease-up period from vacancy to existing occupancy, including carrying costs. The value assigned to in-place leases and tenant relationships is amortized over the estimated remaining term of the leases. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its scheduled expiration, all unamortized costs relating to that lease would be written off. The Company estimates the value of any assumption of mortgage debt based on market conditions at the time of acquisitions including prevailing interest rates, terms and ability to obtain financing for a similar asset. Mortgage debt discounts or premiums are amortized into interest expense over the remaining term of the related debt instrument. Real Estate Under Development – The Company capitalizes certain costs related to the development of real estate. Interest and real estate taxes incurred during the period of the construction, expansion or development of real estate are capitalized and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the building. The Company will cease the capitalization of these costs when construction activities are substantially completed and the property is available for occupancy by tenants, but no later than one year from the completion of major construction activity at which time the project is placed in service and depreciation commences. If the Company suspends substantially all activities related to development of a qualifying asset, the Company will cease capitalization of interest and taxes until activities are resumed. Real Estate Impairment – The Company reviews its real estate and real estate under development for impairment when there is an event or a change in circumstances that indicates that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. In cases where the Company does not expect to recover its carrying costs on properties held for use, the Company reduces its carrying costs to fair value. The determination of anticipated undiscounted cash flows is inherently subjective, requiring significant estimates made by management, and considers the most likely expected course of action at the balance sheet date based on current plans, intended holding periods and available market information. If the Company is evaluating the potential sale of an asset, the undiscounted future cash flows analysis is probability-weighted based upon management’s best estimate of the likelihood of the alternative courses of action as of the balance sheet date. Such cash flow projections consider factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other factors. If an impairment is indicated, an impairment loss is recognized based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value. The Company did not record any impairment charges during the years ended December 31, 2016 or 2014. During the year ended December 31, 2015, as a result of the loss of a key anchor tenant at a property located in Wilmington, Delaware, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $5.0 million , which is included in the statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2015. The Operating Partnership's share of this charge, net of the noncontrolling interest, was $1.1 million . The property is collateral for $26.3 million of non-recourse mortgage debt which matured July 1, 2016 and is currently in default.
Disposition of Real Estate	Dispositions of Real Estate – The Company recognizes property sales in accordance with ASC Topic 970 "Real Estate." Sales of real estate include the sale of land, operating properties and investments in real estate joint ventures. Gains from dispositions are recognized using the full accrual or partial sale methods, provided that various criteria relating to the terms of sale and any subsequent involvement by the Company with the asset sold are met.
Real Estate Held-for-Sale	Real Estate Held for Sale – The Company generally considers assets to be held for sale when it has entered into a contract to sell the property, all material due diligence requirements have been satisfied, and management believes it is probable that the disposition will occur within one year. Assets that are classified as held for sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value, less cost to sell.
Notes Receivable	Notes Receivable Notes receivable include certain loans that are held for investment and are collateralized by real estate-related investments and may be subordinate to other senior loans. Notes receivable are recorded at stated principal amounts or at initial investment less accretive yield for loans purchased at a discount, which is accreted over the life of the note. The Company defers loan origination and commitment fees, net of origination costs, and amortizes them over the term of the related loan. The Company evaluates the collectability of both principal and interest based upon an assessment of the underlying collateral value to determine whether it is impaired. A reserve is recorded when, based upon current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the existing contractual terms. The amount of the reserve is calculated by comparing the recorded investment to the value of the underlying collateral. As the underlying collateral for a majority of the notes receivable is real estate-related investments, the same valuation techniques are used to value the collateral as those used to determine the fair value of real estate investments for impairment purposes. Given the small number of notes outstanding, the Company does not provide for an additional reserve based on the grouping of loans, as the Company believes the characteristics of its notes are not sufficiently similar to allow an evaluation of these notes as a group for a possible loan loss allowance. As such, all of the Company’s notes are evaluated individually for this purpose. Interest income on performing notes is accrued as earned. A note is placed on non-accrual status when, based upon current information and events, it is probable that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the existing contractual terms. Recognition of interest income on an accrual basis on non-performing notes is resumed when it is probable that the Company will be able to collect amounts due according to the contractual terms.
Investments in and Advances to Unconsolidated Joint Ventures	Investments in and Advances to Unconsolidated Joint Ventures Some of the Company’s joint ventures obtain non-recourse third-party financing on their property investments, contractually limiting the Company’s exposure to losses. The Company recognizes income for distributions in excess of its investment where there is no recourse to the Company and no intention or obligation to contribute additional capital. For investments in which there is recourse to the Company or an obligation or intention to contribute additional capital exists, distributions in excess of the investment are recorded as a liability. When characterizing distributions from equity investees within the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows, all distributions received are first applied as returns on investment to the extent there are cumulative earnings related to the respective investment and are classified as cash inflows from operating activities. If cumulative distributions are in excess of cumulative earnings, distributions are considered return of investment. In such cases, the distribution is classified as cash inflows from investing activities. To the extent that the Company’s carrying basis in an unconsolidated affiliate is different from the basis reflected at the joint venture level, the basis difference is amortized over the life of the related assets and included in the Company’s share of equity in net income (loss) of investments in unconsolidated affiliates the joint venture. The Company periodically reviews its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures for other-than-temporary losses in investment value. Any decline that is not expected to be recovered based on the underlying assets of the investment, is considered other than temporary and an impairment charge is recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the investment. During the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, there were no impairment charges related to the Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at financial institutions and, at times, balances may exceed the limits insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Restricted Cash	Restricted Cash Restricted cash consists principally of cash held for real estate taxes, construction costs, property maintenance, insurance, minimum occupancy and property operating income requirements at specific properties as required by certain loan agreements.
Deferred Costs	Deferred Costs Fees and costs paid in the successful negotiation of leases are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Fees and costs incurred in connection with obtaining financing are deferred and amortized as a component of interest expense over the term of the related debt obligation on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method. The Company capitalizes salaries, commissions and benefits related to time spent by leasing and legal department personnel involved in originating leases.
Derivatives Instruments and Hedging Activities	Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities The Company measures derivative instruments at fair value and record them as assets or liabilities, depending on its rights or obligations under the applicable derivative contract. Derivatives that are not designated as hedges must be adjusted to fair value through earnings. For a derivative designated and that qualified as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative is recognized in Other comprehensive (loss) income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative is recognized directly in earnings. Although the Company's derivative contracts are subject to master netting arrangements, which serve as credit mitigants to both the Company and its counterparties under certain situations, the Company does not net its derivative fair values or any existing rights or obligations to cash collateral on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. For the periods presented, all of the Company's derivatives qualified and were designated as cash flow hedges, and none of its derivatives were deemed ineffective.
Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable	Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable Minimum rents from tenants are recognized using the straight-line method over the non-cancelable lease term of the respective leases. Lease termination fees are recognized upon the effective termination of a tenant’s lease when the Company has no further obligations under the lease. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, unbilled rents receivable relating to the straight-lining of rents of $31.7 million and $31.3 million , respectively, are included in Rents Receivable, net on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Certain of these leases also provide for percentage rents based upon the level of sales achieved by the tenant. Percentage rent is recognized in the period when the tenants’ sales breakpoint is met. In addition, leases typically provide for the reimbursement to the Company of real estate taxes, insurance and other property operating expenses. These reimbursements are recognized as revenue in the period the related expenses are incurred. The Company makes estimates of the uncollectability of its accounts receivable related to tenant revenues. An allowance for doubtful accounts has been provided against certain tenant accounts receivable that are estimated to be uncollectible. Once the amount is ultimately deemed to be uncollectible, it is written off.
Share-based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation Stock-based compensation expense for all equity-classified stock-based compensation awards is based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with current accounting guidance for share-based payments. The Company recognizes these compensation costs for only those shares or units expected to vest on a straight-line or graded-vesting basis, as appropriate, over the requisite service period of the award. The Company includes stock-based compensation within the Additional paid-in capital caption of equity.
Income Tax	Income Taxes The Company has made an election to be taxed, and believes it qualifies, as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). To maintain REIT status for Federal income tax purposes, the Company is generally required to distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its shareholders as well as comply with certain other income, asset and organizational requirements as defined in the Code. Accordingly, the Company is generally not subject to Federal corporate income tax to the extent that it distributes 100% of its REIT taxable income each year. In connection with the REIT Modernization Act, the Company is permitted to participate in certain activities and still maintain its qualification as a REIT, so long as these activities are conducted in entities that elect to be treated as taxable subsidiaries under the Code. As such, the Company is subject to Federal and state income taxes on the income from these activities. The Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act (PATH Act) was enacted in December 2015, and included numerous law changes applicable to REITs. The provisions have various effective dates beginning as early as 2016. These changes did not materially impact the Company's operations or consolidated financial statements. Although it may qualify for REIT status for Federal income tax purposes, the Company is subject to state income or franchise taxes in certain states in which some of its properties are located. In addition, taxable income from non-REIT activities managed through the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRS") is fully subject to Federal, state and local income taxes. The Company accounts for TRS income taxes under the liability method as required by ASC Topic 740, "Income Taxes." Under the liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the temporary differences between the GAAP basis and tax basis of the TRS income, assets and liabilities. The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent it believes it is more likely than not that these assets will be realized and would record a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets when it has determined that an uncertainty exists regarding their realization, which would increase the provision for income taxes. In making such determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including forecasts of future taxable income, the reversal of other existing temporary differences, available net operating loss carry-forwards, tax planning strategies and recent results of operations. Several of these considerations require assumptions and significant judgment about the forecasts of future taxable income and are consistent with the plans and estimates that the Company is utilizing to manage its business. To the extent facts and circumstances change in the future, adjustments to the valuation allowances may be required.
Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model requiring a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 does not apply to the Company's lease revenues, but will apply to reimbursed tenant costs. Additionally, this guidance modifies disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year, until years beginning in 2018, with early adoption permitted but not before 2017. Entities may adopt ASU 2014-09 using either a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients or a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect recognized at the date of adoption. While the Company is still completing the assessment of the impact of this standard to its consolidated financial statements, management believes the majority of the Company's revenue falls outside of the scope of this guidance. The Company intends to implement the standard retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized in retained earnings at the date of application. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases." ASU 2016-02 outlines a new model for accounting by lessees, whereby their rights and obligations under substantially all leases, existing and new, would be capitalized and recorded on the balance sheet. For lessors, however, the accounting remains largely unchanged from the current model, with the distinction between operating and financing leases retained, but updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model and the new revenue recognition standard discussed above. The new guidance requires that internal leasing costs be expensed as incurred, as opposed to capitalized and deferred. ASU 2016-02 will also require extensive quantitative and qualitative disclosures and is effective beginning after December 15, 2018, but early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the new standard and has not yet determined if it will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements; however, the Company capitalized internal leasing costs of $1.1 million , $1.4 million and $0.9 million during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments – Credit Losses." ASU 2016-13 introduces a new model for estimating credit losses for certain types of financial instruments, including loans receivable, held-to-maturity debt securities, and net investments in direct financing leases, amongst other financial instruments. ASU 2016-13 also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and expands the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating the allowance for losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Retrospective adjustments shall be applied through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, the FASB issued No. 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows – Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments." ASU 2016-15 provides guidance on certain specific cash flow issues, including, but not limited to, debt prepayment or extinguishment costs, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination and distributions received from equity method investees. ASU 2016-15 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted and shall be applied retrospectively where practicable. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01 "Business Combinations – Clarifying the Definition of a Business." ASU 2017-01 clarifies that to be considered a business, the elements must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output. The new standard illustrates the circumstances under which real estate with in-place leases would be considered a business and provides guidance for the identification of assets and liabilities in purchase accounting. ASU 2017-01 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2014-15 will have on its consolidated financial statements; however, it is expected that the new standard would reduce the number of future real estate acquisitions that will be accounted for as business combinations and, therefore, reduce the amount of acquisition costs that will be expensed. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-03 "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (Topic 250) and Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323)." ASU 2017-03 amends certain SEC guidance in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification in response to SEC staff announcements made during 2016 EITF meetings which addressed (i) the additional qualitative disclosures that a registrant is expected to provide when it cannot reasonably estimate the impact that ASUs 2014-09, 2016-02 and 2016-13 will have in applying the guidance in SAB Topic 11.M and (ii) guidance in ASC 323 related to the amendments made by ASU 2014-01 regarding use of the proportional amortization method in accounting for investments in qualified affordable housing projects (announcement made at the November 17, 2016, EITF meeting. The adoption of ASU 2017-03 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted ASU No. 2015-01, "Income Statement – Extraordinary and Unusual Items." ASU 2015-01 eliminates the concept of extraordinary items. However, the presentation and disclosure requirements for items that are either unusual in nature or infrequent in occurrence remain and will be expanded to include items that are both unusual in nature and infrequent in occurrence. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted ASU No. 2015-02, "Consolidation – Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis," which modified the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities ("VIE's"), particularly those with fee arrangements and related party relationships. Consolidated VIE's are those where the Company is considered to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has a controlling financial interest in the VIE, which is defined by the entity having both of the following characteristics: (i) the power to direct the activities that, when taken together, most significantly impact the VIE’s performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive the returns from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company reviewed all of its entities in accordance with ASU 2015-02 and concluded that certain of its legal entities, including the Operating Partnership and the Funds, which have always been consolidated, are now VIE's. There were no entities qualifying under the scope of the revised guidance that were consolidated as a result of the adoption. As a result of the classification of the Operating Partnership as a VIE, substantially all of the Company's assets and liabilities are assets and liabilities of a VIE. Accordingly, the adoption of ASU 2015-02 had no other impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
