BEACHWOOD, OH—DDR Corp. said Thursday it planned to spin off 50 of its shopping center properties in the US and Puerto Rico into a separate publicly traded REIT. The spin-off, which DDR says is a “significant portfolio repositioning,” is intended to concentrate the REIT’s core holdings into a smaller pool with higher growth potential.

The spin-off will be known as Retail Value Trust, and will include all 12 of DDR’s current holdings in Puerto Rico, along with 38 shopping centers in the continental US. Together, the properties have a book value of approximately $3.1 billion. RVT will be externally managed by DDR.
