KBRA Downgrades One Rating for MSBAM 2014-C19 to D (sf) Following Realization of Principal Losses
9 Jul 2026 | New York
KBRA downgrades the rating of the Class F certificate to D (sf) from C (sf) for MSBAM 2014-C19, a $79.1 million CMBS conduit transaction, following realized losses incurred from the resolution of the PacStar Retail Portfolio asset ($41.9 million loan balance at disposition) as reflected in the June 2026 remittance report. The asset consisted of Yards Plaza, a 260,481 sf retail center located in Chicago and Willowbrook Court Shopping Center, a 137,650 sf retail center located in Houston. An appraisal dated August 2025 valued the property at $12.4 million ($31 per sf), representing an 82.2% decrease from closing ($69.6 million; $175 per sf). The loan was liquidated for net proceeds totaling $17.4 million. As of the June 2026 distribution date, liquidation expenses totaled $9.0 million, resulting in a loss of $33.5 million (65.3% loss severity of original balance), all of which was applied to the remaining transaction certificate balance. The loss was generally in line with KBRA's expectations as reflected in our November 2025 surveillance report.
According to the June 2026 remittance report, cumulative principal losses on the transaction totaled $51.9 million. Following the liquidation of the PacStar Retail Portfolio asset, the certificate balance for the Class G was reduced to zero and the principal balance of Class F was reduced to $13.0 million (50.6% of the original certificate balance).
KBRA's other outstanding ratings for the transaction are unchanged at this time.
