Erected by Edward DeBartolo in 1968, the Lafayette Square Mall just two miles north of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway enjoyed its own fast-paced traffic for decades.
Total leased space at PREIT malls increased by more than a percentage point in the second quarter to 95%, but its net operating income decreased by 5.7%.
When many of his malls shut down at the start of the pandemic, CEO Steve Levin directed his team at Centennial to focus on creating new customer experiences.
PREIT has positioned itself to become a magnet for retailers looking to expand their store counts in the densely populated and dynamic East Coast market.
