Contacts

KBRA upgrades the rating of one class of certificates and affirms all other outstanding ratings of FREMF 2017-K65, a $1.2 billion CMBS multi-borrower transaction. All loans were originated in conjunction with the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation's (Freddie Mac) K-Deal program. The rating actions follow a surveillance review of the transaction, which has exhibited a continued improvement in pool performance since KBRA's last ratings change in February 2025. In addition, the rating actions reflect transaction deleveraging from loan defeasances and amortization.

As of the January 2026 remittance period, there are no delinquent or specially serviced loans. However, KBRA identified three K-LOCs (1.7% of the pool balance), none of which have estimated losses.
