Regency Expands into Missouri

Regency Properties, a commercial real estate company specializing in county seat communities, recently acquired Huck Finn Shopping Center in Hannibal, Mo. The acquisition, which is the company’s first in Missouri, adds 278,190 square feet of shopping center space to Regency’s growing portfolio.
