FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: May 8, 2001 Andrew Blocher Vice President, Investor Relations & Finance (301) 998-8166 FEDERAL REALTY INVESTMENT TRUST ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2001 OPERATING RESULTS ROCKVILLE, MD (May 8, 2001) - Federal Realty Investment Trust (NYSE:FRT) today reported operating results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2001. . Funds from operations (FFO) increased 6.5% to $0.66 per diluted share . Continued progress at both Pentagon Row and Santana Row Financial Results - ----------------- Funds from operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 increased 5.2 % to $26.4 million from $25.1 million for the first quarter of 2000. On a per diluted share basis, funds from operations increased 6.5% from $0.62 in 2000 to $0.66 in 2001. Net operating income, which includes interest income from mortgage notes receivable, was $50.0 million, a 4.2% increase from the $48.0 million reported for 2000. "We're pleased with the strong operating performance we continue to see from our core properties; both shopping centers and main street assets," commented Steven J. Guttman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Federal Realty. "In addition, we made significant progress in the financing, construction and leasing of our main street development properties so far this year. We are well on our way to meeting analyst consensus FFO expectations of $2.65 per share in 2001." Portfolio Results - ----------------- For the first quarter, rental income increased from $64.2 million in 2000 to $67.1 million in 2001, a 4.5% increase. On a same-center basis, which ignores the impact of properties acquired, developed or sold during the analyzed periods, rental income increased 6.5% from $62.0 million to $66.0 million. The strong growth E-8

of same-center rental income was the leading factor driving improvements in both net operating income and funds from operations. During the first quarter, the Trust signed leases for nearly 400,000 square feet of retail and office space. On a comparable space basis, the Trust re-leased 280,916 square feet at an average increase in rent per square foot of 19%. The weighted-average rent on these same space leases was $20.97 per square foot compared to the previous average rent of $17.64 per square foot. At March 31, 2001, overall occupancy remained strong at 95.4%, versus 95.3% reported for March 31, 2000. Development Activities - ---------------------- At Pentagon Row, in Arlington, Virginia, the Trust continues to make progress with construction. Bed, Bath and Beyond, an anchor for the development, opened for business on April 6, 2001. Current expectations call for Building A's other retail tenant, a state-of-the art Harris Teeter grocery store, to open this summer. Buildings B and C are scheduled to open in the third quarter, and a fourth quarter opening is currently expected for Building D. Leasing remains strong at Santana Row, the Trust's pedestrian-friendly, mixed- use community in the heart of San Jose, California. To date, executed leases and signed letters of intent account for approximately 250,000 square feet of Phase I retail space. In addition, the Trust recently announced a signed ground lease with Hotel Valencia group who will build a 214-room boutique hotel at the center of Santana Row, and the closing of a $295 million construction loan for the first phase of the project. Construction at Santana Row continues on schedule, with Phase I expected to begin opening in mid-2002.
