KBRA downgrades the ratings of two classes of certificates and affirms all other outstanding ratings for CSAIL 2019-C17, a $739.6 million CMBS conduit transaction. The rating actions follow a surveillance review of the transaction, which has exhibited an increase in KBRA’s estimated losses for four K-LOCs (18.0% of the pool balance), two of which are among the top ten loans, since KBRA's last ratings change in September 2024.

As of the August 2025 remittance period, there are three specially serviced assets (17.2%), which include two delinquent loans (11.9%) and one current loan (5.3%). KBRA identified six K-LOCs (22.1%), including the specially serviced assets. The K-LOCs are depicted in the table below:
