THE WOODLANDS (June 24, 2014) – Executives from The Howard Hughes Corporation® (NYSE: HHC) and its wholly-owned subsidiary The Woodlands Development Company joined Whole Foods Market® as it broke ground on construction of a 40,000-square-foot store in Hughes Landing on Lake Woodlands on Monday, June 23.
