KBRA Assigns Preliminary Ratings to ILPT 2019-SURF

NEW YORK--()--Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA) announces the assignment of preliminary ratings to six classes of ILPT 2019-SURF, a CMBS single-borrower securitization.

The collateral for the transaction is a $390.0 million portion of a $650.0 million non-recourse, first lien mortgage loan secured by the borrower’s leased fee interests in approximately 9.3 million sf of land underlying 177 predominantly industrial properties and its fee simple interests in eight industrial properties (295,388 sf) and one surface parking lot (30,000 sf). The combined 9.6 million sf does not include 4.2 million sf associated with the overlying non-collateral improvements. Collectively, the 186 properties (“the portfolio”) has an appraised value of approximately $1.4 billion. The portfolio’s 10 largest properties account for approximately a quarter of the trust balance, and the largest fifteen properties represent 29.8%.

The portfolio consists of 172 industrial assets (89.8%), four retail properties (6.0%), eight land parcels (2.0%), one office property (1.9%), and one surface parking lot (0.4%). All of the assets are located in Honolulu, Hawaii. Overall, 179 (93.2%) of the 186 assets are situated in the two established industrial-commercial parks of Mapunapuna (67.3%) and Sand Island (25.9%) in proximity to the Honolulu International Airport and Honolulu Harbor, respectively. Of the remaining properties, four are located in Downtown Honolulu (3.9%), two (2.6%) in the Salt Lake neighborhood, and one property is situated in an industrial park in Waipahu (0.3%). As of December 2018, the subject properties were leased to more than 170 unique tenants, with only one vacant suite accounting for 900 sf.

KBRA’s analysis of the transaction included a detailed evaluation of the properties’ cash flows using our U.S. CMBS Property Evaluation Methodology and the application of our U.S. CMBS Single Borrower & Large Loan Rating Methodology. The results of our analysis yielded a KBRA net cash flow (KNCF) for the portfolio of $61.5 million. To value the portfolio, KBRA applied a blended capitalization rate of 6.61% to arrive at a KBRA value of $930.5 million. The resulting KBRA Loan-to-Value (KLTV) is 69.9%. In our analysis of the transaction, we also reviewed and considered third party engineering, environmental, and appraisal reports; the results of our site visits of the properties; and legal documentation.
