Texas Shopping Mall Pre-Freclosure Opportunity
Small Window of Opportunity
Located in one of the Top 3 largest cities in Texas.
Originally, the owners were trying to refinance the mall since their loan had just matured in February. Unfortunately, two factors made this difficult to accomplish. First, the lender sold the note to a 3rd party investor who’s sole intent was to foreclose and take ownership and secondly the Coronavirus situation caused the term sheet the owner had secure to be canceled.
Now there is a foreclosure date scheduled for May 5th. The owners are ready to sell the property at a discount around $25-26m, but obviously it needs to close within the next 2 weeks. Once the economy has re-opened and businesses have been allowed to turn the lights back on, it should take too long for things to return to normal. The Mall was generating about $2.8m in NOI last year and it was appraised in Jan 2019 by CBRE for $31,050,000.
Their main anchor tenant is Burlington and they have just renewed their lease for another 5 years. On the other side of the mall is Macy’s (Macy’s owns this location separately) which has invested over $25m in remodeling over the years. This Macy’s location is not one of the stores closing nationwide, in fact it is one of the highest grossing locations for Macy’s in Houston.
The owners are obviously very motivated to sell at a discount. In addition, the Property Manager would be willing to stay on and help with the new ownership transition as well as restarting the Mall after the Coronavirus limitations have subsided.
