Kari Glinski serves as a transformative leader at Federal Realty Investment Trust, overseeing a $2 billion retail portfolio across Philadelphia, New Jersey, and Baltimore. Under Glinski's leadership, the portfolio’s income has increased by more than 25% over the last five years, with occupancy reaching an all-time high of 98%.

She is currently directing major redevelopments, including the $170 million Bala Cynwyd project, which integrates 300 residential units with 190,000 square feet of retail, and a $30 million transformation of the Andorra Shopping Center. Glinski successfully managed 30 new business openings in 2025 alone, ranging from first-to-market concepts to local independent retailers.

Her forward-thinking approach positions retail properties as essential community gathering places rather than just transactional spaces. Glinski also served as Chair and Treasurer of the Ardmore Initiative, helping to implement a five-year strategic plan for downtown Ardmore.

Her ability to balance tenant needs with ownership objectives while maintaining a community focus distinguishes her as a premier asset manager.
