PREIT (NYSE: PEI), a leading owner and operator of distinctive real estate in high barrier-to-entry markets, today announced that it has entered into an amendment to the mortgage loan secured by Woodland Mall, one of the Company's key redevelopment projects opened in 2019. This amendment marks a key step in the Company's balance sheet repositioning effort.
Key terms of the amendment include:
- Maturity date extension to 12/10/21 with a 12-month extension option;
- Interest rate revisions;
- Guaranty reduced to $10 million with restrictions on lenders exercising rights and remedies.

The mall is home to the only Von Maur, Apple, Urban Outfitters, and REI locations in West Michigan. Shoppers would need to travel over 100 miles to find another tenant lineup that includes Sephora, Williams-Sonoma, Lush, Pottery Barn, Von Maur and Altar'd State.
