Securitised debt and public filers
Filings (2001 to date) that name “Glendale Fashion Center” and “Glendale” (33 hits, first 33 sampled, 5 other filers such as tenants left out). Only weak matches to commercial-mortgage trusts: the mall may have backed a securitised loan, or may just be mentioned in the filing; several trusts usually means one loan split into pari-passu notes. Earliest trust filing in the sample 2006-09-08 (a sample date, not the issuance date); candidate loan vintage 2006 from the trust name (weak match). Whether the loan is still in the pool, in special servicing or repaid is in the trust's monthly distribution reports, which are not searchable here. Text matches, not a title search.

As reported by the loan servicer
Loan-level data the CMBS trust files monthly on EDGAR (Form ABS-EE, Exhibit 102, Schedule AL), latest filing per trust. Balance is the scheduled balance at the period end; DSCR is on net cash flow from the most recent borrower financials; appraised value is the latest valuation reported, or the one at securitisation. Several trusts for one mall usually means one loan split into pari-passu notes, each trust reporting its piece. Matched on the property name and state in the exhibit, unreviewed.
