RICHMOND, Va. (RichmondBizSense.com) – With a deadline fast approaching, a real estate giant is making a nine-figure investment in a major Richmond mall.

Taubman Centers has decided to pay off the almost $100 million it owes on a mortgage backed by Stony Point Fashion Park months before the 10-year loan was scheduled to come due.
