Kathy Klein Vice President Corporate Communications (301) 998-8211 FEDERAL REALTY INVESTMENT TRUST ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER OPERATING RESULTS October 29, 1997 Rockville, Maryland Federal Realty Investment Trust (NYSE:FRT) today reported funds from operations (FFO) of $20.0 million or $.51 per share, for the quarter ended September 30, 1997, compared to $17.2 million or $.50 per share for the same period last year.

A comparison of property operations for the third quarter of 1997 versus the third quarter of 1996 shows the following: . Rental income increased 13% to $46.1 million in 1997 from $40.9 million in 1996. When adjusted to exclude properties acquired and sold during 1996 and 1997, rental income increased 3% to $40.9 million in 1997 from $39.7 million in 1996. . During the third quarter of 1997, the Trust signed leases for a total 370,000 square feet. On a same space basis, the Trust re-leased 271,000 square feet at an average increase in rent per square foot of 13%. The weighted average rent on these leases was $16.12 per square foot compared to the previous average rent of $14.21 per square foot for the same spaces. . Same property occupancy stood at 95% at both September 30, 1997 and 1996. At September 30, 1997, the Trust's overall portfolio was 95% leased compared to 93% a year ago. Commenting on the quarter, Steven J. Guttman, President and Chief Executive Officer stated, "We are pleased with our strong results year-to-date. Federal's FFO performance through the first nine months of 1997 reflects the continued strength of the retail fundamentals at work in our core markets. Demand for our retail space remains strong and is fueling rental income growth and improved occupancies. In addition, we are pleased with our aggressive pace of acquisitions. Year-to-date our acquisition activity now totals approximately $146 million and is on pace for roughly $200 million in total closings by year end. We are also taking advantage of the strong real estate markets to dispose of non-core properties. So far in 1997, the Trust has sold three properties generating proceeds of approximately $22 million."
