A troubled mall in Waterford has sold at auction amid a last-minute flurry of bidding.
The Day of New London reports that the property fetched $9.25 million after bidding opened Monday at $2 million. A neighboring former Sears store sold for nearly $4 million at the same time to a buyer who may be “overlapping” with the mall’s new owner, the paper reported citing the properties’ broker Will Suarez, with JLL.
The vintage-1984 mall was bought by Simon Property Group in 2012, but the company later handed back the keys to its lender after defaulting on the $95 million mortgage.
