KBRA downgrades the ratings of two classes of certificates and affirms all other outstanding ratings for BANK 2017-BNK8, a $976.2 million CMBS conduit transaction. The rating actions follow a surveillance review of the transaction, which has exhibited an increase in estimated losses from two top 10 K-LOCs (16.9% of the pool balance). The rating actions also reflect the transaction’s deleveraging from loan payoffs, amortization and defeasance.

As of the October 2024 remittance period, there is one (10.2%) specially serviced loan and one (0.1%) loan which is 30+ days delinquent. KBRA identified seven K-LOCs (19.1%), including the specially serviced and delinquent loans. This includes:

Two of the top 10 loans (16.8%):

  • Park Square (largest, 10.2% of the pool balance, 28.9% estimated loss severity)
  • DHG Greater Boston Hotel Portfolio (6th largest, 6.6%, 10.7%)

The remaining five K-LOCs represent 2.3% of the pool balance.

Excluding the K-LOCs with estimated losses, the transaction’s WA KLTV is 96.8%, which compares to 105.5% at last review and 95.2% at securitization. The KDSC is 2.23x, which compares to 2.30x at last review and to 2.33x at securitization.

Details concerning the classes with rating changes are as follows:

  • Class D to BB (sf) from BBB- (sf)
  • Class X-D to BB (sf) from BBB- (sf)
