The Affordable Housing Reader THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING READER Edited by J. Rosie Tighe and Elizabeth J. Mueller THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING READER The Affordable Housing Reader brings together classic works and contemporary writing on the themes and debates that have invigorated the fi eld of affordable housing policy as well as the challenges arising in achieving the goals of policy on the ground. The reader – aimed at professors, students, and researchers – provides an overview of the literature on housing policy and planning that is both comprehensive and interdisciplinary. It is particularly suited for graduate and undergraduate courses on housing policy offered to students of public policy and city planning. The volume is structured around the key debates in affordable housing, ranging from the confl icting motivations for housing policy, through analysis of the causes of and solutions to housing problems, to concerns about gentrifi cation and housing and race. Each debate is contextualized in an introductory essay by the editors, and illustrated with a range of texts and articles. Elizabeth Mueller and Rosie Tighe have brought together in a single volume the best and most infl uential writings on housing and its importance for planners and policy-makers. J. Rosie Tighe is an assistant professor in the department of Geography and Planning at Appalachian State University. She is interested in social equity, race and class inequality, and housing affordability issues. Her current research focuses on gentrifi cation, the evolving nature of the American Dream, and community responses to the foreclosure crisis. Elizabeth J. Mueller is an associate professor of community and regional planning and social work at the University of Texas at Austin. She is interested in the ways that public actions shape the social, economic and political opportunities and experiences of vulnerable communities within cities. Her current work focuses on the tensions between current city planning and housing goals.

  • 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.
