Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation—The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Old SAFE’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Annual Report”). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Such operating results may not be indicative of the expected results for any other interim periods or the entire year.
Principles of Combination and Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation—The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Allowance for credit losses on net investment in sales-type leases and Ground Lease receivables | Allowance for credit losses on net investment in sales-type leases and Ground Lease receivables—Effective January 1, 2023, upon the adoption of ASU 2016-13, the Company implemented procedures to estimate its allowance for credit losses on net investment in sales-type leases and Ground Lease receivables, including unfunded commitments, using a quantitative analysis to estimate expected loss rates for its portfolio of net investment in sales-type leases and Ground Lease receivables. ASU 2016-13 replaced the incurred loss impairment methodology in prior GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses over the life of the investment and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The Company analyzes historical unemployment rates and historical data provided by Trepp (“Trepp”) for single asset borrower loans including loan to value ratios, loss rates, timing of losses, vintage, property type and other statistics. The Company utilizes historical loss rates, timing of losses and unemployment rates and updates its analysis for current market conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of unemployment rates to develop an estimate of credit losses. The Company analyzes its portfolio of Ground Leases based on whether the property is a stabilized property or a development project (projects with unfunded commitments that are under development or in transition). The Company’s development properties are assigned a higher loss rate due to the more inherent risk of deals under construction. ​ Interest receivable is not included in the Company’s allowance for credit losses on net investment in sales-type leases and Ground Lease receivables as the Company performs timely write-offs, if any, of aged interest receivables. The Company has also made a policy election to write off aged interest receivables through interest income from sales-type leases as opposed to through the provision for credit losses.
Real estate available and held for sale | Real estate available and held for sale—The Company reports real estate assets to be sold at the lower of their carrying amount or estimated fair value less costs to sell and classifies them as “Real estate available and held for sale” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. If the estimated fair value less costs to sell is less than the carrying value, the difference will be recorded as an impairment charge. Impairment for real estate assets disposed of or classified as held for sale are included in "Impairment of assets" in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Once a real estate asset is classified as held for sale, depreciation expense is no longer recorded. The Company classifies its real estate assets as held for sale in the period in which all of the following conditions are met: (i) the Company commits to a plan and has the authority to sell the asset; (ii) the asset is available for sale in its current condition; (iii) the Company has initiated an active marketing plan to locate a buyer for the asset; (iv) the sale of the asset is both probable and expected to qualify for full sales recognition within a period of 12 months; (v) the asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reflective of its current fair value; and (vi) the Company does not anticipate changes to its plan to sell the asset. If circumstances arise that were previously considered unlikely and, as a result the Company decides not to sell a property previously classified as held for sale, the property is reclassified as held and used and included in "Real estate, net" on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company measures and records a property that is reclassified as held and used at the lower of: (i) its carrying amount before the property was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation expense that would have been recognized had the property been continuously classified as held and used; or (ii) the estimated fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell.
Fair values | Fair Values—The Company is required to disclose fair value information with regard to its financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the consolidated balance sheets, for which it is practical to estimate fair value. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The following fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to be used in valuation techniques to measure fair value: Level 1: unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; Level 2: quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and Level 3: prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity). The Company determines the estimated fair values of financial assets and liabilities based on a hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company and the Company’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions. The following table presents the carrying value and fair value for the Company’s financial instruments ($ in millions):
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​

(1) | The fair value of the Company’s net investment in sales-type leases, Ground Lease receivables and loans receivable, net – related party are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the Company’s debt obligations traded in secondary markets are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy and the fair value of the Company’s debt obligations not traded in secondary markets are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.
(2) | The Company determined the carrying values of its cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash approximated their fair values and are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests | ​ Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests—In February 2022, the Company sold 108,571 Caret units (refer to Note 11) for $19.0 million to third-party investors and received a commitment from an existing shareholder (which is affiliated with one of the Company’s independent directors) for the purchase of 28,571 Caret units for $5.0 million. As part of the sale, the Company agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide public market liquidity for such Caret units by seeking to provide a listing of the Caret units, or securities into which they may be exchanged, within two years of the sale. In the event public market liquidity of the Caret units is not achieved within such two year period at a valuation not less than the purchase price for the Caret units purchased in February 2022, reduced by an amount equal to the amount of subsequent cash distributions made to the investors on account of such Caret units, then the investors in the February 2022 transaction have the right to cause their Caret units purchased in February 2022 to be redeemed by Portfolio Holdings at their original purchase price as so reduced. The Company classifies these redeemable Caret units in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480: Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. ASC 480-10-S99-3A requires that equity securities redeemable at the option of the holder be classified outside of permanent stockholders’ equity. The Company classifies redeemable Caret units as “Redeemable noncontrolling interests” in its consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of changes in equity. The redeemable noncontrolling interest’s carrying amount is equal to the higher of (i) the initial carrying amount, increased or decreased for the redeemable noncontrolling interest’s share of net income or loss and dividends; or (ii) the redemption value. In the case of the Company’s redeemable Caret units, the carrying amount equals both the initial carrying amount and the redemption value.
Stock-based compensation | Stock-based compensation—In March 2023, the Company granted awards to employees with an aggregate grant date fair value of $25.0 million, or $28.89 per share. The awards vest ratably over a four-year service period. Compensation cost for stock-based awards is measured on the grant date and adjusted over the period of the employees’ services to reflect: (i) actual forfeitures; and (ii) the service conditions through the requisite service period. Compensation costs are recognized ratably over the applicable vesting/service period and recorded in "General and administrative" in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
Income taxes | Income taxes— The Company (then known as iStar) elected to be taxed as a REIT under sections 856 through 859 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 1998. The Company operates its business in a manner consistent with its election to be taxed as a REIT. As such, the consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared consistent with the Company’s qualification as a REIT for the periods presented. The Company will be subject to federal and state income taxation at corporate rates on its net taxable income; the Company, however, may claim a deduction for the amount of dividends paid to its shareholders. Amounts distributed as dividends by the Company will be subject to taxation at the stockholder level only. While the Company must distribute at least 90% of its net taxable income to qualify as a REIT, the Company intends to distribute all of its net taxable income, if any, and eliminate federal and state taxes on undistributed net taxable income. Certain states may impose minimum franchise taxes. In addition, the Company is allowed certain other non-cash deductions or adjustments, such as depreciation expense, when computing its net taxable income and distribution requirement. These deductions permit the Company to reduce its dividend payout requirement under federal tax laws. The Company’s tax years from 2019 through 2021 remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions The Company has two taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”), one of which was formed during the year ended December 31, 2018 and had no material activity during the periods presented. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes was required. The second TRS provides management services to Star Holdings and internally to the REIT. The second TRS was acquired in the Company’s acquisition of iStar and first had activity during the three months ended June 30, 2023. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded current and deferred income tax expense in the amounts of $0.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively, with respect to the TRS. In addition, the Company paid franchise and other state and local income taxes in the amount of $50 thousand during the three months ended June 30, 2023.
Loans receivable, net - related party | Loans receivable, net – related party—Loans receivable, net – related party includes the four-year term loan that the Company originated to Star Holdings (refer to Note 4). Loans receivable classified as held-for-investment are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balance net of any unamortized acquisition premiums or discounts and unamortized deferred loan costs or fees and credit loss allowances. The Company performs a quarterly analysis of its loan receivable that incorporates management’s current judgments about credit quality based on all known and relevant internal and external factors that may affect collectability. The Company considers, among other things, payment status, lien position, borrower financial resources and investment collateral, collateral type, project economics and other economic factors. The Company estimates its Expected Loss on its loans receivable based on relevant information including current market conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of its investments. The estimate of the Company’s Expected Loss requires significant judgment. The Company calculated its Expected Loss through the use of third-party market data that provided current and future economic conditions that may impact the performance of the commercial real estate assets securing its investments. The Company will consider a loan to be non-performing and place it on non-accrual status at such time as: (1) interest payments become 90 days delinquent; (2) it has a maturity default; or (3) management determines it is probable that it will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan. Non-accrual loans will be returned to accrual status when they have become contractually current and management believes all amounts contractually owed will be received. ​ The Company made the accounting policy election to record accrued interest on its loan asset separate from its loans receivable and to exclude accrued interest from its amortized cost basis disclosures. Any accrued interest receivable is recorded in “Deferred expenses and other assets, net” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $26 thousand of accrued interest on its consolidated balance sheets. The Company will place its loan on non-accrual status once interest on the loan becomes 90 days delinquent and will reverse any accrued interest as a reduction to interest income or recognizes a credit loss expense at such time. As such, the Company elected the practical expedient to not record an allowance against accrued interest receivable. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company did not reverse any accrued interest on its loan asset.
Equity Investments | Equity Investments—Equity investments are accounted for pursuant to the equity method of accounting if the Company can significantly influence the operating and financial policies of the investee. The Company has noncontrolling equity interests in ventures (refer to Note 6) and determined the entities to be voting interest entities. As such, its equity interests in these ventures are accounted for pursuant to the equity method of accounting. The Company’s periodic share of earnings and losses in equity method investees are included in "Earnings from equity method investments" in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Equity investments are included in "Equity investments" on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company acquired two equity interests from iStar in connection with the Merger. In connection with the acquisition, the Company has basis differences in these equity interests that are amortized to income over the life of the underlying assets (refer to Note 6).
Interest Income - related party | Interest Income – related party—Interest income - related party (refer to Note 4) is recognized on an accrual basis using the effective interest method and is recorded in “Interest income – related party” in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
Management fees | Management fees—The Company earns management fees through SpinCo Manager’s management agreement with Star Holdings pursuant to which SpinCo Manager operates and pursues the orderly monetization of Star Holding’s assets (refer to Note 1). Effective March 31, 2023, Star Holdings will pay SpinCo Manager an annual management fee of $25.0 million in year one, $15.0 million in year two, $10.0 million in year three, $5.0 million in year four and 2.0% of the gross book value of Star Holdings’ assets, excluding shares of the Company’s common stock, for each annual term thereafter. The Company recognizes management fee income in accordance with ASC 606: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Pursuant to ASC 606, the Company estimated the total transaction price of the management agreement and allocated the transaction price to its performance obligations under the management agreement. The Company determined that the management contract represents a single continuing performance obligation and will measure its progress toward satisfying its performance obligation using an input method to evaluate the level of effort expended to complete its obligations. The Company recognizes management fee income as it satisfies the performance obligations of the contract and records management fees in “Other income” in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
Acquisitions | Acquisitions—The Company evaluates each acquisition transaction to determine whether the acquired asset meets the definition of a business. Under ASC 805, an acquisition does not qualify as a business when (i) substantially all of the fair value is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets; (ii) the acquisition does not include a substantive process in the form of an acquired workforce; or (iii) an acquired contract that cannot be replaced without significant cost, effort or delay. Acquisitions of a business are accounted for as business combinations and other acquisition transactions are accounted for as asset acquisitions. Transaction costs related to asset acquisitions are capitalized as part of the cost basis of the acquired assets, while transaction costs related to business combinations are expensed as incurred. ​ The Company’s acquisition of iStar was accounted for as a business combination. For business combinations, the Company recognizes and measures identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at their fair values on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. In a business combination, the difference, if any, between the purchase consideration and the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired is either recorded as goodwill or as a bargain purchase gain. ​ Fair values are based on available information including discounted cash flow analysis or similar fair value models. Fair value estimates are also made using significant assumptions such as capitalization rates, discount rates, fair market lease rates and other market data. The fair value of the Company’s interests in equity investments acquired is calculated using the fair value of the investments held by the venture, which are valued using methods as described above, and considers the Company’s economics in the venture. The fair value of financial instruments, which could include loans receivable or net investment in sales-type leases, is based on current market conditions and loan or lease agreements in place. The fair value of tangible assets, which could include land, buildings, building improvements and tenant improvements is determined as if these assets are vacant. Intangible assets may include the value of right of use lease assets, above-market leases and in-place leases. As lessee, right of use lease assets and lease liabilities are measured at the present value of lease payments not yet paid, discounted at the implied rate charged by the lessor if that rate is readily determinable, or if that rate is not readily determinable, the Company's incremental borrowing rate, as of the date of the acquisition. As lessee, operating lease right of use assets are included in “Deferred expenses and other assets, net” and operating lease liabilities are recorded in “Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. As lessee, above-market operating lease intangibles, in-place operating lease intangibles and below-market lease assets are each recorded at their fair values and included in “Deferred expenses and other assets, net” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. ​ The table below shows the Company’s purchase consideration for the acquisition of iStar ($ in thousands):
​ | ​ | ​ | ​
Total Company shares as purchase price(1) | ​ | ​ | 1,195,034
Stock price of the Company’s common stock(2) | ​ | $ | 29.78
Fair value of the Company's stock transferred | ​ | ​ | 35,588
Cash consideration paid by the Company to iStar | ​ | ​ | 88,685
Purchase consideration | ​ | $ | 124,273
(1) | The total post-Merger shares of the Company to be held by iStar shareholders includes 12.7 million shares that were issued as consideration for the investment in Old SAFE previously held by iStar as of March 30, 2023 that were retired in connection with the Merger. Accordingly, these shares are excluded from the purchase consideration as they are reflected as a treasury stock repurchase and retirement by Old SAFE.
(2) | Based on the closing price of Old SAFE’s common stock as of March 30, 2023, representing the final closing price prior to the effective time of the Merger.
​ The Merger was accounted for as a business combination pursuant to ASC 805 and all Merger related costs were expensed as incurred. The Company recorded $0.1 million of Merger expenses and $0.3 million of related non-recurring charges during the three months ended June 30, 2023 in “Other expense” in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company recorded $18.9 million of Merger expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2023, of which $14.1 million was recorded in “Other expense” and $4.8 million was recorded in “General and administrative” in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company also recorded $0.9 million of related non-recurring charges in “Other expense” and a provision for credit losses of $2.3 million on the Secured Term Loan Facility (refer to Note 4) which was originated at the time of the Merger in conjunction with the Spin-Off. Excluding $3.0 million of related non-recurring charges and the $2.3 million provision for credit losses on the Secured Term Loan Facility, through June 30, 2023, the Company has incurred $26.5 million of Merger expenses. The following table sets forth the preliminary allocation of the purchase consideration to the fair values of identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, recognized as a result of the acquisition described in Note 1 above, measurement period adjustments and a revised allocation of the purchase consideration ($ in thousands):

Add: net identifiable liabilities assumed | ​ | ​ | 31,524 | ​ | ​ | (6,292) | ​ | ​ | 25,232
Goodwill(6) | ​ | ​ | 155,797 | ​ | ​ | (6,292) | ​ | ​ | 149,505
(1) | Equity investments were valued using discount rates between 7.2% and 13.9% and are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.
(2) | During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded a deferred tax asset in the amount of $6.3 million, net of a valuation allowance in the amount of $2.8 million, and reduced goodwill by $6.3 million. The net deferred tax asset relates to net operating loss carryovers to which the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary is a successor and were finalized upon filing tax returns for periods prior to the Merger.
(3) | Deferred expenses and other assets includes $11.0 million attributable to operating lease right of use assets, $4.7 million attributable to prepaid expenses resulting from the settlement of iStar’s compensation plans, $2.1 million attributable to in-place prepaid contracts, $1.3 million attributable to office furniture and equipment and $6.3 million attributable to other receivables.
(4) | Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities primarily includes a $14.2 million operating lease liability. In addition, under the Merger Agreement, iStar was required to fund its share of merger-related costs and to provide sufficient cash to fund any unresolved corporate obligations and accrued liabilities or costs yet-to-be incurred prior to the Merger. Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities includes approximately $8.7 million of obligations assumed from iStar, which are offset with corresponding amounts in cash and cash equivalents and amounts receivable in deferred expenses and other assets, net sufficient to settle such obligations.
(5) | Debt obligations were valued using a discount rate of 6.7% and are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.
(6) | Goodwill is calculated as the excess of purchase consideration over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired and primarily relates to the acquisition of iStar’s workforce and future synergies expected to be realized after the completion of the Merger.
The following table summarizes the Company's pro forma revenues and net income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 as if the Merger described in Note 1 was completed on January 1, 2022 ($ in thousands):(1)
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ |  | For the Three Months Ended June 30, | ​ | For the Six Months Ended June 30,
​ | ​ | 2023 |  | 2022 | ​ | 2023 |  | 2022
Pro forma revenues | ​ | $ | 85,661 | ​ | $ | 75,627 | ​ | $ | 182,917 | ​ | $ | 145,220
Pro forma net income (loss) | ​ | ​ | 22,111 | ​ | ​ | (89,865) | ​ | ​ | 56,434 | ​ | ​ | (163,478)
(1) | The pro forma revenues and net income (loss) are presented for informational purposes only and may not be indicative of what the actual results of operations of the Company would have been assuming the transaction occurred on January 1, 2022, nor do they purport to represent the Company’s results of operations for future periods. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, pro forma net loss includes $47.7 million of merger expenses (including $20.3 million of merger expenses borne by iStar), which are non-recurring in nature. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, pro forma net loss includes $116.6 million and $158.7 million, respectively, of losses on extinguishment of debt, which are non-recurring in nature. From the date of the Merger closing through June 30, 2023, $0.1 million of total revenues and $4.6 million of net income of the acquiree are included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
Goodwill | Goodwill—Goodwill is calculated as the excess of purchase consideration over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired (or liabilities assumed) and primarily relates to the acquisition of iStar’s workforce and future synergies expected to be realized from the Merger. Goodwill is not subject to amortization but is tested annually for impairment or more frequently should potential triggering events be identified that may indicate potential impairment, such as when a company’s market capitalization is below its book value. Any full or partial impairment of goodwill would flow through the Company’s income statement as a non-cash charge and would adversely affect the Company’s net income for the period in which the impairment is recognized. The Company does not expect goodwill to have any tax impact on its financial statements.
New Accounting Pronouncements | New accounting pronouncements—The following paragraph describes the impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements from the adoption of Accounting Standards Updates ("ASUs") on January 1, 2023. ​ The Company adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13"), as amended, on January 1, 2023 using the modified retrospective approach method. Under the modified retrospective approach, the Company recorded a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings by recording an initial allowance for credit losses on net investment in sales-type leases and Ground Lease receivables. Periods presented that are prior to the adoption date of January 1, 2023 will not be adjusted. ASU 2016-13 replaced the incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects a current expected credit loss ("Expected Loss"). ASU 2016-13 impacted all of the Company’s investments held at amortized cost, which included its net investment in sales-type leases and Ground Lease receivables. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2023, the Company recorded an initial allowance for credit losses on net investments in sales-type leases of $0.4 million and an initial allowance for credit losses on Ground Lease receivables of $0.2 million, both of which were recorded as a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings. Subsequent increases or decreases in the allowance for credit losses on net investment in sales-type leases or Ground Lease receivables will be charged to "Provision for credit losses" in the Company's consolidated statements of operations. Refer to "Significant Accounting Policies" above for more information on how the Company determines its allowance for credit losses on net investment in sales-type leases, Ground Lease receivables and loans receivable, net – related party. ​ The Company also adopted ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses: Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures (“ASU 2022-02”). ASU 2022-02 eliminated troubled debt restructuring recognition and measurement guidance and requires disclosure of gross write-offs by vintage for public business entities. The adoption of ASU 2022-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
