                   FEDERAL REALTY INVESTMENT TRUST ANNOUNCES
                             1998 OPERATING RESULTS

February 10, 1999
Rockville, Maryland



     Federal Realty Investment Trust (NYSE:FRT) reported today that funds from
operations for the year ended December 31, 1998 increased 9% to $87 million from
$80 million in 1997.  On a per share basis, funds from operations rose 5% to
$2.16 per share in 1998 from $2.05 in 1997.  This increase was achieved despite
the change in accounting policy effective earlier this year (EITF 97-11) that
requires the expensing of certain internal acquisition costs.  If the 1997
results were adjusted for the accounting change, funds from operations per share
would have increased 7% from 1997 to 1998.

     Funds from operations for the fourth quarter of 1998 rose 10% to $23
million from $21 million in the fourth quarter of 1997.   On a per share basis,
funds from operations per share increased 8% to $.57 in the fourth quarter of
1998 as compared to $.53 per share in the comparable period of 1997.


     A comparison of property operations for the year ended 1998 versus 1997
shows the following:

 .       Rental income increased 18% to $222 million in 1998 from $189 million in
        1997. When adjusted to exclude properties acquired and sold during 1997
        and 1998, rental income increased 5% to $187 million in 1998 from $177
        million in 1997.


 .       During 1998, 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 of retail space at an average increase in rent per square
        foot of 17%. The weighted average rent on these leases was $17.62 per
        square foot compared to the previous average rent of $15.12 per square
        foot. During 1997, the Trust leased a total 1.4 million 
<PAGE>
 
        square feet. On a same space basis, 1.1 million square feet was re-
        leased 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 per square foot of $14.01.



 .       Same property occupancy stood at 95.0% at year end December 31, 1998 and
        95.6% at year end 1997. The Trust's overall portfolio was 95.2% leased
        at December 31, 1998 as compared to 95.6% a year ago.


     Commenting on the results, Steven Guttman, President and Chief Executive
Officer stated, "We are optimistic about our long-term growth prospects.  Demand
for our retail space remains strong as evidenced by our rental income growth and
high occupancy levels. In addition, our comprehensive corporate reengineering
initiative is expected to yield cost and revenue opportunities that will add
positively to our growth beginning in 1999.  We continue to benefit from our
acquisition and redevelopment efforts and have strengthened our development
capabilities and formed strategic partnerships that will enable us to maximize
and expand our pipeline of retail and mixed-use urban development and
redevelopment opportunities.  Collectively,  these initiatives should position
us for accelerated growth in 1999 and beyond."
