The Cupertino
Square mall is on the news again. The only three leveled shopping mall in
Cupertino of California which is the home of the Cupertino AMC 16,
Strike,
JC Penny, Sears, Macy...In year 2005 a local group of the investors
purchased this mall. It went through a few major renovation
since then. In year 2006 Cupertino residents voted against rezoning
part of the Vallco property to condominiums. The mall encountered
the financial problems due to loss of this expected revenue. Those
investors sold the mall to the Orbit Resources, Inc.
The Orbit Resources has visions of infusing Cupertino Square
with some elements of a lifestyle center and a focus on
entertainment, it is in Chapter 11 bankruptcy from September
2008. According today's San Jose Mercury News that If the U. S.
Bankruptcy Court judge approves the plan to re-organize the mall in
the hearings on March 16 and April 23 2009, then the Cupertino
Square will emerge from Chapter 11 bankruptcy. In this plan, the
Orbit Resources, Inc, the mall owner, stuck a deal with the
Gramercy and the United Commercial Bank which loaned to the mall
$195 million of the renovation in 2006 and is still owed $113.8
millions. A shell company, Newco which is under the Orbit's
control, will buy the mall from the Gramercy, UCB and Orbit's
investors. The opening offer would be 108.6 million and it would be
subject to overbids.
The hot retailer Steve & Barry's and Munich's beloved beer
hall are in the Cupertino Square also. There are coupons at the Cupertino Square e-maginzine also.I
knew the mall is working very hard to fill the empty especially at
this economic down turns.As the long time Cupertino realtor I
really like to see the Cupertino Square runs well. The local
residents have another place to eat, shop and hang out.
