May 12, 2026
Private-Label CMBS and CRE CLOs
Five transactions totaling $5.5 billion priced last week:
- NYC 2026-9W57, a $1.8 billion SASB backed by a fixed-rate, five-year, interest-only loan for Soloviev Group to refinance 9 West 57th Street, the 1.72 million sf, 50-story Class A office tower in Manhattan’s Plaza District. The property, also known as the Solow Building, is 92% leased to more than 30 tenants with an eight-year WALT, led by Apollo Global Management, Chanel, Sculptor Capital Management, Davidson Kempner, and Veritas Capital. Loan proceeds will retire an existing $1.2 billion CMBS loan, fund reserves and closing costs, and return roughly $518 million to the sponsor.
- BX 2026-CIP, a $1.3 billion SASB backed by a floating-rate, interest-only loan for Blackstone to refinance 83 industrial properties totaling 12.97 million sf across 15 states. The loan has a two-year initial term plus three one-year extension options. The Link Logistics-managed portfolio comprises 37 warehouses, 35 light-industrial properties, and 11 bulk warehouses across 28 markets, led by Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth, and Columbus, OH. The portfolio is 90.2% leased to roughly 150 tenants with a 3.8-year WALT; proceeds plus $183 million of sponsor equity will retire the $1.45 billion balance of the existing BX 2021-CIP CMBS loan and cover closing costs.
- VMC 2026-FL6, a $1.015 billion managed CRE CLO sponsored by Värde Partners through its VMC Lender platform. The initial collateral pool consists of two whole loans and 16 loan participations secured by 40 properties across 16 states, with top property concentrations in multifamily (56.5%), hotel (19.0%), industrial (9.9%), self-storage (8.0%), medical office (4.5%), and retail (2.1%). On a weighted-average basis, the loans carry a SOFR + 335 bp spread, eight months of seasoning, and 30 months of remaining term, or 53 months including extension options. The transaction includes a 30-month reinvestment period.
- BMARK 2026-V22, a $750.2 million conduit backed by 32 five-year loans secured by 145 properties. Fitch classifies the pool’s largest property-type exposures as hotel (25.2%), office (22.2%), multifamily (16.2%), self-storage (15.8%), and industrial (13.3%), reflecting its modeling treatment of certain leased-fee and mixed-use collateral. The top five loans are Mountain Industrial Portfolio, Compass Storage National Portfolio, Pinnacle Tower, Chateau Marmont, and Harris Building, together representing 43.5% of the pool; the top 10 represent 68.1%.
- WFCM 2026-5C9, a $619.9 million conduit backed by 29 five-year loans secured by 138 properties. The pool’s largest property-type exposures are retail (22.9%), multifamily (20.3%), industrial (14.9%), office (12.5%), and mixed-use (11.6%); top states are California (23.9%), New York (15.2%), Maryland (9.4%), Indiana (9.1%), and Arkansas (6.5%). The top five loans are Mall at Prince George’s, City Center on 6th, 535 & 545 5th Avenue, Sunshine Lake MHC Portfolio, and Marriott Indianapolis North, together representing 39.9% of the pool; the top 10 represent 64.2%.
