Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Acadia Realty Trust (the “Trust”) and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), is a fully-integrated equity real estate investment trust (“REIT”) focused on the ownership, acquisition, redevelopment, and management of high-quality retail properties and urban/infill mixed-use properties with a strong retail component located primarily in high-barrier-to-entry, supply constrained, densely-populated metropolitan areas in the United States along the East Coast and in Chicago.
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, 2012 , the Trust controlled approximately 99% of the Operating Partnership as the sole general partner. As the general partner, the Trust 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 15). 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 Trust (“Common Shares”). This structure is referred to as an umbrella partnership REIT or “UPREIT.”
As of December 31, 2012 , the Company has ownership interests in 72 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 opportunity funds ("Core Portfolio"). The Company also has ownership interests in 28 properties within its opportunity funds, Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund I, LP ("Fund I"), Acadia Strategic Opportunity II, LLC ("Fund II"), Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund III LLC ("Fund III") and Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund IV LLC (("Fund IV") and together with Funds I, II, and III, the "Opportunity Funds"). The 100 Core Portfolio and Opportunity Fund properties primarily consist of urban/street retail, dense suburban neighborhood and community shopping centers and mixed-use properties with a strong retail component. In addition, the Company, together with the investors in the Opportunity 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 Operating Partnership is the sole general partner or managing member of the Opportunity Funds and Mervyns I and II and earns fees or priority distributions for asset management, property management, construction, redevelopment, leasing, and legal services. Cash flows from the Opportunity 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).
