KBRA Assigns Preliminary Ratings to BX 2026-ORBT

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--KBRA announces the assignment of preliminary ratings to three classes of BX 2026-ORBT, a CMBS single-borrower securitization. The collateral for the transaction is a $1.4 billion floating rate, interest-only mortgage loan. The loan is expected to have an initial two-year term with three, one-year extension options and require monthly interest-only payments. The loan will be secured by the borrower’s fee simple and leasehold interests in 84 industrial assets. In total, the portfolio contains 13.1 million sf and the properties are located across 12 states, the five largest of which are Florida (20 properties, 24.2% of ALA), Pennsylvania (seven, 13.4%), Virginia (13, 12.9%), Illinois (nine, 10.3%), and Maryland (four, 9.4%). As of June 2026, the portfolio was 91.4% leased to over 165 unique tenants.

KBRA’s analysis of the transaction included a detailed evaluation of the property’s cash flows using our North American CMBS Property Evaluation Methodology and the application of our North American CMBS Single Borrower & Large Loan Rating Methodology. In addition, KBRA also relied on its Global Structured Finance Counterparty Methodology for assessing counterparty risk in this transaction.

The results of our analysis yielded a KBRA net cash flow (KNCF) for the subject of approximately $86.3 million, which is 12.5% below the issuer’s NCF, and a KBRA value of approximately $1.1 billion, which is 40.2% below the appraiser’s aggregate as-is value. The resulting in-trust KBRA Loan to Value (KLTV) is 127.4%. In our analysis of the transaction, we also reviewed and considered third party engineering, environmental, and appraisal reports, the results of our site inspection of the properties, and legal documentation review.
