Chicago-Based Mall Developer is $30B in Debt

The Washington Post has details on how General Growth is trying to avoid bankruptcy. The paper notes that if the company fails -- and it seems almost impossible that it won't -- it "would be among the largest real estate downfalls in U.S. history."

The developer has malls in almost every state and has been in business for half a century.
