  • Steep discounts in the sector are drawing renowned value investors into Class A mall stocks, including Elliott Management in Taubman, Starboard Value and Third Point in Macerich and Brookfield Asset Management making a public offer for GGP
  • Green Street Advisors, a leading independent real estate research firm, recently upgraded TCO noting more than 50% upside to net asset value

Jonathan Litt, founder and chief investment officer of Land & Buildings, stated, "The widespread sentiment that all malls are dead continues to miss the mark. In reality, the recent strong activity on Black Friday is just the latest in a series of proof points underscoring that the top malls in the country, such as the Class A malls owned by Taubman, remain destinations for consumers. As the stocks of the companies owning these malls continue to be undervalued, Land & Buildings is confident that there is a significant opportunity to realize value in these names. Taubman's problems are self-inflicted, rooted in horrible operating performance, capital allocation and corporate governance, which if fixed could lead to at least 50% upside in the shares."
