A Portfolio of Possibilities
The Urban Edge portfolio of shopping centers, located primarily in the supply constrained corridor between Washington D.C. and Boston, creates value for our retail partners through leasing, redevelopment, and first-class property management. We’re responsible for more than 75 properties and over 17 million square feet of gross leasable area.
Our strategic plan is focused on improving retail real estate and making a positive impact on the communities we serve. We believe that value comes from something far more meaningful than size and growth. Value comes not from how much we do, but why and how we do it.
