The Renaissance and Grand Hyatt Seattle, both sponsored by R.C. Hedreen, account for 14.2% of the assets in the $774.1 million JPMCC 2018-COR4.

Late payments on loans backing commercial mortgage bonds continued falling at the start of the year, due to strong new issuance volume and continued resolutions for precrisis loans by special servicers, according to Fitch Ratings.

The $756 million GSMS 2019-GC38 is backed by with 36 loans secured by 53 properties; nine of the loans (29.2% of the total balance) are secured in whole or in part by 12 single-tenant properties.

The loan used as collateral is part of $410 million of financing the sponsor obtained from Societe Generale to refinance the redevelopment of a 10-story mixed-use building on Eleventh Avenue in Manhattan.

Office buildings account for roughly 40% of the collateral, and much of it is in suburbia, where defaults and losses can be higher, according to S&P Global Ratings.

A $1.1 billion mortgage from four banks on eight buildings in Cambridge, Mass., is being bundled into collateral for CAMB Commercial Mortgage Trust 2019-LIFE.

The only change to the deal is a slightly smaller prefunding amount; one loan that had been expected to be acquired after settlement has already been closed.

It may not signal a recession, but structured finance pros are still preparing for a more risk-off environment.

Loans in commercial mortgage-backed securities originated after 2009 by nonbank lenders have a significantly higher default rate than those originated by banks, a Fitch Ratings report said.

The asset manager obtained a leasehold on floors 28-50 of 620 Eighth Avenue through its purchase of Forest City; the property is now encumbered by $750 million of loans from four banks.
