PECO's Strategic Focus on Shadow-Anchored Centers and Unanchored Assets

PECO has been actively acquiring shadow-anchored centers, which now constitute about 7% of their portfolio, with plans to potentially increase this to below 10%.
Management views shadow-anchored centers as high-growth opportunities with stable, strong properties, especially in markets with strong grocers and traffic.
The company has acquired 11 unanchored assets, representing approximately 3.5% of the total portfolio, in markets like Minneapolis, Chicago, and Dallas.
PECO believes unanchored and shadow-anchored assets can deliver 50 to 100 basis points higher unlevered IRR compared to traditional grocery-anchored centers.
Rapid leasing activity in these unanchored assets has demonstrated the ability to quickly ramp up occupancy, often within months of acquisition.
This strategic shift aims to diversify the portfolio and capitalize on the strong demand for non-traditional retail locations driven by grocers and local retailers.
