  • Annual Report 2016 Is to Own and Operate
    ANNUAL REPORT 2016 IS TO OWN AND OPERATE BEST-IN-CLASS RETAIL PROPERTIES THAT PROVIDE AN O U R OUTSTANDING ENVIRONMENT MISSION AND EXPERIENCE FOR OUR COMMUNITIES, RETAILERS, EMPLOYEES, CONSUMERS AND SHAREHOLDERS. 3 ALA MOANA CENTER Dear Shareholder, Our mission is to own and operate best-in-class retail properties that provide an outstanding environment and experience for our communities, retailers, employees, consumers and shareholders. Our core values are the DNA that make employees of GGP a family: Humility, Attitude, Do the Right Thing, Together and Own It. A winning culture creates a winning team. Retail real estate is ever evolving and so is GGP. Effective January 2017, we formally changed our name to GGP Inc. from General Growth Properties, Inc. The name change reinforces our mission and evolution to a pure-play owner of high quality retail properties in the U.S. Financial Results We believe GGP can generate long term average annual EBITDA growth of 4% to 5% from increases in contractual rent and occupancy, positive releasing spreads and income from redevelopment activities and acquisitions, taking into account nominal expense growth. 2016 was a year of achievements in the face of headwinds. Since 2014, more than 40 national retailers declared bankruptcy, representing 950 leases covering over three million square feet. On an annual basis, these leases represented nearly $180 million of rental revenue. We have more than overcome the rent and occupancy loss from these bankruptcies. Our 2016 results included same store NOI growth of 4.4% and EBITDA growth of 9.3%. We increased the dividend by nearly 13% and paid a special dividend resulting in a total common stock dividend of $1.06 per share.

Hilfiger in Five Years: Firm Said to Forecast Wholesale Will Halve By Jean Palmieri NEW YORK — The long-term picture for the U.S. wholesale business at Tommy Hilfiger Corp. isn’t a pretty one. Meanwhile, the chances of Hilfiger being acquired by Wal-Mart Stores Inc. no longer seems so far-fetched; one investment banker pegged them at “50-50.” According to investment sources who have seen the company’s offering memorandum, Hilfiger is projecting that U.S. wholesale sales will drop by more than half, to just more than $400 million, by fiscal year 2009, from just under $900 million in fiscal year 2004.

As with housing, Plano’s opportunities for commercial development and redevelop- ment are impacted by many different fi nancial, market and demographic forces. In many cases today, developers wish to also combine retail, offi ce and hotel uses with high density housing in mixed-use projects, a development pattern that does not fi t neatly with Plano’s traditional land use policies and suburban development pattern. These development trends provide much food for thought, so the retreat will concen- trate solely on two agenda items this year. First, a panel of local real estate experts will address the trends affecting commercial real estate and their impact on Plano. The second topic will be an interactive discussion on the characteristics of mixed-use development and its role in Plano’s development landscape. Plano’s ability to provide convenient shopping, retain its status as a regional employ- ment center and respond to opportunities for new forms and types of development will greatly infl uence the city’s future. As in past years, the retreat will provide an oppor- tunity to step back and explore trends and issues from a broader context and to focus on their effects on the city.

  • Urban Housing Markets Joe Gyourko Martin Bucksbaum Professor Of
    Urban Housing Markets Joe Gyourko Martin Bucksbaum Professor of Real Estate & Finance The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania [email protected] Draft of December 17, 2007 Abstract The decline in the share of substandard housing in U.S. cities is a major urban success of the last half century. Indicators of housing consumption at the bottom end of the income distribution also show improvement over recent decades. Given these favorable changes, the challenges that housing markets provide for cities and urban public policy more generally now lie more in how they mediate urban growth and decline. The durability of housing is a major reason why urban decline is such a lengthy process and why the poor and less skilled tend to concentrate in declining markets. Among growing cities, the rise of local land use and building restrictions helps determine whether strong demand manifests itself more in terms of higher house prices or population growth. Thus, these regulations affect where we live, and there is evidence of increased spatial sorting along income lines. These examples illustrate that how housing markets function has important implications for how cities function, for better or worse. This paper was prepared for the conference on “Unraveling the Urban Enigma: City Prospects, City Policies” in honor of the late Kathy Engebretson. Writing it has been a bittersweet experience. At different points in our careers, Kathy was a doctoral student and then a friend and advisor from her post as President of the William Penn Foundation. She was a lover of cities, but never forgot to approach them or urban public policy with a scholar’s skeptical eye.

    Smithsonian Institution 2008 ANNUAL REPORT CHARTING COURSE » From the Secretary It is my great pleasure to introduce the Smithsonian’s achievements in 2008, the year that I became the 12th Secretary of the Smithsonian. I am privileged to arrive at the Institution at a moment of signifi cant opportunity, one in which we have begun to chart our course for the future with an ambitious strategic planning process that will outline the broad themes that are to guide our progress. We face a new era in which rapidly emerging technologies will enable us to leverage our considerable resources and talents more effectively than ever before. In so doing, we will reinforce the Smithsonian’s position as a world leader in research and discovery. As we shape the Institution for the 21st century, we will build upon the Smithsonian’s historic strengths: our incomparable collections in art, history, and nearly every branch of science; the rigorous research that fl ows from our collections; and the passion and expertise of a dedicated staff. These qualities, coupled with the Smithsonian’s collaborative spirit, will enable us to recruit distinguished partners and mount joint efforts to address the most complex issues of our day. This year’s annual report refl ects our abundant assets. Inside are stories of The Sant « EXAMINING THE PRESENT « INTERPRETING THE PAST » SHAPING THE FUTURE » Ocean Hall and Mars exploration that illustrate the vast arc of the Smithsonian’s scientifi c research. A retrospective look at baseball’s Negro Leagues highlights the Institution’s com- mitment to presenting the American experience from diverse perspectives, while cutting-edge art installations give us cultural impact and position us as an innovator in exhibitions.
