Macy's taps Brookfield to mine real estate cash
Move comes after department-store firm posts another quarter of declining sales; alliance signals it is getting more aggressive about capitalising on its sprawling holdings
New York
MACY'S Inc hired Brookfield Asset Management to squeeze more money out of its real estate holdings after the largest US department-store company posted another quarter of declining sales.
Brookfield will have the exclusive right for two years to create a development plan for about 50 pieces of Macy's real estate, the retailer said in a statement on Thursday. The holdings include stores and land that Macy's owns or ground-leases - most of which are in shopping centres that aren't owned by major mall owners.
