Despite that, Ackman believed the underlying assets were sound.\n“The occupancies were up, the rents were up, the net operating income was up, the fundamentals of the company were solid,” he said, adding that these were “basically class A sort of the fanciest, best malls.” \nPershing Square Holdings Ltd. (OTC: PSHZF) acquired its stake in the company for roughly $60 million, and Ackman joined the board to help guide the restructuring process. \nAckman also recently revealed the story of a New York City cab driver who expressed his gratitude for a tip he received from him on CNBC, regarding General Growth Properties. The cab driver’s $50,000 investment in the stock, he said, turned into a $3 million retirement fund.\nThe rescuing of mall operator General Growth remains a key milestone in Ackman’s career, with the company being acquired by Brookfield Property Partners (NASDAQ: BPYPN) for $9 billion in 2018. \nShares of Brookfield Property Partners were down 1.58% on Friday, closing at $13.58. The stock scores poorly in Benzinga’s Edge Stock Rankings, but has a favorable price trend in the short, medium and long terms.
