Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: Basis of Presentation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm. The Company's sole significant asset is its investment in the Operating Partnership and as a result, substantially all of the Company's assets and liabilities represent the assets and liabilities of the Operating Partnership. In addition, the Operating Partnership has investments in a number of consolidated variable interest entities ("VIEs"), including Fashion District Philadelphia and SanTan Village Regional Center. The Operating Partnership's consolidated VIEs included the following assets and liabilities: June 30, December 31, Assets: Property, net $ 445,426 $ 452,559 Other assets 98,122 93,102 Total assets $ 543,548 $ 545,661 Liabilities: Mortgage notes payable $ 295,051 $ 323,841 Other liabilities 128,367 135,340 Total liabilities $ 423,418 $ 459,181 All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: (Continued) The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements for the interim periods have been made. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 has been derived from the audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The following table presents a reconciliation of the beginning of period and end of period cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported on the Company's consolidated balance sheets to the totals shown on its consolidated statements of cash flows: For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 2022 Beginning of period Cash and cash equivalents $ 100,320 $ 112,454 Restricted cash 80,819 54,517 Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 181,139 $ 166,971 End of period Cash and cash equivalents $ 92,465 $ 106,384 Restricted cash 92,338 52,060 Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 184,803 $ 158,444

The Company recorded other comprehensive income related to the marking-to-market of derivative instruments of $350 and $9 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, an d $470 and $40 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The entire $470 in other comprehensive income at June 30, 2023 is the Company's pro rata share of hedged derivative instruments from certain unconsolidated joint ventures. The following derivatives were outstanding at June 30, 2023: Fair Value Property Designation Notional Amount Product LIBOR Rate Maturity June 30, December 31, Santa Monica Place Non-Hedged $ 300,000 Cap 4.00 % 12/9/2023 $ 1,858 $ 2,576 The Macerich Partnership, L.P. Non-Hedged $ (300,000) Sold Cap 4.00 % 12/9/2023 $ (1,855) $ (2,567) The above derivatives were valued with an aggregate fair value (Level 2 measurement) and were included in other assets (other accrued liabilities). The fair value of the Company's interest rate derivatives was determined using discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of the derivatives. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty's nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. The Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its interest rate caps. As a result, the Company determined that its interest rate cap valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Co-Venture Arrangement [Abstract]
Financing Arrangement	On September 30, 2009, the Company formed a joint venture whereby a third party acquired a 49.9% interest in Chandler Fashion Center, a 1,320,000 square foot regional shopping center in Chandler, Arizona, and Freehold Raceway Mall, a 1,549,000 square foot regional shopping center in Freehold, New Jersey (collectively referred to herein as "Chandler Freehold"). As a result of the Company having certain rights under the agreement to repurchase the assets after the seventh year of the formation of Chandler Freehold, the transaction did not qualify for sale treatment. The Company, however, is not obligated to repurchase the assets. The Company accounts for its investment in Chandler Freehold as a financing arrangement. The fair value (Level 3 measurement) of the financing arrangement obligation at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was based upon a terminal capitalization rate of approximately 6.50% and 6.25%, respectively, a discount rate at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 of 8.25% and 7.75%, respectively, and market rents per square foot of $35 to $240. The fair value of the financing arrangement obligation is sensitive to these significant unobservable inputs and a change in these inputs may result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. Distributions to the partner, excluding distributions of excess loan proceeds, and changes in fair value of the financing arrangement obligation are recognized as related party interest (income) expense in the Company's consolidated statements of operations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized related party interest (income) expense in the Company's consolidated statements of operations in connection with the financing arrangement as follows: For the Three Months Ended June 30, For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Distributions equal to the partner's share of net income (loss) $ 260 $ (248) $ (79) $ 249 Distributions in excess of the partner's share of net income (loss) 1,352 1,899 4,169 6,861 Adjustment to fair value of financing arrangement obligation 4,368 7,241 (7,517) 9,785 $ 5,980 $ 8,892 $ (3,427) $ 16,895

Share and Unit-Based Plans	Share and Unit-Based Plans: Under the Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP"), each award recipient is issued a form of operating partnership units ("LTIP Units") in the Operating Partnership or form of restricted stock units (together with the LTIP Units, the "LTI Units"). Upon the occurrence of specified events and subject to the satisfaction of applicable vesting conditions, LTIP Units (after conversion into OP Units) are ultimately redeemable for common stock of the Company, or cash at the Company's option, on a one-unit for one-share basis. LTI Units receive cash dividends based on the dividend amount paid on the common stock of the Company. The LTIP may include market-indexed awards, performance-based awards and service-based awards. The market-indexed LTI Units vest over the service period of the award based on the percentile ranking of the Company in terms of total return to stockholders (the "Total Return") per share of common stock relative to the Total Return of a group of peer REITs, as measured at the end of the measurement period.
