Lisa Palmer, president and CEO of Regency Centers, discussed the resilience of grocery-anchored shopping centers in a June 2026 video interview at Nareit’s REITweek conference. She stated that these centers continue to outperform because they meet everyday consumer needs with convenience, value, and essential services, and noted that demand remains broad-based, led by food and beverage, with strength also in service, fitness, and medical tenants. Palmer said the pandemic provided a renewed appreciation for physical locations among both retailers and consumers, adding that online and physical retail are complementary, not competitive. She reported that Regency has over $600 million in development and redevelopment currently in process, with plans for another $1 billion over the next three years, and that returns on development are greater than those from acquisitions. On the company’s Q4 2025 earnings call in February 2026, Palmer highlighted Regency’s success in 2025, attributing it to the quality of its grocery-anchored shopping centers, its operating and investment platforms, and its team. She noted that tenant health indicators, including accounts receivable and foot traffic, were strong, and that the company was planning for a historically average year in 2026. Palmer emphasized that Regency is well positioned due to the essential nature of its merchants and the convenience and value its centers provide, and expressed encouragement that Amazon’s Whole Foods expansion signaled a continued commitment to physical stores.
