Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Related Party Transactions	Related Party Transactions Management Agreement In connection with our initial public offering in September 2009, we entered into a management agreement (the "Management Agreement") with the Manager, which describes the services to be provided by the Manager and its compensation for those services. The Manager is responsible for managing our day-to-day operations, subject to the direction and oversight of our board of directors. Pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement, the Manager is paid a base management fee equal to 1.5% per annum of our stockholders’ equity (as defined in the Management Agreement), calculated and payable (in cash) quarterly in arrears. The term of the Management Agreement was automatically renewed for a successive one-year term on September 29, 2022, and will automatically renew on each anniversary thereafter. The Management Agreement may be terminated upon expiration of the one-year extension term only upon the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of our independent directors, based upon (1) unsatisfactory performance by the Manager that is materially detrimental to ARI or (2) a determination that the management fee payable to the Manager is not fair, subject to the Manager’s right to prevent such a termination based on unfair fees by accepting a mutually acceptable reduction of management fees agreed to by at least two-thirds of our independent directors. The Manager must be provided with written notice of any such termination at least 180 days prior to the expiration of the then existing term and will be paid a termination fee equal to three times the sum of the average annual base management fee during the 24-month period immediately preceding the date of termination, calculated as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal quarter prior to the date of termination. Following a meeting by our independent directors in February 2022, which included a discussion of the Manager’s performance and the level of the management fees thereunder, we determined not to seek termination of the Management Agreement. We incurred approximately $9.7 million and $28.6 million in base management fees under the Management Agreement for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, as compared to $9.6 million and $28.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. In addition to the base management fee, we are also responsible for reimbursing the Manager for certain expenses paid by the Manager on our behalf or for certain services provided by the Manager to us. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 we paid expenses totaling $0.9 million and $3.1 million, respectively, related to reimbursements for certain expenses paid by the Manager on our behalf under the Management Agreement as compared to $0.5 million and $1.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. Expenses incurred by the Manager and reimbursed by us are reflected in the respective condensed consolidated statement of operations expense category or our condensed consolidated balance sheet based on the nature of the item. Included in payable to related party on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 is approximately $9.7 million and $9.8 million, respectively, for base management fees incurred but not yet paid under the Management Agreement. Loans receivable In June 2015, we originated a $20.0 million mezzanine loan secured by pledges of equity interests in the property recorded as real estate owned - held for sale on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2022. The mezzanine loan was subordinate to (i) a $110.0 million mortgage loan, originated by a third party, and (ii) a $24.5 million senior mezzanine loan, originated by an affiliate of the Manager. On May 24, 2021, we purchased the $24.5 million senior mezzanine loan at par from the affiliate and acquired legal title to the hotel through a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. Refer to "Note 5 – Assets and Liabilities Related to Real Estate Owned" for additional information. We own three mezzanine loans, including Junior Mezzanine B Loan, and a commercial mortgage that are secured by the same ultra luxury residential property currently under construction in Manhattan, NY. During the third quarter of 2021, the Seller transferred its Junior Mezzanine B Loan position to the Company and in connection with this transfer, one of the property’s subordinate capital providers paid the Seller a price representing the Seller’s original principal balance on the Junior Mezzanine B Loan position with the Seller agreeing to forego its accrued interest on the Junior Mezzanine B Loan. During the third quarter of 2022, we refinanced our mezzanine loans, and originated a commercial mortgage loan as part of an overall recapitalization. The mezzanine positions held by entities managed by affiliates of the Manager were repaid. Refer to "Note 4 - Commercial Mortgage Loans, Subordinate Loans and Other Lending Assets, Net" for additional information. In September 2022, we transferred £293.4 million ($327.7 million assuming conversion into USD) of unfunded commitments related to a mixed-use development property located in London, UK to entities managed by affiliates of the Manager. Refer to "Note 4 – Commercial Mortgage Loans, Subordinate Loans and Other Lending Assets, Net" for additional disclosure.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the AIF incurred $11,000 and $57,000 in fees payable to the AIFM, which is recorded in payable to related party on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
