CINCINNATI, March 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Phillips Edison & Company announced today the recent opening of two new offices in New York City, NY and Atlanta, GA. These offices will further expand the company's presence throughout the northeastern and southeastern regions of the country in an effort to better serve the needs of their clients, investors and associates.

Located in Rockefeller Center, the New York City office will facilitate the company's relationships with the finance community, while serving as a primary regional location in the northeast.
