Regency Centers Announces Common Stock Offering


JACKSONVILLE, FL --(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Regency Centers Corporation (“Regency” or the “Company”) (NYSE: REG) today announced an underwritten public offering of 4,350,000 shares of its common stock. In addition, the Company will grant the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 652,500 shares of its common stock.

BofA Merrill Lynch and Wells Fargo Securities are acting as joint book-running managers for the offering.

The Company intends to use net proceeds from the offering, plus available cash balances, to redeem its outstanding $300 million 5.875% senior unsecured notes due June 15, 2017 (the “Notes”), including a required make-whole premium.

The Company also intends to use a portion of the net proceeds to settle in full forward starting swaps (the “Swaps”) with notional amounts of $220 million. Such Swaps were originally intended for a planned new debt issuance in 2017 to refinance the Notes now targeted for redemption. The make-whole premium and Swaps settlement are expected to total approximately $58 million.

There will be no impact to Core Funds from Operations (“Core FFO”) as a result of these one-time charges; however, the combined one-time charges will reduce net income attributable to common stockholders (“Net Income”) per share and NAREIT Funds From Operations (“NAREIT FFO”) per share by approximately $0.58 in the third quarter of 2016.

The estimated impacts to per share amounts for Net Income, NAREIT FFO and Core FFO do not include the interest savings for the remainder of 2016 as a result of the redemption of the Notes. The Company intends to use the remaining portion of the net proceeds, if any, to fund investment activities and for general corporate purposes.

Sunbeam Properties Raises Walls on New Office/Flex Building; MPC-30 adds 71,000 sq. ft. to the Miramar Park of Commerce







MIRAMAR, FL (July 11, 2016) – Sunbeam Properties & Development is raising the walls on MPC-30, a 70,948 sq.-ft. spec office/flex building at the Miramar Park of Commerce, the largest locally owned and managed business park in South Florida.

MPC-30 is the first office/flex building that Sunbeam has built in the Miramar Park of Commerce since 2006.


Maridee Bell
“Today, there is significant demand for high-quality flex/office space with high parking ratios in southwest Broward County. However, there is a limited supply of existing properties that meet those criteria,” said Jonathan Kingsley, executive vice president of Colliers International and broker for MPC-30.

“That, coupled with increasing rental rates for office and industrial space, has provided an opportunity for Sunbeam to contribute new flex space options to the market.”
  
MPC-30 will offer impact resistant glass, Miramar Parkway frontage with lighted signage, a five per thousand parking ratio and subdivision capability to accommodate a 5,000 sq.-ft. tenant. Interior features include 14 feet of clear ceiling height, a 126-foot non-shared truck court and bays that are 130 feet deep. Completion is scheduled for Q4.


“We are currently at 97 percent occupancy in our flex/office product at the Park, so the timing of MPC-30 is right,” said Maridee Bell, vice president of Sunbeam Properties. “This new building offers prospective tenants a location in a campus-style setting, Miramar Parkway frontage, excellent parking, private entrances to offices, extensive glass, individual signage, round-the-clock access and full control of their electric and HVAC systems.”

Matricaria, regional manager of the firm’s Tampa office. The asset sold for $4,500,000.

Nicholas Ledvora, CCIM, senior associate in the firm’s Tampa office, Chad E. Atwood, senior associate in the firm’s Jacksonville office, and John L. Graves, associate in the firm’s Orlando office, all had the exclusive listing to market the property on behalf of the seller, a limited liability company.  

The buyer, a limited liability company, was also secured and represented by the same brokerage team.

Orange City Town Center, a 35,250-square foot, multi-tenant, mixed-use property, is positioned on one of Volusia County’s primary retail arteries at 2751 Enterprise Road in Orange City, Florida.

John L. Graves
Built in 2007, the building has two floors with an approximately 18,300-square foot floor plate.
