Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Business Segments

BUSINESS SEGMENTS

As a result of the sale of Block 21, Stratus has two operating segments: Real Estate Operations and Leasing Operations. Block 21, which encompassed Stratus’ Hotel and Entertainment segments, along with some leasing operations, is presented as discontinued operations.

The Real Estate Operations segment is comprised of Stratus’ real estate assets (developed for sale, under development and available for development), which consists of its properties in Austin, Texas (including the Barton Creek Community, which includes Section N, Holden Hills, Amarra multi-family and commercial land, Amarra Villas, Amarra Drive lots and other vacant land; the Circle C community; the Lantana community, which includes a portion of Lantana Place planned for a multi-family phase known as The Saint Julia; The Saint George; and the land for The Annie B); in Lakeway, Texas, located in the greater Austin area (Lakeway); in College Station, Texas (land for future phases of retail and multi-family development and retail pad sites at Jones Crossing); and in Magnolia, Texas (land for a future phase of retail development and for future multi-family use and retail pad sites at Magnolia Place), Kingwood, Texas (a retail pad site) and New Caney, Texas (New Caney), each located in the greater Houston area.

The Leasing Operations segment is comprised of Stratus’ real estate assets held for investment that are leased or available for lease and includes The Saint June, West Killeen Market, Lantana Place, Kingwood Place and the completed portions of Jones Crossing and Magnolia Place and retail pad sites subject to ground leases at Lantana Place, Kingwood Place and Jones Crossing.

Stratus uses operating income or loss to measure the performance of each segment. General and administrative expenses, which primarily consist of employee salaries, wages and other costs, are managed on a consolidated basis and are not allocated to Stratus’ operating segments. The following segment information reflects management determinations that may not be indicative of what the actual financial performance of each segment would be if it were an independent entity.

Income Taxes	9 Months Ended
Income Taxes	Sep. 30, 2023
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	INCOME TAXES Stratus’ accounting policy for and other information regarding its income taxes are further described in Notes 1 and 7 in the Stratus 2022 Form 10-K. Stratus has a full valuation allowance against its U.S. Federal net deferred tax assets as of both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Stratus has recorded a deferred tax asset totaling $38 thousand at both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 related to state income taxes. In evaluating the recoverability of the remaining deferred tax assets, management considered available positive and negative evidence, giving greater weight to the uncertainty regarding projected future financial results. Upon a change in facts and circumstances, management may conclude that sufficient positive evidence exists to support a reversal of, or decrease in, the valuation allowance in the future, which would favorably impact Stratus' results of operations. Stratus’ future results of operations may be negatively impacted by an inability to realize a tax benefit for future tax losses or for items that will generate additional deferred tax assets that are not more likely than not to be realized. During 2023, Stratus expects to incur current state income taxes in addition to U.S. Federal current income taxes primarily associated with taxable income generated from cash received in the Holden Hills transaction discussed in Note 3. The difference between Stratus' consolidated effective income tax rate of (16) percent for the first nine months of 2023 and the U.S. Federal statutory income tax rate of 21 percent was primarily attributable to state income taxes, noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries, the presence of a valuation allowance against its U.S. Federal net deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2023, and the executive compensation limitation. The difference between Stratus' consolidated effective income tax rate of (13) percent for the first nine months of 2022 and the U.S. Federal statutory income tax rate of 21 percent was primarily attributable to state income taxes, noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries, the presence of a valuation allowance against certain U.S. Federal deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2022, and the release of a reserve on uncertain tax positions related to the 2015 through 2017 U.S. Federal tax audit, which was closed in first-quarter 2022. On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the IR Act) was enacted in the United States. Among other provisions, the IR Act imposes a new 1 percent excise tax on the fair market value of net corporate stock repurchases made by covered corporations, effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. Stratus does not expect the IR Act to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for income taxes. Disclosures may include net deferred tax liability or asset recognized in an enterprise's statement of financial position, net change during the year in the total valuation allowance, approximate tax effect of each type of temporary difference and carryforward that gives rise to a significant portion of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets, utilization of a tax carryback, and tax uncertainties information.

a.Includes net reductions for unamortized debt issuance costs of $2.4 million at September 30, 2023, and $1.1 million at December 31, 2022.

Comerica Bank revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2023, Status had $40.5 million available under the Comerica Bank revolving credit facility net of letters of credit totaling $13.3 million, $11.0 million of which was issued to secure Stratus’ obligation to build certain roads and utilities facilities benefiting Holden Hills and Section N. In March 2023, Stratus entered into a modification of the revolving credit facility, which extended the maturity date of the revolving credit facility to March 27, 2025, and increased the floor of the one-month BSBY Rate. As amended, advances under the revolving credit facility bear interest at the one-month BSBY Rate (with a floor of 0.50 percent) plus 4.00 percent. In May 2023, Stratus entered into a modification of the revolving credit facility to increase the maximum amount of letters of credit that may be issued under the revolving credit facility from $11.5 million to $13.3 million. In July 2023, Stratus entered into a $2.3 million letter of credit to secure its obligations, which are

subject to certain conditions, to construct and pay for certain utility infrastructure in Lakeway, Texas, estimated to cost approximately $2.3 million.

Jones Crossing loan. The Jones Crossing loan requires the Jones Crossing project to meet a debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) test of 1.15 to 1.00 measured quarterly and, starting June 30, 2023, on a rolling 12 month basis. If the DSCR falls below 1.15 to 1.00, it is not an event of default, but a “Cash Sweep Period” (as defined in the Jones Crossing loan) results, which limits Stratus’ ability to receive cash from its Jones Crossing subsidiary, unless a principal payment is made on the loan to restore the DSCR to the required threshold. The DSCR fell below 1.15 to 1.00 in each of fourth-quarter 2022 and first-quarter 2023, and the Jones Crossing subsidiary made principal payments of $231 thousand and $1.7 million in February 2023 and May 2023, respectively, to bring the DSCR back above 1.15 to 1.00 and a Cash Sweep Period did not occur. As permitted under the Jones Crossing loan agreement, in August 2023 the Jones Crossing subsidiary separated the ground lease for the multi-family parcel (the Multi-Family Phase) from the primary ground lease, and the Multi-Family Phase was released from the loan collateral. In October 2023, the Jones Crossing loan was modified effective August 1, 2023 to remove the Multi-Family Phase from certain defined terms and to revise the DSCR calculation to exclude the Multi-Family Phase from expenses on a retroactive basis beginning in second-quarter 2023. Accordingly, the DSCR met the threshold in second-quarter and third-quarter 2023.

The Annie B land loan. In February 2023, Stratus Block 150, L.P. entered into a modification agreement that extended the maturity date of The Annie B land loan to March 1, 2024, and changed the interest rate to the one-month BSBY Rate (with a floor of 0.50 percent) plus 3.00 percent. In connection with the modification agreement, Stratus Block 150, LP, escrowed an interest reserve of $0.6 million with the lender.

New Caney land loan. In March 2023, the New Caney land loan was repaid.

Kingwood Place construction loan. The Kingwood Place construction loan currently matures on December 6, 2023. Stratus Kingwood Place, L.P. exercised its option to extend the maturity date for one additional 12-month period, which the lender has approved. Stratus Kingwood Place, L.P. is working with the lender to document the extension and modification of the loan agreement.

The Saint June construction loan. In January 2023, The Saint June construction loan was amended to change the interest rate for the loan to SOFR with a floor of 0.75 percent plus 2.85 percent, subject to an overall 3.50 percent floor.

Amarra Villas revolving credit facility. In March 2023, Stratus made a $2.2 million principal payment on the Amarra Villas revolving credit facility upon the closing of a sale of one of the Amarra Villas homes.

Magnolia Place construction loan. In May 2023, the Magnolia Place construction loan was amended to change the interest rate for the loan to Term SOFR with a floor of 0.00 percent plus 3.36 percent, subject to an overall 3.50 percent floor.

Holden Hills construction loan. In February 2023, the Holden Hills partnership entered into a loan agreement with Comerica Bank to finance the development of Phase I of the Holden Hills Project.

The loan agreement provides for a senior secured construction loan in the aggregate principal amount of the least of (i) $26.1 million, (ii) 23 percent of the total development costs for Phase I or (iii) the amount that would result in a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 28 percent. The loan has a maturity date of February 8, 2026. Advances under the loan bear interest at the one-month BSBY Rate (with a floor of 0.50 percent), plus 3.00 percent. Payments of interest only on the loan are due monthly until the maturity date with the outstanding principal due at maturity. The Holden Hills partnership may prepay all or any portion of the loan without premium or penalty. Amounts repaid under the loan may not be reborrowed.

The loan is secured by the Holden Hills Project, including the land related to both Phase I and Phase II, and the Phase I improvements. After completion of construction of Phase I, the Holden Hills partnership may sell and obtain releases of the liens on single-family platted home sites, individual pods or the Phase II land, subject to specified conditions, and upon payment to the lender of specified amounts related to the parcel to be released. The Holden Hills partnership is not permitted to make distributions to its partners, including Stratus, while the loan is

outstanding. The Holden Hills partnership must apply all Municipal Utility District (MUD) reimbursements it receives and is entitled to retain as payments of principal on the loan.

Stratus entered into a guaranty for the benefit of the lender pursuant to which Stratus guaranteed the payment of the loan and the completion of Phase I, including the Tecoma Improvements (which benefit both the Holden Hills Project and Section N). Stratus is also liable for customary carve-out obligations and an environmental indemnity. Stratus must maintain, on a consolidated basis, a net asset value not less than $125.0 million, and a debt-to-gross-asset value not more than 50 percent (in each case as defined in the guaranty).

For additional information regarding Stratus' debt, refer to Note 6 in the Stratus 2022 Form 10-K.

Interest Expense and Capitalization. Interest costs (before capitalized interest) totaled $3.4 million in third-quarter 2023, $1.8 million in third-quarter 2022, $8.7 million for the first nine months of 2023 and $4.4 million for the first nine months of 2022. Substantially all of these interest costs were capitalized for all periods presented. Capitalized interest is primarily related to development activities at Barton Creek (primarily Holden Hills, Section N and The Saint June), The Saint George and The Annie B for all periods presented.

Equity. The Comerica Bank revolving credit facility, Amarra Villas revolving credit facility, The Annie B land loan, The Saint George construction loan, Kingwood Place construction loan and Holden Hills construction loan require Comerica Bank’s prior written consent for any common stock repurchases in excess of $1.0 million or any dividend payments. On September 1, 2022, after receiving written consent from Comerica Bank, Stratus’ Board of Directors (Board) declared a special cash dividend of $4.67 per share (totaling $40.0 million) on Stratus’ common stock, which was paid on September 29, 2022 to shareholders of record as of September 19, 2022. Accrued liabilities included $0.6 million as of September 30, 2023, and $1.3 million as of December 31, 2022, representing dividends accrued for unvested RSUs in accordance with the terms of the awards. The accrued dividends are paid to the holders of the RSUs as the RSUs vest.

In 2022, with written consent from Comerica Bank, Stratus’ Board also approved a share repurchase program, which authorized repurchases of up to $10.0 million of Stratus’ common stock. During the first nine months of 2023, Stratus acquired 91,919 shares of its common stock under the share repurchase program for a total cost of $2.1 million at an average price of $22.43 per share. In October 2023, Stratus completed the share repurchase program. In total, under the completed share repurchase program Stratus acquired 389,378 shares of its common stock for a total cost of $10.0 million at an average price of $25.68 per share.

In November 2023, with written consent from Comerica Bank, Stratus’ Board approved a new share repurchase program, which authorizes repurchases of up to $5.0 million of Stratus’ common stock. The repurchase program authorizes Stratus, in management’s and the Capital Committee of the Board’s discretion, to repurchase shares from time to time, subject to market conditions and other factors.

Limited Partnerships

Limited Partnerships

LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS

Stratus has entered into strategic partnerships for certain development projects. Stratus, through its subsidiaries, is a partner in the following limited partnerships: The Saint George Apartments, L.P. (10.0 percent indirect equity interest), Stratus Block 150, L.P. (31.0 percent indirect equity interest), The Saint June, L.P. (34.13 percent indirect equity interest), Holden Hills, L.P. (50.0 percent indirect equity interest) and Stratus Kingwood Place, L.P. (60.0 percent indirect equity interest). For additional information regarding Stratus' partnerships, refer to Notes 2 and 4 in the Stratus 2022 Form 10-K.

Holden Hills, L.P. In first-quarter 2023, Holden Hills, L.P. (the Holden Hills partnership), a Texas limited partnership and subsidiary of Stratus, was formed for the development of Holden Hills, Stratus’ final large residential development within the Barton Creek community in Austin, Texas, consisting of 495 acres and designed to feature 475 unique residences (Holden Hills Project). The Holden Hills partnership is governed by a limited partnership agreement between a wholly owned subsidiary of Stratus as Class A limited partner and an unaffiliated equity investor as Class B limited partner, and another wholly owned subsidiary of Stratus which serves as general partner. The partners made the following initial capital contributions to the Holden Hills partnership: (i) Stratus contributed the Holden Hills land and related personal property at an agreed value of $70.0 million and (ii) The Class B limited partner contributed $40.0 million in cash. Immediately following the Class B limited partner's initial capital contribution, $30.0 million of cash was distributed by the Holden Hills partnership to Stratus. Further, the Holden Hills partnership reimbursed Stratus for certain initial project costs and closing costs of approximately $5.8 million.

As a result of these transactions, Stratus holds, indirectly through its wholly owned subsidiaries, a 50.0 percent equity interest in the Holden Hills partnership, and the Class B limited partner holds the remaining 50.0 percent equity interest in the Holden Hills partnership. Stratus’ potential returns on its equity investment in the Holden Hills partnership may increase above its relative equity interest as negotiated return hurdles are achieved. Refer to “Potential Returns” below for further discussion. Stratus consolidates the Holden Hills partnership; therefore, its contribution of the Holden Hills land and related personal property was recorded at historical cost and the contribution from the Class B limited partner was accounted for as a noncontrolling interest in subsidiary.

In addition to each partner’s initial capital contribution, upon the call of the general partner from time to time, Stratus is obligated to make capital contributions up to an additional $10.0 million, and the Class B limited partner is also obligated to make capital contributions up to an additional $10.0 million.

Stratus has the authority to manage the day-to-day operations of the Holden Hills partnership, subject to approval rights of the Class B limited partner for specified “major decisions,” including project and operating budgets, the business plan and amendments thereto; sales, leases or transfers of any portion of the Holden Hills Project to any partner, affiliate of any partner, or to any unaffiliated third party other than as contemplated in the business plan; incurring any debt, mortgage or guaranty; capital calls in excess of those previously agreed upon; admitting a new partner; and certain transfers of direct or indirect interests in the Holden Hills partnership. The business plan includes rights of first refusal in favor of the Class B limited partner for sale of luxury residence sites to be developed in distinct communities or “pods” to a third party. A “deadlock” may be declared by any partner if any limited partner does not approve any two major decisions proposed by the general partner within any 12-month period. Prior to the third anniversary of the effective date of the limited partnership agreement, a buy-sell provision can be triggered only if there is a deadlock. On or after the third anniversary, any partner can initiate a buy-sell at any time by written notice to the other partner, specifying the buyout price.

Stratus has entered into a development agreement with the Holden Hills partnership pursuant to which the Holden Hills partnership will construct certain street, drainage, water, sidewalk, electric and gas improvements in order to extend the Tecoma Circle roadway on Section N land owned by Stratus from its current terminus to Southwest Parkway, estimated to cost approximately $14.7 million (the Tecoma Improvements), and Stratus will reimburse the partnership for 60 percent of the costs. The Tecoma Improvements will enable access and provide utilities necessary for the development of both Holden Hills and Section N. As of September 30, 2023, Stratus had $9.2 million remaining to complete the Tecoma Improvements.

The Holden Hills partnership has agreed to pay Stratus a development management fee of 4.00 percent of certain construction costs for Phase I of the project, and an asset management fee of $150 thousand per year starting 15 months after construction starts on the project payable from available cash flow after debt service.

In first-quarter 2023, the Holden Hills partnership entered into a loan agreement with Comerica Bank to finance the development of Phase I of the project. Refer to Note 6 for discussion of the loan agreement.

Operating Loans to Partnerships. In April 2023, Stratus made an operating loan of $1.5 million to Stratus Block 150, L.P. to facilitate the partnership’s ability to pay ongoing costs of The Annie B project during the pre-construction period. In August 2023, Stratus made an additional advance of $800 thousand under the operating loan to Stratus Block 150, L.P. The loan bears interest at the one-month Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index (BSBY) Rate plus 5.00 percent, is subordinate to The Annie B land loan and must be repaid before distributions may be made to the partners.

In June 2023, Stratus made an operating loan of $750 thousand to The Saint June, L.P. to support the partnership’s ability to pay its construction loan interest, which has risen above the amount originally budgeted due to rising interest rates. In October 2023, Stratus made an additional advance of $250 thousand under the operating loan to The Saint June, L.P., and the Class B Limited Partner made a $250 thousand operating loan to The Saint June, L.P. The loans bear interest at the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 5.00 percent, is subordinate to The Saint June construction loan and must be repaid before distributions may be made to the partners.

Potential Returns. The following table presents the distribution percentages for the limited partnerships in which Stratus’ potential returns may increase above its relative equity interest if certain hurdles are achieved.

Accounting for Limited Partnerships. Stratus has performed evaluations and concluded that The Saint George Apartments, L.P., Stratus Block 150, L.P., The Saint June, L.P., Stratus Kingwood Place, L.P. and Holden Hills, L.P. are variable interest entities and that Stratus is the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the partnerships’ results are consolidated in Stratus’ financial statements. Stratus will continue to re-evaluate which entity is the primary beneficiary of these partnerships in accordance with applicable accounting guidance.

The cash and cash equivalents held at these limited partnerships are subject to restrictions on distribution to the parent company pursuant to the individual partnership loan agreements.

Stratus’ consolidated balance sheets include the following assets and liabilities of the partnerships, net of intercompany balances (including the operating loans made by Stratus), which are eliminated (in thousands):

ASSET SALES

Block 21 - Discontinued Operations. Block 21 was Stratus’ wholly owned mixed-use real estate property in downtown Austin, Texas containing the 251-room W Austin Hotel and Austin City Limits Live at the Moody Theater, a 2,750-seat entertainment venue, Class A office space, retail space and the 3TEN ACL Live entertainment venue. On May 31, 2022, Stratus completed the previously announced sale of Block 21 to Ryman Hospitality Properties, Inc. (Ryman) for $260.0 million, subject to certain purchase price adjustments, and including Ryman’s assumption of $136.2 million of existing mortgage debt, with the remainder paid in cash. A portion of the proceeds, $6.9 million, was escrowed and held in restricted cash at December 31, 2022. These proceeds were released from restriction in June 2023 and disbursed in full to Stratus and reclassified to the operating account. Stratus recorded a pre-tax gain on the sale of $119.7 million in second-quarter 2022.

In accordance with accounting guidance, Stratus reported the results of operations of Block 21 as discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for second-quarter 2022 and the first nine months of 2022 because the disposal represents a strategic shift that had a major effect on operations. Block 21 did not have any other comprehensive income and Stratus' consolidated statements of cash flows are reported on a combined basis without separately presenting discontinued operations.

Block 21’s results of operations in the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income consist of the following (in thousands):

b.In accordance with accounting guidance, depreciation is not recognized subsequent to classification as assets held for sale, which occurred in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Capital expenditures associated with discontinued operations totaled $213 thousand the first nine months of 2022.

The Oaks at Lakeway. In 2017, Stratus sold The Oaks at Lakeway to FHF I Oaks at Lakeway, LLC for $114.0 million in cash. The Oaks at Lakeway is an H-E-B, L.P.-anchored retail project located in Lakeway, Texas. The parties entered into three master lease agreements at closing: (1) one covering unleased in-line retail space, with a 5-year term (the In-line Master Lease), (2) one covering the hotel pad with a 99-year term (the Hotel Master Lease) and (3) one covering four unleased pad sites, three of which have 10-year terms, and one of which has a 15-year term (the Pad Site Master Lease).

The In-Line Master Lease expired in February 2022 and the Hotel Master Lease was terminated in November 2020. As such, Stratus has no further obligations under these two master leases. With respect to the Pad Site Master Lease, Stratus has leased the one pad site with a 15-year term, reducing the monthly rent payment net of rent collections for this pad site to approximately $2,500. Stratus may assign this lease to the purchaser and terminate the obligation under the Pad Site Master Lease for this pad site with a payment of $560 thousand to the purchaser. The lease for the remaining three unleased pad sites under the Pad Site Master Lease expires in February 2027. To the extent leases are executed for the remaining three unleased pad sites, tenants open for business, and the leases are then assigned to the purchaser, the master lease obligation could be reduced further.

In first-quarter 2022, Stratus reassessed its plans with respect to construction of the remaining buildings on the three remaining unleased pad sites and determined that, rather than execute leases and build the buildings, it is less costly to continue to pay the monthly rent (approximately $73 thousand per month) pursuant to the Pad Site Master Lease until the lease expires in February 2027. In connection with this determination, Stratus reversed an accrual of costs to lease and construct these buildings, resulting in recognition of an additional $4.8 million of pre-tax gain in first-quarter 2022. A contract liability is presented as a deferred gain in the consolidated balance sheets in the amount of $2.9 million at September 30, 2023 and $3.5 million at December 31, 2022. The reduction in the deferred gain balance primarily reflects Pad Site Master Lease payments. The remaining deferred gain balance is expected to be reduced primarily by future Pad Site Master Lease payments.

Kingwood Place Land. In fourth-quarter 2022, Stratus sold a multi-family tract of land at Kingwood Place for $5.5 million. In third-quarter 2022, Stratus recorded a $70 thousand impairment charge due to selling costs in excess of the previous estimate.

Amarra Villas. In third-quarter 2022, Stratus recorded a $650 thousand impairment charge related to one of the Amarra Villas homes that was sold in first-quarter 2023 for $2.5 million. The charge was due to estimated total project costs and costs of sale for the home under construction that exceeded its contractual sale price.

Profit Participation Plan [Abstract]

Profit Participation Incentive Plan

PROFIT PARTICIPATION INCENTIVE PLAN AND LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

In July 2018, the Compensation Committee adopted the PPIP. In February 2023, the Committee approved the LTIP, which amends and restates the PPIP, and is effective for participation interests awarded under development projects on or after its effective date. Outstanding participation interests granted under the PPIP will continue to be governed by the terms of the prior PPIP. The PPIP and LTIP provide participants with economic incentives tied to the success of the development projects designated by the Committee as approved projects under the PPIP and LTIP. Estimates related to the awards may change over time as a result of differences between projected and actual development progress and costs, market conditions and the timing of capital transactions or valuation events. Refer to Notes 1 and 8 of the Stratus 2022 Form 10-K for further discussion.

The sale of The Saint Mary in January 2021 was a capital transaction under the PPIP. During February 2022, $2.1 million was paid in cash to eligible participants.

In September 2021, Lantana Place reached a valuation event under the PPIP. The profit pool was $3.9 million, of which $0.2 million was paid in cash during February 2022 and the remaining $3.7 million was settled in RSUs with a three-year vesting period awarded to eligible participants during second-quarter 2022 following stockholder approval of Stratus’ new stock incentive plan.

The sale of The Santal in December 2021 was a capital transaction under the PPIP. The profit pool was $6.7 million, of which $5.0 million was paid in cash to eligible participants during February 2022. The PPIP contains limits on

cash compensation paid to certain officers and amounts due above the limits are converted to an equivalent number of RSUs with a one-year vesting period. Of the remaining amount, $1.6 million was settled in RSUs awarded to one participant during second-quarter 2022 following stockholder approval of Stratus’ new stock incentive plan.

During first-quarter 2022, the Compensation Committee designated The Saint June as an approved project under the PPIP, and awards of participation interests were granted in August 2022.

In July 2023, Kingwood Place reached a valuation event under the PPIP and Stratus obtained an appraisal of the property to determine the payout under the PPIP. The accrued liability under the PPIP related to Kingwood Place was reduced to $1.5 million at September 30, 2023, and is expected to be settled in RSUs with a three-year vesting period awarded to eligible participants in the first quarter of 2024.

In August 2023, the Compensation Committee designated The Saint George as an approved project under the LTIP and granted awards of participation interests to participants.

Under the terms of the PPIP and LTIP, the number of RSUs granted in connection with settlement of approved projects is determined by reference to the 12-month trailing average stock price for the year the project reaches a payment event, whereas the grant date fair value of the RSUs for accounting purposes is based on the grant date closing price. For the RSUs awarded in connection with Lantana Place and The Santal, the aggregate grant date value was $2.1 million greater than the accrued liability for the two projects as a result of this different valuation methodology. During second-quarter 2022, Stratus transferred the $5.3 million accrued liability balance under the PPIP for Lantana Place and The Santal that was settled in RSUs to capital in excess of par value and is amortizing the $2.1 million excess of the grant-date value over the former accrued liability with a charge to general and administrative expenses and a credit to capital in excess of par value over the three-year or one-year vesting periods of the related RSUs.

Fair Value Measurements	9 Months Ended
Fair Value Measurements	Sep. 30, 2023
Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Fair value accounting guidance includes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 inputs) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs). The carrying value for certain Stratus financial instruments (i.e., cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities) approximates fair value because of their short-term nature and generally negligible credit losses. The fair value of Stratus’ debt also approximates fair value, as the interest rates are variable and approximate prevailing market interest rates available for similar mortgage debt. Stratus' debt is recorded at cost and is not actively traded. Fair value is estimated based on discounted future expected cash flows at estimated current market interest rates available for similar mortgage debt. Accordingly, Stratus' debt is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of debt does not represent the amounts that will ultimately be paid upon the maturities of the loans.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for the fair value of financial instruments (as defined), including financial assets and financial liabilities (collectively, as defined), and the measurements of those instruments as well as disclosures related to the fair value of non-financial assets and liabilities. Such disclosures about the financial instruments, assets, and liabilities would include: (1) the fair value of the required items together with their carrying amounts (as appropriate); (2) for items for which it is not practicable to estimate fair value, disclosure would include: (a) information pertinent to estimating fair value (including, carrying amount, effective interest rate, and maturity, and (b) the reasons why it is not practicable to estimate fair value; (3) significant concentrations of credit risk including: (a) information about the activity, region, or economic characteristics identifying a concentration, (b) the maximum amount of loss the entity is exposed to based on the gross fair value of the related item, (c) policy for requiring collateral or other security and information as to accessing such collateral or security, and (d) the nature and brief description of such collateral or security; (4) quantitative information about market risks and how such risks are managed; (5) for items measured on both a recurring and nonrecurring basis information regarding the inputs used to develop the fair value measurement; and (6) for items presented in the financial statement for which fair value measurement is elected: (a) information necessary to understand the reasons for the election, (b) discussion of the effect of fair value changes on earnings, (c) a description of [similar groups] items for which the election is made and the relation thereof to the balance sheet, the aggregate carrying value of items included in the balance sheet that are not eligible for the election; (7) all other required (as defined) and desired information.
