Strategic Developments

Our Strategic Developments assets generally require substantial future development to maximize their value. Other than our condominium properties, most of the properties and projects in this segment do not generate revenues. Our expenses relating to these assets are primarily related to costs associated with constructing the assets, selling condominiums, marketing costs associated with our Strategic Developments, carrying costs including, but not limited to, property taxes and insurance and other ongoing costs relating to maintaining the assets in their current condition. If we decide to redevelop or develop a Strategic Developments asset, we expect that with the exception of the residential portion of our condominium projects, upon completion of development, the asset would likely be reclassified to Operating Assets when the asset is placed in service and NOI would become a meaningful measure of its operating performance. All development costs discussed herein are exclusive of land costs.

Segment EBT The following table presents segment EBT for Strategic Developments for the years ended December 31:

Strategic Developments segment EBT decreased $207.5 million compared to the prior-year period primarily due to the following:

–Condominium sales, net of cost of sales decreased $187.4 million, excluding the change in remediation costs of$13.4 million discussed below, due to the timing of condominium closings, including the completion of Kō'ula in the third quarter of 2022, and pricing reductions in 2023 at ‘A‘ali‘i and Kō'ula to facilitate the close-out of remaining units. We closed on 31 units at ‘A‘ali‘i and 16 units at Kō'ula during 2023, compared to 549 units at Kō'ula, 56 units at ‘A‘ali‘i, and 2 units at Waiea during the prior year. The lower volume of condominium closings in 2023 was expected as our completed towers are now 100.0% sold and the next tower, Victoria Place, is not scheduled for completion until late 2024.

–Condominium cost of sales also includes anincrease of $13.4 million due to charges related to the defect remediation accrual at Waiea. We charged$16.1 million in 2023, related to additional anticipated costs, compared to $2.7 million charged in 2022.

Ward Village

We continue to transform Ward Village into a vibrant neighborhood offering unique retail experiences, dining, and entertainment, along with exceptional residences and workforce housing set among open public spaces and pedestrian-friendly streets. We believe we have found the optimal mix of price point and product in the Honolulu market for condominium development as evidenced by the demand for our condominium projects discussed below. The ongoing and completed construction at our mixed-use condominium projects includes 232,020 square feet of retail to serve our new residents and the community at large. As we progress the buildout of the master plan, which ultimately contemplates a total of approximately 1,000,000 million square feet of commercial space at completion, we will periodically redevelop, reposition, or replace the existing retail spaces as part of new mixed-use projects.

Condominium revenue is recognized when construction of the condominium tower is complete and unit sales close, leading to potentially significant variability in revenue recognized between periods. Sales contracts for condominium units are subject to a 30-day rescission period, and the buyers are typically required to make an initial deposit at signing and an additional deposit 30 days later at which point their total deposit becomes non-refundable. Buyers are typically then required to make a final deposit within approximately 90 days of our receipt of their second deposit. Certain buyers are required to deposit the remainder of the sales price on a predetermined pre-closing date, which is specified in the sales contracts for each condominium project. Contracted units disclosed below represent sales that are past the 30-day rescission period.

During 2023, we achieved 100% presold status at Ulana Ward Village, achieved 100% sold status at ‘A‘ali‘i and Kō‘ula, and began construction at Ulana Ward Village.
