Shopping center developer Regency Centers has proposed an acquisition of Houston-based counterpart AmReit in a merger that would unite major supermarket landlords in the South.
Regency, based in Jacksonville, Fla., proposed the deal by way of a public pronouncement, indicating AmReit was reticent to private talks between the companies. AmReit acknowledged the offer, which at $ 22 per share valued the developer at $ 433 million, and said its board of directors would consider it.
