Proven Investment Approach

        Value-oriented, counter-cyclical investors

        Specialize in executing multi-faceted transactions that allow
        us to acquire high-quality assets at a discount to replacement cost

        Leverage our business units and operational expertise to enhance the
        value of our investments

        Flexibility to allocate capital to the sectors and geographies with the
        best risk-adjusted returns at various points in the real estate cycle

        Continually recycle capital from stabilized assets to higher-
        yielding opportunities in order to build long-term value for unitholders

                                                                                   8
Brookfield Property Partners
Conservative Financing Strategy

•    We finance our investments predominantly with asset-level, non-recourse debt

•    We raise debt in local currency with primarily fixed interest rates

•    We source the lowest-cost capital to fund growth
      ‒ Recycle capital from stabilized assets
      ‒ Consider issuing equity if expected returns exceed our cost of capital

•    We target a distribution payout ratio of 80% of Company Funds From Operations (“CFFO”)
     which combined with realized gains from our LP investments allows us to retain sufficient cash
     flow for tenant improvements, leasing costs and organic growth

•    Our investment-grade corporate credit rating provides financing flexibility

    The quality and diversification of our assets support our target of achieving long-term
                         proportionate debt-to-capital of up to 50%

                                                                                                      9

Class A+ Shopping Centers

•     Our class A+ mall portfolio represents approximately 8% of the high-quality retail
      space in the United States, including 3 of the top 5 assets.1 Although total retail
      space in the U.S. is likely to contract in the coming years, high-quality malls continue to
      demonstrate meaningful outperformance and serve as the centerpiece of all retail
      activity in the U.S.

•     The declining performance of traditional department stores has created opportunities to
      recapture square footage within our existing centers and improve their productivity by
      introducing more dining, entertainment and fitness venues as well as e-retailer ‘pop-up’
      and permanent stores.

•     Development and redevelopment initiatives in our core retail portfolio total
      $1.7 billion of which $1.2 billion is currently under construction with a further $500 million
      in the pipeline. The projects have expected ROIs of between 6-8%.

       Inserting new technology into our malls has been a major driver to elevate the
         shopping experience – from retail and dining to entertainment and leisure

Developments and Redevelopments

                                  32
Development Strategy

•   We opportunistically pursue developments to:
     ‒ Earn premium risk-adjusted returns compared to acquisitions (~200-250 bps spread)
     ‒ Upgrade our portfolio with new, trophy assets in key strategic markets

•   Development strategy seeks to limit risk:
     ‒ Typically secure anchor leases for 40% ‒ 50% of space before launching project
     ‒ Execute guaranteed maximum price contracts to reduce construction risk
     ‒ Bring in JV partners once project is substantially de-risked
     ‒ Limit developments to less than 10% of total assets

•   Prominent, large-scale projects primarily in the high-growth markets of London and New York
    City

•   Active office and multifamily projects expected to produce approximately $320 million of
    incremental NOI upon completion

Redevelopment Strategy

        We leverage our affiliated design, construction, operations, leasing and
        real estate management teams to perform a 360-degree assessment
                of a property’s refurbishment and repositioning potential

              We time our initial capital investment to maximize returns
               (e.g. upon an anchor tenant’s relocation announcement)

               We are able to charge higher rents and subsequently
       earn higher returns on our investment following the repositioning effort

   Our integrated capabilities provide the opportunity to redevelop high-quality,
         well-located assets that have leasing challenges or CapEx needs

                                                                                    37
