Kathy Klein Vice President Corporate Communications 301/998-8211 FEDERAL REALTY INVESTMENT TRUST ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 1999 OPERATING RESULTS July 28, 1999 Rockville, Maryland Federal Realty Investment Trust (NYSE:FRT) reported today that funds from operations for the second quarter of 1999 increased 16% to $24.2 million from $20.9 million in the second quarter of 1998. On a per share basis, funds from operations rose 15% to $.60 in the second quarter of 1999 from $.52 in the comparable quarter of 1998. A comparison of property operations for the second quarter of 1999 versus the second quarter of 1998 shows the following: . Rental income increased 10% to $59.7 million in 1999 from $54.1 million in 1998. When adjusted to exclude properties acquired and sold during 1998 and 1999, rental income increased 4% to $55.9 million in 1999 from $53.9 million in 1998. . Net operating income increased 10% to $43.9 million in 1999 from $40.0 million in 1998. On a same center basis, net operating income increased 4% to $40.1 million in 1999 from $38.7 million in 1998. Same center growth was muted in the period by write-offs associated with the Cosmetic Center bankruptcy and by the operational disruption of several properties under redevelopment. . During the second quarter of 1999, the Trust signed leases for a total 249,000 square feet of retail space. On a same space basis, the Trust re-leased 237,000 square feet of retail space at an average increase in rent per square foot of 20%. The weighted average rent on these leases was $21.70 per square foot compared to the previous average rent of $18.03 per square foot. . Same property occupancy stood at 95% at both June 30, 1999 and 1998. At June 30, 1999, the Trust's overall portfolio was 95% leased compared to 95% a year ago. E-7

Also during the quarter, the Trust recorded a $7 million charge representing the estimated loss on the potential sale of certain assets, principally Northeast Plaza in Atlanta, Georgia. Portfolio-wide occupancy levels would increase to 96% if the sale of Northeast Plaza were successful. Funds from operations also improved for the first six months of 1999 increasing 14% to $47.9 million from $42.2 million in the first half of 1998. On a per share basis, funds from operations advanced 12% to $1.18 per share for the first six months of 1999 compared to $1.05 for the comparable period of 1998. Commenting on the results, Steven Guttman, President and Chief Executive Officer stated, "We are pleased with the strong pace of FFO growth through the first half of 1999. Our core portfolio continues to generate solid rental income growth, which combined with tight operating expense control is producing improved profitability. We remain enthused about our current development pipeline and see many opportunities to develop unique mixed use main street assets that meet our long term growth goals."
