Concern and Optimism There remains a good deal of macro uncertainty, particularly around interest rates that could impact transactional businesses quickly. ? The bottom line is that there is no clear path at this time and if your loan is in, or about to enter, CMBS Special Servicing you better be prepared with strong adviser team to navigate you through the process. ? Special Servicers are very aware of your loan and their rights to take action and collect fees. If you are waiting for them to see if you can ”cut a deal” you have lost a material amount of any leverage you had while you were not in special servicing. This is NOT like CMBS 1.0. ? Contact Brighton Capital Advisors to find out the best way to work with CMBS servicers to obtain an optimal outcome for you and your investors. ? Be Prpeared. Be Proactive. ? ?#cmbs #bca #specialservicing #loan #commercialrealestate ?

Although we expect CRE charge-offs to continue, due to a combination of CRE price stabilization and balance sheet improvement, even banks with more concentrated exposure to CRE loans should be able to better absorb such losses without substantially affecting earnings. Most banks we rate have increased their capital and deposits, and have reported declines in unrealized losses on securities, all supporting financial strength. Does this indicate that Banks are soon to be off loading bad loans into the market? Good news for investors, bad if you are the Borrower of one of these loans being sold to an opportunistic buyer. #office #borrower #bank #commercialrealestate #cmbs #finance #charlotte #denver #atlanta #houston #chicago #seattle #sanfrancisco

2025 should see an average of about $150.9 billion in CMBS maturities, with months varying from $10 billion to $17.9 billion. The maturities are largely concentrated in Q1 and Q4 of 2025. About $63.6 billion, or 42.1%, are considered “hard” maturities. They must be either paid off or refinanced by the scheduled maturity date and there are no further options. Out of the $63.6 billion in hard maturities, 59% have a DY of at least 10%; 11% are in the 9% to 10% range; and 31% of the loans have a DY below 95, which suggests a distress sale or alternative refinancing outside of CMBS. Maturity volumes vary by property type. Office 22.7% of total expected maturities, or $34.4 billion. Lodging, with $29.7 billion, was at 19.6%; retail at $25.7 billion was 17% of the count. Retail was 17% of maturities facing $25.7 billion. Multifamily was $15.6 billion, or 10.4%. Last was the “other” category at $18.9, with the smallest percentage of 12.2%. If your CMBS loan is facing a maturity default consult with your attorney on your recourse exposure and Brighton Capital Advisors on your CMBS loan modification options. Be Prepared. Be Proactive.
