Blackstone Group LP is considering an initial public offering of its Brixmor Property Group shopping center unit by year’s end, taking advantage of a stock-market rally as it starts to sell real estate assets.

Brixmor last week named a new financial chief, a move some analysts saw as presaging an IPO. The assets that form the core of Brixmor were acquired in the $9 billion purchase of U.S. shopping centers from Australia’s Centro Properties Group in 2011.
