CBL Closes Long-Term Fixed-Rate Loan Secured by Fremaux Town Center
CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. (NYSE: CBL) today announced that it closed on a non-recourse $73.0 million loan secured by
Fremaux Town Center in Slidell, LA. The 10-year loan bears a fixed interest rate of 3.70%. Wells Fargo served as the lender.
Proceeds from the loan were used to retire two existing construction loans with an aggregate balance of $73.0 million.
“This financing demonstrates our continued strong access to capital,” said Farzana K. Mitchell, Chief Financial Officer.
“Replacing the floating rate construction loans with this attractively priced long-term fixed-rate loan further enhances the
strength of our balance sheet. We are pleased to have completed two major financing transactions with institutional lenders
totaling $185 million within the past week.”
CBL owns the 633,000-square-foot open-air center in a 65/35 joint venture with Stirling Properties, LLC based in Covington, LA.
All amounts above are reflected at 100%.
