KBRA Assigns Preliminary Ratings to COMM 2025-167G

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--KBRA announces the assignment of preliminary ratings to eight classes of COMM 2025-167G, a CMBS single-borrower securitization. The collateral for the transaction is a $247.0 million fixed rate, interest-only first lien mortgage loan. The fixed-rate loan has a five-year term and requires monthly interest-only payments based on an assumed interest rate of 6.70%. The loan is secured by the borrower's fee simple interest in 167 North Green Street, a 17-story, Class-A, LEED Gold office tower containing 638,794 sf. The building is located in the Fulton Market neighborhood of downtown Chicago. The property was developed in 2021 by the sponsors and as of June 2025, the property was 91.9% leased to 18 unique tenants. The five largest tenants by base rent consist of CCC Information Services (23.2% of total base rent), MoLo Solutions (16.1%), WeWork (14.4%), Builders Vision (8.3%), and Kroll (Duff & Phelps) (7.8%).

The resulting in-trust KBRA Loan to Value (KLTV) is 100.7%.
