Taubman, which will end its fiscal year on Dec. 31, trades on the New York Stock Exchange, where its stock, TCO, is trading this week in the $20-21 range.

Taubman's stock opened the year at about $16 a share.

In 2002, Taubman said sales in its centers averaged $456 per sf. This compares to a national average of about $225/sf for all regional malls. The company said 2003 figures are not yet available.
