KBRA upgrades the rating of one class and affirms all other outstanding ratings for FREMF 2016-K60, a $972.1 million 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 an improvement in pool performance since last review, primarily the result of transaction deleveraging from loan defeasances and amortization.

As of the February 2026 remittance period, none of the loans are specially serviced or delinquent; however, KBRA identified three K-LOCs (4.7% of the pool balance), of which two (2.3%) have estimated losses. The K-LOCs are displayed in the table below:
