Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Stratus Properties Inc. completed the sale of its Kingwood Place mixed-use project for $60.8 million in cash and extended its secured revolving credit facility with Comerica Bank to a new maturity date of March 27, 2028.

The Kingwood Place disposition generated pre-tax net cash proceeds of about $27.1 million, of which Stratus received roughly $16.2 million after establishing a reserve, while $10.6 million went to noncontrolling interest owners.

Insights

Real estate and capital structure analyst

Asset sales unlock cash, cut debt and lift equity for Stratus.

Stratus Properties closed the Kingwood Place sale for $60.8 million, yielding pre-tax net cash proceeds of about $27.1 million. Together with the earlier Lantana Place – Retail sale, these transactions materially reshape the balance sheet by converting stabilized assets into cash.

Pro forma figures show debt reduced from $203.9 million to $141.9 million, while total equity increases from $332.1 million to $374.0 million as of September 30, 2025. The filings also reflect sizeable gains, including roughly $27.5 million from Lantana Place and an estimated $13.7 million pre-tax gain from Kingwood Place.

Extending the revolving credit facility maturity to March 27, 2028 helps maintain liquidity access after these dispositions. Future company filings will show how the freed-up capital is redeployed and how earnings evolve without the sold retail properties.

Pre-tax net cash proceeds were approximately $27.1 million, after selling costs and payment of the project loan. After establishing a reserve for remaining costs of the partnership, Stratus received a cash distribution of approximately $16.2 million from the partnership in connection with the sale and $10.6 million of the net proceeds were distributed to the noncontrolling interest owners.

FAQ

What did Stratus Properties Inc. (STRS) sell Kingwood Place for?

Stratus sold Kingwood Place for $60.8 million in cash. After paying the project loan, selling costs and other adjustments, the transaction produced approximately $27.1 million in pre-tax net cash proceeds, shared between Stratus and noncontrolling interest owners.

How much cash did Stratus Properties (STRS) receive from the Kingwood Place sale?

Stratus received a cash distribution of about $16.2 million from the Kingwood Place partnership. Total pre-tax net cash proceeds were roughly $27.1 million, with $10.6 million distributed to noncontrolling interest owners after setting a reserve for remaining partnership costs.

How do the Lantana Place – Retail and Kingwood Place sales affect Stratus’ balance sheet?

Pro forma for both dispositions, Stratus’ debt decreases from $203.9 million to $141.9 million, while total equity increases from $332.1 million to $374.0 million as of September 30, 2025, highlighting substantial deleveraging and gains recognized from the property sales.

What change was made to Stratus Properties’ revolving credit facility?

Stratus and its subsidiaries entered a Tenth Modification Agreement with Comerica Bank, extending the maturity of their secured revolving credit facility to March 27, 2028. As of January 30, 2026, the borrowing base limit was $27.4 million with $17.4 million available.

What were the net cash proceeds from the Lantana Place – Retail disposition for STRS?

The Lantana Place – Retail disposition generated pre-tax net cash proceeds of $26.9 million after paying the project loan and selling costs. Pro forma adjustments show these proceeds, alongside Kingwood Place proceeds, being used in part to fully repay the related project debt.

How did the Kingwood Place sale impact Stratus’ 2024 pro forma earnings?

Pro forma 2024 results include an estimated pre-tax gain of about $13.7 million from the Kingwood Place disposition, net of noncontrolling interests. Combined with a roughly $27.5 million gain from Lantana Place – Retail, this turns a small historical loss into meaningful pro forma net income.
