Common And Preferred Shares Disclosure [Text Block]
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company declared cash dividends totaling $0.930 and $1.830 per common share, respectively. Additionally, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company declared cash dividends of $0.359375 and $0.71875 per share, respectively, on each of the Company's 5.75% Series C cumulative convertible preferred shares and the Company's 5.75% Series G cumulative redeemable preferred shares, and cash dividends of $0.5625 and $1.125 per share, respectively, on the Company's 9.00% Series E cumulative convertible preferred shares.

At-the-Market Program ("ATM Program")
On December 5, 2025, the Company entered into an ATM Program, pursuant to which the Company may issue common shares having an aggregate sales price of up to $400.0 million on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions deemed to be “at-the-market” offerings under SEC rules, including through forward sales agreements. Transactions under the ATM Program, if any, will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Company, including market conditions, the trading price of the Company's common shares and the Company's capital needs. The Company intends to use any net proceeds from the sale of common shares pursuant to the ATM Program for general corporate purposes, including funding the Company's pipeline of acquisition and build-to-suit projects, working capital and the repayment of the Company's outstanding indebtedness. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $329.1 million of capacity remaining under the ATM Program.

The use of forward sales agreements allows the Company to lock in a share price on the sale of shares at the time the forward sale agreement becomes effective, but defer receiving the proceeds from the sale of shares until a later date. If the Company enters into a forward sale agreement, it expects to physically settle each forward sale agreement with the forward purchaser on one or more dates specified by the Company prior to the maturity date of that particular forward sale agreement. The aggregate net cash proceeds at settlement will equal the number of shares underlying the particular forward sale agreement multiplied by the relevant forward sale price. The forward sales price will be equal to the volume-weighted average hedge price per share at which the borrowed common shares were sold by the forward seller, less a per share commission, subject to adjustment. However, the Company may also elect to cash settle or net share settle a particular forward sale agreement, in which case cash proceeds may or may not be received or cash may be owed to the forward purchaser. Until settlement of the forward sale agreements, earnings per share dilution resulting from the forward sale agreements will be determined under the treasury stock method. Share dilution occurs when the average market price of the Company's common shares is higher than the average forward sales price.

The Company did not issue any common shares under its ATM Program during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. The following table summarizes activity under the Company's ATM Program in connection with forward sales agreements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 (dollars in thousands except share information):

Settlement of these shares is subject to customary closing conditions, and actual net proceeds will be net of costs and certain adjustments calculated on the settlement date.

The Company did not initially receive any proceeds from the sale of forward shares under the ATM Program. The Company has the option to settle the outstanding common shares listed above prior to the maturity dates of the respective forward sales agreements beginning on March 1, 2027 through June 30, 2027, by physical delivery of the outstanding common shares in exchange for cash proceeds.

Amended Credit Agreement
On July 17, 2026, the Company entered into a Fifth Amended, Restated and Consolidated Credit Agreement (the Amended Credit Agreement), governing an amended and restated $1.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility and a new $600.0 million senior unsecured delayed draw term loan facility. The Amended Credit Agreement replaced the Company’s existing $1.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility.

The amendments to the revolving credit facility, among other things, (i) extend the maturity date from October 2, 2028 to July 17, 2030, with two six-month extension options, subject to the payment of additional fees and the satisfaction of customary conditions, (ii) generally reduce the interest rate payable on outstanding loans by 5 basis points, (iii) modify the asset value calculations under certain financial covenants to include the expected cash proceeds from the sale of common shares under qualified forward equity contracts and (iv) split the prior revolving facility’s $300.0 million foreign currency sublimit into a separate, stand-alone foreign currency revolving credit facility of the same size.

The Amended Credit Agreement also established a new senior unsecured delayed draw term loan facility that, among other things, (i) provides for an initial committed amount of $600.0 million that may be drawn upon prior to January 17, 2027, subject to earlier termination, (ii) bears interest based on the Company’s credit ratings (SOFR plus 115 basis points at closing), (iii) carries a ticking fee of 0.25% per annum on undrawn commitments beginning on October 16, 2026, and (iv) matures on January 17, 2032.

In addition, the Amended Credit Agreement includes a $1.0 billion accordion feature on the combined unsecured revolving credit and delayed draw term loan facilities that increases the maximum amount available under the combined facilities from $1.6 billion to $2.6 billion, at the Company’s election and subject to lender consent and customary conditions.
