THE WOODLANDS, Texas, June 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Howard Hughes Holdings Inc. (NYSE: HHH) announced today the appointment of Dana Hamilton to the company’s Board of Directors. Ms. Hamilton is a veteran C-suite executive with a track record of growing successful real estate operating and investment companies and using data analytics and technology to drive performance-enhancing organizational and industry change.

“Dana’s senior leadership experience building large businesses in the apartment and single-family rental industries brings a valuable asset to Howard Hughes as the company continues to expand within these market sectors to meet the growing demand for housing solutions,” said Scot Sellers, Chairman of the Board of Howard Hughes. “With her proven track record of innovation and value creation, Dana is an excellent addition to the HHH board.” 

Ms. Hamilton recently retired from Pretium, where she was a Senior Managing Director and Head of Real Estate, where she oversaw more than $30 billion in real estate assets and chaired the company’s Real Estate Investment Committee. She spent nearly 20 years at Archstone, one of the largest apartment companies in the U.S. and Europe, where as President of European Operations she established a highly effective fund and asset management platform introducing technology, innovation and customer focus to a German residential industry that had been largely static for more than 40 years. Over the course of her career, Ms. Hamilton has worked closely with institutional investors and financial institutions worldwide to fund the growth and development of high-quality homes and communities.

Ms. Hamilton is a long-time public company board member with committee experience that includes Executive, Nominating and Government, and Audit and Risk Management. She recently joined the board of Opendoor, the nation’s largest e-commerce platform for residential real estate. As a member of the board of Life Storage, Inc., Ms. Hamilton helped guide the company during a period of significant growth, transformation and shareholder value creation. 

“As we accelerate the development pipeline across our portfolio and focus on the considerable opportunities for value creation within our communities, Dana’s extensive experience driving growth and expansion within our industry will be a tremendous resource and we are thrilled to welcome her to Howard Hughes,” said David R. O’Reilly, Chief Executive Officer of Howard Hughes.

Ms. Hamilton earned a BA in Public Policy from Stanford University and an MBA in Real Estate and Finance from the Haas School of Business at the University of California at Berkeley. She is also a graduate of Harvard Business School’s Presidents’ Program.
