Springfield, Va. — PREIT has received $150 million in financing to recapitalize Springfield Town Center, a mixed-use redevelopment of the former Springfield Mall in Northern Virginia, roughly 14 miles outside Washington, D.C. The regional shopping center features 1.4 million square feet of retail space, including a 32,000-square-foot LEGO Discovery Center that opened in 2023. Other tenants include Build-A-Bear, Burger King, Chuy’s, Dave & Buster’s, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Finish Line, Five Below, H&M, Hot Topic, JC Penney, LA Fitness, Macy’s, Maggiano’s, Nordstrom Rack, Regal Cinema, Sephora, Toys “R” Us and Target.
Goldman Sachs and Barclays Bank were the lead lenders for the five-year loan, which features interest-only payments and a fixed interest rate of 7.1 percent. With the new financing, PREIT expects to reduce more than $5.1 million in annual interest savings.
