What Simon Property does

Largest US mall owner and operator, also owns outlet centers and international retail real estate.

Earns rent from tenants, usually a base rent plus extra when store sales pass a threshold, so retailers' sales matter. As a REIT it pays out most income as dividends. It bought a majority of Taubman, a luxury-mall owner, in 2020.

Products and services

  • Regional mall leasing
  • Premium outlet centers
  • International retail properties (joint ventures)

Customers

  • National/regional retailers
  • Restaurant and entertainment tenants

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • Real estate
  • Retail REIT
  • Malls and outlet centers

What could go right

  • Retailer demand for top-tier mall space
  • Redevelopment of mall real estate into mixed-use assets

What could go wrong

  • E-commerce shift reducing physical retail demand
  • Anchor-store bankruptcies/retail tenant closures

Moat: narrow (scale, installed base). Owns the highest-quality mall real estate in top US markets, which is difficult and costly to replicate.
