1. We note, on page 98,
you indicate that you review properties for impairment and total
sales per square foot
can impact this assessment. Further, we note on page 60 you disclose
that you consider net
operating income to be a key operating measure. Please tell us if
management considers
comparable property NOI and sales per square foot to be key
operating measures. If
so, please include this disclosure in future Exchange Act periodic
reports and tell us how
you intend to present it. With respect to sales per square foot
please address, as
appropriate, the impact inflation has had on this metric.
We remind you that the company and its management are

and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments,
action or absence of
action by the staff.
