Federal Realty Investment Trust announced a first-of-its-kind agreement with Mercedes-Benz High-Power Charging (HPC), naming the automaker its preferred electric vehicle (EV) charging provider. The collaboration establishes the foundation for a scalable rollout, expected to bring more than 500 ultra-fast charging stalls to at least 50 of Federal Realty's premier open-air retail destinations in its national portfolio. The initial rollout includes 20 of the selected sites, including Camelback Colonnade in Phoenix, AZ; Lawrence Park Shopping Center in Broomall, PA; and Shops at Pembroke Gardens in Pembroke Pines, FL.

Each location will feature up to 10 charging stalls with 400 kW charging speeds, accessible to all drivers regardless of vehicle brand, with the first locations expected to come online in 2026. Unlike traditional site-by-site EV installations, this commitment represents a portfolio-driven model--enabling Mercedes-Benz HPC to scale rapidly while reducing complexity. It reflects Federal Realty's differentiated approach to asset management and builds on its broader strategy of integrating infrastructure-forward enhancements that drive durable value.

The collaboration also underscores the selectivity of Federal's relationships, earning the trust of a globally respected brand to deliver a premium, future-focused experience.
