We've been a little slow to report that General Growth is marketing three trophy properties in its portfolio that were originally acquired from the Rouse Co. The assets, being marketed by DTZ Rockwood, are Faneuil Hall in Boston; South Street Seaport in Manhattan and Harborplace and the Gallery in Baltimore.We've been intrigued by the prospects of these three centers going to market because of their civic significance in each locale.These things aren't just malls, they're neighborhoods that their respective cities place a high value on because of their prime locations and tourism appeal. Sure, they all have their faults, but no one can argue that these things aren't unique.So who do you see buying them? We've talked to quite a few people about potential candidates and seem to get the same response: "A local, private buyer." Disagree?
