Federal Realty Names Paige Pitcher Senior Vice President, Digital Innovation

„For more than sixty years, Federal Realty has created value by knowing our real estate and our retailers inside and out,“ said Don Wood, President & Chief Executive Officer of Federal Realty. „The opportunity in front of us is to bring that same instinct to how we use data — to understand our centers and our tenants‘ businesses even more deeply, and to get great retailers open and operating sooner. Paige has spent her career helping real estate companies turn that kind of potential into results, and she is the right person to lead this work as we enter our next chapter.“

Pitcher brings more than 15 years of experience working at the intersection of real estate, technology, and investment, having advised and partnered with leading real estate companies globally and domestically. She joins Federal Realty from Bigger Pitcher Advisory, where she drove AI integration and enterprise digitization for real estate firms and proptech companies across three continents. She previously led innovation at Hines across 25 countries and drove tech adoption for some of the country’s largest REITs at a top-tier proptech venture capital firm. She holds a Master of Science in Real Estate Development from MIT and serves on the Blackstone Proptech Advisory Board and the board of the Center for Real Estate Technology and Innovation.

„Federal Realty has one of the best portfolios and teams in the business, with the data and relationships to match,“ said Pitcher. „AI has changed the pace of business, and Federal Realty intends to set the pace in retail real estate.“
