The PREIT corporate offices are located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It focuses on shopping centers in the eastern United States, particularly in the mid-Atlantic states of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland. As of June 7, 2012, Joseph F. Coradino is the chief executive officer.

During that year PREIT acquired six shopping malls from The Rouse Company, sold several multifamily residential properties, and completed a merger with Crown American Realty Trust.
