Includes the results of Stratus' two office buildings at 7500 Rialto Boulevard (including a first-quarter 2012 gain on sale of $5.1 million, $0.67 per share), which Stratus sold in February 2012.




AUSTIN, TX, November 14, 2012 - Stratus Properties Inc. (NASDAQ: STRS) reported net income attributable to common stock of $0.3 million, $0.04 per share, for third-quarter 2012, compared with a net loss of $3.6 million, $0.48 per share, for third-quarter 2011. For the first nine months of 2012, Stratus reported a net loss attributable to common stock of $1.5 million, $0.19 per share, compared with a net loss of $6.1 million, $0.82 per share for the first nine months of 2011. Results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2012 include a profit of $4.3 million associated with the sale of eight undeveloped tracts at Lantana and the first nine months of 2012 also include a gain of $5.1 million related to the sale of the two office buildings at 7500 Rialto Boulevard.

William H. Armstrong III, Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President of Stratus, stated, “The Austin real estate market continues to show signs of significant improvement and we are optimistic about the future of our real estate assets. Sales of our Barton Creek lots have been strong, with year-to-date closed or pending sales for 25 lots compared with 15 lots/homes sold during all of 2008 through 2011. In addition, during the third quarter we sold eight Lantana tracts for $15.8 million. The W Austin Hotel & Residences project continues to perform very well, with approximately 70 percent of our residences sold to date and hotel operations continuing to reflect strong occupancy and room rates. Austin City Limits Live continues to build on its reputation as a premier choice for music industry events. We expect a positive impact in the fourth quarter from the Austin City Limits Music Festival and upcoming Formula One race. The project's retail space is expected to be fully leased by year end 2012 and the office space is expected to be fully leased by early next year. Our Parkside Village project, now 88 percent leased, has also been well-received by the community, with construction expected to be completed in the first half of 2013.”

W Austin Hotel & Residences Project. Stratus completed development of the W Austin Hotel & Residences in downtown Austin,Texas through a joint venture with Canyon-Johnson Urban Fund II, L.P., at a cost of approximately $300 million. Delivery of condominium units commenced in January 2011 and continues. As of October 31, 2012, sales of 112 of the 159 condominium units had closed for $119.0 million and 6 of the remaining 47 units were under contract.

The 251-room hotel, which Stratus believes sets the standard for contemporary luxury in downtown Austin, opened in December 2010 and is managed by Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. Revenue per available room at the W Austin Hotel was $198 during third-quarter 2012 and $220 for the first nine months of 2012, compared with $165 during third-quarter 2011 and $181 for the first nine months of 2011.

The project also includes Austin City Limits Live at the Moody Theater (ACL Live), a live music and entertainment venue and production studio with a maximum capacity of approximately 3,000 people. In addition to hosting concerts and private events, the venue is the home of Austin City Limits, a television program showcasing popular music legends. ACL Live opened in February 2011, has hosted 139 events during the first nine months of 2012, and currently has booked events through February 2013. ACL Live operating income totaled $0.3 million before depreciation of $0.3 million for third-quarter 2012 and $1.5 million before depreciation of $1.0 million for the first nine months of 2012, compared with operating losses of $0.2 million before depreciation of $0.3 million for third-quarter 2011 and $0.4 million before depreciation of $0.8 million for the first nine months of 2011.

The project has 37,551 square feet of leasable office space, of which 17,500 square feet has been leased since March 2011, including 9,000 square feet for Stratus' corporate office. The project also includes approximately 18,362 square feet of leasable retail space, of which 14,500 square feet has been leased since August 2011, including 10,000 square feet for Urban Outfitters. Leasing activities for the remaining office and retail space are ongoing.

Parkside Village Project. In May 2011, Stratus, through its joint venture Tract 107, L.L.C., secured a $13.7 million construction loan to finance the development of Parkside Village, a 90,641-square-foot retail project under development in the Circle C community in southwest Austin. The project consists of a 33,650-square-foot full-service movie theater and restaurant, a 13,890-square-foot medical clinic and five other retail buildings, including a 14,926-square-foot building, a 10,175-square-foot building, two 7,500-square-foot buildings and a stand-alone 5,000-square-foot building. Construction activities at Parkside Village continue on schedule, and are expected to be completed in fourth-quarter 2012. As of September 30, 2012, occupancy at Parkside Village was 73 percent, with leases for an additional 15 percent signed as of October 31, 2012.

Discontinued Operations. On February 27, 2012, Stratus sold its two office buildings at 7500 Rialto Boulevard (7500 Rialto) to Lincoln Properties and Greenfield Partners (Lincoln Properties) for $27.0 million. Lincoln Properties paid $6.7 million in cash ($5.7 million net to Stratus after closing and other costs) and assumed Stratus' outstanding nonrecourse debt (the Lantana Promissory Note) of $20.3 million secured by the property. Stratus is providing a limited guaranty of debt service and other obligations on the Lantana Promissory Note up to $5.0 million, which will be reduced to $2.5 million on May 1, 2016, until January 1, 2018 (the maturity date for the Lantana Promissory Note). Stratus does not currently expect that it will be required to perform under the guaranty. Stratus recognized $5.1 million of its $10.1 million gain on the sale in first-quarter 2012 and expects the balance to be recognized as its obligations under the limited guaranty are relieved. As required by applicable accounting rules, Stratus' financial statements reflect the results of operations of 7500 Rialto separately as discontinued operations.

Lantana. Stratus acquired the Lantana project, which consisted of approximately 738 acres, in January 1994 for an initial purchase price of $4.1 million. Since that initial acquisition, and including the recent sale on August 20, 2012, Stratus has sold properties at Lantana with an aggregate sales price of approximately $100 million and with an aggregate cost of sale of approximately $46.1 million. Those historical sales include the following:

In December 1994, 141 acres of undeveloped land with limited entitlements sold for $1.55 million;
In December 1994, 4 acres of undeveloped land with limited entitlements sold for $215,000;
In August 1995, a 55 acre undeveloped multi-family site sold for $2.3 million;
In December 2000, a 36 acre undeveloped multi-family site sold for $5 million;
In August 2003, a 144 acre undeveloped single family tract sold for $4.62 million;
In March 2006, an 11 acre office tract improved with two office buildings totaling 140,000 square
feet sold for $22.3 million;
In April 2006, a 59 acre unimproved office tract with entitlements for 1,075,000 square feet of
office space sold for $21.25 million;
In February 2012, 7500 Rialto Office Park, a 29 acre parcel improved with two office buildings
totaling 150,000 square feet sold for $27 million; and
In August 2012, 154 acres with entitlements for 1,131,200 square feet of office space sold for$15.8 million.

Stratus' remaining holdings at its Lantana development project consist of three undeveloped commercial
tracts of land, totaling approximately 60 acres, which have entitlements for approximately 325,000 square
feet of retail space and 230,000 square feet of office space. Of these three retained tracts, one tract with
entitlements for 70,000 square feet of office space is under contract; a second tract with entitlements for
325,000 square feet of retail space is being site planned by Stratus for a mixed use development project;

3



and the third tract with entitlements for 160,000 square feet of office space is being held for future
development or sale. The final 45 acres of the original project were used for streets, infrastructure and
public uses.

Loan Modifications. In September 2012, Stratus entered into modification agreements for its American Strategic Income Portfolio (ASIP) unsecured term loans whereby two loans totaling $9 million were repaid and the maturity dates of the remaining five loans were extended; four loans totaling $15.0 million mature in 2015 and one $8.0 million loan matures in 2016. In addition, the interest rate of the term loans was reduced from 8.75 percent per annum to 7.25 percent per annum.

Financial Results. Stratus is continuing its high-priority development activities and is focused on maximizing long-term property values. Stratus' developed property sales included the following (dollars in thousands):

The increase in developed units/lots sales in third-quarter 2012 primarily resulted from an increase in lot sales at Barton Creek. The decrease in developed property sales revenues in the first nine months of 2012 primarily resulted from fewer sales of condominium units at the W Austin Hotel & Residences project because the sales for the first nine months of 2011 included presales from prior years that closed and were delivered as the units were completed during 2011. In addition, the inventory of condominium units has declined because of sales, leaving a remaining inventory of 47 units at October 31, 2012. The decrease in condominium unit sales in the first nine months of 2012 was partly offset by an increase in lot sales at Barton Creek.

During third-quarter 2012, Stratus sold eight undeveloped commercial tracts of land at Lantana for $15.8 million in cash. During third-quarter 2011, Stratus sold a 28-acre tract of undeveloped land at Circle C for $2.0 million.

Revenue from the hotel segment totaled $7.6 million in third-quarter 2012 and $25.3 million for the first nine months of 2012, compared with $6.0 million for third-quarter 2011 and $20.5 million for the first nine months of 2011. Hotel revenues reflect revenues for the W Austin Hotel and primarily include revenues from room reservations and food and beverage sales. The increase in hotel revenues primarily reflects higher average occupancy and room rates in the 2012 periods, compared with the 2011 periods.

Revenue from the entertainment venue segment totaled $3.2 million in third-quarter 2012 and $9.3 million for the first nine months of 2012, compared with $2.4 million for third-quarter 2011 and $6.3 million for the first nine months of 2011. Entertainment venue revenues include revenues for ACL Live, which opened in February 2011 and primarily includes ticket sales; sponsorships, personal seat license sales and suite sales; and sales of concessions and merchandise. The increase in entertainment venue revenues primarily reflects an increase in sponsorship revenue and ancillary revenue per attendee. The the first nine months of 2012 also reflected higher revenues associated with an increase in the number of events hosted.

Rental revenue from the commercial leasing segment, which excludes the results of 7500 Rialto, totaled $1.3 million for third-quarter 2012 and $3.6 million for the first nine months of 2012, compared with $0.7 million for third-quarter 2011 and $1.8 million for the first nine months of 2011. Rental revenue primarily reflects revenue from the office and retail space at Parkside Village, the W Austin Hotel & Residences project, 5700 Slaughter and Barton Creek Village. The increase in rental revenue in the 2012 periods primarily reflects increased occupancy at W Austin Hotel and Residences and Parkside Village, both of which opened in 2011.

Stratus is a diversified real estate company engaged in the acquisition, development, management, operation and sale of commercial, hotel, entertainment, multi-family and residential real estate properties, including the W Austin Hotel & Residences project, located primarily in the Austin, Texas area.
