For these investments, the Company recognizes income or loss based on the venture’s distribution priorities, which could fluctuate over time and may be different from its stated ownership or final profit-sharing interest.
(d)Floreo is a VIE that was previously accounted for under the equity method. On July 26, 2026, a reconsideration event occurred, and as a result, the Company concluded that it was the primary beneficiary, and Floreo was prospectively consolidated on July 26, 2026. Prior to consolidation, the Company’s previously held equity method investment in Floreo was remeasured to its fair value as of the acquisition date, resulting in the recognition of a $19.4 million loss in Equity in earnings (losses) from unconsolidated ventures. Refer to Note 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements and Significant Accounting Policies for the required consolidated VIE disclosures. Refer to Note 10 - Acquisitions and Dispositions of Real Estate Assets for additional information related to the initial consolidation of Floreo.

(f)Other investments represent investments not accounted for under the equity method. There were no impairments, or upward or downward adjustments to the carrying amounts of these securities either during current year or cumulatively.

The Summit In 2015, the Company formed DLV/HHPI Summerlin, LLC (The Summit) with Discovery to develop a custom home community in Summerlin. The Company contributed land for Phase I in 2015 and initially received distributions and recognized its share of income or loss based on the joint venture’s distribution priorities. The Company has now received all of its preferred return distributions, and recognizes its share of income or loss for Phase I based on its final profit-sharing interest.

In 2022, the Company contributed an additional 54 acres to The Summit (Phase II land). The Phase II land is adjacent to the existing Summit development and includes approximately 28 custom home sites. The first lot sales closed in the first quarter of 2023. The Company recognizes its share of income or loss for Phase II based on the joint venture’s distribution priorities in the amended Summit LLC agreement, which could fluctuate over time. Upon receipt of the Company’s preferred returns, distributions and recognition of income or loss will be allocated to the Company based on its final profit-sharing interest.

Aspect In March 2026, the Company formed FP Aspect Holdings, LLC (Aspect) with Foulger-Pratt Development, LLC (Foulger-Pratt). Upon formation, the Company contributed $13.6 million in exchange for an 85% interest in Aspect and Foulger-Pratt contributed $2.4 million in exchange for a 15% interest. Per the LLC Agreement, Foulger-Pratt is the managing member. Aspect is classified as a VIE, however, despite the Company’s significant economic ownership, it does not have the ability to control the activities that most impact the economic performance of the venture, and as such is not the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the Company does not consolidate Aspect and accounts for its ownership interest under the equity method. As of September 30, 2026, the Company’s maximum exposure to loss on this investment is limited to the $13.8 million aggregate carrying value as the Company has not made any other firm commitments to fund amounts on behalf of this VIE. Aspect was created to hold a 20% ownership interest in Aspect Alexandria QOZB, LLC (Aspect Lower Tier JV). In the first quarter of 2026, Aspect Lower Tier JV purchased four acres of land from West End Alexandria, as discussed below, and will utilize the land to develop a multifamily property within the West End Alexandria area. Aspect Lower Tier JV commenced construction on the multifamily property in March 2026.

West End Alexandria In 2021, the Company entered into an Asset Contribution Agreement with Landmark Land Holdings, LLC (West End Alexandria) to redevelop a site previously known as Landmark Mall into a cohesive neighborhood with residential, retail and commercial properties. Other equity owners include Foulger-Pratt and Seritage SRC Finance. In exchange for equity interests in West End Alexandria, the Company conveyed its Landmark Mall property, Seritage conveyed additional land, and Foulger-Pratt contributed cash consideration. The Company does not have the ability to control the activities that most impact the economic performance of the venture as Foulger-Pratt is the managing member and manages all development activities. As such, the Company accounts for its ownership interest in accordance with the equity method.

West End Alexandria was formed to complete demolition and horizontal infrastructure development work and then sell land parcels to other joint ventures or third parties for subsequent development. Foulger-Pratt manages construction of the development. Demolition was completed in 2023, and infrastructure work was completed in 2026. During the first quarter of 2026, West End Alexandria recognized a loss on sale of four acres of land to Aspect Lower Tier JV, which as mentioned above, will utilize the land to develop a multifamily property. During the third quarter of 2026, West End Alexandria recognized a gain on the sale of 4.6 acres of land to a third party to develop townhomes. The Company recognized equity earnings of $13.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2026, and $8.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, primarily related to its share of these transactions.

Gateway A10 Holdings In September 2026, the Company contributed a 14.7-acre parcel of land in Columbia to its Gateway A10 Holdings joint venture with SCG Realty Company LLC to develop a build-to-suit warehouse that will be leased by Saval Foods, LLC. The Company contributed the land at a fair value of $10.0 million and received a $1.1 million special distribution, retaining a 50% interest valued at $8.9 million. After derecognizing the land’s carrying amount of $3.8 million, the Company recognized a gain of $6.2 million in Gain on sale or disposal of real estate and other assets, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Gateway A10 Holdings obtained a construction loan of up to $41.7 million to fund the development, with no borrowings outstanding as of September 30, 2026. The remainder of the development cost is expected to be funded by SCG Realty Company LLC.

Gateway A10 Holdings was determined to be a VIE, however, the Company is not the primary beneficiary as it does not have the ability to control the activities that most impact the economic performance of the venture. Accordingly, the Company does not consolidate Gateway A10 Holdings and accounts for its ownership interest under the equity method. As of September 30, 2026, the Company’s maximum exposure to loss includes the $8.9 million carrying value of its investment.
