The Class A-3-1, A-3-2, A-3-X1, A-3-X2, A-4-1, A-4-2, A-4-X1, A-4-X2, A-S-1, A-S-2, A-S-X1, and A-S-X2 certificates are also offered certificates. Such classes of certificates, together with the Class A-3, A-4, and A-S certificates, constitute the Exchangeable Certificates. The Class A-1, A-SB, A-2, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H certificates, together with the Risk Retention Interest and the Exchangeable Certificates with a certificate balance, are referred to as the principal balance certificates.

The rating confirmations reflect the transaction’s overall stable performance since issuance. At issuance, the transaction consisted of 40 fixed-rate loans secured by 62 commercial and multifamily properties, with a trust balance of $814.5 million. As of the November 2021 remittance, all loans remain in the pool and there has been negligible amortization to date. The pool has a relatively high concentration of loans secured by office and retail properties with six loans, representing 42.3% of the pool balance, secured by office properties and 10 loans, representing 33.6% of the pool, secured by retail properties.

At issuance, DBRS Morningstar shadow-rated three loans, 605 Third Avenue (Prospectus ID#1; 9.8% of the pool), McDonald’s Global HQ (Prospectus ID#4; 8.6% of the pool), and The Grace Building (Prospectus ID#6; 7.4% of the pool) as investment grade. With this review, DBRS Morningstar confirms the performance of all three loans remains in line with the investment grade shadow ratings.

According to the November 2021 remittance, five loans, representing 13.8% of the pool, are on the servicer’s watchlist, including the McDonald’s Global HQ, which was added to the watchlist in August 2021 because of a borrower noncompliance issue. However, the loan continues to report stable financials with a Q1 2021 debt service coverage ratio of 1.49 times and an occupancy rate of 96.0%. Three of the remaining loans, including 11 Bronx River Owners Inc. (Prospectus ID#35; 0.3% of the pool) and 7520 Ridge Owners Corp (Prospectus ID#40; 0.1% of the pool), which are secured by co-operative housing properties, and The Comfort Suites – Moab, UT (Prospectus ID#19; 1.0% of the pool) loan, are being monitored for deferred maintenance observed at the most recent servicer site inspections. There are no loans in special servicing.
