Leasing Operations
+Added: COVID-19 Pandemic Impact
+Added: The pandemic is negatively affecting our leasing operations, primarily at our retail properties.
+Added: Tenants at our retail locations are diverse and include grocery and liquor stores, which have remained open and have paid rent owed to-date, and restaurants, healthcare services, fitness centers, a movie house and other retail products and services, many of which have been closed or operating at significantly reduced capacity beginning late in the first quarter of 2020 and continuing during the second quarter of 2020.
+Added: Beginning in April 2020, Stratus agreed, generally, to 90-day base rent deferrals with a majority of these tenants.
+Added: The deferred rent will be amortized over a 12-month or 24-month period starting in January 2021.
+Added: These rent deferrals have resulted in a reduction of scheduled base rent collections of approximately 30 percent for the second quarter through June 22, 2020.
+Added: As of mid-June, most of our retail tenants have reopened.
+Added: At our multi-family properties, we have granted rent deferral accommodations on a case-by-case basis, which as of June 22, 2020, had resulted in a reduction of scheduled rent collections of approximately two percent of contractual rents, with no material decline in occupancy.
+Added: We will continue to consider rent deferral accommodations on a case-by-case basis.
+Added: In the aggregate, our second-quarter retail and multi-family rent collections are 15 percent less than scheduled rent as of June 22, 2020.
+Added: As a result of these rent deferral arrangements, and as a result of some other tenants not paying rent, our rental collections in our leasing segment are expected to decline significantly for the second quarter of 2020 and into the third quarter of 2020.
+Added: We cannot assure you that our tenants will recommence rental payments in accordance with our agreements when the deferral period ends nor whether tenants will request additional accommodations or be willing or able to meet future lease obligations.

+Added: For example, while our hotel has remained open throughout the pandemic, average occupancy for the second quarter through June 21, 2020, was 12 percent, with June having the highest occupancy in the second quarter, averaging 24 percent.

+Added: We are working with the hotel operator on plans to gradually ramp up hotel operations over the next 12 months, health and market conditions permitting.
+Added: The pandemic is expected to continue to negatively affect our hotel business, and the extent to which such adverse impacts continue depends on numerous evolving factors that we cannot predict.
+Added: Moreover, even as travel advisories and restrictions are lifted, travel demand may remain weak for a significant length of time and attractions and events that previously brought visitors to the city of Austin may not proceed or may proceed with limited capacity.
