Summary

The Washington Prime Group preferred stocks, WPG-H and WPG-I, are some of the most robust preferred stocks out there due to their relative small size on WPG's balance sheet.

They enjoy a dividend coverage of 25 times and an asset coverage of 10 times. The large PFF iShares US Preferred Stock ETF is going through a re-positioning of switching the index it tracks. It is selling WPG-H preferred stock holdings.

Both preferred shares are significantly undervalued today due to PFF selling shares. They offer income investors a 10% yield plus 30% to 40% upside potential. WPG-H and WPG-I offer an opportunity for income-focused investors to lock in a 10% yield for many years that enjoy an enormous coverage through both cash flow and assets.

(I wrote on 3/20):

I Sold the Oct.$7  Put  & Bought Apr.$4 Calls for  small debit, of less than 10 cents

I intend to exercise the Apr.$4 Calls, and collect the May Quarterly dividend

 

My cost to collect the $0.21 / Qtr. and $0.84 pa. dividend will be a little over $4.00 (ie, that is a Div. yield > 20%)

Until October,  when I will have to face possible exercise of the Puts. With luck, PEI may be above that level then.

If not, I can sell some of my PEI shares to cover buying back the $7 Put.

Fashion District Philadelphia: Everything that’ll be open at launch of the former Gallery Mall

Fashion District: “We expect the Mall to stabiliize at $700 per sqft” - 44 minutes, Q2 Call

Total retail floor area‎: ‎1,080,002 sq ft > wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fashion_District_Philadelphia

More than 50 vendors are in the lineup, including a handful of locals.

Updated July 31

It’s taken $400 million and four years of patience, but Fashion District Philadelphia is now visible on the horizon. The long-awaited Gallery Mall replacement, first approved back in the Nutter era, will open its doors on Sept. 19.

The ambitious renovation — which exploded construction in all directions in its quest to revitalize the area (including into the below ground commuter concourse) — was initially projected to launch in November 2018. As that date came and went, Gallery 2.0 started to seem like more of a fever dream than actual impending reality.

But lo and behold, we’re now just a few months out. PREIT, which also operates malls in Cherry Hill, Springfield, Plymouth Meeting and other locations, told the Inquirer it hopes the project will eventually rival Rittenhouse Row as a shopping destination. To bolster the claim, the company released a list of 50-plus incoming vendors set to liven up East Market Street.

Spanning everything from retail to restaurant to interactive art display, the majority of storefronts are national chains, plus several local shops in a “Uniquely Philly” section. The entertainment portion of the space won’t be ready until a few months later, with additional storefronts also promised over the next few years.

Here’s everything you’ll find at “The District” when it launches this fall.

Hadas Kuznits/KYW Newsradio

PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — The mall on Market Street known as "The Fashion District" is preparing to open its doors next month. 

 

Erika Joy Erb, director of marketing with the Fashion District Philadelphia says their official opening date of September 19 is set.

"We've been under construction for about three years now, since 2015 and we're really excited to introduce all the fun things we have coming up on September 19," she said.

'The District' as she calls it, will be a mall across three blocks of Market Street near 10th Street, where The Gallery used to be.

Some of the stores, Erb says, include Nike, H&M, Samsonite, Sunglass Hut, Columbia, Levis, Ulta Beauty.

Hadas Kuznits/KYW Newsradio

There will also be a food court, entertainment, and some of the entertainment establishments and other business, she says, will open separately after the official opening.

"AMC and Round One, they're slated to open in November,” she explained. “Wonder Spaces is slated to open in December of this year. Then there will be a year-long series of additional tenants that will come on board in 2019 and 2020."

Improved tenant mix and physical enhancements drive improved results

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 4, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- PREIT (PEI) Following a multi-year remerchandising effort, PREIT's Mall at Prince George's ("MPG") emerges as a marker of success in the Company's redevelopment efforts.

View photos

 

Located just outside of Washington DC, the property is perfectly situated to benefit from growth in the region, along the Metro line and approximately 15 miles from Amazon HQ2 in Crystal City.  In densely populated Hyattsville, MD, MPG is surrounded by a growing trade area where household incomes exceed the US average by over 15 percent. Nearly $1 billion has been invested in the region over the past several years on high quality housing and office development, underscoring the immense potential for a growing shopper community. With strong demographics and high demand for retail, the renovations will ultimately further differentiate MPG in the market and solidify its position as a vibrant retail and dining destination in the region.

Over the remerchandising period, notable improvements in operating metrics include:

• Over a dozen new tenants joined the roster including H&M, Ulta, DSW, Express Factory Outlet, Five Below, Flight 23, Grand Jewelers featuring Alex and Ani and Pandora, White Barn Candle and Pink by Victoria's Secret along with several new dining options: Chipotle, Five Guys, Mezeh Mediterranean Grill and &Pizza.
• Sales have increased over $100 per square foot or 23% since December 2016 to $557 per square foot, outpacing our portfolio growth rate of 15% over the same period.
• Traffic has improved over 20% for the rolling 12 month period ended 7/31/19 compared to the prior 12 month period.
• NOI has also grown by over 20% since the beginning of the redevelopment and occupancy has been steady at 98%.

Looking forward, changes on the horizon include additional new-to-market dining options: Hook & Reel and Miller's Ale House.

"The work we have done in creating value at Mall at Prince George's is indicative of the anticipated results throughout PREIT's portfolio," said Joseph F. Coradino, CEO of PREIT. "Curating diverse offerings across multiple categories is key to success as this business evolves. Having moved quickly to replace department stores and repositioning our portfolio of well-located assets in dense, growing markets, PREIT is well-positioned to increase value to our shoppers, tenants and shareholders as our redevelopments are completed."

How Mall Operator Pennsylvania REIT Has Weathered the Retail Apocalypse

Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust (NYSE: PEI) or PREIT, has been hit particularly hard by the wave of retail bankruptcies commonly referred to as the retail apocalypse. It's a shopping mall operator with ownership interests in properties across the United States, and significant exposure to chains including Sears Holdings, Macy's, and J.C. Penney. As such, it's had to use creative means to adjust for the current retail reality.

Selling lower-quality real estate

Shareholders may have caught a lucky break. Back in 2012, a new management team took control and had the foresight to divest its lower-value mall assets. The idea was to focus on properties with higher sales per square foot, which are more attractive to retailers and can garner better rental rates.

When this divestment process started in 2013, PREIT managed 38 malls with average sales per square foot of $379. After years of selling properties, the company now manages 21 properties with average sales per square foot of $525.

It still lists three malls as "noncore" and could also sell these assets in part or whole. It owns the Valley View Mall and the Wyoming Valley Mall in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, which both have significant vacancies that it has been unable to fill, and the Exton Square Mall in Exton, Pennsylvania, where it was able to sell a land parcel to be developed into an apartment complex. Given the poor state of these three malls, it is also possible that they will just be written off or abandoned entirely.

Pennsylvania REIT has actively managed its portfolio to adjust to where it sees the most value accruing. Shareholders should continue to expect the company to monetize its assets through a sale where it can.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 4, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- PREIT (NYSE: PEI) today announces robust results at its key redevelopment projects to jumpstart the holiday shopping season.  PREIT's long-term transformation plan culminated with the opening this past fall of three major projects: Fashion District Philadelphia, Woodland Mall and Plymouth Meeting Mall.  The multi-year plan encompassed low-productivity asset dispositions, anchor repositioning and high-impact redevelopment and remerchandising initiatives, laying the groundwork for earnings growth and portfolio strength in the new paradigm for retail. 

 

Fashion District – Philadelphia, PA
In just over two months since opening, Fashion District has welcomed over 2 million visitors, an achievement for a property marching toward stabilization.  Upcoming openings of key destination tenants, including Round 1, Wonderspaces, Primark and Sephora are likely to bolster these results.  This project, situated in an unrivaled location in Philadelphia, represents the newest generation of retail experiences encompassing dining, entertainment, immersive experiences and an array of retail spanning the quality and pricing spectrum.

Woodland Mall – Grand Rapids, MI
The opening of the highly-anticipated Woodland Mall expansion wing has been a resounding success.  Recent openings include high-impact tenants, many of which are exclusive and new-to-market such as Von Maur, Urban Outfitters, The Cheesecake Factory, Tricho Salon, Black Rock Bar & Grill. The new retailers further establish Woodland Mall as a dominant consumer destination complete with in-demand dining, high-quality retail and a blend of national and local tenants.  Traffic for the Black Friday weekend was up 29% over last year with many retailers reporting sales in excess of their goals.

Plymouth Meeting Mall – Plymouth Meeting, PA
As part of its ongoing anchor repositioning effort, PREIT welcomed new retail, dining and experiential concepts for consumers at Plymouth Meeting Mall. Most recently, Dick's Sporting Goods, Burlington, Miller's Ale House and Edge Fitness have opened their doors in the former Macy's space.  Benefitting from a bullseye location in the Philadelphia suburbs, traffic was up 24% over last year's Black Friday weekend.

"The work we have done in strengthening our portfolio continues to deliver exceptional results," said Joseph F. Coradino, CEO of PREIT. "We are excited to offer a refreshed experience to shoppers throughout our portfolio and are particularly pleased that they are intrigued by our highest profile redevelopment projects.  To experience this notable upswing in traffic at the properties where we've made significant investments is a testament to the strength of our strategy and the potential for a sustained, long-term impact on sales productivity and shareholder value."

Here are 20 REIT stocks with dividends expected to be well supported through 2025.

REITs have tax advantages -- income taxes are avoided at the corporate level if at least 90% of earnings are passed through to shareholders through dividend payments. So REITs are generally considered current-income investments. An investor hopes to see the dividend payouts increase over time. So the REITs listed below are sorted by dividend yield.

Paul McDowell’s business has seen happier days. He runs Orion Office REIT, a real estate company that owns 81 office properties with an 88% occupancy rate. But hybrid work has hurt profits and demand for new offices. Since going public in late 2021, Orion’s stock is down 74%. 

• “Being in the office sector is not necessarily the easiest place to be,” Orion’s (ticker: ONL) McDowell told a recent investing conference in New York, looking at his sparse audience. 

  The great debate in real estate is whether the vacant office buildings in many cities will ever refill. Office vacancy has reached nearly 25% in cities like San Francisco and Chicago. Office real estate stocks are down 50% from pre-Covid highs, while the REIT sector has lost 9.5% in the past year against the S&P 500’s 14.5% gain.

  But offices are now just 3.4% of the $1 trillion public market for real estate investment trusts, or REITs. The broader REIT space isn’t as troubled. With valuations laid low, there are bargains amid the rubble.

  Paul McDowell’s business has seen happier days. He runs Orion Office REIT, a real estate company that owns 81 office properties with an 88% occupancy rate. But hybrid work has hurt profits and demand for new offices. Since going public in late 2021, Orion’s stock is down 74%. 

  “Being in the office sector is not necessarily the easiest place to be,” Orion’s (ticker: ONL) McDowell told a recent investing conference in New York, looking at his sparse audience. 

  The great debate in real estate is whether the vacant office buildings in many cities will ever refill. Office vacancy has reached nearly 25% in cities like San Francisco and Chicago. Office real estate stocks are down 50% from pre-Covid highs, while the REIT sector has lost 9.5% in the past year against the S&P 500’s 14.5% gain.

  But offices are now just 3.4% of the $1 trillion public market for real estate investment trusts, or REITs. The broader REIT space isn’t as troubled. With valuations laid low, there are bargains amid the rubble. 

  Some sectors are thriving, including warehouse/logistics properties and data centers. Apartment owners are enjoying healthy rental demand, as homebuyers stay sidelined by 6.5% mortgages with average monthly payments that have doubled to almost $3,000 since early 2022, according to Apollo Group chief economist Torsten Slok.

  Even the office space offers opportunities. Some Sunbelt and suburban areas are seeing healthy occupancy and rents. Office REITs, while troubled, are now deeply discounted. Hybrid work may be here to stay, but corporations are pushing workers to return. Recent data show job postings for remote jobs have flattened.

  The selloff has delivered cheaper valuations and higher dividend yields. REITs, which must pay out almost all taxable profits as dividends, are yielding an average 4.1%, roughly double that of the S&P 500. After a large correction, REITs also look cheaper on measures of value such as the capitalization rate, or “cap rate”—which is like an earnings yield on rental properties. Cap rates now average nearly 7%, up from 5.5% before the pandemic, according to real estate analytics firm Green Street Advisors.
