CINCINNATI—Phillips Edison & Co. said Thursday it plans to spin off its strategic investment and net lease investment businesses into a standalone company. To be known as PECO Real Estate Partners, or PREP, the newly created company will acquire single-tenant retail, power and lifestyle centers, enclosed malls and mixed-use retail projects. The parent company, PECO, will stick to its knitting, with a focus on building its grocery-anchored shopping center portfolio, currently at more than 270 properties coast to coast.

“We founded the company in 1991 with a focus on grocery-anchored shopping centers,” says Jeff Edison, principal and CEO of Cincinnati-based PECO. “This strategic decision is something we have contemplated for some time as a way to streamline PECO’s business by returning to an exclusive focus on our core competency: investing in grocery-anchored shopping centers.”
