5. Leasing Strategy
GGP will develop a long-term merchandising plan that ranges from
traditional mall retailers to a dynamic mix of traditional and non-traditional
anchor stores, restaurants and entertainment uses along with lifestyle and
big box retailers. The merchandising plan will be tailored to the needs of
the property and the dynamics of the market.
GGP’s relationships with retailers are critical in introducing new retail
venues.
We evaluate rent rolls, sales, occupancy costs, lease expiration, termination
rights, renewal potential and overall financial health. After completing this
evaluation, we compare these metrics to the GGP portfolio.
Market research is conducted along with an analysis of like
projects/markets in the GGP portfolio to assist in developing the appropriate
merchandise mix.
A prospect list and merchandise plan will be delivered based on the owner’s
objectives and strategic direction for the property.

Portfolio Review is GGP’s customized leasing
program designed for merchants looking to
expand into multiple locations. Retailers are
enticed by General Growth’s portfolio of 200+
properties in 45 states.
Portfolio Review plays an integral part in the
marketing of a center to retailers and is a key
method to expose the center to hundreds of
potential retailers over a short period of
time. GGP conducts more than 1,000 retailer
Portfolio Review meetings annually in our
corporate and regional offices.
The value that this deal-making program brings
to a center is unparalleled in the industry.

meeting.
Highly efficient process for retailers to do
business with GGP owned and managed
centers.
Pre-meeting agendas include each retailer’s
selection criteria and space needs so the focus
during the meeting is on deal making.
When the retailer arrives, applicable malls and
economics are reviewed.

national retailer.
In addition to traditional mall retailers, Portfolio
Review also includes big box retailers,
restaurants, theaters, food court tenants and

12. Property Management Services
Strategic Planning
The strategic planning process is critical in evaluating the potential of a property
and determining the overall strategic direction. A strategic plan is developed for
each asset, taking into consideration the unique set of circumstances that impact
the property.
A team approach is utilized which includes the following:
Full day of strategic planning at the property.
The process involves all regional and local team members.
Ownership is invited to ensure consensus on the proposed strategies.
The property team provides a situation analysis that includes key facts relating to the
market, center, customer and competition.
The property and regional teams complete a S.W.O.T. (Strengths, Weaknesses,
Opportunities, Threats) analysis of the center.
This process provides the foundation for the strategic initiatives for the center.
The annual business plan and budget are developed in support of the strategic plan.
The strategic plan is reviewed annually or sooner if changing property or market
conditions warrant this need.
11
13. Property Management Services
Clean - Safe - Secure
GGP’s mission is to manage properties through an established set of
consistent operating standards to meet the needs of the owner, retailers and
shoppers, by providing a Clean-Safe-Secure environment.
National Vendor Program
Because of GGP’s size, we have been able to negotiate national vendor
contracts that take advantage of economies of scale to ensure the best
pricing as well as establish uniform vendor standards and expectations.
Maintenance
A review of preventative and recurring maintenance is conducted on an
ongoing basis to ensure the highest standards are being maintained. GGP
recommends the utilization of preventative maintenance software. The
savings driven from the software is expected to deliver a return on
investment of less than one year.
12
14. Property Management Services
Efficiency of Building Systems and Energy Consumption
GGP has established strong relationships with a variety of
energy consultants.
Upon assuming responsibility for a property, we
recommend a comprehensive review of all electrical and
mechanical systems including lighting, temperature and
fire/life/safety to ensure optimum cost effectiveness of
these systems.
Depending upon the owner’s hold strategy, installing or
updating an Energy Management System may be
appropriate. An EMS System decreases energy costs and
provides a more comfortable environment for customers
and retailers.
13
15. Property Management Services
Security and Risk Management
Security is contracted through preferred providers that
require certain levels of training, reporting and audits of
compliance that we believe are second to none in the
contracted management industry.
The Security Director and General Manager frequently
meet with local law enforcement in order to stay abreast of
local issues while maintaining a strong working relationship.
Each property has an emergency procedure manual that
includes contingency plans for disasters, bomb threats, civil
disorder and other occurrences.
14
16. Property Management Services
Security and Risk Management
GGP has a corporate emergency disaster team consisting of
representatives from all major departments and regional
office employees.
If a disaster occurs, we are prepared to mobilize and assist
the property in recovery, loss evaluation and reconstruction.
All preferred vendors meet our stringent insurance
requirements as well as the owners.
All property team members are very aware of the risk
management issues at their property and are alert for any
potential problems during daily walks through the property.
15
17. Property Management Services
Capital Improvement Planning
Capital Improvement recommendations are made during the
budgeting process.
GGP utilizes consultants for recommendations regarding major
repair and replacement programs for assets such as mechanical
systems, roofs and parking lots.
GGP has established national contracts with vendors in the areas
of roofs, elevators, escalators, parking lots, etc.
16
18. Property Management Services
Lease Administration
The Management Team handles leases from submission of the deal
internally through owner approval and sends the leases to legal
counsel.
Financial abstracting of a new lease is typically handled by the
corporate staff accountant assigned to the property.
The process from lease draft to lease execution is usually handled by
the owner’s outside legal counsel.
Implementation of legal requirements of the lease (e.g., notices,
subordination agreements, etc.) is the responsibility of the on-site
management team to track, utilizing legal counsel as the resource to
implement with owner’s approval.
17
19. Property Management Services
Ongoing Tenant Viability
Ongoing tenant viability is monitored on a monthly basis via
the sales, leasing, asset recovery and legal reports.
In the budget process, at-risk tenants are identified and
budgeted for accordingly.
Ongoing analysis is performed and decisions are made
regarding tenant retention, rent concessions, recapturing the
space, receivables and collections.
Ultimately, decisions are made in a proactive manner that will
be in the best long-term interests of the property with owner’s
approval.
18
20. Property Management Services
Management Reporting and Client Communications
General Growth has a proven track record of consistently meeting the
information needs of our owners with accurate and timely reports.
Monthly status reports are produced for performance results, property
issues and income/expense variances.
Regularly scheduled leasing calls and monthly leasing status reports
provide the current status of leasing efforts and performance to budget.
GGP is flexible in creating customized reports requested by ownership.
The regional and property teams generally meet with ownership on a
quarterly basis to discuss the property’s current performance and future
direction. Frequency of meetings can be adjusted based upon the needs
of the property and ownership.
Regular communication is considered critical for timely and accurate
decision-making.
