Paul, A lot of other pref shares to look at. All of these reits have lowered their common dividend, which makes the pref even safer. I put no faith in any ratings. The (lower) common dividends are generally covered by OPERATING FFO by a 40% to 100+% margin.

UPDATE:
stock / div / yield / debt:equity
FR-K $1.81 20% 2:1
BDN-D $1.84 18% 1.8:1
CLP-D $2.03 13% 1.2:1
DRE-N $1.81 15% 1.5:1
HRP-C $1.78 14% 1.4:1
