KBRA downgrades the ratings of nine classes of certificates and affirms all other outstanding ratings of CD 2016-CD2, an $856.4 million CMBS conduit transaction. The rating actions follow a surveillance review of the transaction, which has exhibited an increase in KBRA's estimated losses from six K-LOCs (32.4% of the pool balance), four of which (29.8%) are within the top 10 loans. Additionally, including the K-LOCs, seven of the top 10 loans (49.6%) have been assigned a KPO of Underperform.

As of the October 2024 remittance period, there are two specially serviced assets (13.4%), of which one (8.8%) is REO and one loan (4.7%) is 90+ days delinquent. KBRA identified eight K-LOCs (44.9%), including the specially serviced assets. These include:

Five of the top 10 assets (37.9%):

  • 8 Times Square & 1460 Broadway (largest, 11.7% of the pool balance, 13.2% estimated loss severity)

  • 55 East 59th Street (Office Condo) (0.7%, 29.6%)

The remaining loan represents 4.4% of the pool balance.
