Low but Steady Growth Anticipated for Federal Realty's High-Quality Shopping Center Portfolio

Federal Realty is a retail-based real estate investment trust that focuses on owning and operating high-quality shopping centers and mixed-use assets in eight of the largest metropolitan areas. It has strategically acquired and developed assets in submarkets with strong demand drivers, creating a portfolio with average location population density and median household income higher than any other retail REIT. As a result, Federal Realty has been able to drive strong same-store net operating income growth and average double-digit re-leasing spreads over the past two decades. Its portfolio should continue to attract shoppers and tenants and produce solid internal growth even in a challenging retail environment.
