The New Howard Hughes Corporation

As of today, the company that will be orchestrating the redevelopment of Columbia's Town Center will no longer be General Growth Properties, instead it will be the newly created Howard Hughes Corporation. The new entity, whose stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange today under the symbol HHC, will be headquartered in Dallas, Texas.

And in a different twist on “meet the new boss, same as the old boss,” Greg Hamm, the General Manager of Columbia and the guy who spearheaded the redevelopment effort since December of 2007 for GGP, has assumed the same role for the HHC.
