     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, 1994 was
                      audited by Grant Thornton LLP, independent public
                      accountants, who expressed an unqualified opinion on it
                      in their report dated February 10, 1995.  All other
                      financial information presented is unaudited but has been
                      reviewed as of March 31, 1995 and for each of the three
                      months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 by Grant Thornton LLP
                      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 reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Federal
     Realty Investment Trust as of March 31, 1995 and the related consolidated
     statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for the
     three month periods ended March 31, 1995 and 1994.  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 conducted 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 principles.

     We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
     standards, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1994 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 10, 1995, we expressed an unqualified opinion on
     those consolidated financial statements.  In our opinion, the information
     set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
     December 31, 1994 is stated fairly, in all material 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, 1995
                           (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, 1994 which contain the Trust's accounting policies and other data.

     NOTE B - DIVIDENDS PAYABLE

              On March 16, 1995 the Trustees declared a cash dividend of $.395
     per share, payable April 14, 1995 to shareholders of record March 24,
     1995.

     NOTE C - REAL ESTATE

              On February 16, 1995 the Trust purchased a 6,800 square foot
     retail building in Greenwich, Connecticut for $2.0 million in cash.  On
     April 5, 1995 the Trust purchased a 125,800 square foot portfolio of
     retail buildings in the West Hartford, Connecticut area for approximately
     $15.2 million in cash.  On April 12, 1995 the Trust purchased a 35,500
     square foot retail building in Greenwich, Connecticut for cash of
     approximately $12.9 million. Brokerage commissions of $452,000 were paid
     in connection with these purchases.  The commissions were paid to a
     company which is fifty percent owned by a brother of the Trust's
     president.  These commissions were paid pursuant to a brokerage contract
     on terms comparable to terms contained in contracts which the Trust has
     with brokers in other geographic areas in connection with the acquisition
     of retail buildings.        

          On April 27, 1995 the Trust purchased the 302,000 square foot Finley
     Square Shopping Center in Downers Grove, Illinois for cash of
     approximately $18.0 million. 

     NOTE D - Senior Notes

              On January 19, 1995 the Trust issued $100.0 million of 8 7/8%
     Notes, due January 15, 2000.  The notes, which were issued at a price of
     99.815%, pay interest semiannually on January 15 and July 15 and are not
     redeemable prior to maturity.  After deducting the  underwriter discount
     and other costs, the Trust netted approximately $98.9 million.

          In order to protect itself against the risk that the general level of
     interest rates for such securities would rise before the senior notes were
     priced, in December 1994, the Trust entered into two interest rate hedge

                                          9
<PAGE>






     agreements on a total principal amount of $75.0 million.  The cost of the
     agreements, which terminated on January 20, 1995, was $21,000, which is
     being amortized into interest expense over the life of the notes.

          In January 1995, the Trust executed a five year interest rate swap on
     $25.0 million, whereby the Trust swapped fixed interest payment
     obligations of 8.136% for a floating rate interest payment of three month
     LIBOR.  The floating rate during the first quarter of 1995 was 6.1875%.
      
          On April 21, 1995 the Trust issued $25 million of senior notes.  The
     notes, which are due April 21, 2002 and bear interest of 8%, payable
     semiannually, were issued at a price of 99.683%.  The proceeds of $24.9
     million were used to repay amounts which had been borrowed  on the
     revolving credit facilities during April 1995 to fund acquisitions and
     property renovations.

     NOTE E - MORTGAGES PAYABLE

              In January, 1995 the Trust repaid the $22.5 million mortgage on
     Northeast Plaza in Atlanta, Georgia with proceeds from the senior note
     offering.
       
     NOTE F - NOTES PAYABLE

              The Trust has $130 million of unsecured medium term revolving
     credit facilities with four banks.  The facilities, which bear interest at
     LIBOR plus 85 to 100 basis points, require fees and have covenants
     requiring a minimum shareholders' equity and a maximum ratio of debt to
     net worth.  The maximum drawn under these facilities during the first
     quarter of 1995 was $66.8 million which was repaid in January from the
     proceeds of the senior notes issuance.  The weighted average interest rate
     on borrowings for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 was 7.0%.  There was no
     borrowing under these facilities at March 31, 1995.

              In January 1995 the Trust paid a $1.1 million note that had been
     issued in connection with the purchase of Queen Anne Plaza in December
     1994.  In connection with the buyout of a tenant at Queen Anne Plaza in
     January 1995, the Trust issued a noninterest bearing note payable of $2.2
     million, due in annual installments of $200,000 for 11 years.  Using an
     interest rate of 8 7/8%, the note has been recorded at its discounted
     value of $1.7 million.

     NOTE H - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

          During the first three months of 1995, 7,744 shares were issued at
     prices ranging from $15.00 a share to $20.50 a share as the result of the
     exercise of stock options.  The Trust accepted a note from one of its
     officers of $5,002 in connection  with the issuance of certain of these
     shares.
        
              On February 15, 1995, 719,000 options at $20.75 were granted to
     employees of the Trust.

     NOTE I - INTEREST EXPENSE

              The Trust incurred interest expense totaling $9.2 million during
     the first quarter of 1995 and $8.2 million during the first quarter of
     1994, of which $75,000 and $107,000, respectively, were capitalized. 
     Interest paid was $6.7 million in the first quarter of 1995 and $6.5
     million in the first quarter of 1994.

     NOTE J - 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 case
     involving another real estate investment trust, the New Jersey tax court
     recently ruled that the dividends paid deduction was allowable.  However,
     the State of New Jersey has appealed this ruling.

              Included in the Trust's investments is $3.0 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.

          As previously reported, certain of the Trust's shopping centers have
     some environmental contamination.  The North Carolina Department of the
     Environment, Health and Natural Resources ("DEHNR") issued a Notice of
     Violation ("NOV") against a former drycleaner 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.  The Trust has entered into an agreement with two
     previous owners of the shopping center to share the costs to assess and
     remediate.  In 1993 the Trust recorded a liability of $120,000 as its
     estimated share of the clean up costs.

              In 1992 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

                                          11
<PAGE>






     matter.  At this time, the Trust is unable to determine what the range of
     remediation costs might be.  The Trust had 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.  One site has been cleared.  The Trust intends to look to the
     responsible parties for any remediation effort at the other property. 
     Evaluation of the remaining situation 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, 1995 in connection with certain redevelopment
     projects and tenant fitouts, the Trust is contractually obligated on
     contracts of approximately $2.9 million.  At March 31, 1995 the Trust is
     also contractually obligated under leases with tenants to provide
     approximately $7.9 million for improvements.

     NOTE K - COMPONENTS OF RENTAL INCOME

              The components of rental income for the three months ended March
     31 are as follows:

                           FEDERAL REALTY INVESTMENT TRUST
                                      FORM 10-Q
                                    MARCH 31, 1995

                       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 revolving 
     credit facilities, 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.

          In February 1995 the Trust purchased a main street retail building
     for $2.0 million in cash.  During the first quarter of 1995 the Trust
     spent   $8.6 million on tenant work and improvements to its properties;
     these improvements included: (1) $2.6 million on Congressional Plaza whose
     redevelopment is in the final phases; (2) $1.7 million to buy out a below
     market lease at Queen Anne Plaza; and (3) $900,000 on Gaithersburg Square
     which is currently being expanded, redeveloped and retenanted.

              On January 19, 1995 the Trust issued $100.0 million of 8 7/8%
     Notes, due January 15, 2000, netting proceeds of approximately $98.9
     million.  The proceeds from this issuance were used to repay a $22.5
     million mortgage, to repay $66.8 million which was outstanding on its
     revolving credit facilities and to partially fund the first quarter
     property acquisitions and improvements. 

              The Trust has available $130.0 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, 1995 there was no borrowing under
     these facilities.  The maximum amount borrowed under these facilities
     during the first quarter of 1995 was $66.8 million.  Amounts advanced
     under these facilities bear interest at LIBOR plus 85 - 100 basis points;
     the weighted average interest rate on borrowings during the quarter was
     7.0%.  

          The  Trust is committed under leases for approximately $7.9 million
     in tenant work.  In addition the Trust has budgeted  approximately $39
     million for the remainder of 1995  for improvements to its properties,
     including the renovations of Brick Plaza, Gaithersburg Square and the
     completion of the renovation of Congressional Plaza.  Furthermore, the
     Trust is actively seeking to acquire shopping centers in its core major
     metropolitan markets and to acquire retail buildings in densely developed

                                          13
<PAGE>






     urban and suburban areas.  The Trust is also continuing to study site
     acquisitions in its core markets to permit the Trust to develop shopping
     centers.  These expenditures will be funded with the revolving credit
     facilities pending their permanent financing with either equity or debt. 

          On April 5, 1995 the Trust purchased a 125,800 square foot portfolio
     of seven retail buildings in the West Hartford, Connecticut area for $15.2
     million.  Then on April 12, 1995 the Trust purchased a 35,500 square foot
     retail building in Greenwich, Connecticut for $12.9 million.  These
     expenditures were funded with available cash and the revolving credit
     facilities until April 21, 1995 when the Trust issued $25.0 million of 8%
     senior notes due 2002, the proceeds from which were used to repay the
     revolving credit facilities.

          On April 27, 1995 the Trust purchased the 302,000 square foot Finley
     Square Shopping Center in Downers Grove, Illinois for cash of
     approximately $18.0 million.

          The Trust believes that the amounts available under its revolving
     credit facilities provide it with the liquidity needed for its short term
     renovation and acquisition plans.  The Trust believes that the
     unencumbered value of its properties and its access to the capital
     markets, as demonstrated by its past success in raising capital, give it
     the ability to raise the capital, both debt and equity, needed to fund its
     long term capital and debt repayment needs.

     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 case involving another
     real estate investment trust, the New Jersey tax court recently ruled that
     the dividends paid deduction was allowable.  However, the State of New
     Jersey has appealed this ruling.

              Included in the Trust's investments is $3.0 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.

              As previously reported, certain of the Trust's shopping centers
     have some environmental contamination.  The North Carolina Department of
     the Environment, Health and Natural Resources ("DEHNR") issued a Notice of
     Violation ("NOV") against a drycleaner 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.  The Trust has entered into an agreement with two previous

                                          14

     owners of the shopping center to share the costs to assess and remediate. 
     In 1993 the Trust recorded a liability of $120,000 as its estimated share
     of the clean up costs.

              In 1992 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 had also previously 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. One site has been cleared. The Trust intends to look to the
     responsible parties for any remediation effort at the other property. 
     Evaluation of the remaining situation 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.


     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995 AND 1994


              The Trust has historically reported its funds from operations in
     addition to its net income.  Funds from operations is a supplemental
     measure of real estate companies' operating performance which excluded
     historical cost depreciation, since real estate values have historically
     risen and fallen with market conditions rather than over time.  Funds from
     operations was defined as income before depreciation and amortization and
     extraordinary items less gains on sale of real estate.  The National
     Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") has recently
     issued a white paper, which has amended the definition as follows:  income
     before depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and before
     extraordinary items and significant non-recurring events less gains on
     sale of real estate.  The Trust intends to comply with this new definition
     and has consequently restated funds from operations for prior periods.  
     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.  Rather, funds from operations has been adopted to provide a
     consistent measure of operating performance in the industry.  

          The reconciliation of net income to funds from operations for the
     three months ended March 31 is as follows:

              Funds from operations increased 35% to $14.6 million in the first
     quarter of 1995 from $10.8 million in the first quarter of 1994.  

              Rental income, which consists of minimum rent, percentage rent
     and cost recoveries, increased 9% from $31.5 million in the first quarter
     of 1994 to $34.4 million in the first quarter of 1995.  If rental income
     is adjusted to remove the effect of properties purchased in 1994 and 1995,
     it increased 4%.  Forty-five percent of the increase is from Congressional
     Plaza, which was renovated and retenanted in 1994.  Ellisburg Circle,
     whose redevelopment was completed in 1994, contributed
     an additional 14% of the increase.

          Minimum rent increased 14% from $23.8 million in the first quarter of
     1994 to $27.2 million in the first quarter of 1995.  If properties
     purchased in 1994 and 1995 are excluded, minimum rent increased $2.0
     million or 8.5%.  A major component of this increase is contributions from
     recently renovated centers and from the retenanting of some anchor spaces. 
     Cost recoveries have decreased from $6.1 million in the first quarter of
     1994 to $5.7 million in the first quarter of 1995, primarily because of a
     decrease of $1.6 million in snow removal expense from 1994 to 1995.
       
          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 $1.3 million in 1994 to $1.5 million in 1995
     due principally to a commission on telephone services.

              Rental expenses have decreased from $10.1 million in the first
     quarter of 1994 to $8.0 million in the first quarter of 1995, despite the
     acquisition of new properties in 1994 and 1995.  The major decrease is in
     snow removal expense, but there was also a significant decrease in bad
     debt and related expenses.  Real estate tax expense has increased because
     of the new properties and because of increased assessments at several
     centers.  


              Interest expense has increased from $8.2 million during the first
     quarter of 1994 to $9.2 million during the comparable period of 1995.
     Interest expense on the $100 million of senior notes issued January 1995
     exceeds the interest saved due to the redemption in April 1994 of most of
     the convertible subordinated debentures due 2002.  The ratio of earnings

                                          16
<PAGE>






     to fixed charges was 1.69x in 1995 and 1.47x in 1994.  The ratio of funds
     from operations to fixed charges was 2.53x in 1995 and 2.26x in 1994.

              Depreciation and amortization expense has increased because of
     the recent acquisitions and because of depreciation on tenant work and
     recent property improvements.

                      As a result of the foregoing items, primarily the
     increases in rental income and the decreases in rental expense, net income
     rose from $4.1 million in the first quarter of 1994 to $6.6 million in the
     first quarter of 1995.

                            EXCLUSIVE BROKERAGE AGREEMENT

     This Agreement is made and entered into on this 6th day of February, 1995
     by and between Street Retail, Inc., a Maryland corporation and wholly-
     owned subsidiary of Federal Realty Investment Trust ("Client"), and
     Westport Advisors Corporation ("Broker").

     In consideration of the mutual covenants set forth in this Agreement, the
     parties agree as follows:

     1.       Client hereby appoints Broker as its exclusive real estate
     advisor for the purchase of urban retail buildings (i.e. not traditional
     "strip" shopping centers or shopping malls) located in Connecticut and
     Westchester County, New York (the "Metro Area").  Broker shall perform the
     duties of a real estate advisor; specifically, Broker shall conduct
     searches for properties which fit the criteria established by Client and
     assist Client with all aspects of the due diligence process in order to
     enable Client to evaluate the desirability and feasibility of acquiring
     such properties or any interest therein; such assistance shall include
     collecting and providing Client with market information such as
     demographics, information on competing properties, comparable rentals and
     sales and assistance in the appraisal and underwriting of the properties.

     2.       Broker represents and warrants that:

              a)      Broker will act in accordance with the highest
                      professional standards of the industry and in compliance
                      with all applicable laws, regulations, codes, ordinances
                      and orders.

              b)      There are no obligations, commitments, or impediments of
                      any kind that will limit or prevent the Broker's
                      performance of its services and obligations pursuant to
                      this Agreement.

              c)      The Broker is duly licensed as a real estate broker in
                      the State of Connecticut and New York.

              d)      Broker will perform its services in a professional manner
                      and in the most expeditious and economical manner
                      consistent with the interest of Client.

              e)      Advisor is an independent contractor and not an employee
                      of Client.

     3.       Broker's authority is limited to performing the services in
     accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Broker does not have any
     authority to enter into or execute any agreement for or on behalf of
     Client.  No written proposals, offers or other information concerning
     Client shall be distributed without Client's prior written consent, which
     may be withheld in Client's sole and absolute discretion.  Client shall
     have the right to specify Broker's degree of involvement, if any, with

                                          1
<PAGE>






     respect to any negotiation of any contract of sale ("Contract of Sale"). 
     Broker acknowledges that entering into a Contract of Sale involves
     negotiation of complex provisions and issues, including business, tax and
     operational issues and liabilities relating to a property, and that
     Client, therefore, expressly reserves the right to reject any and all
     proposals for a Contract of Sale and to approve any and all terms and
     conditions of any proposed Contract of Sale as Client sees fit, in
     Client's sole and absolute discretion.

     4.       The term of this Agreement ("Term") shall commence on January 1,
     1995 and end at midnight on December 31, 1995, unless sooner terminated in
     accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.  

     5.       Client shall pay Broker a commission (the "Commission") equal to
     1.50% (one and one-half percent) of the first twenty-five million dollars
     ($25,000,000) of the aggregate gross sales price of the properties
     acquired subject to this Agreement (i.e. each urban retail building, or
     buildings located in the Metro Area) (hereinafter, the "Properties") and
     2.00% (two percent) of the aggregate gross sales price of the Properties
     acquired subject to this Agreement thereafter.  Notwithstanding the
     foregoing, Commissions on the Udolf Portfolio, People's Bank and Mel
     Gordon Properties will be paid in accordance with Exhibit A attached
     hereto and will be specifically excluded from the $25,000,000 amount
     referenced above.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a seller of
     one or more Properties has a broker representing its interest and the
     seller is paying a commission to such broker, Broker shall negotiate with
     the seller's broker to receive a portion of the commission paid by seller. 
     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the
     following shall be conditions precedent to Client's obligation to pay the
     Commission:

              a)      The execution and delivery by Client and seller of a
                      Contract of Sale for one or more Properties acceptable in
                      form and substance to Client, in Client's sole and
                      absolute discretion; and

              b)      The actual closing of the sale, including Client's
                      payment of all monies due at closing, and transfer of
                      title, or other evidence of ownership, to Client.

     Failure of either of these conditions shall preclude any claim for a
     Commission by Broker.

     It is further understood that the Commission shall be paid to Broker if,
     (i) within One Hundred Eighty (180) days after the expiration or
     termination of the Term, Client enters into a Contract of Sale for one or
     more Properties presented by Broker during the Term and named in a written
     list delivered to Client by Broker within ten (10) days following the
     expiration of the Term or the termination of this Agreement, (ii) such
     purchase is ultimately consummated, and (iii) the two conditions precedent
     to Client's obligation to pay the Commission, as set forth above, have
     been met.  Broker's Commission shall be the sole compensation paid to

                                          2
<PAGE>






     Broker and Broker shall not be entitled to reimbursement for any expenses
     or any other sums Broker incurs related to or involving the performance of
     the services.  The Commission shall be paid to Broker at closing and
     Client hereby authorizes the attorney or title company conducting the
     closing to disburse the Commission to Broker at such closing.  The
     Commission shall be payable if the transfer or sale is structured as a
     cash sale, like-kind exchange, partial sale, joint venture, newly formed
     partnership or transfer of stock.

     6.       In no event shall Client be responsible to pay any persons or
     entities, other than Broker, any commissions or other remunerations of any
     kind in connection with this Agreement or by virtue of their association
     with Broker.  Further, Client shall not be obligated to see to the
     application of the Commission, if any, due under this Agreement or the
     payment of any other remuneration for the benefit of any persons or
     entities other than Broker, and no other persons or entity shall be a
     third party beneficiary of this Agreement.  Broker shall be solely
     responsible for the direct payment of any commissions or other
     remuneration of any kind due to other persons or entities claiming
     entitlement to a share of the Commission or any other remuneration under
     this Agreement or by virtue of their association with Broker.  Broker
     hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Client harmless from and against any
     and all claims, demands, obligations, liabilities, losses and damages
     (including, without limitation, attorney's fees of counsel selected by
     Client) arising directly or indirectly out of or in connection with any
     claim for commissions or other remuneration of any kind for any person or
     entity claiming by, through or under Broker or relating in any way to this
     Agreement, or Broker's actions or failure to act pursuant to this
     Agreement; it being understood and agreed that Client's liability
     hereunder shall be limited to the payment to Broker of the Commission, if
     any, owed under the Agreement.  This provision shall survive any
     termination of this Agreement. 

     7.       This Agreement may be terminated by either party upon thirty (30)
     days' written notice.  In the event of termination by either party, Broker
     shall be entitled to receive only that Commission which it has earned
     pursuant to and in accordance with Section 5 of this Agreement and Client
     shall have no further obligations or liabilities hereunder.

     8.       Broker's failure or refusal to perform or observe any obligation,
     covenant, or condition of this Agreement shall constitute an Event of
     Default.  Should an Event of Default occur, Client may, at its option,
     terminate this Agreement without affecting any other remedy which it may
     have at law or in equity.  Such termination shall be effective immediately
     upon Broker's receipt of written notice from Client.  In such event,
     Broker shall be entitled to receive only that Commission which it has
     earned pursuant to and in accordance with Section 5 of this Agreement,
     less any and all damages, losses, claims, costs and expenses incurred or
     suffered by Client as a result of Broker's failure or refusal to perform
     and Client shall have no further obligations or liabilities hereunder.

     9.       The name, "Federal Realty Investment Trust," refers to the
     Trustees, as trustees, but not individually or personally, under a Third
     Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust on file in the office of the
     Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia, which Declaration provides
     that neither the shareholders nor the Trustees, nor any officer, employee,
     representative or agent of Federal Realty Investment Trust shall be
     personally liable for the satisfaction of obligations of any nature
     whatsoever of Federal Realty Investment Trust.  Accordingly, and in
     addition to the other limitations on liability set forth herein, Broker
     hereby agrees to look solely to Street Retail, Inc.'s property or Federal
     Realty Investment Trust's trust property for the satisfaction of any claim
     arising from this Agreement and shall not seek to impose personal
     liability on any shareholder, Trustee, officer, employee, representative
     or agent of Federal Realty Investment Trust.  A similar limitation on
     liability shall be inserted in each document executed by Street Retail,
     Inc. (if any) pursuant to this Agreement. 

     10.      Whenever any demand, request, approval consent or notice
     ("Notice") shall or may be given by one party to the other, Notice shall
     be addressed to the parties at their respective addresses as set forth
     below and delivered by (i) hand, (ii) facsimile, (iii) a nationally
     recognized overnight express courier, or (iv) registered or certified mail
     return receipt requested.  The date of actual receipt shall be deemed the
     date of service of Notice.  In the event an addressee refuses to accept
     delivery, however, then Notice shall be deemed to have been served on
     either (i) the date hand delivery is refused, (ii) the next business day
     in the case of delivery by overnight courier, or (iii) three (3) business
     days after mailing the notice in the case of registered or certified mail. 
     Either party may, at any time, change its Notice address by giving the
     other party Notice, in accordance with the above, stating the change and
     setting forth the new address.
