Agree with both of y'all. GGP apparently is and has been hemmorhaging red ink- Southpoint apparently is not (at least not by how far out I have to park when I go shop there).

In addition, approximately 158 regional shopping centers owned by GGP and certain other GGP subsidiaries (collectively with GGP, the “Company”) have also filed for protection.


Here is a quote from an article on the Bull City Rising website:

"On the bright side: The Herald-Sun notes that 158 of GGP's subsidiaries and shopping centers filled bankruptcy simultaneously -- but not Southpoint, which has a very low occupancy rate (reportedly usually less than 3%) and top-shelf tenants."

Southpoint DIDN'T file for bankruptcy. From the N&O today:

Southpoint isn't affected
Durham's Streets at Southpoint is the only Triangle mall owned by General Growth Properties. However, the 7-year-old mall was not on the list of 158 shopping centers and other subsidiaries that filed for bankruptcy along with their parent company on Thursday.General Growth spokesman David Keating said that properties not on the list of filing entities are not involved in the Chapter 11 filings. Mall manager Pat Anderson said the mall's operations and staff of 70 people were unaffected. "We will remain very much open for business," he said. "We will stay at business as usual."
The company owns other malls in North Carolina, including Carolina Place in Pineville, Four Seasons Town Centre in Greensboro, The Bridges at Mint Hill in Charlotte and Valley Hills Mall in Hickory.
