Howard Hughes Corporation Acquires Approx. 1.4 Million Square Feet of Premium Office Space and Additional Land from Occidental

THE WOODLANDS, TX – The Howard Hughes Corporation ® (NYSE:HHC) announced
today the acquisition of two Class AAA office towers, warehouse space and developable land in The
Woodlands ®, Texas, from Occidental (NYSE: OXY), providing The Howard Hughes Corporation with highly
sought-after, premium office space that will enable The Howard Hughes Corporation to meet ongoing
demand in the market. The acquisition increases The Howard Hughes Corporation’s office portfolio
within the award-winning master planned community (MPC) by approximately 50%, and reinforces The
Howard Hughes Corporation’s standing as the community’s steward and largest stakeholder.

The $565 million transaction also includes the acquisition of Occidental’s Century Park campus in the
West Houston Energy Corridor—a 63-acre, 1.3-million-square-foot campus with 17 office
buildings—which The Howard Hughes Corporation will immediately remarket, in line with its recently
announced commitment to sell non-core properties and to focus resources into the growth of its core
business of MPCs.

In The Woodlands, The Howard Hughes Corporation's acquisition includes the two Class AAA towers
rebranded as The Woodlands Towers at The Waterway , which total approximately 1.4 million square
feet of office space, and a 125,000-square-foot warehouse. The acquisition also includes 9.3 acres of
prime, developable land located in The Woodlands Town Center® bordering The Woodlands Waterway®
and fronting Interstate 45 North, providing the opportunity for meaningful future commercial
development in the heart of The Woodlands.

“The Howard Hughes Corporation is defined by a steadfast commitment to our master planned
communities, which across the country are consistently ranked among the best places to live, work and
discover, allowing leading corporations to attract and retain today’s top talent,” said Paul Layne, Chief
Executive Officer of The Howard Hughes Corporation. “This acquisition of Class AAA office space in The
Woodlands Towers at The Waterway, as well as the additional property in The Woodlands, further
expands our existing portfolio in this market where our 2.5-million-square-feet office portfolio is
currently 94% leased, allowing us to respond to the growing need for premium office space as
companies are looking to relocate and expand within The Woodlands.”

Occidental will continue its presence at The Woodlands Towers at The Waterway, and will lease back
100% of the larger, approximately 808,000-square-foot tower at 1201 Lake Robbins Drive and 100% of
the warehouse for 13 years.

“The sale of office complexes in the Houston Energy Corridor and The Woodlands is part of our plan to
divest non-core assets and continue to improve the strength of our balance sheet,” said Occidental
President and CEO Vicki Hollub. “It was important to us, and many of our employees, to maintain a
presence in The Woodlands and we are pleased to have signed a 13-year lease to remain in the
community.”

The Howard Hughes Corporation will also be growing its own presence in The Woodlands, relocating its
corporate headquarters into the approximately 595,000-square-foot tower at 9950 Woodloch Forest
Drive. 'We unequivocally believe that The Woodlands is the greatest destination in Texas for any
company seeking to relocate or grow, and we look forward to contributing to the continued expansion
of the business community as we relocate our headquarters from Dallas to The Woodlands Towers at
The Waterway,' said Mr. Layne.

“These iconic towers have long been a beacon at the entry to The Woodlands Town Center and The
Howard Hughes Corporation is extremely proud to bring them into our portfolio,” said Jim Carman,
President, Houston Region for The Howard Hughes Corporation. “The Woodlands offers a vibrant
lifestyle, a strong workforce, highly-acclaimed schools, and unparalleled amenities including hiking trails,
parks, and open spaces while focusing on health and wellness.”
