PNC Bank leased the last remaining office space at Santana West, validating demand for FRT's mixed-use office product and contributing to the asset being fully leased.
Evidence
“with the signing of a lease with PNC Bank a couple of weeks ago, for the last remaining 11,000 square feet, Santana West is officially 100% leased.”
Customers
Wendy Sears
Crate and Barrel, along with other full-price retailers, are outperforming at FRT centers, indicating strong high-end consumer spending and tenant health.

Office assets integrated into FRT's mixed-use communities are essentially fully leased (99% entire portfolio) even as the broader market struggles, with downtown San Jose Class A office vacancy at 36%. This highlights a structural shift in demand towards place-based, amenity-rich office product.
Evidence
“In fact, all of Santana Road's office space is 100% leased. This is particularly impressive given that just a few miles away, downtown San Jose, California, Class A office vacancy stands at 36%.”
Strong leasing momentum and anchor repositioning, particularly on the West Coast, is expected to drive strong income contributions in 2027. The company is signing leases at substantial rollovers (13% cash, 23% straight-line) indicating high tenant demand and future NOI growth.
Evidence
“the anchor box leasing and repositioning that has been done and will continue to get done, particularly on the West Coast for us, should provide strong income contributions in 27th”
