Urban Edge Properties (NYSE:UE) (NYSE:UE) is a real estate investment trust specializing in the ownership, management and redevelopment of grocery-anchored, open-air shopping centers. The company focuses on meeting the everyday needs of consumers by providing well-located retail destinations that combine national and regional grocers with service-oriented tenants. Through targeted leasing and hands-on asset management, Urban Edge aims to create vibrant community hubs that support long-term value creation for its stakeholders.
The company’s portfolio spans major metropolitan and suburban markets across the United States, including the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Florida and select West Coast regions. Urban Edge’s holdings feature a diverse mix of shopping centers anchored by leading supermarket brands, drugstores, fitness operators and specialty retailers. By concentrating on densely populated corridors and established neighborhoods, the firm leverages its expertise in retail real estate to drive occupancy, rent growth and customer traffic.
Formed in mid-2018 as a spin-off from a larger real estate platform, Urban Edge Properties built on decades of retail property experience to establish an independent, publicly traded entity. Since its inception, the company has pursued disciplined capital deployment through strategic acquisitions, selective redevelopment projects and proactive disposition of non-core assets. This approach has enabled Urban Edge to maintain a balanced portfolio and adapt to evolving consumer behaviors and retail trends.
Urban Edge is led by a senior management team with deep industry knowledge and operational expertise. The executive leadership, including Chief Executive Officer Michael P. Landy and Chief Financial Officer Lisa J. Steckel, is supported by cross-functional teams in leasing, development, legal and finance. Guided by a commitment to sustainability, community engagement and responsible governance, the firm continues to refine its platform to deliver consistent, long-term performance in the retail real estate sector.
