A third shopping center operated by one of the Indianapolis area’s biggest retail developers has fallen into Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

Greenwood Shoppes LP, owner of the Greenwood Shoppes strip mall along U.S. 31 near County Line Road, filed for reorganization on Monday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Indianapolis.

The company is a subsidiary of Indianapolis-based Broadbent Co.

Greenwood Shoppes is located close to another Broadbent-operated shopping mall, Greenwood Point. Its owner, Broadbent’s Greenwood Point LP, filed for reorganization in January 2010.

In February, another Broadbent subsidiary, Castleton Plaza LP, which owns the Castleton Plaza strip mall along East 82nd Street in Indianapolis, filed Chapter 11.

Both cases are pending in federal court.

Greenwood Shoppes LP lists debt of $5.7 million and assets of $9 million. Most of its assets—$8.5 million—are tied to the value of the property. And much of its debt is the $5.6 million principal remaining on an $8.5 million mortgage.

The 80,257-square-foot shopping center is anchored by a Factory Card Outlet and has 18 tenants. Others include Half Price Books, Mattress World, Men’s Wearhouse and Uncle Bill’s Pet Center.

The nearby Greenwood Point lists both assets and liabilities of between $1 million and $10 million. Exact amounts were not available in court documents.

Meanwhile, Castleton Plaza lists assets of nearly $7.6 million, including more than $6.8 million in real property.

German American, a secured creditor, is seeking to foreclose on the property. It claims Castleton Plaza owes nearly $8.7 million on the balance of a $9.5 million loan made in August 2000, as well as $1.1 million in interest. Additional fees bring the total to $10.1 million.

The amount owed to German American includes the vast majority of the $10.4 million Castleton Plaza lists as liabilities in court filings. Much of the remainder of secured claims, $165,000, is owed in unpaid property taxes dating from 2009.

The shopping center, which has 18 tenants, contains 171,736 square feet of retail space and is anchored by a Sam Ash Mega Store and Dollar Tree.

  1. These higher rates Co. e about only because physicians are now hospital employees. otherwise physicians couldn't charge these rates and share the windfall with the hospital. Community/rural hospitals probably not buying physicians practices and thus weren't getting the windfall anyway.

  2. The incentive for poor people to get themselves off public assistance and "no longer be poor" is even with help...they're STILL POOR! Being poor, even with some assistance, isn't all that pleasant. (I speak from experience) It's a stubborn myth that poor people, who are on public assistance, are sitting in the lap of luxury. You should try living on just those "freebies" that you mentioned and see how meager they actually are. By the way, I didn't mean you had to buy/own a puppy...just pet one. :)

  3. As near as I can tell the minority has ZERO constitutional obligation to offer a quorum to the majority. A requirement for quorum was inserted into the constitution so that tyrannical majorities could not simply shove through odious and objectionable legislation (which is exactly what they did.) By allowing a tyrannical majority to charge fines against the minority for exercising their constitutional prerogative to deny quorum the court as made a mockery of constitutional governance in the state of Indiana.

  4. The voters elected the Reps to make a vote not walk out on the vote. They had to the right to exercise their opinion and vote "no" to the bill. Let me ask you this if you walked out of your job for 5 straight weeks would you get paid? Would you even have a job to go back to? If any elected official walks out on the people they should be arrested for stealing tax dollars from the public. They were elected to do a job and not leave when the job gets stuff.

  5. I have been to several of their locations in Pennsylvania and always go in for 1 item and leave with a basket full of things. I'm very happy they decided on Indiana, now if only they would put the other store in eastside.
