Item 8.01: Other Events.

On October 14, 2010, Regency Centers Corporation issued a press release announcing that its operating partnership, Regency Centers, L.P. (the “Company”), has amended its previously announced cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) for up to $100 million in aggregate principal amount (the “Maximum Tender Offer Amount”) of its 6.75% Notes due 2012 (the “6.75% Notes”) and 7.95% Notes due 2011 (the “7.95% Notes”) (collectively, the “Notes”). The Company has extended the Early Tender Date from 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 14, 2010 to 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on October 28, 2010 (“Extended Early Tender Date”). Accordingly, holders of the Notes who validly tender and do not validly withdraw their Notes at or prior to the Extended Early Tender Date will receive the Total Consideration, which includes the Early Tender Consideration, each as described in the Offer to Purchase dated September 30, 2010 (“Offer to Purchase”).

The Withdrawal Deadline for the Tender Offer will continue to be 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 14, 2010. As such, holders who have tendered and not withdrawn their Notes at or prior to that time, and holders who tender their Notes after that time, may not withdraw their tendered Notes unless the Company (1) amends the terms of the Tender Offer (x) to decrease the amount of the applicable Tender Offer Consideration or Early Tender Consideration or (y) decreases the Maximum Tender Amount or (2) is otherwise required by law to permit withdrawal.

All other terms and conditions of the tender offer described in the Offer to Purchase dated September 30, 2010 and the related Letter of Transmittal, in each case as amended by the press release issued by Regency Centers Corporation on October 14, 2010, remain unchanged.

As of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 14, 2010, approximately $52.5 million principal amount of the 6.75% Notes and $11.8 million principal amount of the 7.95% Notes had been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn. In accordance with the terms of the Tender Offer, holders may continue to tender Notes until 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on October 28, 2010, unless extended or earlier terminated by the Company (such date and time, as may be extended, the “Expiration Date”).

A copy of the press release issued by Regency Centers Corporation on October 14, 2010 is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
