Talmage LLC, a special servicer, modified and restructured the $291 million Cadillac Mills portfolio loan. Simon Property Group and Farallon Capital Management bought the 2.8-million-sq.-ft. portfolio as part of the Mills Corp. acquisition in February 2007. The private loan is secured by The Galleria at White Plains in White Plains, N.Y., The Esplanade in Kenner, La. and Northpark Mall in Ridgeland, Miss.
The modification gives Simon/Farallon time to complete the stabilization of the portfolio, while allowing the lenders to deleverage and improve loan terms.
“The combination of fresh capital and new leases, combined with the portfolio’s strong cash flow, allowed us to structure a highly customized three-year modification for the Simon/Farallon team that will allow them to maximize the value of the asset for all parties,” said Talmage CEO Edward L. Shugrue III in a statement.
