THE MALL AT STONECREST
CASE STUDY
The Mall at Stonecrest (the “Mall”) is a 1.2MM sq. ft. super-regional enclosed shopping center located in Stonecrest, Georgia, roughly 20 minutes east of downtown Atlanta. The Mall’s CMBS loan matured in 2018, and due to a lack of viable capital sources to refinance the note, the borrower defaulted on the loan.
Despite significant headwinds in the enclosed shopping mall financing market. UCM worked closely with ownership, the special servicer, and the lender to complete a discounted payoff (“DPO”) of the Mall’s CMBS mortgage. UCM helped ownership secure a loan reduction of nearly $50MM and a new first mortgage with a loan basis of $42MM at 75% loan to value.
