The company's own about page states: "Founded in 1962, we are one of the oldest US REITs. We focus on the ownership, operation and development of high-quality retail properties—from grocery-anchored shopping centers to large-scale mixed-use neighborhoods." Its stated mission is "to deliver long-term, sustainable growth through investing in communities where retail demand exceeds supply." The company publishes portfolio scale as "103 properties, approximately 3,700 tenants, 28.8 million square feet, and 2,500 residential units," and says its properties are located in "nine major markets characterized by their superior demographics, high barriers to entry, and significant demand." The homepage confirms San Jose, California is one of the areas served, through the Santana Row property there. The company's headquarters address, published on its site, is 909 Rose Avenue, Suite 200, North Bethesda, MD 20852, phone (301) 998-8100. This is the company-wide headquarters, not a local office. The site does not publish current-quarter financial results, guidance, or investment performance figures on these pages; that information sits in the separate investor relations section and is not restated here. Nothing on the pages reviewed constitutes investment advice, a forecast, or a promise of future performance, and this document does not restate any dividend, occupancy, or earnings figures as current fact.

The San Jose office is listed with the address 356 Santana Row, Suite 1005, San Jose, CA 95128, and phone (408) 551-4600, as displayed in the page's visible contact text. This is the office serving the West Coast/San Jose area specifically and should not be confused with the company's Maryland headquarters or any other regional office. The contact page does not publish office hours for this or any office location, so no hours or appointment times are stated here. The primary way to reach the company through the site is a contact form asking for name, email, and message, with a dropdown for the subject of the inquiry (options include Acquisitions, Acquisitions (West Coast), Careers, General Inquiries, Investor Relations, Leasing, Media Inquiries, Specialty Leasing, and Sustainability). The presence of an "Acquisitions (West Coast)" category on the general contact form suggests West Coast-specific inquiries are routed through this form, though the site does not state that the San Jose office alone handles this category. No pricing, service costs, or availability information is published alongside this contact listing; anyone with a leasing or business inquiry is directed to use the contact form or call the listed phone number rather than being given rates or a quote on the page itself. Lists Federal and San Francisco as a location. Names Santa Fe, San Juan, United States, and Federal as a service area. Areas beyond these are not published. Source: https://www.federalrealty.com/contact/ ## Hours and contact Federal Realty's leasing section organizes inquiries into four categories. For retail, the site invites prospective tenants to "Join 3,500+ retailers who call a Federal Realty property home." For office space, it advertises "Premier office projects at the nation's best addresses," naming developments at Pike and Rose, CocoWalk, Assembly Row, and Santana Row. For residential, it offers "Inviting homes, state-of-the-art amenities, and coveted mixed-use locations." For specialty leasing, it offers "Flexible commitments tailored to you. Our many specialty leasing opportunities mean you can get the exposure you want — when you want it." The leasing pages do not publish rental rates, lease fees, a price list, a cost estimate, or specific space availability for any location, including Santana Row in San Jose. No square-footage-specific space, term length, or tenant qualification criteria is listed. Anyone wanting a quote, current rates, or to check what is currently available to lease must contact the company directly rather than reading it from the site; this document does not state that any particular space is available to lease. The way to start a leasing conversation, per the site, is the "Get in touch" contact form (name, email, phone number, and message) or the company's published phone number, 301.998.8100, at its North Bethesda, MD address. Email subscribers can also opt in to "get the latest on retail leasing opportunities delivered to your inbox," with California listed among the states offered for this mailing list, which the site frames as a way people are kept informed of leasing opportunities as they are published, not a guarantee of specific availability.

Property types The company focuses on: - Open-air grocery-anchored neighborhood centers - Community and power centers - Lifestyle centers - Collections of street retail - Properties suitable for long-term mixed-use redevelopment - Assets that may already include, or can accommodate, office or residential components Transaction structures Federal Realty states that it can structure transactions creatively to help meet a seller's estate and tax planning objectives. Examples mentioned on its site include: - Issuing operating partnership (OP) units - Assuming existing loans when the debt is uneconomic to retire at closing The site does not publish standard legal terms, timelines, or guarantees for any transaction structure; owners interested in selling property are directed to contact the acquisitions team directly. Typical size and scale For potential acquisitions, the company publishes the following guidelines: - Minimum gross leasable area: 75,000 square feet - Minimum investment: $25 million These are general criteria and not a promise that any given property will be acquired.

Examples listed on its acquisitions page include: - Mid-Atlantic: Washington, DC metro counties in Maryland and Virginia - Northeast: Boston, New York, and Philadelphia metro areas, including specified counties in CT, NY, NJ, and PA - Western Region: Northern California (including San Francisco, Santa Clara, San Mateo, Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, and Monterey Counties) and Southern California (Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, and Ventura Counties), including a joint-venture focus on dense, urban, predominantly Latino sub-markets in Southern California through Primestor - Southeast: Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Atlanta, Nashville, and North Carolina (Research Triangle and Charlotte) metro areas - Midwest: Chicago, Kansas City, and Omaha metro areas - Southwest: Dallas–Fort Worth, Houston, Austin, and Phoenix metro areas The site presents these as the primary focus areas for new acquisitions, not as an exhaustive list of every US market the company will ever consider. Acquisitions contacts The acquisitions page lists example leadership contacts, including: - East Coast acquisitions: Barry Carty, Senior Vice President, East Coast Acquisitions (email and phone published on the site) - West Coast acquisitions: Bob Franz, Vice President, West Coast Acquisitions (email and phone published on the site) Anyone with a potential acquisition opportunity is directed to reach out to the appropriate regional contact using the email address or phone number published on Federal Realty's website. No acquisition pricing formulas, cap rate thresholds, or return targets are published on the pages reviewed; this document does not restate any acquisition terms beyond the public size and market guidelines above.

Source: https://www.federalrealty.com ## Office Space at Santana Row Among Federal Realty's Class-A office developments, the site names "The Offices at Santana Row" in San Jose, describing it as: "Just steps away from a world-class combination of amenities for health and wellness, entertainment, dining and business—all in one remarkable setting." This sits alongside three other named office developments on the same page: The Offices at Pike and Rose (North Bethesda, MD, described as "in the heart of the Pike District" and home to the company's national headquarters), The Offices at CocoWalk (Coconut Grove, FL), and The Offices at Assembly Row (Somerville, MA area). The page states the company's office portfolio overall totals "Over 2.2 million square feet of office space with more underway," but does not break this figure down by individual property, so no separate square footage is published for the Santana Row office component specifically. The page frames these as "Destinations for the modern workforce" offering "the campus experience, amenities, access, and building design that caters to today and tomorrow's talent." No office lease rates, fees, specific suite availability, or lease terms for The Offices at Santana Row are published on this page. Interested parties are directed to a "Get in Touch" contact prompt rather than a listed price or booking system; this document does not state that office space at Santana Row is currently available to lease, only that the development exists and is marketed as an office destination.
