Delinquency and special servicing rates for retail CMBS loans in Manhattan are at an all-time high, according to a new report from Trepp x Compstak. Delinquency rates hit 16.68% in August, and special servicing rates increased to 17.55%.
Before the pandemic, retail delinquency and special servicing rates were low, at 2.38% and 8.41% in February, respectively, and previous historical peak levels were 3.71% and 4.39%, respectively.
