One Congress Street: I'm baaack!

Even though it was on the tape as an office property it's mostly a parking garage.  Any ideas for an alternative use for a parking garage?

Also, the October remittance cycle was pretty ho-hum.  Biggest move I saw was 400mm in 60 day dq in MLMT 2007-C1 on two Ezra Beyman loans which had already benefited from a 70/30 A/B note mod, but apparently that was due to a late payment being applied by the servicer.  We shall see.

Stuy Town appraised at 3.5bln ... so what?

People are besides themselves that Stuy Town has been reappraised for $500mm more than the senior loan balance, as a potential sale approaches early 2015 (which is also not going to happen without a co-op conversion plan).  So what???  At least that amount has been advanced by the servicer, and they are at the front of the line to get repaid upon loan liquidation.

Another $200mm goes to special ... whoop whoop!

For all of you avid CMBS fans, GG10 is supposed to be the benchmark issue ... super-senior spreads on A4 are considered the level where super-seniors should trade.  But, lo and behold, this deal is looking like a POS.  AJs are getting shorted interest, and with this transfer, is the AM not far behind?

MSC 2007-HQ13 top loan to be sold at an estimated 133% loss

http://www.crenews.com/top-stories.html

Pier at Caesars is under contract to be sold for $3mm.  Well, it had to get resolved at some point.  A colleague who had visited the place once said, "Everyone I saw there looked lost."

Two aspects of this property's story point to how the special servicer was negligent. 

First was when, soon after Hurricane Sandy, they issued a bulletin relaying that damage was minimal and tenants were being allowed back into their premises.  A few months later, Sandy-related damages of over $10mm were reported.  Huh? 

Second, as pointed out by Barclays, the special rejected a $25mm bid when the property was put up for sale on Auction.com about 3 years ago.  So, the special managed to subtract $7mm/year in value, yet will still collect their fees.

By the way, the HQ in HQ13 stands for "High Quality" 

Bad CMBS deals only get worse
