Federal Realty is a proven leader in the ownership, operation, development, and redevelopment of premium retail-based real estate in the country's best markets.  We are an innovative and dynamic real estate company that owns and manages a best-in-class portfolio of community shopping centers and mixed-use properties.  While Federal Realty is one of the largest publicly traded real estate investment trusts in the country, as measured by the value of our assets, we're functionally a small company by most standards and we operate that way.  Team members with initiative and proven ability get involved in many facets of executing Federal’s business plan.
