Securitised debt and public filers

Filings (2001 to date) that name “Mall St. Vincent” and “Shreveport” (80 hits, first 80 sampled, 8 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 2008-05-12 (a sample date, not the issuance date); candidate loan vintage 2008 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.

Summary, model-written

Mall St. Vincent (Shreveport, LA) is under construction for a healthcare conversion. The former Sears anchor space is being renovated into a medical facility operated by LSU Health Sciences Foundation, per after_notes. The developer (LSU Health Sciences Foundation) purchased the space in 2026 for $3.5M. The mall opened in 1977, with Sears closing in 2018. Nearby, South Park Mall (closed, 8.4km) and Southpark Mall (open, 9.8km) are in the same cluster. The opportunity score is 0 due to active development (already under construction). County population declined 6.2% 2018–2023. No new retail use is planned; the entire mall is not being converted—only the Sears anchor space. No housing plans are noted. Traffic data shows I-49 (5 lanes, 89,681 ADT) nearby. Retail establishments declined 15.2% 2012–2023.

Why. Record states: 'under construction,' 'former Sears anchor space under renovation,' 'LSU Health Sciences Foundation purchased in 2026,' 'Sears closed 2018,' 'county shrank -6.2% 2018–23,' and 'opportunity score 0' due to active development. No housing or new retail use mentioned beyond the Sears renovation.

Where it stands. Active healthcare conversion of Sears anchor space only. Not available for new development. No additional retail or housing plans in record.

For a planner

  • Sears closure (2018) triggered current healthcare use. County population decline noted. I-49 traffic volume (89,681 ADT) supports site access.

For a developer

  • Not available for new development (already under construction). No housing or retail opportunities identified. Only anchor space conversion underway.

What we do not know yet

  • Full mall conversion status unknown (only Sears space noted). No data on healthcare facility demand or occupancy. County shrinkage impact on healthcare demand not assessed.
