Case Studies

Sugarloaf Mills

Orchestrating a Rebound for a Premier Atlanta Shopping Hub

Counter to protection buyers’ assertion that the only possible outcome for this defaulted high LTV loan was an accelerated foreclosure and subsequent liquidation, special servicer CW chose to modify and extend the loan—avoiding unwarranted losses for the CMBS trust and opening a path to enhanced long-term asset performance. A hyperamortization strategy has enabled Sugarloaf Mills to pay down a significant amount of debt, and the mall has proven a productive asset in a burgeoning market with an adjacent apartment complex and multiple nearby hotels in the works.
