Headlines

The following appeared in a recent e-edition of Standard & Poor’s daily asset backed securities research.

“CMBS: Modest New Issuance Growth; 2007 Maturities Struggling”

“The current CMBS pipeline indicates modest year-over-year new issuance growth, while the latest payoff data suggests that 2007 vintage loans are struggling to refinance. Adding the year-to-date new issuance figure of $1.3billion to the current Commercial Mortgage Alert pipeline of 14 deals totaling $10.8 billion through April indicates an annualized pace of $36-$37billion in 2012, which represents about 10-15% year-over-year growth, and slightly above our [Standard & Poor’s] forecast of $35billion. Meanwhile, only 27% of 2007 vintage loans that came due in January paid off, and nearly half of the total was attributed to one large loan, according to Trepp.
