YOu could do this (if I understood correctly):

View 'someview' contains this link:

$atts = array(
              'width'      => '800',
              'height'     => '500',
              'scrollbars' => 'yes',
              'status'     => 'yes',
              'resizable'  => 'yes',
            );
echo anchor_popup('mycontroller/mymethod','Click this for a popup',$atts);

(anchor_popup is a funcion in the URL helper, just autoload it, it's really useful)

in Controller 'mycontroller':

class Mycontroller extends CI_Controller {

    //function index()
    // other functions

    function mymethod() 
    {
      $this->load->model('mymodelforthis');
      $data['properties'] = $this->mymodelforthis->get_properties();
      $this->load->view('myview',$data);
    }
}

THen, in 'myview', you display $properties the way you want Hope this helps, lmk
