The WSJ reports and every dealer on the street reports that Kushner has worked out a deal on 666 Fifth Avenue. They're going to take a 9.5% haircut back as a B note, Vornado is going to be a partner (improving the ownership) and the coupon is going to be reduced.
Boo, for IOs and deep credit, but huge positive for seniors and mezz portions of the CMBS deals: GECMC 2007-C1, WBCMT 2007-C31, and WBCMT 2007-C33. All of which I own some of and two of which I've had heavy reverse inquiry on the last few days.
*So far, I haven't seen any precise information on what the new coupon is or whether the special has formally confirmed the deal.

Vornado in as equity partner in workout of LNR special serviced loan; i'm sure VNO's stake in LNR had nothing to do with it..
Anon: VNO is going to be involved in any NYC large office transaction, although I agree that they get first look. WBCMT 2007-C33: what's the story with 3-Boro? Are there mechanics and tax liens? It's specially serviced but that's about all she wrote.
Regarding 3 Boro - I don't know - it sounds like there are 1-2mm of liens. This loan has institutional sponsorship but it was basically a rent-control-flip story and its so spread out. I'm putting my money that they lose it in foreclosure, but perhaps they have the pull to get a modification on it.
I just happened to be looking at my C33 notes and saw your comment from last month...
