US commercial real estate debt risks

Overview

The United States commercial real estate sector is experiencing heightened pressure from rising interest rates and significant debt maturities. In the office sector, CMBS delinquency reached 12%, with approximately $40 billion of the $64 billion in maturing office CMBS debt currently delinquent, in default, or on a watchlist.

The multifamily sector is also facing a substantial refinancing squeeze. Owners are navigating a ‘refinance gap’ as loans originally issued at low rates must be refinanced at much higher costs. Approximately $297 billion in multifamily debt is scheduled to mature in 2026, representing about 13% of the $2.3 trillion in tracked multifamily loans. Further maturities are expected to exceed $200 billion annually through 2029.

Multifamily CMBS delinquencies have risen from 1% in October 2023 to 7.69% in July. This trend has led to notable delinquencies in states such as Ohio, Texas, and New York, with 30 multifamily CMBS loans totaling $509.3 million becoming newly delinquent in July alone.
