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.

Strategic Developments segment EBT increased $12.1 million compared to the prior-year period primarily due to the following:
–Condominium cost of sales includes a decrease of $16.1 million due to charges related to the defect remediation at Waiea incurred in the second quarter of 2023, that did not reoccur in the current quarter.
This increase to EBT was partially offset by the following:
–Depreciation increased $2.9 million compared to the prior-year period primarily due to accelerated depreciation for the Kalae model unit, which was decommissioned in the second quarter of 2024, to allow for the construction of future tower model units.
–Condominium sales, net of cost of sales decreased $1.7 million, excluding the change in remediation costs of $16.1 million discussed above, due to the timing of condominium closings. We had no condominium closings during the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 11 units at ‘A‘ali‘i and 4 units at Kō'ula during the prior-year quarter. The lower volume of condominium closings is expected as our completed towers are now 100.0% sold and the next tower, Victoria Place, is not scheduled for completion until late 2024.
Strategic Developments segment EBT increased $10.1 million compared to the prior-year period primarily due to the following:
–Condominium cost of sales includes a decrease of $13.1 million due to charges related to the defect remediation at Waiea. We charged$3.0 million in the first quarter of 2024, to fund the final remediation expenditures, compared to$16.1 million of additional costs charged in the prior-year period.
–Operating costs decreased $3.1 million, primarily due to a decrease in legal costs compared to the prior-year period.
These increases to EBT were partially offset by the following:
–Condominium sales, net of cost of sales decreased $4.1 million, excluding the change in remediation costs of$13.1 million discussed above, due to the timing of condominium closings. We had no condominium closings during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 15 units at ‘A‘ali‘i and 5 units at Kō'ula and during the prior-year period.
–Depreciation increased $3.4 million compared to the prior-year period primarily due to accelerated depreciation for the Kalae model unit, which was decommissioned in the second quarter of 2024, to allow for the construction of future tower model units.
Condominiums Condominium revenue is recognized when construction of the condominium tower is complete and unit sales close, leading to variability in revenue recognized between periods.
