GGP Services Inc. (doing business as GGP; originally an initialism of General Growth Properties) is an American commercial real estate company. It was founded in 1954 and was the country's second-largest shopping mall operator at the time of its acquisition by Brookfield Property Partners and integration into Brookfield Properties in 2018. Brookfield, now BGRE, reverted to the GGP brand for its American retail business in 2026.
Founded by brothers Martin, Matthew and Maurice Bucksbaum in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, it moved to Chicago, Illinois, in 1997. In 2009, it filed for bankruptcy protection, becoming the largest U.S. real estate firm to do so. In 2018, its portfolio included 125 properties comprising about 121,000,000 square feet (11,200,000 m2) in 40 U.S. states, behind only Simon Property Group in total square footage.
