KBRA affirms all ratings for BX 2025-ROIC, a CMBS single-borrower transaction. The affirmations follow a surveillance review of the transaction, which has exhibited stable performance since securitization in February 2025.

At securitization, the transaction was secured by a $2.8 billion first-lien whole mortgage loan backed by a portfolio of 93 retail properties with 10.5 million sf of space. Since closing, three property releases have reduced the portfolio to 90 properties and decreased the outstanding balance to $2.7 billion as of the January 2026 remittance period. The portfolio has 10.2 million sf of space in three states that is leased to approximately 1,400 tenants. The floating-rate, interest-only loan has an initial term of two years and allows three one-year extension options. The initial maturity is in March 2027. The sponsor is an affiliate of The Blackstone Group (NYSE: BX).

KBRA analyzed the cash flow for the properties utilizing information from the trustee and servicer to determine KNCF. The analysis produced a KNCF of $199.5 million and a KBRA value of $2.3 billion ($226 per sf). The resulting in-trust KLTV is 118.2%, compared to 114.4% at securitization. KBRA assigned a KPO of Perform to the loan.
