The firm owns assets up and down the coast and further inland in Las Vegas. One of its more notable assets is the Promenade at Howard Hughes Center, a 248,000-square-foot retail-entertainment center just north of the Los Angeles International Airport. The firm is also a fixture at ICSC conferences in Las Vegas, San Diego and other locales.
