Howard Hughes Holdings Inc., formerly the Howard Hughes Corporation, is a real estate development and management company based in The Woodlands, Texas. It was formed in 2010 as a spin-off from General Growth Properties (GGP). Most of its holdings are focused on several master-planned communities. It took its name from the original Howard Hughes Corporation, which had developed the planned community of Summerlin, Nevada, and later became a subsidiary of GGP.
History
General Growth Properties filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2009.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> The company proposed a reorganization plan that included spinning off a new company named General Growth Opportunities, which would include those properties that had long-term development potential but little or no income.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> The name of the proposed spin-off was later changed to The Howard Hughes Corporation (HHC).<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> The spin-off of HHC to GGP's shareholders was completed on November 9, 2010, when GGP exited bankruptcy.<ref name=ap20101110>Template:Cite news</ref><ref name="ggp20101109">Template:Cite press release</ref> The new company held a portfolio that included GGP's master planned communities, mixed-use developments, and undeveloped land.<ref name="ggp20101109" /> Hedge fund manager Bill Ackman was appointed chairman of the new company.<ref name=ap20101110 />
In 2019, in response to investor disappointment with the company's stock price, HHC conducted a review of strategic options, including the possibility of selling the company.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Ultimately, the company announced a "transformation plan", under which it would focus on its master-planned communities and sell off $2 billion of non-core assets.<ref>Template:Cite press release</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> HHC moved its headquarters from Dallas to The Woodlands in 2020 as a cost-cutting measure under this plan.<ref>Template:Cite report</ref>
