Curbline Properties Second Quarter 2025 Investment Update

Curbline Properties Corp. (NYSE: CURB), an owner of convenience centers in suburban, high household income communities, announced today year to date investment activity in connection with presentations at NAREIT’s REITweek Investor Conference.

“Through May 31st, Curbline has closed on the acquisition of 21 convenience shopping centers for $182.5 million with almost $500 million of additional assets under contract or awarded with executed letters of intent,” commented David R. Lukes, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We continue to expect the majority of the pipeline to close over the next few months and remain encouraged by the opportunity set and depth of the addressable market for convenience centers as Curbline continues to execute on its business plan of scaling the first public real estate company focused exclusively on convenience properties.”
