o  Same store NOI for the Company's retail portfolio increased by 4.3% from the
   second quarter of 2003.

See the financial tables on pages 10 and 11 for a reconciliation of the terms

(EBITDA) as used in this release to net income, the most directly comparable
GAAP measure.

Ronald Rubin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of PREIT, stated,"Our second
quarter results reflect the inherent quality of our properties and our ability
to create growth from within our portfolio. Our recent announcement regarding
Wal-Mart's move to Echelon Mall in Voorhees, NJ is a clear example of the way
PREIT takes creative approaches to revitalizing properties."

During 2003, the Company completed the sale of all the properties and joint
venture investments that comprised its multifamily portfolio. The 15
wholly-owned multifamily properties are classified as discontinued operations on
the consolidated statement of income for the second quarter of 2003 and six
months ended June 30, 2003. The four joint-venture multifamily properties are
included as continuing operations for the second quarter of 2003 and six months
ended June 30, 2003.

Also, as of June 30, 2004, six malls that were acquired in the November 2003
merger with Crown American Realty Trust ("Crown") are classified as assets held
for sale on the consolidated balance sheet and as discontinued operations on the
consolidated statement of income. Five of the six malls are currently under
agreement of sale. These five malls are Bradley Square Mall in Cleveland,
Tennessee; Martinsburg Mall in Martinsburg, West Virginia; Mount Berry Square
Mall in Rome, Georgia; Shenango Valley Mall in Hermitage, Pennsylvania; and West
Manchester Mall in York, Pennsylvania. The sixth mall, Schuylkill Mall in
Frackville, Pennsylvania, will continue to be held for sale by the Company.
Also, Rio Grande Mall, a joint venture property, in Rio Grande, New Jersey, is
under agreement of sale, and is included in continuing operations.


SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
Net income available to common shareholders for the second quarter ended June
30, 2004 was $7,989,000, or $0.21 per diluted share, on 35,737,000 weighted
average common shares outstanding (diluted), compared with $144,638,000, or
$8.54 per diluted share, on 16,931,000 weighted average common shares
outstanding (diluted) for the second quarter of 2003. Net income for the second
quarter of 2003 included a gain on sale of $150,201,000 from the sale of 13
wholly-owned multifamily properties and $4,401,000 from the sale of the
Company's interests in two joint venture multifamily properties.

For the second quarter of 2004, the Company's FFO increased by 129% to
$34,007,000 from $14,843,000 for the second quarter of 2003.

FFO per share increased by 7.5% to $0.86 in the second quarter of 2004 from
$0.80 in the second quarter of 2003. Weighted average shares outstanding

NOI from wholly-owned properties and the Company's proportionate share of
partnerships and joint venture properties increased by 135% to $64,814,000 for
the second quarter of 2004 from $27,584,000 for the second quarter of 2003.

The results of the second quarter of 2004 reflect the acquisition of 26
wholly-owned shopping malls and the remaining 50% interest in Palmer Park Mall
in Easton, Pennsylvania as a result of the Company's merger with Crown on
November 20, 2003. The results of the second quarter of 2004 also reflect the
2003 acquisition of six shopping malls from The Rouse Company, the purchase in
2003 of the remaining 70% interest in Willow Grove Park in Willow Grove,
Pennsylvania and the purchase of The Gallery at Market East II in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania in May, 2004. The increase in FFO and NOI in the second quarter of
2004 from these acquisitions was partially offset by the disposition of the
Company's 15 wholly-owned multifamily properties that were included as
discontinued operations during the second quarter of 2003 and the four joint
venture multifamily properties that were also sold in 2003 and were included as
continuing operations for the second quarter of 2003.

Revenues in the second quarter of 2004 were reduced by $203,000 due to the
amortization of above-and below-market lease intangibles (application of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141) compared to
$130,000 in the second quarter of 2003. Interest expense for the second quarter
of 2004 was reduced by $4,848,000 due to debt premium amortization compared to
$1,118,000 in the second quarter of 2003.

The per share amounts that were used to calculate net income per diluted share
were affected by the increase in weighted average shares outstanding, primarily
with regard to the 6.3 million common shares issued in connection with the
Company's public offering in August 2003 and the 11.7 million common shares
issued in connection with the merger with Crown in November 2003. FFO per share
was also affected by the 1.7 million Operating Partnership units issued in
connection with the merger with Crown in November 2003.

SIX-MONTH RESULTS
Net income available to common shareholders for the six months ended June 30,
2004 was $13,549,000, or $0.37 per diluted share, on 35,714,000 weighted average
shares of beneficial interest outstanding (diluted) compared to $149,615,000, or
$8.87 per diluted share, on 16,874,000 weighted average shares of beneficial
interest outstanding (diluted) for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Net
income for the six months ended June 30, 2003 included gains on sale of
$155,714,000 comprised of $150,201,000 from the sale of 13 wholly-owned
multifamily properties, $4,401,000 from the sale of the Company's interests in
two joint venture multifamily properties and $1,112,000 from the sale of land at
Crest Plaza Shopping Center in Allentown, Pennsylvania to Target.

FFO for the six months ended June 30, 2004 totaled $67,438,000, an increase of
156% over $26,376,000 for the comparable six-month period in 2003.

FFO per share for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004 increased by 19.6% to
$1.71 on 39,393,000 weighted average shares outstanding, compared to $1.43 per
share on 18,461,000 weighted average shares outstanding for the six months ended
June 30, 2003.

NOI from wholly-owned properties and the Company's proportionate share of
partnerships and joint venture properties totaled $127,659,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of 178% compared to $45,863,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 2003.

The results of the six months ended June 30, 2004 reflect the acquisition of 26
wholly-owned shopping malls and the remaining 50% interest in Palmer Park Mall
in Easton, Pennsylvania as a result of the Company's merger with Crown on
November 20, 2003. These results also reflect the 2003 acquisition of six
shopping malls from The Rouse Company, the purchase in 2003 of the remaining 70%
interest in Willow Grove Park in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania and the purchase of
The Gallery at Market East II in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The increase in FFO
and NOI in the second quarter of 2004 from these acquisitions was partially
offset by the disposition of the Company's 15 wholly-owned multifamily
properties that were included as discontinued operations and the four joint
venture multifamily properties that were also sold in 2003 and were included as
continuing operations for the second quarter 2003.The increase was also offset
by approximately $1,200,000 of bad debt expense related to tenants in
bankruptcy, including KB Toys, Gadzooks and FootAction and additional general
and administrative expenses related to corporate governance matters and the
integration with Crown, which were mentioned in the Company's press release on
June 17, 2004.

RETAIL PERFORMANCE & OCCUPANCY LEVELS
In the second quarter of 2004, same store NOI for the Company's retail portfolio
increased by 4.3%, or $631,000 compared to the second quarter of 2003, primarily
as a result of a 3.9% increase in total revenues.

Occupancy in the Company's same store retail portfolio increased to 95.2% as of
June 30, 2004, 140 basis points higher than the 93.8% occupancy rate as of June
30, 2003.

The Company's power centers and enclosed malls were 98.0% and 90.2% occupied,
respectively, as of June 30, 2004, compared to 97.7% and 88.0% occupied,
respectively, as of June 30, 2003. The Company's same store mall properties
reported sales of $348 per square foot in the trailing twelve months ended June
30, 2004, as compared to $350 per square foot in the comparable period ended
June 30, 2003.

LEASING UPDATE
During the second quarter of 2004, the Company executed 119 retail leases
encompassing 257,254 square feet at an average rent per square foot of $24.95.
New leases for previously leased space accounted for 17 transactions totaling
42,013 square feet at an average rent of $32.96, or $8.37 higher than the
average rent per square foot at the time of expiration. Eighty tenants renewed
leases, representing 178,337 square feet at an average renewal rent of $22.57
per square foot, an increase of $0.88 per square foot over the rent at
expiration. The Company also executed transactions for 22 formerly vacant spaces
totaling 36,904 square feet with an average rent of $27.35 per square foot.

PORTFOLIO COMPOSITION
The Company ended the second quarter of 2004 with investments in real estate
(excluding assets held for sale) of $2,528,585,000, an increase of $54,376,000
from $2,474,209,000 at the end of the first quarter of 2004. The increase is
primarily due to the acquisitions of The Gallery at Market East II and the
remaining 27% ownership interest in Cherry Hill Mall.

greatest potential for growth."

for its redevelopment and development activities and opportunistic acquisitions
which may arise."

F. McCadden to our management team as Chief Financial Officer enhances our
operational capabilities and strategic focus."

DEFINITIONS
The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") defines
Funds From Operations ("FFO") which is a non-GAAP measure, as income before
gains (losses) on sales of property and extraordinary items (computed in
accordance with GAAP); plus real estate depreciation; plus or minus adjustments
for unconsolidated partnership and joint ventures to reflect funds from
operations on the same basis. FFO is a commonly used measure of operating
performance and profitability in the REIT industry, and we use FFO as a
supplemental non-GAAP measure to compare our company's performance to that of
our industry peers. In addition, we use FFO as a performance measure for
determining bonus amounts earned under certain of our performance-based
executive compensation programs. The Company computes FFO in accordance with
standards established by NAREIT, which may not be comparable to FFO reported by
other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT
definition, or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than the
Company. FFO does not include gains (losses) on real estate assets, which are
included in the determination of net income in accordance with GAAP.
Accordingly, FFO is not a comprehensive measure of our operating cash flows. In
addition, since FFO does not include depreciation on real estate assets, FFO may
not be a useful performance measure when comparing our operating performance to
that of other non-real estate commercial enterprises. We compensate for these
limitations by using FFO in conjunction with other GAAP financial performance
measures, such as net income and net cash provided by operating activities, and
other non-GAAP financial performance measures such as net operating income. FFO
does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with
GAAP and should not be considered to be an alternative to net income (determined
in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of the Company's financial performance
or to be an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (determined in
accordance with GAAP) as a measure of the Company's liquidity, nor is it
indicative of funds available for the Company's cash needs, including its
ability to make cash distributions.

The Company believes that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP
measurement to FFO. The Company believes that FFO is helpful to management and
investors as a measure of operating performance because it excludes various
items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of
operating performance, such as various non-recurring items that are considered
extraordinary under GAAP, gains on sales of real estate and depreciation and
amortization of real estate.

Net operating income ("NOI"), which is a non-GAAP measure, is derived from
revenues (determined in accordance with GAAP) minus property operating expenses
(determined in accordance with GAAP). Net operating income is a non-GAAP
measure. It does not represent cash generated from operating activities in
accordance with GAAP and should not be considered to be an alternative to net
income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of the Company's
financial performance or to be an alternative to cash flow from operating
activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of the Company's
liquidity; nor is it indicative of funds available for the Company's cash needs,
including its ability to make cash distributions. The Company believes that net
income is the most directly comparable GAAP measurement to net operating income.

The Company believes that net operating income is helpful to management and
investors as a measure of operating performance because it is an indicator of
the return on property investment, and provides a method of comparing property
performance over time. Net operating income excludes general and administrative
expenses, management company revenues, interest income, interest expense,
depreciation and amortization, income from discontinued operations and gains on
sales of interests in real estate.

EBITDA is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. On a
property level, EBITDA and NOI are equivalent; however, certain corporate
revenues and expenses are added and deducted to/from NOI to derive EBITDA on a
company wide basis. Specifically, management company revenues and interest
income are added to NOI while corporate payroll and other general and
administrative expenses are deducted from NOI to calculate EBITDA. The Company
believes that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measurement to
EBITDA. The Company believes that EBITDA helps the Company and its investors
evaluate the ongoing operating performance of its properties and facilitate
comparisons with other REITs and real estate companies. These measures assist
management by providing a baseline to assess property-level results,
particularly as the Company acquires or sells assets. The EBITDA measures
presented by the Company may not be comparable to other similarly titled
measures of other companies.
