ENTERTAINMENT PROPERTIES

As of December 31, 2023, we leased approximately 1,970,000 square feet of completed cinema space in the United States, Australia, and New Zealand as follows:

Australia977,0002024 – 2066
New Zealand213,0002024 – 2051

In certain cases, we have long-term leases that we view more akin to real estate investments than cinema leases. As of 2023, we had approximately 90,000 square feet of space subject to such long-term leases, which are reported as part of our Cinema Exhibition segment, detailed as follows:

INVESTMENT AND DEVELOPMENT PROPERTY

We are engaged in several investment and development projects relative to our currently undeveloped parcels of land. In addition, we are currently executing, or still pursuing to execute, our redevelopment plans on several of our existing developed properties to take them to their highest and best use. The following table summarizes our investment and development projects as of 2023:

Some of our income producing properties and our investment and development properties carry various debt encumbrances based on their income streams and geographic locations. For an explanation of our debt and the associated security collateral please see Part II, Item 8 – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements--Note 12 – Borrowings.

EXECUTIVE AND ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES

In the United States, we occupy approximately 3,500 square feet at our Village East leasehold property in New York for administrative purposes and our principal executive offices. We occupied approximately 12,500 square feet of our Culver City office building for administrative purposes. In February 2024, we sold our Culver City office and our employees who formerly worked at that office are currently working remotely until we secure a new Los Angeles office.

In Australia, we own an approximately 9,000 square foot office building in Melbourne, Australia, approximately 6,000 square feet of which serve as the administrative office for our Australian and New Zealand operations (the remainder being leased to an unrelated third party). We have approximately 4,800 square feet of office space located in our Courtenay Central ETC in Wellington, New Zealand, which is currently closed due to seismic concerns. This office space used to house our accounting personnel and certain IT and operational personnel who are working remotely in the meantime.

OTHER PROPERTY INTERESTS AND INVESTMENTS

We own the fee interests in various parcels related to our historic railroad operations, currently comprised of 201-acres principally in Pennsylvania. These are primarily vacant land. With the exception of certain properties located in Philadelphia (including the raised railroad bed near Center City, known as the Reading Viaduct), the properties are principally located in rural areas of Pennsylvania. These properties are unencumbered by any debt.
