Fitch Affirms JPMBB 2014-C19

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Fitch Ratings has affirmed 14 classes of J.P. Morgan Chase Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust (JPMBB) commercial mortgage pass-through certificates series 2014-C19. A detailed list of rating actions follows at the end of this press release.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

The affirmations reflect the transaction's stable performance since issuance. As of the April 2015 distribution date, the pool's aggregate principal balance has been reduced by 15.5% to $1.42 billion from $1.68 billion at issuance. No loans are defeased. Only 17% of the loans reported partial year 2014 financials. There is a notable retail exposure within the transaction. Eight of the top 15 loans representing 35% of the pool are secured by retail properties.

The largest loan in the pool is the Outlets at Orange loan (8.8% of the pool), which is secured by a 787,697 square foot (sf) open air outlet mall located in Orange, CA. Built in 1998, the mall is anchored by Saks Fifth Avenue Off 5th, Last Call by Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom Rack. Entertainment tenants include a 30-screen AMC Theater, Dave & Buster's, an indoor Vans Skate Park, Lucky Strike Bowling and more than 25 restaurants and cafes. The debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) was reported to be 2.75x as of September 2014 compared to 2.79x at issuance. Occupancy was reported to be 99%, which is in line with the occupancy at issuance.

The next largest loan in the pool is the NSP Multifamily Portfolio loan (8.4%). The loan is collateralized by four multifamily properties totaling 1,382 units. The properties are located in Coraopolis, PA, Cranberry Township, PA, Florence, KY and Lexington, KY. As of year-end 2014, the DSCR and occupancy was reported to be 1.87x and 88%, respectively, compared to 1.44x and 91% at issuance.

The third largest loan in the pool is the 470 Vanderbilt Avenue loan (7%), which is secured by a 646,834 sf office building located in downtown Brooklyn, NY. The 10-story building is directly across from the Atlantic Yards Development Complex and several blocks east of the Barclays Center. 70.9% of the net rentable area is occupied by New York City agencies on long-term leases. At issuance, the property was 88% occupied and the DSCR was 1.87x.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

The Rating Outlook for all classes remains Stable due to stable collateral performance. Fitch does not foresee positive or negative ratings migration until a material economic or asset-level event changes the transaction's portfolio-level metrics. Additional information on rating sensitivity is available in the report 'JPMBB 2014-C18' (April 22, 2014), available at 'www.fitchratings.com'.
