NEW YORK, November 13, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Curbline Properties Corp. (NYSE: CURB), an owner of convenience shopping centers positioned on the curbline of well-trafficked intersections and major vehicular corridors in suburban, high household income communities, announced today recent acquisition activity along with leasing metrics for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

"Curbline is off to a strong start as an independent publicly traded company as we look to scale the first public real estate company focused exclusively on convenience properties located on the curbline in the wealthiest submarkets in the United States," commented David R. Lukes, President and Chief Executive Officer. "The Company has closed over $100 million of acquisitions in the fourth quarter to date in the highly fragmented but liquid convenience market.
