   interest rate which would enable the bonds to be remarketed at 100% of their
   principal amount.

                   FEDERAL REALTY INVESTMENT TRUST ANNOUNCES
                             1997 OPERATING RESULTS

Rockville, Maryland
February 11, 1998

     Federal Realty Investment Trust (NYSE:FRT) reported today that funds from
operations for the year ended December 31, 1997 increased 22% to $79.7 million
from $65.3 million in 1996.  On a per share basis, funds from operations rose
5.7% to $2.05 per share in 1997 from $1.94 in 1996.

     Funds from operations for the fourth quarter of 1997 rose 21% to $20.9
million or $.53 per share from $17.3 million or $.50 per share in the fourth
quarter of 1996.

     A comparison of property operations for the year ended 1997 versus 1996
shows the following:

 .    Rental income increased 14% to $188.5 million in 1997 from $164.9 million
     in 1996.  When  adjusted to exclude properties acquired and sold during
     1996 and 1997, rental income increased 5% to $165.6 million in 1997 from
     $158.0 million in 1996.

 .    During 1997, the Trust signed leases for a total 1.4 million square feet of
     retail space. On a same space basis, the Trust re-leased 1.1 million square
     feet at an average increase in rent per square foot of 17%. The weighted
     average rent on these leases was $16.40 per square foot compared to the
     previous average rent of $14.01 per square foot.

 .    During 1996, the Trust leased a total 1.6 million square feet. On a same
     space basis, 1.3 million square feet was re-leased at an average increase
     in rent per square foot of 21%. The weighted average rent on these leases
     was $15.67 per square foot compared to the previous average rent per square
     foot of $12.94.

 .    Same property occupancy stood at 95% at year end December 31, 1997 and
     1996.  The Trust's overall portfolio was 96% leased compared to 94% a year
     ago.

     Commenting on the results, Steven Guttman, President and Chief Executive
Officer stated, "Although the 5.7% increase in FFO per share was well below our
target level for long-term growth, in many other ways, 1997 was a very
successful year.  Demand for our retail space remains strong as evidenced by our
rental income growth and improved occupancies. We  continue to benefit from our
current redevelopment efforts and we've strengthened our development
capabilities to enable us to maximize and expand our current $400 million
pipeline of retail and mixed use urban development and redevelopment
opportunities. Our expansion to the west coast and New York metropolitan area is
going well.  With the addition of these new growth markets, we were able to
exceed our acquisition objective for the year.   As a company, we are very
focused on accelerating our funds from operations growth over the long term and
creating shareholder value."
