KBRA places the ratings of six classes of COMM 2014-CCRE17, a CMBS conduit transaction, on Watch Downgrade.

The Watch placements are based on an increase in interest shortfalls and concentration of specially serviced assets and K-LOCs. Currently, interest shortfalls are affecting up to and including the Class B certificates. KBRA considered the likelihood of interest shortfalls continuing during the resolution of the specially serviced assets.

As of the September 2025 remittance period, six assets remain in the pool, all of which have been identified as K-LOCs. The largest, 25 Broadway (49.1% of pool balance) executed a 24-month forbearance through July 2026. Of the other remaining assets, three are listed as REO (15.7%) and two (35.4%) are matured non-performing. In addition to the previously deemed non-recoverable REO assets, Cottonwood Mall (32.5%) and Dundalk Village (2.9%) were classified as non-recoverable by the servicer in September 2025, driving interest shortfalls higher in the capital structure compared to prior months.

KBRA will continue to monitor the transaction and the underlying loans' performance and will seek to resolve or update the Watch Downgrade status within 90 days.

Details concerning the classes with ratings place on Watch are as follows:

  • Class B to A (sf) DN from A (sf)
  • Class C to BBB (sf) DN from BBB (sf)
  • Class PEZ to BBB (sf) DN from BBB (sf)
  • Class D to B (sf) DN from B (sf)
  • Class E to CCC (sf) DN from CCC (sf)
  • Class F to CC (sf) DN from CC (sf)
