Building for Decades: Howard Hughes CEO on Master-Planned Communities & Strategy 

Host Raphael Sidelsky sits down with David O'Reilly, CEO of Howard Hughes Holdings, to discuss his path from engineering and investment banking to leading one of the country’s most innovative real estate platforms. The conversation explores the company’s master-planned community model, its long-term “flywheel” approach to development, and how projects like Summerlin and Ward Village create value over decades. David also shares insights on current market conditions, disciplined capital allocation, and the firm’s evolution toward a Berkshire Hathaway-style structure, including the potential role of insurance in scaling long-term growth.
