Retail real estate investment trusts (REITs) own, operate, or finance income-generating retail properties, including shopping centers, malls, strip malls, and other retail spaces, and generate revenue by leasing space to retail businesses. 

As is the case with all REITs, retail REITs are required to distribute a significant portion of their income to shareholders in the form of dividends, making them a popular choice for investors seeking income.

If you're interested in buying a retail REIT with a high yield, here are two you should consider today.

Federal Realty Investment Trust

Federal Realty Investment Trust FRT owns and manages a portfolio of mixed-use properties and open and shopping centers in top suburban markets, including Boston, Chicago, Miami, New York City, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Silicon Valley, and Washington, D.C.

Federal Realty currently pays a quarterly dividend of $1.09 per share, equating to an annualized dividend of $4.36 per share and giving its stock a yield of about 4.3% at the time of this writing. Federal Realty has also increased its quarterly dividend for 56 consecutive years, the longest record in the REIT industry, according to the company.

Its track record of dividend growth and high yield make Federal Realty one of the most attractive dividend stocks in the stock market today.
