KBRA Assigns Preliminary Ratings to BBCMS 2022-C14

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#KBRA–KBRA is pleased to announce the assignment of preliminary ratings to 18 classes of BBCMS 2022-C14, a $926.8 million CMBS conduit transaction collateralized by 56 commercial mortgage loans secured by 83 properties.

The collateral properties are located throughout 46 MSAs, of which the three largest are New York (13.4%), Washington – NoVA – MD (10.3%), and Los Angeles (8.4%). The subject transaction has exposure to all major property type segments, with the top three being office (36.8%), industrial (16.3%), and multifamily (14.9%). The loans have principal balances ranging from $3.1 million to $70.0 million for the largest loan in the pool, Coleman Highline Phase IV (7.6%), a 657,934 sf, Class-A office complex located in San Jose, California, approximately three miles northwest of the city’s CBD. The five largest loans, also include 1888 Century Park East (7.6%), 1100 & 820 First Street NE (6.5%), Chicago Crossed Portfolio (5.8%), and The Summit (5.4%), and represent 32.8% of the initial pool balance, while the top 10 loans represent 51.4%.

KBRA’s analysis of the transaction incorporated our multi-borrower rating process that begins with our analysts’ evaluation of the underlying collateral properties’ financial and operating performance, which determine KBRA’s estimate of sustainable net cash flow (KNCF) and KBRA value using our U.S. CMBS Property Evaluation Methodology. On an aggregate basis, KNCF was 9.4% less than the issuer cash flow. KBRA capitalization rates were applied to each asset’s KNCF to derive values that were, on an aggregate basis, 43.1% less than third party appraisal values. The pool has an in-trust KLTV of 99.1% and an all-in KLTV of 106.9%. The model deploys rent and occupancy stresses, probability of default regressions, and loss given default calculations to determine losses for each collateral loan that are then used to assign our credit ratings.
