Key Terms

capital recycling, mixed-use development, grocery-anchored shopping center, blended yield

4 terms

capital recycling financial

"consistent with the company's long-term strategy to recycle capital"

Capital recycling is a strategy where a company sells mature or non-core assets to free up cash, then uses that money to invest in new projects or pay down debt. For investors, it matters because it can boost returns and growth without needing new funding, while also revealing how management chooses to deploy company resources—like selling an old house to fund a new one that may earn more or cost less to maintain.

mixed-use development technical

"located within the Pike & Rose mixed-use development."

A mixed-use development is a single project that combines two or more types of real estate—such as housing, stores, offices, hotels or entertainment—into one coordinated property or neighborhood. For investors it matters because this blend can spread risk and create steady demand: like a mini-town where residents, workers and visitors support each other, diversified income streams and foot traffic can make returns more stable and help protect value during market swings.

grocery-anchored shopping center technical

"a 264,000-square-foot grocery-anchored shopping center anchored by Stop & Shop"

A grocery-anchored shopping center is a retail property where a supermarket or large grocery store serves as the main draw, attracting steady customer traffic for smaller shops around it. For investors it matters because the grocery acts like an anchor that helps keep vacancies low and rent income more predictable—similar to a busy train station that keeps surrounding storefronts filled with passersby—so these centers often offer more stable cash flow and resilience in weak markets.

blended yield financial

"bringing total disposition proceeds for the year to $316 million at a blended yield"

Blended yield is the average return an investor gets from a mix of income-producing assets or bonds, where each asset’s yield is combined according to how much is invested in it. It matters because it shows the overall income you can expect from a portfolio or a security made of multiple parts—like checking the average fuel efficiency of a car that uses different engines—helping investors compare cash flow and risk across options.
