CMBS distress shows mixed trend as special servicing rises
Loans at least 30 days late fell $3.5 billion in June, but special-servicing volume rose 1.7% to $66.8 billion, signaling ongoing stress.
Trepp reported mixed signals in commercial mortgage backed securities, with one distress measure declining while another rose in June, according to ConnectCRE.
The volume of private-label CMBS loans at least 30 days late decreased by $3.49 billion, or 3.7%, during the month. At the same time, CMBS delinquencies fell to $43.98 billion, or 7.35% of the overall CMBS universe.
Trepp also said that loans in special servicing increased by 1.72% to $66.76 billion, and noted that transfers to special servicing often act as a distress signal.
In its review of the largest loans in special servicing, Trepp highlighted the $536 million financing tied to Chicago’s 2.78 million-square-foot Aon Center office building, adding that while distress was previously known due to earlier transfers, a $93 million loan piece only moved this month. Trepp further said the building was 66% occupied as of last September, cash flow is about half of what was expected when the loan originated in 2018, and the appraised value is now about a quarter of the 2018 level.
