GGP moved an updated press release stating, "[i]t has not reached unanimous agreement with its syndicate of lenders to further extend the maturity date on the $900 million Fashion Show and Palazzo mortgage loans. The Company is continuing its discussions with lenders regarding its loans."
According to the press, the word is that Citibank, the lead lender, is the lone holdout. Globest.com says that Citi is "heap[ing] requirement upon requirement for the REIT to meet." Now, we don't know exactly what those requirements are, but of course the cynic in me immediately says, "How much money has the government given them in a bailout, supposedly to lend?"
