Securitised debt and public filers
Filings (2001 to date) that name “The Promenade” and “Los Angeles” (370 hits, first 100 sampled, 9 other filers such as tenants left out). Common name: these matches are unreliable. 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 2002-02-08 (a sample date, not the issuance date); candidate loan vintage 2002 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.
