  • Stonecrest Mayor's Statement on Local Mall Foreclosure News
    City of Stonecrest 3120 Stonecrest Blvd Stonecrest, GA 30038 www.stonecrestga.gov Jason Lary, Mayor FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Adrion Bell January 30, 2020 Communications Director 770 224 0200 office 404 314 6761 mobile [email protected] Mayor releases statement about mall foreclosure news Stonecrest, GA – A recent news story has Stonecrest residents wondering about the city’s retail future. The Mall at Stonecrest is facing an imminent threat of foreclosure according to a recent Bisnow article. The article states that the mall has been delinquent and in special servicing since 2013 and has been in and out of delinquency in 2019. The article also states that the mall could go into foreclosure in February. Stonecrest’s major shopping hub is not alone is its financial struggle. According to a recent Wall Street Journal article, malls have been suffering great financial losses for years. Simon Property Group, the largest shopping mall operator in the U.S. and the owner of Atlanta’s Lenox Square Mall, defaulted on a $45 million loan secured by Greendale Mall in Worcester, Mass. Greendale Mall went into foreclosure in 2016 but remains open today. A few years ago, CBL & Associates trimmed its portfolio and unloaded 14 malls by selling eight and giving six back to lenders. Understandably, questions arise about malls when its mortgages are given back to the lenders. Research reveals that most malls don’t close after foreclosure and consumers often continue shopping without knowledge of any financial strain. The anchors stores, such as Macy’s and Dillards, own their properties and are not subject to the mall’s financial plights.
