Kite Realty Group Trust Announces Recent Tenant Openings

Kite Realty Group Trust (NYSE: KRG) (“the Company”) is announcing the recent opening of several anchor and national tenants, totaling over 151,000 square feet of GLA. These new tenants include Publix Supermarkets at King’s Lake Square in Naples, Florida; Harris Teeter, Massage Envy, and Sleepy’s at Parkside Town Commons in Raleigh, North Carolina; Total Wine & More at International Speedway Square in Daytona Beach, Florida; Panera Bread at Bolton Plaza in Jacksonville, Florida; and Walgreens at Four Corner Square in Maple Valley, Washington.

“The continued leasing velocity we are experiencing can be attributed to three factors: the strength of our real estate, the experience and skill of our team, and the shortage of quality retail supply in our various markets. We look forward to further enhancing our leasing production through our recent additions to our leasing team as we prepare to integrate our expanded portfolio,” said John A. Kite, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
