Securitised debt and public filers

Filings (2001 to date) that name “Westfield San Francisco Centre” and “San Francisco” (764 hits, first 100 sampled). Common name: these matches are unreliable. Only weak matches to commercial-mortgage trusts: the mall may have backed a securitised loan, or may just be mentioned in the filing; several trusts usually means one loan split into pari-passu notes. Earliest trust filing in the sample 2017-03-24 (a sample date, not the issuance date); candidate loan vintage 2016 from the trust name (weak match). Whether the loan is still in the pool, in special servicing or repaid is in the trust's monthly distribution reports, which are not searchable here. Text matches, not a title search.
