Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

Equity One, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company” or “Equity One”), is hereby providing the fair value of its investment property as defined by International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) IAS 40, “Investment Property” as of  December 31, 2012. As announced previously, the Company has agreed to provide this information to Gazit-Globe Ltd. (“Gazit”), its major indirect stockholder, in connection with Gazit's financial reports which are prepared in accordance with IFRS.

IFRS permits fair value accounting for Investment Property. In addition, in accordance with IFRS, the value of straight-line rent receivables, deferred costs and intangible assets and liabilities related to income-producing property are not presented separately since they are included within the fair values of income-producing property.

The determination of these values required management to make significant estimates and assumptions, and the actual values achieved in the event of any disposition of investment property may differ from the values incorporated into the fair value determination.
