Regency Centers is a national real estate investment trust that owns, operates, and develops grocery-anchored and retail-focused shopping centers in suburban trade areas. The company's portfolio is concentrated in major markets across the United States, with a significant presence in California, including Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay Area, and San Diego; Florida, with properties in Miami, Jacksonville, and Tampa; and the New York metropolitan area. Other key investment regions include Texas, particularly Houston, as well as the major metropolitan areas of Atlanta and Washington D.C. As a fully integrated real estate company, Regency Centers actively pursues growth through the acquisition of high-quality properties and implements a robust strategy of ground-up development and redevelopment of its assets.
Regency Centers continues to focus on growing its portfolio of grocery-anchored shopping centers in affluent suburban trade areas through targeted development, redevelopment, and strategic acquisitions. The company is currently digesting its large-scale acquisition of Urstadt Biddle Properties, which closed in August 2023. This $1.4 billion stock-for-stock transaction expanded the company's presence in the Northeast and was executed at an implied cap rate in the low 7% range. Regency management has maintained a strategy of conservative leverage while reinvesting capital into property upgrades and new site developments.
On October 27, 2025, the board of directors declared a 7.1% increase to the company's quarterly common stock dividend, raising it from $0.705 to $0.755 per share. This change took effect with the dividend paid in January 2026 and has remained at this level through the first half of 2026. In addition to the dividend increase, the company’s board authorized a new $500 million share repurchase program on February 4, 2026, representing approximately 3.4% of existing outstanding shares.
