Investment Sales Strategy

This non-core asset sale reflects the competitive investment sales market in San Francisco,” said Jeff Berkes, West Coast president of Federal Realty, in a prepared statement. “We continue to evaluate non-strategic disposition opportunities within our portfolio as the transaction markets for well-located assets remains strong.

The sale of 150 Post Street further exemplifies our balanced and disciplined approach to our balance sheet and capital funding needs,” added Dan Guglielmone, CFO & treasurer. “Year-to-date we have completed $123 million of dispositions.”

Recently, the company expanded its presence with the $107 million purchase of a grocery-anchored shopping center located in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood. Federal Realty’s total portfolio consists of 105 properties totaling approximately 24 million square feet and more than 1,800 residential units.
