Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segments

18. Segments

The Company has four business segments that offer different products and services. HHC’s four segments are managed separately because each requires different operating strategies or management expertise and are reflective of management’s operating philosophies and methods. As further discussed in Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, one common operating measure used to assess operating results for the Company’s business segments is earnings before taxes (EBT). The Company’s segments or assets within such segments could change in the future as development of certain properties commences or other operational or management changes occur. All operations are within the United States. The Company’s reportable segments are as follows:

–Operating Assets – consists of developed or acquired retail, office and multi-family properties along with other real estate investments. These properties are currently generating revenues and may be redeveloped, repositioned or sold to improve segment performance or to recycle capital. This segment also included hospitality properties prior to the sale of The Woodlands Resort, The Westin at The Woodlands and Embassy Suites at Hughes Landing in the third quarter of 2021. Refer to Note 3 - Acquisitions and Dispositions for additional information.

–MPC – consists of the development and sale of land in large‑scale, long‑term community development projects in and around Las Vegas, Nevada; Houston, Texas; Phoenix, Arizona; and Columbia, Maryland.

–Seaport – consists of approximately 461,000 square feet of restaurant, retail and entertainment properties situated in three primary locations in New York, New York: Pier 17, Historic Area/Uplands and Tin Building as well as the 250 Water Street parking lot. While the Tin Building is still under development and will comprise about 53,783 square feet when completed, the two operating locations consist of third-party tenants, tenants either directly or jointly owned and operated by the Company and businesses owned and operated by the Company under licensing agreements.

–Strategic Developments – consists of residential condominium and commercial property projects currently under development and all other properties held for development which have no substantial operations.
