Industry Context

Regency Centers operates in the real estate industry, specifically focusing on retail properties. The company is among the largest owners of shopping centers in the USA based on revenues, number of properties, GLA, and market capitalization. The company faces competition from numerous companies and individuals engaged in the same line of business, including grocery store chains that own shopping centers and also anchor some of the company's shopping centers. The company also faces competition from alternative shopping and delivery methods. Regency believes its competitive advantages are driven by the market areas in which it operates, the quality of its shopping centers, the compelling demographics surrounding its shopping centers, its relationships with tenants, its experienced leadership team, and its ability to successfully develop, redevelop, and acquire shopping centers.
