Ladies and Gentlemen:

We refer to the registration statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-170074) (the “Registration Statement”), of The Howard Hughes Corporation (the “Company”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”).

In accordance with Rule 461 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, we hereby respectfully request the acceleration of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement so that it may become effective on Friday, November 12, 2010 at 4:30 p.m. or as soon as practicable thereafter.

The Company acknowledges the following:

·should the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing.

·the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the Company from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and

·the Company may not assert staff comments and the declaration of effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.

Please call Matthew Bloch at (212) 310-8165 or Heather Emmel at (212) 310-8849 of Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP to confirm the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.
