3. Acquisitions and Dispositions

Acquisitions In May 2023, the Company acquired the Grogan’s Mill Village Center and related anchor site, a retail property in The Woodlands, Texas consisting of approximately 8.7 acres for $5.9 million in an asset acquisition. The property is being held in the Strategic Developments segment.

In March 2022, the Company acquired a 25% interest in Jean-Georges Restaurants for $45.0 million and paid $10.0 million for the option to acquire up to an additional 20% interest in Jean-Georges Restaurants through March 2026. Jean-Georges Restaurants currently has over 40 hospitality offerings and a pipeline of new concepts. See Note 2 - Investments in Unconsolidated Ventures for additional information.

Teravalis In October 2021, the Company acquired Teravalis, a new large-scale master planned community in the West Valley of Phoenix, Arizona. The Company closed on the all-cash purchase of approximately 33,810 acres (Teravalis Property) for a purchase price of $541.0 million. The executed purchase and sale agreement included a repurchase option that allowed the seller, or permitted assignee, to repurchase up to 50% interest in the Teravalis Property within a set term. In June 2022, the seller’s assignee, JDM Member, exercised a minimum purchase option and purchased a 9.24% interest in the Teravalis Property for $50.0 million. Additionally, in August 2022, JDM Member purchased an additional 2.78% interest in the Teravalis Property for $15.0 million, after which the remaining repurchase option expired.

Following the execution of the minimum purchase option, the Company entered into a Limited Liability Company Agreement (LLC Agreement) with JDM Member to form Douglas Ranch Development Holding Company (Teravalis). The Company and JDM Member then contributed their interests in the Teravalis Property to Teravalis in exchange for an equity interest. At December 31, 2023, the Company holds 88.0% of the Teravalis interests, and JDM Member holds the remaining 12.0%. Teravalis was determined to be a VIE, and as the Company has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact its economic performance, the Company is considered the primary beneficiary and continues to consolidate Teravalis.

Under the terms of the LLC agreement, cash distributions and the recognition of income-producing activities will be pro rata based on economic ownership interest. As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets include $541.6 million of Master Planned Community assets, $0.6 million of Accounts Payable and other liabilities, and $65.0 million of Noncontrolling interest related to Teravalis.

Floreo Simultaneous with the Teravalis land acquisition, the Company closed on the acquisition of a 50% interest in Trillium Development Holding Company, LLC (Floreo), for $59.0 million. Floreo owns approximately 3,029 acres of land which will be the first village developed within the Teravalis community in the greater Phoenix, Arizona area.
