PREIT and CBRE Join Forces to Chart New Future for Plymouth Meeting Mall

 Ideally-Situated Asset Create Opportunity for Vast Array of Uses

PREIT announced today that the Company has engaged CBRE to help execute its vision to bring a multitude of new uses to Plymouth Meeting Mall as the Company furthers its strategy of transforming its portfolio into multi-use destinations.

Located at the intersection of the Pennsylvania Turnpike, Interstate 476, and the Northeast Extension with over 90 million cars passing the property annually, Plymouth Meeting Mall offers a differentiated experience to an expanded trade area. The property counts among its offerings one of 9 LEGOLAND Discovery Center locations in the country; Whole Foods; Dave & Buster’s; a renovated AMC Movie Theatre; Cyclebar, an indoor cycling studio; five existing sit-down restaurants and quick service food options. Today, nearly half of the property’s space is dedicated to dining and entertainment, underscoring PREIT’s early adoption of these experiential offerings to reimagine the retail experience.

As part of its efforts to drive the quality of its portfolio and upgrade anchor spaces, Plymouth Meeting Mall has welcomed over 200,000 square feet of new retail, dining and experiential concepts to its tenant mix at Plymouth Meeting Mall recently, including: Dick’s Sporting Goods, Burlington, Miller’s Ale House, Edge Fitness, Michael’s, Sola Salon and Restore Hyperwellness & Cryotherapy, Ideal Image, Roll by Goodyear and Plymouth Performing Arts. Upon opening in early February, Shake Shack will become the newest addition to this dynamic roster.

“PREIT has retained the broad enterprise resources of CBRE to source development and investment partners in non-retail sectors including life sciences, biotech, education and others as well as conventional office users that will take advantage of the region-leading location, access, and strong retail amenity base,” according to Steven Gartner, Executive Vice President of CBRE, who’s leading the company’s multidisciplinary team.

“Through smart integration of non-retail uses alongside our array of retail segments and entertainment, dining, grocery, wellness and fitness, PREIT is committed to its plan to maximize the value of its distinctive real estate portfolio through the introduction of the highest and best uses available across its portfolio,” said Joseph F. Coradino, CEO of PREIT.

This effort complements PREIT’s multi-use destination effort already underway. Plymouth Meeting Mall is expected to benefit from the plan to diversify the mix of uses at its mall sites to produce a broader consumer base, create stronger business models and provide greater market flexibility. Like many of PREIT’s Philadelphia and DC-area properties, Plymouth Meeting Mall is ideally situated for a new mix of uses with tremendous access to roadways and an amenity-rich platform.

Coradino continued, “Our foresight has shaped a high-quality real estate portfolio with a strong retail core that attracts a distinctive mix of new uses to redefine the future-ready retail and leisure district. The synergistic additions of office users will benefit our existing tenants and communities by increasing visits to the property and delivering a new customer.”
