The core takeaway here is that the physical locations - the land itself - are the primary source of their competitive edge, provided they keep running those centers well. Frankly, the real estate is the moat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 id=\"value\"\u003eValue: Concentrated in high-barrier, affluent U.S. markets\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis portfolio generates significant economic value because it sits in the best U.S. trade areas. We are talking about prime spots in California and the dense Metro New York to Washington, D.C. corridor. These aren't just any malls; they are community cornerstones in places where new development is almost impossible due to zoning and land scarcity. This concentration supports strong retailer performance, which is key for keeping rents high and vacancies low.

Most peers have either sold off their best assets or are heavily weighted toward secondary or tertiary locations.
