Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust (PREIT)

name: Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust (PREIT)
description: 'Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust (PREIT) is a Philadelphia-based

  mall REIT founded in 1960 by Sylvan M. Cohen. The trust developed, owned, and

  managed mixed-use retail destinations — including Cherry Hill Mall, Woodland

  Mall, Mall at Prince George''s, and Springfield Town Center — across roughly

  nine states in the eastern and midwestern United States.


  PREIT filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection twice in four years. The

  first filing, on November 1, 2020, was a pre-packaged restructuring resolved

  by December 11, 2020. The second filing, on December 10, 2023, was a more

  consequential restructuring that wiped out public shareholders. PREIT

  emerged from its second Chapter 11 in early 2024 as a private company owned

  by its former lenders (reported to include Redwood Capital Management and

  Nut Tree Capital Management). Common shares were delisted from the New York

  Stock Exchange, and Jared Chupaila was appointed CEO of the reorganized,

  privately held entity.


  The post-emergence PREIT continues to operate its mall portfolio as a

  private operator. It exposes no public APIs, no developer portal, no

  documented machine-readable surfaces, and maintains no GitHub organization.

  This profile is preserved primarily to document the company''s Chapter 11

  history and its absence from the API economy.
