Acadia Realty Trust (NYSE:AKR) ("Acadia" or the "Company") today announced an update on its recent investment, balance sheet and leasing activities. Acadia owns and operates a high-quality real estate portfolio of street and open-air retail properties in the nation's most dynamic retail corridors ("REIT Portfolio"), along with an investment management platform that targets opportunistic and value-add investments through its institutional co-investment vehicles ("Investment Management").

Investment Activity

Acadia has completed approximately $119 million of accretive street retail acquisitions within its REIT Portfolio during the third quarter to date, further building scale in four of its high-growth corridors: Greene Street in SoHo, New York; Bleecker Street in West Village, New York; Greenwich Avenue in Greenwich, Connecticut; and Melrose Avenue in West Hollywood, California. Details provided below:

REIT Portfolio Acquisitions:

SoHo, Manhattan, New York. In September 2026, the Company acquired two storefronts on 69-73 Greene Street for a purchase price of $60 million, bringing the Company’s total storefronts owned on Greene Street to 11. The acquisition includes one storefront leased to Amiri and an adjacent vacancy offering a near-term lease-up opportunity.
West Village, Manhattan, New York. In August 2026, the Company acquired 385 Bleecker Street and 371-373 Bleecker Street for an aggregate purchase price of $20 million, adding three storefronts on the West Village's premier retail corridor. These acquisitions bring the Company's total storefronts owned on Bleecker Street to 10.
Greenwich, Connecticut. In August 2026, the Company acquired 171-173 Greenwich Avenue for a purchase price of $10 million, bringing the Company’s total storefronts owned on Greenwich Avenue to five. The in-place lease provides an embedded mark-to-market opportunity on a supply-constrained corridor with high barriers to entry.
West Hollywood, Los Angeles, California. In July 2026, the Company acquired 8800-8804 Melrose Avenue for a purchase price of $29 million. Located in the heart of West Hollywood’s ascendant luxury retail corridor, in close proximity to the Company’s Melrose Place portfolio, the property directly complements and expands the Company’s scale within its West Hollywood corridor. Additionally, the site includes a parking lot that can accommodate additional retail GLA, offering embedded upside that would more than double the building’s square footage.

These acquisitions, along with a robust pipeline of potential accretive acquisitions within its existing street retail corridors, reflect the Company’s strategy of concentrating ownership where tenant demand is outpacing available supply. Building scale within these select corridors enhances the Company’s ability to curate the tenant mix and drive tenant sales growth, contributing meaningfully to net operating income growth.

Including these transactions, Acadia has completed approximately $742 million of acquisitions year-to-date in 2026, including approximately $318 million of accretive street retail acquisitions within its REIT Portfolio and $424 million (approximately $85 million at the Company’s share) in Investment Management. Factoring in its current pipeline, the Company expects to achieve its stated annual target of approximately $400 million to $500 million of street retail acquisitions within its REIT Portfolio.

Balance Sheet Update

The Company did not issue any new equity during the third quarter to date. Consistent with its practice of match funding external growth, during the third quarter, the Company settled a portion of its previously issued forward sale agreements to fund the acquisitions described above. Approximately $352 million of anticipated net proceeds remain available under the Company's existing forward sale agreements.

Leasing Update

The Company also announced that leasing activity remains robust, with 12 new leases signed during the third quarter to date representing approximately $4.8 million of annualized base rent ("ABR") at the Company's share, including $3.8 million of ABR within its street retail portfolio. New leases and renewals within the street retail portfolio continue to be executed at double-digit cash leasing spreads.

Included in this activity, the Company executed a lease with a national specialty retailer for its storefront at 129 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan’s Flatiron District, which Acadia acquired vacant in the second quarter of 2026, underwriting its ability to re-lease the space at a substantial premium. Leveraging its long-standing tenant relationships, the Company generated competing interest from multiple retailers and signed the lease within 30 days of closing at a rent that significantly exceeded its underwriting, resulting in a projected yield on cost in excess of 9%.

Kenneth F. Bernstein, President and CEO of Acadia, commented:

"Our activity in the third quarter to date reflects continued execution across both the internal and external drivers of our growth. We completed approximately $119 million of accretive street retail acquisitions within our REIT Portfolio, building further scale in four of the corridors where we already own storefronts. Complementing this external growth, our lease at 129 Fifth Avenue, signed within 30 days of closing and above our underwriting, validates our street retail thesis in real time, in a market where retailer demand continues to meaningfully outpace the supply of quality space. With a robust pipeline of potential acquisitions on these same streets, the capital in hand to fund it, and the outsized returns that scale creates on our irreplaceable street retail corridors, we remain confident in our ability to drive meaningful earnings growth and long-term value for shareholders."
