DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

The purpose of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-20005) originally filed by New Plan Excel Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“New Plan”), on January 17, 1997 (as heretofore amended, the “Registration Statement”), is to deregister:

·                                          any and all of the 196,656 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of New Plan (the “common stock”) that remain unsold under the Registration Statement as of the date hereof.

On February 27, 2007, New Plan and Excel Realty Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”) with Centro NP LLC (formerly Super IntermediateCo LLC), a Maryland limited liability company (the “Company”), Super MergerSub Inc., a Maryland corporation (“MergerSub”), and Super DownREIT MergerSub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on April 20, 2007, MergerSub merged with and into New Plan, with New Plan as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”).  Immediately following the Merger, on April 20, 2007, New Plan was liquidated, and all of its assets were transferred to, and all of its liabilities were assumed by, the Company (the “Liquidation”).  On May 3, 2007, Super IntermediateCo LLC changed its name to Centro NP LLC.  As a result of the Merger and Liquidation, all of New Plan’s common stock is owned by the Company and is no longer publicly traded.

Accordingly, the Company wishes to terminate the offering of common stock registered pursuant to the Registration Statement.  This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 is being filed in accordance with the undertaking set forth in Part II, Item 17(a)(3) of the Registration Statement.
