PITTSBURGH, June 28, 2023 – JLL’s Capital Markets group announced today that it has arranged a $425 million refinancing for Miracle Mile Shops, a 503,484-square-foot entertainment and retail destination located at the center of the Las Vegas Strip.

JLL worked on behalf of the borrowers, IMI Miracle Mall LLC and IMI Miracle Harmon LLC, which are indirect subsidiaries of Institutional Mall Investors LLC, a co-investment venture between an affiliate of Miller Capital Advisory, Inc. and California Public Employees’ Retirement System, to secure a five-year, fixed-rate CMBS loan.

Goldman Sachs served as lead lender for the combined SASB/conduit loan. Bank of America and Morgan Stanley Bank also served as lenders. Initial loan quotes for this refinancing opportunity were provided by 12 different lenders.  This loan replaced a maturing 10-year loan that JLL placed in September 2013.

Built in 2000 and redeveloped in 2008, Miracle Mile Shops includes approximately 130 food and beverage, jewelry, health and beauty, apparel and entertainment tenants. Notable tenants include V Theater, Saxe Theater, H&M, Victoria’s Secret and Lululemon. Approximately 24.8 million people visit the center annually. The borrowers are nearing completion of a major renovation started in 2022 to transform the property into a more modern retail destination with an immersive customer experience and expanded entertainment and restaurant offerings.

Situated at 3663 South Las Vegas Blvd., the property benefits from its integrated traffic drivers (not a part of financing), including Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino (2,500 rooms), Elara by Hilton Grand Vacations Hotel (1,201 rooms) and Zappos Theater (7,000 seats). Additionally, the 24,880 total hotel and timeshare rooms within walking distance and the 19,000 seats at the proximate T-Mobile Arena also contribute to the center’s customer base.

The JLL Retail Capital Markets Debt Advisory team was led by Senior Managing Directors Claudia Steeb and Barry Brown, Managing Director Carl Beardsley and Associate Zach Barone.

“JLL worked with the borrowers to determine acceptable competitive financing terms, and with the strong property performance and sponsorship, the asset received a great deal of initial lender interest, including 25 loan quotes from multiple lenders,” said Steeb. “Miracle Mile Shops has continued to thrive due to its location at the ‘Fifty Yard Line’ of the famous Las Vegas Strip and the amazing renovation that the borrowers are completing.  JLL is proud to once again place the debt for this property.”
