In February 2026, the Company entered into a lease of 100% of the Tin Building with contemporary art experience creator, Lux Entertainment, to open their U.S. flagship location of the Balloon Museum. In connection with the Balloon Museum lease and the commencement of the Company’s landlord obligations, the Tin Building by Jean-Georges ceased operations in February 2026.
Seasonality
Our operations are highly seasonal and are significantly impacted by weather conditions. Concerts at our outdoor venue and Aviators baseball games primarily occur from May through October, and we typically see increased customer traffic at our restaurants during the summer months when the weather is generally warmer and more favorable, which contributes to higher revenue during these periods. However, weather-related disruptions, such as floods and heavy rains, can negatively impact our summer operations. For instance, outdoor concerts may have to be cancelled or rescheduled due to inclement weather, which can result in lost revenue. Similarly, floods can lead to temporary closures of our restaurants and can disrupt our supply chain, leading to potential revenue losses and increased costs.
During the fall and winter months, our operations tend to slow down due to the colder weather, which results in fewer outdoor events and less foot traffic at our restaurants, and the end of the Aviators baseball season. This seasonality pattern results in lower revenues during these periods. Moreover, severe winter weather conditions, such as snowstorms and freezing temperatures, can further deter customers from visiting our restaurants, further impacting our revenues and cash flow. Our seasonality also results in fluctuations in cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, deferred expenses, and accounts payable and other liabilities at different times during the year.
Lease Renewals and Occupancy
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the weighted average remaining term of our retail, office, and other properties leases where we are the lessor was approximately seven years, excluding renewal options. The stability of the rental revenue generated by our properties depends principally on our tenants’ ability to pay rent and our ability to collect rents, renew expiring leases, re-lease space upon the expiration or other termination of leases, lease currently vacant properties, and maintain or increase rental rates at our leased properties. To the extent our properties become vacant, we would forego rental income while remaining responsible for the payment of property taxes and maintaining the property until it is re-leased, which could negatively impact our operating results. As of March 31, 2026, our real estate assets at the Seaport were 88% leased or programmed.
Inflationary Pressures and Other Macroeconomic Trends
Financial results across all our segments may be impacted by inflation. In Landlord Operations, certain of our leases contain rent escalators that increase rent at a fixed amount and may not be sufficient during periods of high inflation. For properties leased to third-party tenants, the impact of inflation on our property and operating expenses is limited as substantially all our leases are net leases, and property-level expenses are generally reimbursed by our tenants. Inflation and increased costs may also have an adverse impact on our tenants and their creditworthiness if the increase in property-level expenses is greater than their increase in revenues. For unleased properties and properties occupied by our restaurants, we are more exposed to inflationary pressures on property and operating expenses. For our Hospitality and Entertainment segments, inflationary pressure has a direct impact on our profitability due to increases in our costs, as well as potential reductions in customers that could negatively impact revenue. Although certain indicators have suggested that inflation has made downward progress, the economy continues to be impacted by elevated inflation rates and faces further inflation risk.
Other adverse economic conditions, including slower economic growth and the potential for a recession, could also have an adverse effect on us, our tenants and consumers. For example, geopolitical conflict, rapid changes in U.S. trade policy, new or increased tariffs, retaliatory tariffs and global trade disruptions could negatively impact us or our tenants, including by further aggravating inflation, increasing costs, disrupting supply chains and negatively affecting consumer sentiment and spending.
