Sales Growth Should Remain Strong for Simon's Class A Malls

Simon Property Group, the largest mall real estate investment trust, manages one of the top retail portfolios in the country. It owns and operates Class A traditional regional malls and premium outlets in markets with dense populations and high incomes; these malls frequently have domestic or international tourist appeal. The high-quality properties will continue to provide consumers with unique shopping experiences that are hard to replicate elsewhere, and as a result, we think Simon's portfolio will be sought after by retailers that are increasingly pursuing an omnichannel strategy.
