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).

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.
