LAS VEGAS—The majority of audience members at the capital markets panel at ICSC RECon 2017 were made up of shopping center owners. And panelists during the majority of the panel spent most of their session reviewing different types of transactions. One transaction was a $10-million shopping center deal, another was a purchase of a shopping center for $40 million, and the third was a $150-million portfolio purchase. The group talked about their concerns and the risk and reward in each deal.
Panelists detailed points on each deal such as taking a close look at bankruptcy departures at one particular property, and about conduit debt concerns, what the business plan is (whether to hold forever or move some of the assets) and more.
The result of the discussion was that “having a full understanding of the risk is key” to any bank that is providing debt, said Karen Case, executive managing director and president of Commercial Real Estate at the PrivateBank.
