Thanks, Joe, and good morning, everyone. I'm going to start with a quick overview of the quarter and some highlights for Howard Hughes communities. Carlos will walk through guidance in our cash flow outlook before handing it over to Bill and Ryan to share updates on our holding company strategy. We delivered another strong quarter across every business segment, underscoring the strength of our real estate platform and the value of our transformation into a diversified holding company. Starting with our MPC segment, We had a record quarter, generating 205 million in EBT, driven by strong land sales in Summerlin. We sold 319 acres at roughly $795,000 an acre. That included a single 231-acre bulk sale of raw, undeveloped land, sold at a 75% margin, but below our average price per acre since it required no upfront infrastructure. Excluding that one transaction, the rest of our land averaged about $1.7 million per acre. We earned more than $14.5 million in builder price participation, reflecting continued home price growth in Summerlin. In Bridgeland, land sales remain steady, and we're gearing up for the grand opening of Terra Vallis in Phoenix later this month. Model homes are open, builders are active, and momentum is strong at Florio. While broader national headlines point to slower home sales, we're once again seeing the opposite in our communities, delivering strong results to counter current headlines. Our perpetual cycle of value creation and self-funding model, combined with limited competition, continues to give us a major edge. As a result, we expect to finish the year with record high residential land sales, record pricing, and a record full-year MPC EBT. Given this performance, we're once again raising our full-year MPC guidance. Moving to operating assets, NOI grew 5% year-over-year to $68 million, driven by leasing momentum across the portfolio. Office NOI was up 7% thanks to strong activity in Columbia and the expiration of some large abatements. We signed 55,000 square feet of new or expanded office leases, and the stabilized office portfolio ended the quarter 89% leased. Multifamily NOI grew 2% as new projects in Summerlin and Bridgeland continued leasing ahead of plan. Our stabilized multifamily portfolio is now 96% leased. Retail NOI was up 9% year-over-year, led by great performance at Ward Village and Merriweather District. our stabilized retail portfolio remains above 90% lease. Turning to strategic developments, we reached a new record with $1.4 billion in condo pre-sales, led by Malia and Aleema, our 12th and 13th towers at Ward Village. Both are off to an incredible start and already collectively 57% pre-sold. The Lanoue in Ward Village and the Rich Carlton Residences in the Woodlands are now 68% and 74% pre-sold respectively. Beyond condo sales, we broke ground on the Memorial Hermann Medical Office building in Bridgeland, the first step in what we expect will become a one million square foot medical district. And right after quarter end, we completed One Viva Row, a 268 unit luxury multifamily property along the Woodlands Waterway. That project sets a new bar for multifamily living in the area and will meaningfully contribute to NOI when stabilized. What's most exciting is how the cash flow generated across our communities is reinvested right back into value-creating developments. Projects like Aleema and Malia at Ward Village or One Riva Row in the Woodlands Each one is a perfect example of how we recycle capital to grow both future cash flows and long-term net asset value across our portfolio. It's been a busy and rewarding quarter across Howard Hughes communities, and I couldn't be prouder of how our teams continue to execute. With that, I'll hand it over to Carlos.
