                     This Amendment No. 18 ("Amendment No. 18") is filed by
Security Capital Group Incorporated, a Maryland corporation ("Security Capital
Group"), SC Capital Incorporated, a Nevada corporation ("SC Capital") and a
wholly owned subsidiary of Security Capital Group, SC Realty Incorporated, a
Nevada corporation ("SC-Realty") and a wholly owned subsidiary of SC Capital,
Security Capital Operations Incorporated, a Maryland corporation ("Operations")
and a wholly owned subsidiary of SC-Realty, Security Capital Shopping Mall
Business Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust and a subsidiary of
Operations (f/k/a Midwest Mixed-Use Realty Investors Trust) ("SC Shopping Mall
Business Trust"), General Electric Company, a New York corporation ("GE"),
General Electric Capital Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("GECS") and a
wholly owned subsidiary of GE, General Electric Capital Corporation, a Delaware
corporation ("GECC") and a wholly owned subsidiary of GECS, and GE Capital
International Holdings Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("GE Holdings" and,
together with GE, GECS, GECC, Security Capital Group, SC Capital, SC-Realty,
Operations and SC Shopping Mall Business Trust, the "Reporting Persons") and a
wholly owned subsidiary of GECC and the parent corporation of Security Capital
Group.

                     This Amendment No. 18 amends the Schedule 13D originally
filed by Security Capital U.S. Realty and Security Capital Holdings S.A. on June
21, 1996 (as previously amended, the "Schedule 13D"). This Amendment No. 18
relates to shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock"),
of Regency Centers Corporation, a Florida corporation (f/k/a Regency Realty
Corporation) ("Regency"). Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall
have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Schedule 13D, as amended.

ITEM 4.              PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

                     On May 14, 2003, Security Capital Group delivered a written
request to Regency (the "Registration Request") exercising certain rights that
it has pursuant to Section 2(a) of the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as
of July 10, 1996, by and among Regency, Security Capital Holdings S.A. and
Security Capital U.S. Realty (as previously amended, the "Registration Rights
Agreement"), to which Security Capital Group succeeded as successor to Security
Capital U.S. Realty, to request that Regency use its reasonable best efforts to
promptly file a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 for the
offering on a continuous or delayed basis in the future of 34,273,236 shares of
Common Stock (the "Registration Shares"), representing all of the shares of
Common Stock held of record by SC Shopping Mall Business Trust. A copy of the
Registration Request is filed as Exhibit 19 and a copy of a joint press release
issued by Security Capital Group and Regency on May 14, 2003 in connection with
the Registration Request is filed as Exhibit 20.

                     A registration statement must be filed by Regency and
declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission before the
Reporting Persons may sell any of the Registration Shares under the registration
statement. The purpose of the Reporting Persons in exercising such rights under
the Registration Rights Agreement is to enhance the liquidity of the
Registration Shares and to facilitate any future sales of the Registration


                                       11

Shares. It should be noted, however, that the registration of the Registration
Shares does not necessarily mean that the Reporting Persons will sell all or any
of the Registration Shares. If the registration statement is filed and declared
effective, the Reporting Persons may from time to time offer and sell any or all
of the Registration Shares. The Reporting Persons currently intend that, subject
to market conditions and the considerations listed below, the Reporting Persons
will sell approximately 4,700,000 of the Registration Shares in the next 30 to
60 days. The determination to conduct any sales of the Registration Shares will
be based on the continuing assessment by the Reporting Persons of market
conditions, market price of shares of Common Stock and other considerations
deemed relevant by the Reporting Persons at the time, and, notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Reporting Persons may determine not to sell any of the
Registration Shares. The possible plans and actions of the Reporting Persons
could be subject to change. The Reporting Persons will continue to review their
investment in the Common Stock and evaluate their plans and intentions as
previously described in this Schedule 13D (including, without limitation,
Amendment No. 13 hereto).
