November 5, 2007—Regency Centers, a national owner, operator and developer of grocery- anchored and community shopping centers, has formally announced plan to incorporate sustainable elements into its developments, operating properties and corporate operations.
The company adopted the recommendations of its green building task force, which was formed last year to study how Regency might best incorporate environmental sustainability into its business strategy and operations. In addition, the company has formed a partnership with the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) to create a method that would enable Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification for shopping center developments.
As of September 30, 2007, the Company owned 447 retail properties, including those held in co- investment partnerships. For more on the company, see its Web site.
