History

In late 2003, Vicinity Centres (later Centro Properties Group), an Australian shopping center firm, and American-based Watt Commercial Realty formed Centro Watt, a joint venture, and acquired 14 shopping centers in California for $488 million.[2] In 2005, Centro acquired Kramont Reality Trust for $1.2 billion.[3] In May 2006, Sydney-based Westfield Group sold seven shopping centers to Centro Watt.[4] In 2007, Centro acquired Watt Companies' ownership stake, ending the joint venture, and renamed the company Centro Properties Group US.[5]

In 2011, The Blackstone Group acquired Centro Properties Group US from Centro Retail Trust, and the entity changed its name to Brixmor.[6][7][8]

In 2012, the company hired Madison Marquette to manage 7 centers that were acquired from Westfield Group.[9]

In October 2013, the company became a public company via initial public offering.[10][11]

In April 2016, president and CEO Michael Carroll, CFO Michael Pappagallo, and chief accounting officer Steven Splain resigned after an accounting scandal.[12][13] Jim Taylor was named CEO and president.[14]

In August 2016, The Blackstone Group sold its stake in the company.[15]
