We believe we are one of the most innovative and dynamic real estate companies you can work for. Interested candidates who research Federal Realty hear a lot about the high quality shopping centers and mixed use center in our portfolios and the well-respected real estate team at our core, it's the smaller intangible things that can make working at Federal so satisfying.
