This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) amends the Schedule 13D, dated April 5, 2007 (the “Original Schedule 13D”), and jointly filed by each of (i) CPT Manager Limited (“CPT Manager”), in its capacity as the responsible entity of Centro Property Trust (“CPT”), (ii) Centro MCS Manager Limited (“MCS Manager”), in its capacity as the responsible entity of Centro Retail Trust (“CRT”), (iii) CPT Custodian Pty Limited (“CPT Custodian”), in its capacity as the responsible entity of Centro Super Holding Trust No. 1, a direct wholly owned subsidiary of CPT (“Trust No. 1”), and in its capacity as the responsible entity of Centro Super Holding Trust No. 3, a direct wholly owned subsidiary of CRT (“Trust No. 3”), (iv) Super LLC, a Maryland limited liability company (“Super”), which is directly owned 50% by Trust No. 1 and 50% by Trust No. 3, (v) Super IntermediateCo LLC, a Maryland limited liability company (“Parent”),  which is directly 100% owned by Super, and (vi) Super MergerSub Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Purchaser” and, collectively with CPT Manager, MCS Manager, CPT Custodian, Super and Parent, the “Reporting Persons”), which is directly 100% owned by Parent, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 16, 2007, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto, dated April 19, 2007 (“Amendment No. 1” and together with the Original Schedule 13D and this Amendment, the “Schedule 13D”) with respect to the shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share, of New Plan Excel Realty Trust, Inc. (the “Company”; such shares, the “Common Stock”).  Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings given to them in the Schedule 13D.

Item 4.    Purpose of Transaction

The response to Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following paragraphs at the end thereof:

On April 19, 2007, the parties to the Merger Agreement entered into the First Amendment to the Merger Agreement to permit Purchaser to pay for the Top-Up Shares, if any, (a) with cash in an amount equal to the Offer Price for each Top-Up Share, (b) with cash in amount an amount equal to $0.01, the par value per share, and by issuing a promissory note in the principal amount $33.14 for each Top-Up Share, or (c) through any combination of cash and promissory note so long as the cash portion of the consideration for each Top-Up Share is at least $0.01 per share. The foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 7 to the Schedule 13D and is incorporated herein by reference

On April 19, 2007, Purchaser notified the Company of its exercise of the Top-Up Option to purchase directly from the Company, at the $33.15 per share Offer Price, an additional 59,929,108 shares of Common Stock (which shares constitute the “Top-Up Shares”).  Such number of shares, when added to the other shares of Common Stock already owned by Purchaser, was sufficient to give Purchaser ownership of one share of Common Stock more than shares representing a 90% Vote (taking into account shares of Common Stock issued under the Top-Up Option) and permit Purchaser to effect a short-form merger of Purchaser into the Company under Maryland law without the vote of or any other action by the other Company stockholders. This purchase of the Top-Up Shares closed on April 20, 2007.

On April 20, 2007, following Purchaser’s acquisition of the Top-Up Shares, the merger of Purchaser and the Company was completed by means of a short-form merger under Maryland law.  At the effective time of the Merger, Purchaser merged into the Company, with the Company surviving, and each share of Common Stock (other than shares of Common Stock owned by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company or by Purchaser) was converted into the right to receive $33.15 net per share in cash, without interest thereon and less any required withholding taxes, and the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.  In connection with the Merger, at the effective time of the Merger, all of the shares of Common Stock owned by Purchaser were automatically canceled and retired and ceased to exist, and no payment was made with respect thereto.

Immediately following the closing of the Merger, the Company, as the surviving corporation in the Merger, was liquidated, and all of its assets were transferred to, and all of its liabilities were assumed by, Parent, and holders of Series D Preferred Shares and Series E Preferred Shares will receive liquidating distributions in accordance with their respective terms.

On April 20, 2007, Centro issued a press release announcing the closing of the Merger, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 8 to the Schedule 13D and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.    Interest in Securities of the Issuer

The responses to Item 5(a) and (b) of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following paragraph at the end thereof:

(a) and (b).  As a result of the consummation of the Merger, Parent directly owns 100% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.  Accordingly, as of the date hereof, as a result of the consummation of the Merger, (i) each of CPT Custodian and Super indirectly beneficially owns 100% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, (ii) CPT Manager indirectly beneficially owns 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, and (iii) MCS Manager indirectly beneficially owns 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.  Each of the Reporting Persons has the power to vote or direct the voting, and to dispose or direct the disposition, of all of the shares of Common Stock that it beneficially owns.

Immediately following the closing of the Merger, the Company, as the surviving corporation in the Merger, was liquidated, and all of its assets were transferred to, and all of its liabilities were assumed by, Parent.
