Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Business Segments BUSINESS SEGMENTS
Stratus is engaged primarily in the entitlement, development, management, leasing and sale of multi-family and single-family residential and commercial real estate properties in the Austin, Texas area and other select markets in Texas. Stratus generates revenues primarily from the sale of developed lots or homes and undeveloped land and the lease of developed retail, mixed-use and multi-family properties. Stratus has two operating segments, which are also its two reportable segments: Real Estate Operations and Leasing Operations. The Real Estate Operations
segment includes properties under various stages of development: developed for sale, under development and available for development. In this segment, Stratus entitles, develops and sells properties. Properties that Stratus develops and then holds for investment become part of the Leasing Operations segment. Decisions about whether to continue to hold a property for investment or to sell it depend on various factors, including conditions in the real estate markets in which Stratus operates and the estimated fair value of the property, and are primarily driven by the objective of maximizing overall asset value.

The Real Estate Operations segment is comprised of Stratus’ real estate assets, which consists of its properties in Austin, Texas (including the Barton Creek Community, which includes Holden Hills Phases 1 and 2, Amarra multi-family and commercial land, Amarra Villas homes, an Amarra Drive lot and other vacant land; the Circle C community; the Lantana community, which includes a portion of Lantana Place planned for a multi-family phase known as The Saint Julia; and the land for The Annie B); in Lakeway, Texas, located in the greater Austin area (Lakeway); in College Station, Texas (land for future phases of retail and multi-family development and retail pad sites at Jones Crossing); and in Magnolia, Texas (potential development of approximately 11 acres planned for future multi-family use), Kingwood, Texas (a retail pad site) and New Caney, Texas (New Caney), each located in the greater Houston area.

The Leasing Operations segment is comprised of Stratus’ real estate assets held for investment that are leased or available for lease and includes The Saint George (which was completed in second-quarter 2025 and moved from the Real Estate Operations segment to the Leasing Operations segment), The Saint June, Kingwood Place, the retail portion of Lantana Place, the completed retail portion of Jones Crossing, and retail pad sites subject to ground leases at Lantana Place, Kingwood Place and Jones Crossing. The segment also included West Killeen Market prior to its sale in second-quarter 2025 and the retail portion of Magnolia Place prior to its sale in third-quarter 2024. As discussed in Note 10, Lantana Place – Retail is under contract to sell. Subject to satisfaction of closing conditions, the sale is expected to close in fourth-quarter 2025.

Stratus’ chief operating decision maker (CODM) is the chief executive officer. The CODM primarily uses segment profit (loss), which is operating income (loss) excluding general and administrative expenses, determined consistent with the measurement principles of U.S. GAAP, to measure the performance of Stratus’ reportable segments. The segment measure of profit (loss) provides a comprehensive view of the segments’ financial performance. The CODM makes decisions about the allocation of operating and capital resources to each segment based on assessment of the performance of the two segments and considering the capital needs for new and existing projects and the objectives of Stratus’ overall business strategy. General and administrative expenses, which primarily consist of employee salaries, wages and other costs, are managed on a consolidated basis and are not allocated to Stratus’ operating segments. The following segment information reflects management determinations that may not be indicative of what the actual financial performance of each segment would be if it were an independent entity.
