Phillips Edison & Co Inc
Investor Relations

In the bustling landscape of commercial real estate, Phillips Edison & Co. Inc. has carved a distinctive niche as a formidable player specializing in grocery-anchored shopping centers. Founded in 1991 by real estate veterans Michael Phillips and Jeffrey Edison, the company has grown into one of the nation’s leading owners and operators of these retail havens. Their core business model revolves around the acquisition, development, and management of shopping centers where grocery stores serve as the primary driver of foot traffic. By focusing on essential goods, Phillips Edison & Co. ensures a steady stream of customers, which in turn supports surrounding retail tenants. This strategic emphasis on necessity-based retail anchors not only bolsters occupancy rates but also insulates the company from the volatility often seen in other sectors of the retail industry.

The company generates revenue by leasing retail spaces in its properties to a diverse mix of national and local tenants. This hybrid approach creates a resilient portfolio that balances stability with growth potential, as grocery-anchored centers frequently yield long-term leases and steady rental income. With a proactive management style, Phillips Edison & Co. continuously seeks value enhancement opportunities through property enhancements, tenant mix optimization, and strategic acquisitions. This holistic approach allows them to maintain competitive leasing rates and tenant satisfaction, ensuring a robust occupancy throughout their sprawling portfolio. By operating as an internally managed REIT, the company maximizes shareholder value by aligning the financial incentives of its management with those of its investors, a testament to its commitment to operational efficiency and sustainable profitability.
