SITE Centers was founded in 1965 by Bert Wolstein as Developers Diversified Realty and went public in February 1993. The company rebranded to DDR Corp. in 2011 and later to SITE Centers Corp. For decades, the firm operated as a self-administered REIT focused on acquiring, developing, leasing, and managing open-air shopping centers in suburban communities with above-average household incomes across the United States. David R. Lukes has served as President and CEO since 2017, bringing extensive retail REIT experience from prior leadership roles at Equity One, Seritage Realty Trust, Olshan Properties, and Kimco Realty Corporation, where he served as COO. In 2024, SITE Centers spun off its convenience retail assets into Curbline Properties and shifted to a liquidation strategy focused on monetizing its remaining open-air shopping center portfolio and returning proceeds to shareholders. As of December 31, 2025, the company held 119 million in unrestricted cash and had sold over 66% of its assets measured by net operating income as of Q4 2024. During 2025, the company sold 14 properties for 752.5 million and paid off all consolidated mortgage debt. By Q4 2025, the portfolio had contracted from 170 shopping centers totaling 57.0 million square feet in 2019 to a significantly smaller footprint as sales accelerated. The company's tenant base historically included value-oriented and necessity-based retailers such as TJX Companies, PetSmart, Dick's Sporting Goods, Ulta Beauty, Ross Stores, and Nordstrom, alongside service tenants, restaurants, and specialty retailers. Properties were concentrated in suburban markets across the United States including Boston, Charlotte, Atlanta, Phoenix, Tampa, Cleveland, Charleston, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and South Florida. With 155 employees as of the end of 2025, the company maintained a lean operational structure during its wind-down phase. All remaining wholly-owned retail real estate assets are being marketed for sale as SITE Centers works toward maximizing shareholder value and completing its liquidation.
