Securitised debt and public filers
Filings (2001 to date) that name “Palm Beach Mall” and “West Palm Beach” (81 hits, first 81 sampled, 8 other filers such as tenants left out). A strong match to a commercial-mortgage trust means the mall very likely backed, or backs, a securitised loan; several trusts usually means one loan split into pari-passu notes. Earliest trust filing in the sample 2003-08-07 (a sample date, not the issuance date); 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.
