History

SITE Centers was founded in 1965 by Bert Wolstein as Developers Diversified Realty, Inc.[2] After two years, the company built its first property, a KMart store in Eastlake, Ohio.[3]

On February 12, 1993 Developers Diversified Realty, Inc. became a public company after making its initial public offering.[citation needed] Two years later the company acquired ten power centers from Homart Development Company during that company's acquisition by GGP Inc.[4]

In 1998, the company acquired a portfolio of nine properties in Salt Lake City for $300 million.[5] In 2002 the company acquired JDN Realty Corporation for $436 million in stock.[6] In February 2011 the company's executive chairman, Scott Wolstein, resigned,[7] and the company was renamed to DDR Corp. that September.[8]

In December the company sold Town Center Plaza to Glimcher Realty Trust in exchange for Polaris Towne Center.[9]

In August 2013 DDR Corp. entered into a joint venture with Blackstone Group and acquired seven open-air shopping centers from Regency Centers Corporation for $332 million.[10] In March of the next year, the company agreed to exit its Brazilian joint venture by selling its stake to the firm's largest shareholder for $343.6 million.[11][12] In October 2014 DDR Corp. entered into a second joint venture with Blackstone Group, acquiring seventy shopping centers totaling 15.7 million square feet for $1.93 billion.[13][14]

In February 2015, David Oakes was appointed as president and chief executive officer of the company,[15] though was fired and replaced by Thomas August in July 2016.[16] In January 2016, the company sold Paseo Colorado to Cypress Equities.[17] In October of the same year, the company sold a 16-property portfolio for $390 million in a transaction brokered by HFF.[18]

In July 2018, the company completed the corporate spin-off of Retail Value, Inc.[19] Three months later, the company announced a name change to SITE Centers Corp.[20]
