   PART I.   FINANCIAL INFORMATION

        The following  financial information is  submitted in response  to the
   requirements of Form 10-Q and  does not purport to be  financial statements
   prepared in accordance with  generally accepted accounting principles since
   they do  not include all  disclosures which  might be associated  with such
   statements.  In the  opinion of management,  such information includes  all
   adjustments, consisting only  of normal recurring accruals,  necessary to a
   fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented.


        The  balance  sheet as  of  December  31, 1993  was  audited  by Grant
   Thornton,  independent public  accountants,  who  expressed an  unqualified
   opinion  on  it in  their  report  dated   February  14,  1994.  All  other
   financial  information presented is unaudited  but has been  reviewed as of
   March 31,  1994 and for each of  the three months ended  March 31, 1994 and
   1993  by Grant  Thornton  whose  report thereon  appears  on  Page 4.   All
   adjustments and disclosures  proposed by  them have been  reflected in  the
   data presented.

   Accountants' Review Report

   Trustees and Shareholders
   Federal Realty Investment Trust

   We have made a review  of the consolidated balance sheet of  Federal Realty
   Investment  Trust as  of  March  31,  1994  and  the  related  consolidated
   statements  of earnings, shareholders' equity and cash flows for the three-
   month periods  ended March 31, 1994  and 1993.  These  financial statements
   are the responsibility of the Trust's management.

   We conducted our  review in  accordance with standards  established by  the
   American  Institute of Certified Public  Accountants.  A  review of interim
   financial  information consists principally  of applying  analytical review
   procedures  to financial data  and making inquiries  of persons responsible
   for  financial and accounting  matters.  It is  substantially less in scope
   than an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the
   objective  of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial
   statements taken  as a  whole.   Accordingly,  we do  not  express such  an
   opinion.

   Based on  our review, we are  not aware of any  material modifications that
   should be made  to the accompanying financial statements for  them to be in
   conformity with generally accepted  accounting principals, except that they
   do  not include  all  disclosures  which  might  be  associated  with  such
   statments.

   We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted  auditing
   standards, the consoldiated balance  sheet as of December 31,  1993 and the
   related  consolidated statements  of  operations, shareholders'  equity and
   cash  flows for  the year  then ended  (not presented  herein); and  in our
   report  dated February  14, 1994,  we expressed  an unqualified  opinion on
   those consolidated financial statements.

   In  our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated
   balance  sheet as of  December 31, 1993  is stated fairly,  in all material


                                      - 5 -

   respects, in relation  to the consolidated balance sheet  from which it has
   been derived.

                         Federal Realty Investment Trust

                    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  March 31, 1994
                         (see accountants' review report)
                                   (unaudited)


   NOTE A - ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OTHER DATA

        Reference should be made to the notes to financial statements included
   in  the Annual Report to shareholders for  the year ended December 31, 1993
   which contain the Trust's accounting policies and other data.

   NOTE B - DIVIDENDS PAYABLE

        On  March 3, 1994  the Trustees declared  a cash dividend  of $.39 per
   share, payable April 15, 1994 to shareholders of record March 25, 1994.

   NOTE C - MORTGAGE NOTES RECEIVABLE

        On March 1, 1994 the Trust  issued a mortgage note receivable for $4.4
   million.  The note, which  bears interest at 10.625%, is due  in September,
   1994 and is secured by a  portion of  Bethesda Row, the  leasehold interest
   in which was acquired by the Trust in December 1993.


   NOTE D - MORTGAGES PAYABLE

        On  January 31,  1994 the  Trust placed  with a  bank a  $22.5 million
   mortgage  on  Northeast Plaza  in Atlanta,  Georgia.   The  mortgage, which
   matures  on January 31, 1995, originally bore  interest at 150 basis points
   over LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate).   The interest rate was reduced

                                      - 18 -
<PAGE>
   to 100 basis points over LIBOR as of April 7, 1994 provided that  the Trust
   does not draw over $15.0 million  on its $20.0 million line of  credit with
   the bank.

   NOTE E - NOTES PAYABLE

        In February 1994 the  Trust obtained a $15.0 million  revolving credit
   facility  with a bank, bringing the Trust's total availability of revolving
   credit facilities  to $85.0 million.   All four facilities require fees and
   have covenants requiring a minimum shareholders' equity and a maximum ratio
   of debt to net worth. At March 31, 1994 there was $15.4 million outstanding
   on these facilities.   The average weighted interest  rate on borrowings as
   of March  31, 1994  was  4.3%.   The maximum  amount  borrowed under  these
   facilities during the first three months  of 1994 was $33.5 million.

   NOTE F - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

        On January  1, 1994 under  the terms of  the 1993 Long-Term  Incentive
   Plan, an officer  of the Trust  purchased 40,000 common  shares at $25  per
   share with the assistance of a $1.0 million loan from the Trust.  The loan,
   which has a term  of 12 years, bears interest  at 6.24%.  One-sixteenth  of
   the  loan  will be  forgiven  on  January 31,  1995.    Forgiveness of  the
   remainder of the loan is subject to the future performance of the Trust.

        During the first three  months of 1994, 17,216  shares were issued  at
   prices ranging from $20.50 a  share to $22.63 a share as the  result of the
   exercise of  stock options.  The Trust accepted notes from its officers and
   employees of $341,000 in connection  with the issuance of  certain of these
   shares.
      
   NOTE G - INTEREST EXPENSE

        The Trust incurred interest expense totaling $8.2 million in the first
   quarter of  1994 and $8.5  million in the  first quarter of  1993, of which
   $107,000 and  $34,000, respectively, were  capitalized.  Interest  paid was
   $6.5 million  in the first  quarter of 1994  and $6.5 million in  the first
   quarter of 1993.

                                      - 19 -

   NOTE H - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

        The State of New  Jersey Division of Taxation  has assessed the  Trust
   $364,000 in  taxes, penalty and interest  for the years 1985  through 1990,
   since  the State has disallowed  the dividends paid  deduction in computing
   New Jersey  taxable income.  The Trust  is protesting this assessment since
   the Trust believes that it is entitled to the deduction.  At this time, the
   outcome  of this  matter is  unknown; however  in a similar  case involving
   another real estate  investment trust,  the New Jersey  tax court  recently
   ruled that the dividends paid deduction was allowable.

        The  Trust's  non  real  estate investments  consist  of  $473,000  in
   marketable  equity securities and $3.4  million of Olympia  and York Senior
   First  Mortgage Notes.  The Olympia &  York notes were written down in 1992
   to management's best estimate of their net realizable value.

        The North Carolina  Department of the Environment,  Health and Natural
   Resources  ("DEHNR") issued  a Notice  of Violation  ("NOV") against  a dry
   cleaner tenant at Eastgate  Shopping Center in Chapel Hill,  North Carolina
   concerning a   spill at  the shopping  center.   As owner  of the  shopping
   center, the Trust was named in  and received a copy of the NOV.   Estimates
   to remediate  the spill range from  $300,000 to $500,000.   An agreement is
   being negotiated with  two previous owners of the  shopping center to share
   the costs to remediate.  In 1993 the Trust recorded a liability of $120,000
   as its estimated share of the clean up costs.

        Contaminants  at levels in excess of New Jersey cleanup standards were
   identified at a shopping center in  New Jersey.  The Trust has  retained an
   environmental consultant  to investigate the  contamination.  The  Trust is
   also evaluating whether it has insurance coverage for this matter.  At this
   time, the Trust is unable to determine what the range  of remediation costs
   might  be.  The Trust has also identified chlorinated solvent contamination
   at  two other properties.   In each  case, the contamination  appears to be
   linked to  the current and/or previous  dry cleaner.  The  Trust intends to
   look to  the responsible parties for any remediation effort.  Evaluation of
   these situations is preliminary  and it is impossible to estimate the range
   of remediation costs, if any.

        The  Trust reserved $2.25 million at closing in 1993 for environmental
   issues  principally associated  with  Gaithersburg Square  Shopping Center.
   Pursuant to an indemnity agreement entered into with the seller at closing,
   the  Trust  agreed  to take  certain  actions  with  respect to  identified
   chlorinated solvent  contamination.  The  seller indemnified the  Trust for
   certain  third   party  claims  and  government   requirements  related  to
   contamination at adjacent properties.

        At March 31, 1994 in  connection with certain redevelopment  projects,
   the  Trust is  contractually obligated on  contracts of  approximately $3.7
   million.  At March 31, 1994 the Trust is also contractually obligated under
   leases with tenants to provide approximately $7.1 million for improvements.

   NOTE I - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

        On April  5, 1994  the  Trust sold  840,000 shares  at  $25.875 to  an
   institutional  investor, raising  net  proceeds of  $21.7  million.   In  a
   concurrent public  offering, on April  6, 1994 the  Trust sold 2.5  million
   shares  at $26  per  share, raising  net  proceeds of  approximately  $61.2
   million.

        On April  30, 1994 $39.8 million  of the Trust's $40.2  million 5 1/4%
   subordinated convertible debentures due 2002 were redeemed at  a redemption
   price equal to 120% of their principal amount or  $47.8 million.  

        On  April  15, 1994  the Trust  purchased  Idylwood Plaza  in Fairfax,
   Virginia for a cash price of $14.3 million.
   On April 29, 1994 the Trust purchased North Lake Commons Shopping Center in
   Lake Zurich, Illinois for a cash price of $10.8 million.  A parcel  of land
   with a grocery  store adjoining the Trust's Bala Cynwyd Shopping Center was
   also purchased on April 29, 1994 for a price of $990,000.

                         FEDERAL REALTY INVESTMENT TRUST
                                    FORM 10-Q
                                  MARCH 31, 1994

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

   LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        Federal  Realty  meets its  liquidity  requirements  through net  cash
   provided  by  operating   activities,  long-term  borrowing  through   debt
   offerings and mortgages,  medium and  short-term borrowing  under lines  of
   credit, and equity offerings.  Because  all or a significant portion of the
   Trust's net  cash  provided  by  operating  activities  is  distributed  to
   shareholders,  capital  outlays   for  property  acquisitions,   renovation
   projects  and   debt repayments  require funding  from borrowing  or equity
   offerings.

        During 1992 and 1993 in order  to improve its capital structure and to
   finance and expand its  real estate portfolio, the Trust  restructured debt
   and raised equity.  The Trust continues to believe that now is an opportune
   time to  acquire or develop  shopping centers, so  as capital is  needed to
   acquire or develop properties, the Trust will again seek to issue equity or
   additional debt securities.

        On  January 31, 1994  the Trust placed,  with a bank,  a $22.5 million
   mortgage  on  Northeast Plaza  in Atlanta,  Georgia.   The  mortgage, which
   matures on January 31,  1995, originally bore interest at  150 basis points
   over LIBOR.  The  interest rate was reduced to 100  basis points over LIBOR
   as of  April 7,  1994  provided that  the Trust  does not  draw over  $15.0
   million on its $20.0 million line of credit with the bank.  The proceeds of
   this mortgage  were used to  fund improvements to  Trust properties  and to
   repay borrowings on the Trust's revolving credit facilities.

        In  early April 1994  the Trust sold  840,000 shares at  $25.875 to an
   institutional  investor, raising  net  proceeds of  $21.7  million.   In  a

                                      - 22 -
<PAGE>
   concurrent  public offering, on  April 6, 1994  the Trust sold  2.5 million
   shares  at $26  per  share, raising  net  proceeds of  approximately  $61.2
   million.   Proceeds from these offerings were  used to redeem $39.8 million
   of the Trust's   5 1/4% convertible subordinated debentures  due 2002 which
   were  redeemable on  April 30,  1994 by  the noteholders  at 120%  of their
   principal amount or $47.8 million.

          Proceeds  from the  offerings were  also used  to purchase  shopping
   centers.   On April 15, 1994 the Trust purchased Idylwood Plaza in Fairfax,
   Virginia for a price of $14.3 million in cash.  On April 29, 1994 the Trust
   purchased North Lake Commons Shopping Center in Lake Zurich, Illinois for a
   price  of $10.8 million  in cash.   A parcel of  land with a  grocery store
   adjoining the Trust's  Bala Cynwyd  Shopping Center was  also purchased  on
   April 29, 1994 for a price of $990,000 in cash.

        The  Trust  has  available  $85.0  million  of  unsecured  medium-term
   revolving credit facilities with four banks.  The facilities, which require
   fees  and have  covenants requiring  a minimum  shareholders' equity  and a
   maximum ratio of debt to net worth, are used to fund acquisitions and other
   cash requirements  until conditions  are favorable  for  issuing equity  or
   long-term debt.  At March  31, 1994 there was $15.4 million  outstanding on
   these  facilities.  The average weighted  interest rate on borrowings as of
   March  31,  1994  was  4.3%.    The  maximum  amount  borrowed  under these
   facilities during the first three months of 1994 was $33.5 million.

        Major expenditures of capital by the Trust during the first quarter of
   1994 included the following: (1)  $9.0 million to reduce borrowings on  the
   medium-term  bank  facilities  and (2)  $8.7  million  in  tenant work  and
   improvements to  the shopping  centers.   These  improvements include  $1.1
   million to begin the redevelopment of Congressional Plaza, $1.9 million for
   the  renovation and  tenant work  at Ellisburg  Circle Shopping  Center and
   $886,000 in tenant work and improvements at Perring Plaza.   


        The  Trust is committed under leases for approximately $7.1 million in
   tenant  work.   In addition  the Trust  has budgeted    approximately $33.7
   million for  the remainder  of 1994   for  improvements to  its properties.

                                      - 23 -
<PAGE>
   These expenditures will  be paid  from borrowings on  the revolving  credit
   facilities or from other financing.

        The State  of New Jersey Division  of Taxation has assessed  the Trust
   $364,000  in taxes, penalty  and interest for the  years 1985 through 1990,
   since  the State has disallowed  the dividends paid  deduction in computing
   New Jersey taxable income.   The Trust is protesting  this assessment since
   the Trust believes that it is entitled to the deduction.  At this time, the
   outcome of  this matter  is unknown;  however in  a similar  case involving
   another real estate  investment trust,  the New Jersey  tax court  recently
   ruled that the dividends paid deduction was allowable.

        Included in the Trust's non real estate investments of $3.9 million is
   $3.4 million of Olympia and York  Senior First Mortgage Notes.  The Olympia
   and York notes were written down  during 1992 to management's best estimate
   of their net realizable value.  Interest income on these notes is not being
   recorded as revenue, but is being treated as a reduction of principal.


        The North Carolina Department  of the Environment, Health and  Natural
   Resources  ("DEHNR") issued  a Notice  of Violation  ("NOV") against  a dry
   cleaner tenant at Eastgate  Shopping Center in Chapel Hill,  North Carolina
   concerning  a spill  at the  shopping  center.   As owner  of the  shopping
   center, the Trust was  named in and received a copy of  the NOV.  Estimates
   to remediate  the spill range from  $300,000 to $500,000.   An agreement is
   being negotiated with  two previous owners of the shopping  center to share
   the costs to remediate.  In 1993 the Trust recorded a liability of $120,000
   as its estimated share of the clean up costs.

        Contaminants  at levels in excess of New Jersey cleanup standards were
   identified  at a shopping center in New Jersey.   The Trust has retained an
   environmental consultant  to investigate the  contamination.  The  Trust is
   also evaluating whether it has insurance coverage for this matter.  At this
   time, the Trust is unable to determine what the range  of remediation costs
   might  be.  The Trust has also identified chlorinated solvent contamination
   at  two other properties.   In each  case, the contamination  appears to be
   linked to  the current and/or previous  dry cleaner.  The  Trust intends to

                                      - 24 -

   look to the responsible parties for any remediation effort.  Evaluation  of
   these situations  is preliminary and it is impossible to estimate the range
   of remediation costs, if any.
     

        The  Trust reserved $2.25 million at closing in 1993 for environmental
   issues principally  associated with   Gaithersburg Square  Shopping Center.
   Pursuant to an indemnity agreement entered into with the seller at closing,
   the  Trust  agreed  to take  certain  actions  with  respect to  identified
   chlorinated  solvent contamination.   The seller  indemnified the  Trust of
   certain  third   party  claims  and  government   requirements  related  to
   contamination at adjacent properties.


        Management  believes that the combination  of cash at  March 31, 1994,
   the  revolving credit facilities, and the unencumbered value of the Trust's
   properties provide the Trust with  adequate capital resources and liquidity
   for operating purposes in  the near future.  The  Trust, however, continues
   to  renovate  its  existing centers  and  seeks  to  acquire more  shopping
   centers.    The Trust  will  need  to continue  to  raise  equity or  issue
   additional  debt  in order  to fund  these activities.   Subject  to market
   conditions, the  Trust believes that it  will continue to be  able to raise
   this needed capital  through the offering of equity  and debt securities so
   that it  may pursue its  growth plans  as well as  to meet its  longer term
   capital and debt refinancing needs.

   RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1994 AND 1993

        Funds from operations  is defined  as income  before depreciation  and
   amortization and extraordinary  items less  gains on sale  of real  estate.
   Management  believes   that  funds   from  operations  is   an  appropriate
   supplemental  measure  of  the  Trust's operating  performance  because  it
   believes that reductions for depreciation  and amortization charges are not
   meaningful  in   evaluating  income-producing  real   estate,  which   have
   historically been  appreciating assets.  The Trust  acquires, evaluates and
   sells income-producing  properties  based  upon  operating  income  without
   taking  into account  property  depreciation and  amortization charges  and
   utilizes  funds  from operations,  together with  other factors  in setting
   shareholder  distribution levels.    Gains  on  sale  of  real  estate  and
   extraordinary items  are also  excluded from this  supplemental measure  of
   performance because such amounts are not part of  the ongoing operations of
   the Trust's  portfolio.  Funds from operations  does not replace net income
   as a measure of performance or net cash provided by operating activities as
   a measure of liquidity.

        Funds  from operations  increased 29%  to $11.0  million in  the first
   quarter of 1994 from $8.5 million in the first quarter of 1993.  

        Rental income,  which consists  of minimum rent,  percentage rent  and
   cost  recoveries, increased 28% from $24.6 million  in the first quarter of
   1993  to $31.5  million  in the  first  quarter of  1994.   The  properties
   acquired in 1993 contributed 20% of this 28% increase.  The major component
   of the remaining increase is cost recoveries, the increase in  which is due
   to recovery of the large increase  in snow removal expense during the first
   quarter of 1994.

        Other  income which includes items which tend to fluctuate from period
   to  period,  such as  utility  reimbursements,  telephone income,  merchant
   association dues, lease  termination fees, late  fees and temporary  tenant
   income, has  increased from $1.0  million in 1993  to $1.3 million  in 1994
   because of the 1993 acquisitions and because of lease termination fees paid
   to the Trust.

                                      - 26 -
<PAGE>
        Rental  expenses have increased from $6.1 million in the first quarter
   of  1993 to $10.1  million in  the first  quarter of  1994.   This increase
   results  primarily from new acquisitions and from  an increase of over $1.5
   million  in snow  removal expenses during  the winter  of 1994.   The other
   major component  of the increase in rental  expense is in bad  debt and the
   write off of tenant improvements for tenants which vacated prior to the end
   of their lease term.  Real estate taxes  have increased because of the 1993
   acquisitions. Depreciation  and amortization  charges increased  because of
   the 1993 acquisitions  but also  because of depreciation  on recent  tenant
   work and property improvements.  Administrative expenses are increasing  as
   the  Trust grows,  but  are relatively  constant as  a percentage  of total
   revenue at approximately 4%.

        Interest income has decreased  from $1.0 million in the  first quarter
   of  1993 to $869,000  in the first  quarter of 1994, because  of lower cash
   balances during 1994.

        Interest  expense has decreased from $8.5 million in the first quarter
   of 1993 to $8.2 million in the first quarter of 1994. Decreases in interest
   expense  resulting from the repayment  of several mortgages  and the senior
   notes  in 1993 are  mostly offset by  increases in interest  because of the
   issuance  of  the  5 1/4%  convertible  subordinated  debentures due  2003,
   because of the interest  portion of the  capital lease payment on  Bethesda
   Row, and  because of  interest on  the larger outstanding  balances of  the
   revolving credit facilities.

        Income  before extraordinary item  increased from $2.6  million in the
   first  quarter  of 1993  to  $4.1  million in  the  first  quarter of  1994
   primarily due to increased revenue from the Trust's new acquisitions. 

        During the  first quarter  of 1993  the Trust  incurred losses  on the
   early extinguishment of debt of $65,000 due to the prepayment of a mortgage
   and the redemption of its 8 3/4% convertible subordinated debentures.

        As  a  result  of the  foregoing  items,  primarily  the increases  in
   property income,  net income rose from $2.5 million in the first quarter of
   1993 to $4.1 million in the first quarter of 1994.

   December 17, 1993



   Dear Mr. Kaplan:

   The  Board  of Trustees  of Federal  Realty  Investment Trust  ("Trust") is
   pleased to inform you that you have been awarded an "Other Award" under the
   terms  of the Federal Realty Investment Trust 1993 Long-Term Incentive Plan
   ("Plan"), a copy of which is available to you.  This purchase  is effective
   January 1, 1994.

   The  terms of the "Other Award" are substantially similar to the terms of a
   "Stock Purchase Award" under the Plan, with the following modifications:

        (1)  You  are entitled to stock purchase loan forgiveness for a fiscal
             year of 1/16th  of the  original principal amount  of your  stock
             purchase  loan if growth in the Trust's funds from operations per
             share  ("FFO") is equal to or  greater than 5% during that fiscal
             year.

        (2)  Beginning with the  forgiveness scheduled to occur on January 31,
             1997, if growth in FFO is equal to or greater than 10% during the
             immediately preceding  fiscal  year and  if total  return to  the
             Trust's shareholders is equal  to or greater than 10%  during the
             same  fiscal year,  then  an additional  1/16th  of the  original
             principal  amount of your stock purchase loan will be forgiven on
             January 31 of the following fiscal year.

        (3)  With respect to the forgiveness scheduled to occur on January 31,
             1995 only, you are entitled to stock purchase loan forgiveness of
             1/16th of  the original principal  amount of your  stock purchase
             loan even if the  FFO test is not met  for fiscal year 1994.   If
             the FFO  test described in (1)  is met for fiscal  year 1994, you
             are entitled to total  stock purchase loan forgiveness of  2/16th
<PAGE>
             of the original principal  amount of your stock purchase  loan on
             January 31, 1995.

        (4)  Except as provided in the first  sentence of (3) above, if growth
             in FFO  does not equal 5%  in any fiscal year,  no stock purchase
             loan forgiveness on the following January 31 will occur.

        (5)  If you are  entitled to  stock purchase loan  forgiveness in  any
             year, forgiveness  shall  occur on  January 31  of the  following
             year, beginning on January 31, 1995; provided, however, that  25%
             of the  original principal  amount of  your  stock purchase  loan
             shall not be subject to forgiveness.

        (6)  The term of your  stock purchase loan shall  be twelve years  and
             the stock purchase loan, and any  related tax loan, shall be non-
             recourse loans.  Any tax loans you may receive shall  also have a
             term of twelve years.

        (7)  The  interest rates on your  stock purchase loan  and any related
             tax loans shall  be 6.24% per annum or such  higher rate as shall
             be necessary to avoid imputed interest under the Internal Revenue
             Code.

        (8)  The stock purchase price per share shall be the closing price per
             share on The New  York Stock Exchange, Inc.  for Trust shares  on
             December 31, 1993.

   The members of the Trust's Compensation Committee are pleased to  make this
   award in recognition of your contributions to the Trust.

   Also enclosed is a copy of the Prospectus for the Plan as well as a copy of
   the Trust's annual report  to shareholders for the year ended  December 31,
   1992.   We will  provide you with  a copy of  the Trust's annual  report to
   shareholders  for  the year  ended  December  31, 1993  as  soon  as it  is
   available.

                                           January 1, 1994

        FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Ron D. Kaplan ("Borrower"), promises to pay to the
   order  of FEDERAL REALTY INVESTMENT  TRUST ("Payee") at  4800 Hampden Lane,
   Bethesda,  Maryland 20814, or at such other  place as the holder hereof may
   from  time to  time designate  in writing,  in lawful  money of  the United
   States of  America, the principal sum  of One Million Dollars  and No Cents
   ($1,000,000.00) together with interest as described below on the  principal
   balance hereof  from time to  time outstanding, all in  accordance with the
   following terms and provisions:

   1.   Other Share Award.  This promissory note (as  the same may be amended,
   modified or supplemented from time to time, the "Purchase Note") represents
   the Purchase Loan referred to  in the Federal Realty Investment Trust  1993
   Long-Term Incentive Plan (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to
   time, "the Plan").  Terms defined in the Plan shall have  the same meanings
   when  such  terms are  used  in this  Purchase  Note.   This  Purchase Note
   evidences a non-recourse, secured loan made  by Payee to Borrower to enable
   Borrower to purchase Shares pursuant to Borrower's Other Share Award issued
   under the Plan. The performance of the Borrower's obligations hereunder are
   secured by (a) a pledge of the Shares purchased by  Borrower under the Plan
   and (b)  an Assignment to Payee of all quarterly cash Dividends paid on the
   Shares purchased by Borrower under the Plan.

   2.   Interest. The  unpaid  principal  balance   of  this  Purchase   Note,
   outstanding  from  time to  time,  shall bear  Interest  of Six  and 24/100
   percent (6.24%) per anum or such higher rate as shall be necessary to avoid
   imputed interest  under the  Internal Revenue  Code and  shall  be due  and
   payable quarterly in arrears on each date of payment of a  cash Dividend on
   the Shares owned  by Borrower pursuant to  the Plan.  If no  quarterly cash
   Dividend is paid on the Shares for a  quarter, Interest shall accrue on the
   last day of the quarter, and shall be satisfied from  future cash Dividends
   paid on such Shares.   Any accrued but unpaid Interest on the Purchase Note
   shall be due and payable on July 31, 2006.

   3.   Principal Payments. Payee shall forgive the repayment of one-sixteenth
   (six and one  quarter percent) of  the original principal of  this Purchase
<PAGE>
   Note on the 31st day of January, so long as Funds From Operations per Share
   ("FFO") grew 5% or more during  the immediately preceding fiscal year.  The
   Payee  shall  also forgive  an  additional  one-sixteenth of  the  original
   principal of  the loan beginning  on January  31, 1997, and  each scheduled
   forgiveness date thereafter, if growth in FFO for the preceding fiscal year
   was greater than or equal to  10% and total return to shareholders for  the
   preceding fiscal year was greater than or equal  to 10%.  Payee also agrees
   to forgive one-sixteenth  of the  original principal on  January 31,  1995.
   Except  as provided in the  immediately preceding sentence,  Payee will not
   forgive any portion of the original principal  of the loan on the 31st  day
   of January if growth in FFO was less than 5% during  the preceding year. In
   order  for the forgiveness  to occur, Borrower  must be an  employee on the
   forgiveness date.

   Unless due earlier in accordance  with Paragraphs 4 and 6 of  this Purchase
   Note,  the balance of the Purchase Note  that is not forgiven in accordance
   with the schedule set  forth in this Paragraph 3, shall  be due and payable
   on July 31, 2006.

   4.   Termination of Employment.    In the event there  is a Termination  of
   Employment of Borrower, the following shall apply:

        a.   Termination of Employment by Voluntary Resignation.
             In the event of Borrower's Termination of Employment by voluntary
             resignation, the outstanding balance of the  Purchase   Loan  and
             any accrued but unpaid  Interest hereon shall be due  and payable
             within  ninety (90) days of the date of Borrower's Termination of
             Employment by voluntary resignation.

        b.   Termination of Employment by Death, Disability or
             Change of Control.
             In  the event of a Borrower's Termination of Employment by reason
             of  death, Disability or a  Change of Control,  the timetable set
             forth in Paragraph 3  of this Purchase Note shall  be accelerated
             so that an aggregate of one-half of the original principal of the
             Purchase  Note shall  be forgiven  as of  the date  of Borrower's
             Termination  of Employment  by reason of  death, Disability  or a

                                      - 2 -
<PAGE>
             Change of Control.  In that event, the outstanding balance of the
             Purchase Note and any  accrued but unpaid Interest thereon  shall
             be  due and payable within one hundred  eighty (180) days of such
             Termination of Employment.  

        c.   Termination of Employment Constituting Discharge for 
             Cause.

             In  the  event  of  Borrower's  Termination  of  Employment  that
             constitutes a Discharge for Cause, the outstanding balance of the
             Purchase Note and any  accrued but unpaid Interest thereon  shall
             be  due  and payable  immediately  upon  the date  of  Borrower's
             Termination of Employment that constitutes a Discharge for Cause.

        d.   Other Termination of Employment.

             In the event of Borrower's  Termination of Employment for reasons
             other  than those set  forth in  the foregoing  subparagraphs (a)
             through (c), the outstanding balance of the Purchase Note and any
             accrued but  unpaid Interest  thereon shall  be  due and  payable
             within twelve (12)  months of the date  of Borrower's Termination
             of Employment.

   5.   Prepayment.    This Purchase Note may  be prepaid in whole or  in part
   at  any time,  and  from  time  to  time, without  penalty.    All  partial
   prepayments  shall be applied to  the outstanding principal  balance of the
   Purchase Note.

   6.   Default.  An Event  of Default shall  occur hereunder if  the Borrower
   shall fail to  repay the balance of the  Purchase Note or the Tax  Note and
   any  accrued but unpaid Interest thereon within the applicable time periods
   set forth in the foregoing Paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 hereof or in the  Tax Note
   and such  failure shall continue  for a  period of ten  days after  written
   notice  thereof has  been given  to the Borrower  by the  Payee.   Upon the
   occurrence of an Event of Default, the outstanding balance of this Purchase
   Note and  any outstanding  Tax Notes  and any  accrued but unpaid  Interest
   thereon  shall become  immediately due  and payable  at the  option of  the

                                      - 3 -
<PAGE>
   Payee.  Any  delay by the Payee in exercising, or  any failure of the Payee
   to exercise, the aforesaid option to accelerate with respect to an Event of
   Default shall  not constitute a  waiver of  its right to  exercise such  an
   option with respect to that or any subsequent Event of Default.

   7.   Retention of Security.   If  there is  an Event  of Default  and Payee
   exercises its option to  accelerate this Purchase Note, then  in that event
   Payee shall be entitled to retain  that portion of the Share Purchase Award
   that has  a Fair Market  Value (as of the  last day of  the applicable time
   period for repayment as set forth in Paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 of this Purchase
   Note)  equal to  the  sum of  the  outstanding  principal balance  of  this
   Purchase Note and any accrued but unpaid Interest thereon, such Fair Market
   Value and  balance to  be determined as  of the  date of Payee's  notice of
   acceleration.   This remedy is the  sole and exclusive remedy  of Payee for
   any Event of Default.

   8.   Waiver; Extension.  Presentment, demand, notice  of dishonor,  protest
   and the benefits of the homestead and all other exemptions provided debtors
   are hereby waived.  The Borrower agrees that he shall remain liable for the
   payment hereof notwithstanding any  agreement for the extension of  the due
   date of any amount payable  hereunder made by the Payee after  the maturity
   thereof.

   9.   Notices.  All notices, requests, demands and other communications with
   respect to this Purchase Note shall be in writing and shall be delivered by
