Development Management Agreement with the Great Park Venture (Incentive Compensation Contract Asset)
In 2010, the Great Park Venture, the Company’s equity method investee, engaged the Management Company under a development management agreement to provide management services to the Great Park Venture. The compensation structure in place as per the A&R DMA consists of a base fee and incentive compensation. The base fee consists of a fixed annual fee and a variable fee equal to general and administrative costs incurred by the Management Company on behalf of the Great Park Venture. Incentive compensation is characterized as “Legacy Incentive Compensation” and “Non-Legacy Incentive Compensation.” The Legacy Incentive Compensation consists of the following: (i) $15.2 million, which was received by the Management Company on May 2, 2016; (ii) $43.1 million received by the Management Company on January 3, 2017; and (iii) a maximum of $9.0 million of incentive compensation payments attributed to contingent payments made under a cash flow participation agreement the Great Park Venture is a party to. Generally, the Non-Legacy Incentive Compensation is 9% of distributions made by the Great Park Venture, as defined in the A&R DMA, excluding the distributions to the holders of Legacy Interests of $565.0 million (see Note 4).
For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized revenue from management services of $36.9 million, $35.1 million and $16.2 million, respectively, related to all management fees under the A&R DMA and such revenues are included in management services—related party in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, included in contract assets in the table above is $66.1 million and $47.7 million, respectively, attributed to Legacy and Non-Legacy Incentive Compensation. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had a receivable from the Great Park Venture of $3.6 million and $3.0 million, respectively, related to cost reimbursements under the A&R DMA. The receivable amounts are included in other related party assets in the table above. The current term of the A&R DMA ends in December 2021 and provides for term extensions at the mutual agreement of terms and provisions by both the Company and the Great Park Venture.
Operating Lease Right-of-Use Asset and Operating Lease Liability
The Company leases corporate office space at the Five Point Gateway Campus. Upon adoption of ASC Topic 842, Leases (see Note 2 and Note 12), the Company recognized an operating lease right-of-use asset and operating lease liability pertaining to this related party lease. Existing prepaid rent of $6.0 million was reclassified to be included in the measurement of the operating lease right-of-use asset on January 1, 2019.

Indirect Legacy Interest in Great Park Venture
In June 2018, the Company purchased an indirect interest in rights to certain Legacy Interests in the Great Park Venture through an equity method investment that were held by the Company’s CEO, Emile Haddad. At both December 31, 2019 and 2018, the carrying value of the purchased interests was $1.8 million and is included in other related party assets in the table above.
Retail Project and Contingent Consideration to Class A Members of the San Francisco Venture
Prior to the Company’s acquisition of The San Francisco Venture, The San Francisco Venture completed a separation transaction (the “Separation Transaction”) pursuant to an Amended and Restated Separation and Distribution Agreement (“Separation Agreement”) in which the equity interests in a subsidiary of the San Francisco Venture known as CPHP Development, LLC (“CPHP”) were distributed directly to the members of the San Francisco Venture: (i) an affiliate of Lennar and (ii) an affiliate of Castlelake. The principal terms of the Separation Agreement, as it relates to the Retail Project (defined below) included the following:
• Once a final subdivision map was recorded, title to a parking structure parcel at Candlestick (“CP Parking Parcel”) was to be conveyed to CPHP, and CPHP was to assume the obligation to construct the parking structure and certain other improvements at Candlestick;
• CPHP was transferred the membership interest in Candlestick Retail Member, LLC, (“Mall Venture Member”), the entity that had entered into a joint venture (“Mall Venture”) with CAM Candlestick LLC (the “Macerich Member”) to build a fashion outlet retail shopping center (“Retail Project”) above and adjacent to the parking structure that CPHP was to construct on the CP Parking Parcel; and
• Once a final subdivision map was recorded, the San Francisco Venture was to convey to the Mall Venture the property on which the Retail Project was to be built (the “Retail Project Property”).
Under the terms of the Separation Agreement, the San Francisco Venture retained the obligation to subdivide and convey the Retail Project Property to the Mall Venture and the CP Parking Parcel to CPHP. The obligation to convey the parcels represented additional consideration to the former owners of the San Francisco Venture and was recognized as contingent consideration.
In early 2019, after discussions between the Company, CPHP and the Macerich Member, the parties determined not to proceed with the Retail Project. As a result of terminating the Retail Project and agreements related thereto, the obligation of the San Francisco Venture to convey the CP Parking Parcel and the Retail Project Property was terminated, and the San Francisco Venture was also released from certain development obligations, which resulted in a gain of $64.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Reimbursement Obligation
The San Francisco Venture has entered into reimbursement agreements for which it has agreed to reimburse CPHP or its subsidiaries for a portion of the EB-5 loan liabilities and related interest that were assumed by CPHP or its subsidiaries pursuant to the Separation Agreement. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the balance of the reimbursement obligation to CPHP or its subsidiaries was $102.4 million and $102.7 million, respectively. Interest is paid monthly and totaled $4.2 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017. All of the incurred interest for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 was capitalized into inventories as interest on development and construction costs. The weighted average interest rate as of December 31, 2019 was 4.1%. Subject to certain extension, principal payments of $95.0 million, $4.2 million and $3.2 million are expected to be due in 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively.
Payables to Holders of Management Company’s Class B Interests
Holders of the Management Company’s Class B interests are entitled to receive all distributions from the Management Company that are attributable to any Legacy Incentive Compensation received by the Management Company. The Management Company made a $43.1 million payment to the holders of Class B interests of the Management Company in January 2017 in connection with the Management Company’s January 2017 collection of Legacy Incentive Compensation in the same amount. No payments were made during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

The agreements generally consist of a fixed management fee and in some cases a variable fee equal to general and administrative costs incurred by the Company. In most cases the management agreements terminate upon project development milestones. For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized revenue from these management services of $2.4 million, $4.4 million and $5.8 million, respectively. Revenues related to management fees under the San Francisco Bay area development management agreements are included in management services—related party in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Gateway Commercial Venture Property Management Agreement
The Company has entered into a property management agreement with Gateway Commercial Venture in which the Company will provide certain property management services to the Five Point Gateway Campus. The agreement consists of a base management fee, calculated as the greater of a determined fixed value or percentage of gross rent, plus additional fees, when applicable, pertaining to management of tenant improvements and securing tenants. For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, the Company recognized revenue from these management services of $0.3 million, $1.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively, which is included in management services—related party in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
Valencia Purchase and Sale Agreements
The Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement with a land banking entity during the year ended December 31, 2019 for the sale of 711 homesites on approximately 59 acres. Initial gross proceeds were $135.2 million, representing the base purchase price, and the Company also recognized $4.7 million in the transaction price as an estimate of the amount of variable consideration from marketing fees that the Company expects to be entitled to receive. A related party of the Company has retained the option to acquire these homesites in the future from the land banking entity.
Candlestick Purchase and Sale Agreements
The San Francisco Venture has entered into purchase and sale agreements with an affiliate of Lennar and Castlelake to sell homesites at Candlestick including one agreement for 3.6 acres of land where up to 390 for-sale homesites are planned to be built and one agreement for land that includes additional airspace parcels above the planned Retail Project where multi-family homesites were planned to be built. The Company was required to complete certain conditions prior to the close of escrow of the sale of the airspace parcels above the planned Retail Project, including recording the subdivision of the land and airspace parcels into separate legal parcels. The San Francisco Venture closed escrow on the for-sale homesites in January 2017 resulting in gross proceeds of $91.4 million. In connection with the termination of the Retail Project in early 2019 described above, the purchase and sale agreement for the planned multi-family homesites was terminated.
Entitlement Transfer Agreement
In December 2016, the San Francisco Venture entered into an agreement with an affiliate of Lennar and Castlelake pursuant to which an affiliate of Lennar and Castlelake agreed to transfer to the San Francisco Venture entitlements for the right to construct (1) at least 172 homesites (or, if greater, the number of entitled homesites that are not developed or to be developed by or on behalf of the Successor to the Redevelopment Agency of the City and County of San Francisco (the “San Francisco Agency”) or by residential developers on the land transferred to CPHP) and (2) at least 70,000 square feet of retail space (or, if greater, the amount of entitled retail space that is not developed or to be developed by or on behalf of the San Francisco Agency or by commercial developers on the land transferred to CPHP) for use in the development of other portions of Candlestick and The San Francisco Shipyard. The Company successfully received the necessary government approvals to effectuate the transfer of the entitlements in 2018, relinquished its rights to certain variable consideration related to Candlestick purchase and sale agreements, and received the additional entitlements (see Note 3).
