Dear Ms. Brandon,

This letter is submitted on behalf of Equity One, Inc. (“Equity One”) in response to comments received on May 4, 2009 from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) with respect to the non-management preliminary proxy statement (PREN14A), dated April 21, 2009, and the other proxy soliciting materials referenced above, which were filed by Equity One with the Commission in connection with the 2009 annual meeting of shareholders of Ramco-Gershenson Properties Trust ("Ramco-Gershenson").

As described in Equity One’s SC 13D/A and DFAN14A filings with the Commission on May 13, 2009, Equity One and Ramco-Gershenson announced their entering into a settlement agreement, dated May 12, 2009, with respect to the solicitation of proxies for Ramco-Gershenson’s 2009 annual meeting of shareholders.  Pursuant to the settlement agreement, Equity One agreed to withdraw its nominees for independent consideration at the 2009 annual meeting and to vote its shares in favor of the election of Ramco-Gershenson’s trustee nominees at the meeting.  Accordingly, please be advised that Equity One does not intend to solicit proxies for use at Ramco-Gershenson’s 2009 annual meeting and does not intend to file a definitive proxy statement in connection therewith.

If you should have any further questions or comments concerning this matter, please contact the undersigned at (617) 570-1760.

Very truly yours,
