Description: UE Urban Edge Properties January 13, 2026
Urban Edge Properties (NYSE: UE) is a retail-focused REIT that acquires, develops, and manages urban-core shopping centers along the Washington, D.C.-Boston corridor. The portfolio comprises 73 properties with roughly 17.2 million sq ft of gross leasable area, concentrating on high-density neighborhoods where foot traffic and mixed-use demand tend to be more resilient than suburban malls.
Key operating metrics that investors watch include an occupancy rate that has hovered around 93 % in the most recent quarter and an average lease term of 7.5 years, providing relative cash-flow stability. The corridor benefits from strong demographic trends-population growth of about 1.2 % annually and rising median household incomes-while the broader Retail REIT sector is currently pressured by elevated cap rates (≈6.5 % for urban assets) and a tightening credit environment.
