File No. 333-279690
Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of our client, Seaport Entertainment Group Inc. (the “Company”), set forth below are the Company’s responses to the comments of the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission in their letter dated September 9, 2024 relating to the Company’s Amendment No. 3 to Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed on September 5, 2024 (“Amendment No. 3”). Concurrently with the submission of this letter, the Company has publicly filed Amendment No. 4 to Registration Statement on Form S-1 (“Amendment No. 4”), which reflects the revisions described herein and certain other updated information.
For ease of reference, the text of the comments in the Staff’s letter has been reproduced in italics herein, with the Company’s response immediately following each numbered comment. Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in Amendment No. 4.
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences, page 165
1.Because it appears that counsel is providing a short-form tax opinion, revise this section to state that it constitutes counsel’s opinion, and revise counsel’s opinion to confirm that the discussion in the prospectus under this subheading constitutes its opinion, rather than stating that is constitutes an accurate summary. Refer to Staff Legal Bulletin No. 19 at our web-site for guidance.
Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company respectfully advises the Staff that it has revised the disclosure on pages 166 and 167 and the associated exhibit of Amendment No. 4.
