Ackman did a big power point on why he is bullish on residential real estate, he and Berkowitz were co-investors in GGP...read the article on Berkowitz that calls him the brain of Miami and you will see that Ackman has his cellphone number.
if there is an acquisition, Ackman would be a logical partner here, esp with the profits from GGP and his view on res. real estate
