MORRISTOWN, N.J., Jan. 7, 2026 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has arranged a $13.5 million refinancing for Millburn Village, a 71,177-square-foot shopping center in Vauxhall, New Jersey.
JLL represented Lightstone, in securing a three-year, fixed-rate loan through Ameritas Investment Corporation.
