Howard Hughes Corporation (HHC, Financial) was discussed in the Clark Street Value 2021 Q4 letter as a complex real estate play with both risks and opportunities. The company's strategic shift towards land development and recent asset sales highlight its evolving business model.

"Howard Hughes Corporation is my perennial value trap, but the pitfall of their diversified real estate model is also a benefit... They've sold 110 N Wacker in Chicago for more than $1B." — Clark Street Value, 2021 Q4 Fund Letter
