This Amendment No. 5 is filed by Security Capital
U.S. Realty ("Security Capital U.S. Realty"), a corporation
organized and existing under the laws of Luxembourg, and by
Security Capital Holdings S.A. ("Holdings"), a corporation or-
ganized and existing under the laws of Luxembourg and a wholly
owned subsidiary of Security Capital U.S. Realty (together with
Security Capital U.S. Realty, "SC-USREALTY"), and amends the
Schedule 13D (the "Schedule 13D") originally filed on June 21,
1996, as amended by Amendment No. 1 ("Amendment No. 1") filed
on July 15, 1996, Amendment No. 2 ("Amendment No. 2") filed on
July 3, 1997, Amendment No. 3 ("Amendment No. 3") filed on
August 8, 1997, and Amendment No. 4 ("Amendment No. 4") filed
on August 15, 1997. This Amendment No. 5 relates to shares of
common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock"), of
Regency Realty Corporation, a Florida corporation ("Regency").
Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the
meanings ascribed thereto in the Schedule 13D, as amended by
Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2, Amendment No. 3 and Amendment
No. 4.
On August 28, 1997, SC-USREALTY purchased 1,050,000
shares of Common Stock directly from Regency for an aggregate
purchase price of $23,231,250, or $22.125 per share, pursuant
to a Subscription Agreement, dated as of August 28, 1997, by
and among Regency, Holdings and Security Capital U.S. Realty
(the "Subscription Agreement"). These funds were obtained by
SC-USREALTY under the Facility Agreement.
The purchase was pursuant to SC-USREALTY's right to
purchase up to 1,750,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to
Amendment No. 1 to Stockholders Agreement dated as of February
10, 1997 by and among Regency, Security Capital U.S. Realty and
Holdings ("Amendment No. 1 to Stockholders Agreement"). Under
the terms of Amendment No. 1 to Stockholders Agreement, SC-
USREALTY would have had no right to purchase additional shares
of Common Stock after August 31, 1997 once it exercised its
right to purchase 1,050,000 shares of Common Stock. The
Subscription Agreement amended Amendment No. 1 to Stockholders
Agreement to provide that SC-USREALTY has right to purchase up
to an additional 700,000 shares of Common Stock by no later
than October 31, 1997.
A copy of the Subscription Agreement is attached
hereto as Exhibit 5.1, and such agreement is specifically in-
corporated herein by reference, and the description herein of
such agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to
such agreement.

ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER.
No material change.
ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.
No material change except as set forth above.
ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.
No material change except as set forth above.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.
No material change except as set forth above.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
No material change except as set forth above and be-

As of August 28, 1997, SC-USREALTY beneficially owns
10,549,439 shares of Common Stock as a result of its
acquisition of 1,050,000 shares of Common Stock. In addition,
because of SC-USREALTY's right to acquire up to an additional
700,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Amendment No. 1
to Stockholders Agreement (as amended by the Subscription
Agreement), SC-USREALTY may be deemed to beneficially own up to
11,249,439 shares of Common Stock. Based on SC-USREALTY's
ownership of 10,549,439 shares of Common Stock, it owns
approximately 45.4% of the outstanding Common Stock, and
approximately 39.4% on a fully diluted basis, based on the
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock and the number of
outstanding options and other securities convertible into
Common Stock (but not including the additional 700,000 shares
of Common Stock to be acquired by SC-USREALTY pursuant to
Amendment No. 1 to Stockholders Agreement (as amended by the
Subscription Agreement)). If SC-USREALTY acquires such
additional 700,000 shares of Common Stock, it will own ap-
proximately 47.0% of the outstanding Common Stock, and ap-
proximately 40.9% on a fully diluted basis, based on the number
of outstanding shares of Common Stock and the number of out-
standing options and other securities convertible into Common
Stock (and including in each case the additional 700,000 shares
of Common Stock to be acquired by SC-USREALTY pursuant to
Amendment No. 1 to Stockholders Agreement (as amended by the
Subscription Agreement)).
Except as set forth herein and as described in prior
filings, to the best knowledge and belief of SC-USREALTY, no
Page 5 of 8 Pages<PAGE>
transactions involving Common Stock have been effected during
the past 60 days by SC-USREALTY or by its directors, executive
officers or controlling persons.

otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in
the Stock Purchase Agreement (as hereinafter defined).
WHEREAS, in connection with the Company's initial issuance
and sale to Subscriber of shares of the Company's common stock,
par value $0.01 per share (the "Company Common Stock"),
pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of June 11,
1996, as amended (the "Stock Purchase Agreement"), the Company,
the Advancing Party and Subscriber entered into a Stockholders
Agreement on July 10, 1996 (the "Stockholders Agreement");
WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Stockholders
Agreement, in the event that the Company issues or sells shares
of capital stock of the Company, Investor is, during a
specified term, entitled (except in certain limited
circumstances) to a participation right to purchase, or
subscribe for, a total number of shares equal to up to 42.5% of
the total number of shares of capital stock proposed to be
issued by the Company in its first offering after the final
closing under the above-referenced Stock Purchase Agreement
(the "Participation Rights");
WHEREAS, the Company entered into a Contribution Agreement
and Plan of Reorganization (the "Contribution Agreement"),
dated as of February 10, 1997, by and among Branch Properties,
L.P., Branch Realty, Inc. and the Company (the "Branch
Transaction");
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Stockholders
Agreement, the transactions contemplated by the Contribution
Agreement would have triggered a participation right of
Investor to purchase or subscribe for up to 2,900,421 shares of
Company Common Stock at a purchase price of $22 1/8 per share;
WHEREAS, simultaneously with the execution of the
Contribution Agreement, the parties hereto entered into
Amendment No. 1 to Stockholders Agreement dated as of February
10, 1997 ("Amendment No. 1 to Stockholders Agreement"),
pursuant to Section 1 of which Investor waived those
participation rights under Section 4.2 of the Stockholders
Agreement which arose in connection with the Branch
Transaction, and, in lieu thereof, received the right to
purchase from the Company at a purchase price of $22 1/8 a
certain number of shares of Company Common Stock on the terms
and conditions set forth in Amendment No. 1 to Stockholders
Agreement (the "Special Purchase Right");
WHEREAS, in accordance with Investor's desire to exercise
its Special Purchase Right, the Company desires to issue and
sell to Subscriber shares of Company Common Stock in an
offering (the "Special Purchase") from the Company to
Subscriber; and<PAGE>
WHEREAS, the parties wish to modify the Special Purchase
Right set forth in Amendment No. 1 to Stockholders Agreement to
permit Investor to acquire additional shares of Company Common
Stock even though Investor would otherwise not have the right
to do so thereunder.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of
the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the
parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Shares referred to therein shall mean the lesser of (i) 700,000

referred to therein shall mean 1,750,000 (whether before or
after August 31, 1997), the First Anniversary referred to

absence of which would not cause and would not be reasonably
expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.
2.7 NO ADVERSE CHANGE
Since June 30, 1997, there has not been (i) any
change in the Company which would cause or reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect on the Company,

Company's assets (whether or not covered by insurance) or any
other event or condition which has had or could have a Material
Adverse Effect on the Company, (iii) any contract or other
transaction entered into by the Company relating to, or
otherwise affecting in any way, its business or the operation
thereof, other than in the ordinary course of business, (iv)

not materially breached any provision of, nor is it in material
default under the terms of, any lease, contract or commitment
to which it is a party or under which it has any rights or by

lease, contract or commitment or is in default thereunder (nor
has the Company waived any such default) in any material
respect, and no event has occurred and no condition or state of
facts exists which with the passage of time or the giving of
notice, or both, would constitute such a default or breach by
the Company, or to the Company's knowledge, by any such other
party, or give right to an automatic termination or the right
of discretionary termination thereof; (b) the Company is in
material compliance with, and no Liability or material
violation exists under, any Law or order applicable in any way
to the Company; and (c) no notice from any Government Authority
has been received by the Company claiming any violation of any
Law (including any building, zone or other ordinance) or order,

2.9 LITIGATION
Except for certain matters which, to the Company's
knowledge, do not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company

litigation pending or, to the Company's knowledge, threatened

the Company thereunder and, to the best of the Company's
knowledge, without any material default thereunder of any other
party thereto. No event has occurred and is continuing which,
with due notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a
default or event of default by the Company under any such lease
or agreement or, to the best of the Company's knowledge, by any
party thereto, except for such defaults that would not
individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect
on the Company. The Company's possession of such property has
