Samir Khanal has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Federal Realty’s strategic positioning and growth potential. The recent acquisition of Town Center Plaza and Crossing in Kansas City, located in one of the area’s most affluent communities, underscores FRT’s ability to make strategic investments that promise sustained growth. The median household income around these assets is notably higher than both FRT’s portfolio average and the broader shopping center REIT universe, indicating a strong consumer base.
Furthermore, early leasing activities at these properties show promising potential, with significant renewal and remerchandising spreads expected. The Leawood submarket, characterized by its affluence and unmet retail demand, presents a lucrative opportunity for FRT. The company’s track record of enhancing net operating income through strategic leasing and investment, combined with a Community Improvement District partnership to fund capital improvements, supports a positive outlook for growth into 2026. These factors collectively justify the Buy rating, with a price objective of $108.00 USD.
