Urban Edge Properties is a real estate investment trust (REIT) that focuses on owning, managing, and developing retail real estate located in urban communities. The company's primary strategy is concentrated on properties within the Washington, D.C. to Boston corridor, with a significant presence in the metropolitan areas of New York, Boston, and Washington D.C. In addition to its core corridor, Urban Edge also owns properties in Puerto Rico. A key component of its business model involves the active acquisition, development, and redevelopment of its retail assets to enhance value.
Urban Edge Properties is currently executing a capital recycling strategy, actively rotating out of lower-growth or non-core real estate assets to redeploy capital into higher-yielding target markets through 1031 exchanges. The company's recent operational strategy also heavily centers on completing its signed-but-not-open lease pipeline and executing property-level redevelopment initiatives.
In early 2026, the company increased its annualized dividend by 10.5%, raising the quarterly payout from $0.19 to $0.21 per share.
