    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.
