Weinreb, Chief Executive Officer of The Howard Hughes Corporation. ?His impact within our organization is already apparent given his passion and drive, and in partnership with Dave Striph, our senior operations executive in Hawai?i, he will continue to create and execute a compelling vision for our developments in Hawai?i.?

As a Development Manager, Johnstone will manage various projects within the Ward Village master plan. Johnstone most recently worked for Kamehameha Schools where he helped reposition a wide variety of residential and retail assets on O?ahu.
In Randle?s role as Development Director, he will oversee projects within the Ward Village master plan. Most recently he worked with Forest City Hawai?i where he managed a number of efforts, including the development of Kamakana Village at Keahuolu, a 2,330-acre master planned, mixed-use and mixed-income affordable community in Kona. He also previously worked with Castle & Cooke Hawai?i.
?We are committed to Hawai?i for the long term and are excited to be building our local development team that will deliver on our mission to create timeless places in Hawai?i that are ideal for residents and visitors alike,? said David Striph, Senior Vice President for The Howard Hughes Corporation. ?Nick?s passion and drive will ensure that we continue to create a compelling vision for our projects and the development experience of Michael, Race and Doug will prove invaluable as we work to bring our plans to fruition.?
The Howard Hughes Corporation currently owns three properties in Hawai?i: ONE Ala Moana, Ward Centers and ranch land in Maui. ONE Ala Moana, the world class condominiums above Ala Moana Center which offer an ultra-luxury lifestyle to local and international residents, recently sold out. In October 2012, Howard Hughes - the largest private land owner in the Kaka?ako district - unveiled a vision for Ward Centers to become Ward Village. The 9.3 million square-foot, mixed-use development will reshape the area into a dynamic, urban master planned community, with more than 4,000 residential units and over one million square feet of upscale retail and other commercial space.
