LEASING SERVICESGeneral Growth’s leasing professionals are among the most experienced in the industry. Strong retailer relationships and our trend-setting Portfolio Review program allow us to maximize leasing productivity.

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

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.

Multiple deals can be negotiated in one 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.

Portfolio Review allows GGP to reach every national retailer.

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

Strategic PlanningThe 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.

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. Thesavings driven from the software is expected to deliver a return on investment of less than one year.

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.

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.

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.

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 thecorporate 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.

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.
