Brixmor Property Group Inc. announced on October 17, 2025 that Chief Executive Officer James M. Taylor Jr. will be on a temporary medical leave of absence effective October 16, 2025. The Board of Directors has appointed President and Chief Operating Officer Brian T. Finnegan to serve as interim CEO until Mr. Taylor’s return. The announcement was issued via a PRNewswire release and confirms the leadership transition is immediate and temporary.
The appointment of Brian T. Finnegan, who has been with Brixmor as President and COO, provides continuity in executive oversight and signals board confidence in the company’s operational platform. Finnegan’s experience managing day‑to‑day operations and his familiarity with the company’s value‑add strategy position him to maintain momentum on leasing, asset management, and capital deployment initiatives during the interim period.
For investors, the change is a routine executive succession that does not alter Brixmor’s strategic direction or financial outlook. The company’s existing guidance, dividend policy, and capital structure remain unchanged, and the interim CEO is expected to preserve the current trajectory of portfolio performance and growth initiatives. The announcement therefore represents a stable leadership transition rather than a disruptive event.
