About SIMON PROPERTY GROUP INC /DE/

Simon Property Group, Inc. (NYSE: SPG) is a leading U.S.-listed real estate investment trust based in Indianapolis, Indiana, United States. The company has deep historical roots: its founders assembled a collection of local retail assets beginning in 1960, and Simon later became a public company in 1993. Today, it is widely regarded as one of the most important owners and operators of premier retail real estate in the United States, with a portfolio that also extends across Europe and Asia. ([simon.com](https://www.simon.com/contact?utm_source=openai)) Simon’s core business is the ownership, operation, development and redevelopment of shopping malls, Premium Outlets, and mixed-use destinations. The company generates revenue primarily from rental income, management fees and related property revenues, while actively investing in redevelopments, expansions and experiential uses that can improve traffic and tenant productivity. Management consistently emphasizes high-quality assets in top markets, with a focus on premier consumer destinations rather than lower-tier retail properties. That positioning helps support stronger occupancy, better tenant sales and more durable rent growth than many peers. In its first-quarter 2025 disclosure, Simon reported U.S. Malls and Premium Outlets occupancy of 95.9%, alongside higher base minimum rent per square foot and solid retailer sales per square foot.

The company describes its properties as community gathering places that generate billions of dollars in annual sales, and it maintains a broad footprint across North America, Europe and Asia. Internationally, Simon has highlighted its ownership stake in Klépierre SA, its McArthurGlen investments, and a portfolio of international Premium Outlets, reinforcing its status as a global retail real estate platform rather than a purely domestic mall owner.

In 2025 Simon acquired The Mall Luxury Outlets in Italy, opened Jakarta Premium Outlets in Indonesia, and later completed the acquisition of the remaining 12% interest in Taubman Realty Group. The company also raised its quarterly dividend and increased its 2025 Real Estate FFO outlook, reflecting continued operating momentum and disciplined capital allocation. Full-year 2025 results, reported in February 2026, showed further growth in Real Estate FFO and healthy portfolio operating metrics, underscoring the resilience of Simon’s high-quality retail platform in a still-competitive consumer and e-commerce environment.
