In certain cases, we have long-term leases that we view more akin to real estate investments than cinema leases. As of 2024, 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
Before the COVID-19 Pandemic, we were engaged in several investment and development projects relative to our currently undeveloped parcels of land. As of today, certain of those parcels, including in Wellington, NZ on Wakefield Street and Tory Street, have been sold. As our financial conditions improves, we will continue to pursue redevelopment plans on certain existing developed properties to take them to their highest and best use.

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 13 – 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).
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.
