REITS' CALIFORNIA DREAM

The big dogs control the fat cat malls in the Golden State.

Friedman, Billings Ramsey & Co. examined 1 billion square feet of U.S. retail real estate to pinpoint the country's top malls. Mallas were evaluated based on market size, market growth and mall quality. The study reveals that not only do large public REITs own most of the mall space in the U.S. (57 percent), they also own 73 percent of the top-rated properties. Of the 14 California malls that earned the firm's designation as a top mall, only four are still in private hands.
