Basis of Presentation	Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of The Howard Hughes Corporation and its subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany balances and transactions. The Company also consolidates certain variable interest entities (VIEs) in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 810 Consolidation. The outside equity interests in certain entities controlled by the Company are reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as noncontrolling interests.
Restricted Cash	Restricted Cash Restricted cash reflects amounts segregated in escrow accounts in the name of the Company, primarily related to escrowed condominium deposits by buyers and other amounts related to taxes, insurance, and legally restricted security deposits and leasing costs.
Accounts Receivable, net	Accounts Receivable, net Accounts receivable, net includes straight-line rent receivables, tenant receivables, related-party receivables, and other receivables. On a quarterly basis, management reviews the lease-related receivables, including straight-line rent receivables and tenant receivables, for collectability. This analysis includes a review of past due accounts and considers factors such as the credit quality of tenants, current economic conditions, and changes in customer payment trends. When full collection of a lease-related receivable or future lease payment is deemed to be not probable, a reserve for the receivable balance is charged against rental revenue and future rental revenue is recognized on a cash basis. The Company also records reserves for estimated losses if the estimated loss amount is probable and can be reasonably estimated. Related-party receivables are primarily due from the Floreo joint venture. This balance includes reimbursable overhead costs incurred by the Company on behalf of Floreo and a $6.0 million guaranty fee associated with the increased borrowing capacity of Floreo’s bond financing in the first quarter of 2025. See Note 3 - Investments in Unconsolidated Ventures for additional information on the Floreo joint venture and Note 10 - Commitments and Contingencies for additional information on the guaranty fee. Other receivables are primarily related to short-term trade receivables. The Company is exposed to credit losses through the sale of goods and services to customers and assesses its exposure to credit loss related to these receivables on a quarterly basis based on historical collection experience and future expectations by portfolio. The Company records an allowance for credit losses if the estimated loss amount is probable.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes HHC is a directly owned subsidiary of HHH and will be included in Howard Hughes Holding Inc. and Subsidiaries’ U.S. Federal income tax return. The Company’s financial statements recognize the current and deferred income tax consequences that result from HHC’s activities during the current period pursuant to the provisions of ASC 740 Income Taxes as if the Company were a separate taxpayer rather than a member of Howard Hughes Holding Inc.’s consolidated income tax return group.
MUD Receivables Sales	MUD Receivables Sales In September 2024, the Company entered into a transaction in which it transferred the reimbursement rights for $186.0 million of existing MUD receivables and $9.3 million of related accrued interest, as well as $40.0 million of anticipated future MUD receivables, for total cash consideration of $176.7 million. Using the relative fair value method, $146.7 million of the cash consideration was allocated to the sale of the existing MUD receivables and $30.0 million was allocated to the sale of the anticipated future MUD receivables. As a result of the sale, the Company derecognized the existing MUD receivables and related accrued interest, resulting in a loss on sale of $51.5 million in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the third quarter of 2024. Due to an adjustment to the allocation between projects, a slight reduction in the loss was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2024, and the final impact of this sale was a loss of $48.7 million. In May 2025, the Company entered into a transaction in which it transferred the reimbursement rights to $147.0 million of existing MUD receivables and $14.1 million of related accrued interest, as well as $95.9 million of anticipated future MUD receivables, for total cash consideration of $180.0 million. Using the relative fair value method, $112.8 million of the cash consideration was allocated to the sale of the existing MUD receivables and $67.2 million was allocated to the sale of the anticipated future MUD receivables. As a result of the sale, the Company derecognized the existing MUD receivables and related accrued interest, resulting in a loss on sale of $48.2 million in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For both transactions, the Company is required to complete future development activities. As such, liabilities associated with the future development spend were recorded at amortized cost in Accounts payable and other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The associated discounts, which represent the differences between the total future development spend and the allocated cash proceeds, are being amortized into interest expense over the expected development period using the effective interest method. As of September 30, 2025, the total remaining liability was $68.9 million and the total unamortized discount was $18.1 million. Interest expense related to the discount amortization was $7.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and $16.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, capitalization of development costs, provision for income taxes, recoverable amounts of receivables and deferred tax assets, initial valuations of tangible and intangible assets acquired, and the related useful lives of assets upon which depreciation and amortization is based. Estimates and assumptions have also been made with respect to future revenues and costs, and the fair value of warrants, debt, and options granted. Master Planned Communities (MPC) cost of sales estimates are highly judgmental as they are sensitive to cost escalation, sales price escalation, and lot absorption, which are subject to judgment and affected by expectations about future market or economic conditions. Additionally, the future cash flow estimates and fair values used for impairment analysis are highly judgmental and reflect current and projected trends in rental, occupancy, pricing, development costs, sales pace, capitalization rates, selling costs, and estimated holding periods for the applicable assets. Both MPC cost of sale estimates and estimates used in impairment analysis are affected by expectations about future market or economic conditions. Actual results could differ from these and other estimates.
Noncontrolling Interests	Noncontrolling Interests As of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, noncontrolling interests were primarily related to the 12.0% noncontrolling interest in Teravalis.
Financing Receivable Credit Losses	Financing Receivable Credit Losses The Company is exposed to credit losses through the sale of goods and services to the Company’s customers. Receivables held by the Company primarily relate to short-term trade receivables, discussed above, and financing receivables, which include MUD receivables, Special Improvement District (SID) bonds, Tax Increment Financing (TIF) receivables, net investments in lease receivables, and notes receivable. The Company assesses its exposure to credit loss based on historical collection experience and future expectations by portfolio segment. Historical collection experience is evaluated on a quarterly basis by the Company.
