KBRA affirms all of its outstanding ratings for FREMF 2018-K85, a $1.5 billion CMBS multi-borrower transaction. All loans were originated in conjunction with the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation’s (Freddie Mac) K-Deal program. The rating actions follow a surveillance review of the transaction, which has exhibited stable pool performance since the last ratings change in January 2025.

As of the December 2025 remittance period, there are no delinquent or specially serviced loans; however, one loan, The Residence On Lamar (10th largest, 2.7% of the pool balance), has been identified as a K-LOC with no estimated loss.

The transaction’s WA KLTV is 88.0%, compared to 92.1% at KBRA’s last ratings change and 113.0% at securitization. The KDSC is 1.82x, compared to 1.75x at last ratings change and 1.39x at securitization.
