Rouse Properties was a real estate investment trust headquartered in New York City. The company owned 35 shopping malls in 22 states encompassing approximately 24.5 million square feet of retail space.

History

[edit]

In 2011, General Growth Properties announced that it would spin off a portfolio of 30 shopping malls as a new company named Rouse Properties.[1][2] The name was taken from the Rouse Company, which GGP had acquired in 2004.[2] The portfolio comprised most of GGP's Class B shopping centers (malls located in smaller cities, and second-tier malls in larger cities), allowing GGP to focus on its higher-performing properties.[3][4] The spin-off was completed on January 12, 2012.[5]

In February 2012, the company acquired Grand Traverse Mall for $66 million.[6]

In January 2013, the company acquired The Mall at Turtle Creek in Jonesboro, Arkansas for $96 million.[6]

In May 2014, the company began a $40 million renovation of NewPark Mall in Newark, California.[7]

In March 2015, the company defaulted a loan secured by Vista Ridge Mall in Lewisville, Texas.[8]

In November 2015, the company acquired The Shoppes at Carlsbad in Carlsbad, California.[9]

In 2016, Brookfield Asset Management, which owned 33 percent of Rouse Properties, made an unsolicited offer to purchase the rest of the company.[10][11] A purchase agreement was eventually reached, valuing the company at $2.8 billion.[12] Brookfield's acquisition of Rouse Properties was completed on July 6, 2016.[13][14]

In 2018, Brookfield also acquired GGP. Ultimately the Rouse Properties brand was absorbed into Brookfield Properties.[15]
