Acadia Realty Trust (AKR) Well-Positioned for Street Retail Trend With 50% Exposure

June 26, 2014

Paul Adoranto, Senior Analyst at BMO Capital Markets, says Acadia Realty Trust (AKR) is a good play on the street-level retail trend.

“Street retail is not located in a regional mall or in a shopping center; these are the stores that you see on West Broadway in Manhattan or Fulton Street in Brooklyn or Lincoln Road in South Beach Miami. National and global retailers are very excited about locating in these places, because it allows them to create flagship stores that establish their brand concepts,” Adornato said.

Acadia is well-positioned in the movement in favor of street retail, having 50% or more exposure to this property type that will have better growth prospects over the long term,” Adornato said.
