The Quality of Kimco

Quality can be defined in many ways. In the shopping center business, quality is often equated with “curb appeal.” Newer, more attractive properties are more highly valued.

We agree, in part, with that concept – and, starting on the next page of this report, we showcase five of our signature properties.

But at Kimco, we also measure quality by the size and stability of our portfolio… the location of our sites… the strength of our retailer and investor relationships… the value of our service… and the integrity and creativity of our people.

These are the real qualities that set us apart. All of them contributed to our success in 2011, as we sharpened our focus on our core business, continued to trade up to higher-value real estate, and moved closer to our vision of being the premier owner/operator of high-quality shopping centers in North America.
