Stonehill Commercial Real Estate Group Deploys $160 Million in Financing for Shopping Malls
ATLANTA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Stonehill’s commercial real estate group, Stonehill CRE, has provided approximately $160 million in acquisition financing for five malls representing more than 4.5 million square feet of retail space across the U.S.
“Despite the continued market volatility and capital market trends, our CRE team was able to deliver lending and capital markets solutions that match our sponsors’ business objectives and priorities,” said Daniel Siegel, president of Stonehill CRE.
The recent Stonehill CRE retail transactions include:
- Bellis Fair Mall – Originating a $24.0 million first mortgage loan for the 774,264 square-foot shopping mall in Bellingham, Washington.
- Cumberland Mall – Originating a $28.8 million first mortgage loan for the 953,313 square-foot shopping mall in Vineland, New Jersey.
- Greenwood Mall – Originating a $42.3 million first mortgage loan for the 970,523 square-foot shopping mall in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
- Livingston Mall – Originating a $42.0 million first mortgage loan for the 970,000 square-foot shopping mall in Livingston, New Jersey.
- The Mall at Robinson – Originating a $25.5 million first mortgage loan for the 874,000 square-foot shopping mall in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
“Brick-and-mortar is still a necessary component of a retailer’s multi-channel strategy,” said Siegel. “According the National Retail Federation, traditional in-store purchases still accounted for the majority of retail holiday spending.”
“To remain competitive, owners must accelerate their plans and expand their thinking to find ways to keep their malls relevant in a changing landscape. Stonehill CRE provides needed liquidity for maturing loans, new acquisitions and construction projects,” said Greg Koenig, Stonehill CRE’s senior vice president.
Stonehill, an affiliate of Peachtree Group, launched Stonehill CRE in May 2022 and expects to deploy approximately $500 million of capital in 2023.
