Our maturity profile in 2027 and beyond\nis well-laddered with modest near-term maturities.”\n\nFayette Mall is one of CBL’s flagship assets and benefits from strong tenant\ndemand, solid operating fundamentals, and its position as the leading retail\ndestination in the Lexington market.\n\nAbout CBL Properties\n\nHeadquartered in Chattanooga, TN, CBL Properties owns and manages a national\nportfolio of market-dominant properties located in dynamic and growing\ncommunities.
