These include international retailers and anchors, as well as regional stores covering a range of categories. More than 1.8 billion consumers visit a GGP mall every year. GGP has centers in 37 of the top 50 metro areas in the U.S. More than half of GGP's portfolio is located in these markets including 32 properties in the top 10 U.S. markets.
GGP owns the largest open-air shopping mall in the world, Ala Moana Center in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi. Ala Moana Center is also a flagship of a GGP tourism program called "America's Premier Shopping Places." It lists a number of tourist destinations that include Water Tower Place in Chicago.
The company was founded by two brothers, Martin and Matthew Bucksbaum, in 1954. That year, they opened their first shopping center, Town & Country Shopping Center in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. In 1960, General Management opened its second center, Duck Creek Plaza in Bettendorf, Iowa; this was their first mall to have a department store (Younkers) as an anchor.
