On Kimco Realty's fourth quarter 2024 earnings call, President and Chief Investment Officer Ross Cooper discussed the company's redevelopment strategy, noting that it remains retail-driven and opportunistic. He addressed a question about the Coulter Place project, stating that its stabilized yield had not dropped from the prior quarter, and that the range was tightened because only one project was posted.

He also said that Blackstone's ROIC acquisition announcement in November appeared to be "the turning point, giving the sector an aggressive stamp of approval that the shopping center sector is one of the top convictions for investment opportunities."
