GGP Inc. (an initialism of General Growth Properties) was an American commercial real estate company and the second-largest shopping mall operator in the United States. It was founded by brothers Martin, Matthew and Maurice Bucksbaum in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, in 1954, and was headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, from 2000. It was subject to the largest real estate bankruptcy in American history at the time of its filing in 2009.[1]
GGP was acquired by Brookfield Property Partners, and management of its portfolio was transferred to Brookfield Properties, in 2018. Its portfolio included 125 properties comprising approximately 121,000,000 square feet (11,200,000 m2) in 40 U.S. states at the time of its acquisition, ranking behind only Simon Property Group in total square footage.[2]
