Fitch Upgrades 1 Class of DLJCM 1999-CG3

April 2, 2015 3:06 PM EDT

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Fitch Ratings has upgraded one and affirmed five classes of DLJ Commercial Mortgage Corporation commercial mortgage pass-through certificates series 1999-CG3. A detailed list of rating actions follows at the end of this press release.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

The upgrade is due to high credit enhancement (CE), despite the concentrated nature of the pool. There are only four loans remaining, including one defeased loan (30% of the pool) and one specially serviced loan (10.9%). Fitch modeled losses of 6.7% of the remaining pool; expected losses on the original pool balance total 5.3%, including $46.8 million (5.2% of the original pool balance) in realized losses to date.

As of the March 2015 distribution date, the pool's aggregate principal balance has been reduced by 98.7% to $11.8 million from $899.3 million at issuance. Interest shortfalls are currently affecting classes B-5 through D.

The specially-serviced loan is the Whitfield Village Apartments, which is secured by four 2-story and one 1-story building that consists of 48, 2-bedroom/2-bathroom, Class C, multifamily units located in Sarasota, FL (55 miles south of Tampa). The loan transferred to special servicing in March 2012 for monetary default. Prior to the trust taking the property into receivership in March 2013, the borrower filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Per the most recent property inspection dated July 2014, the property was found to be in good condition with the primary deferred maintenance items being the deteriorated parking lot and drainage system. The property is 88% occupied as of January 2015. The most recent debt-service coverage ratio (DSCR) as of year-end (YE) 2014 was 1.03x.

The loan was modified effective Jan. 1, 2015 and modification terms include an interest rate reduction to 5.25% from 8.58%, extension of the maturity to Dec. 1, 2024 from July 1, 2019; and prepayment allowed in whole or in part on any payment date without penalty. The loan is expected to be returned to the master servicer after the receipt of three timely payments and all outstanding items have been cleared.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

The Rating Outlook on class B-4 remains Stable due to increasing CE and continued paydown. Although CE is high and a significant amount of the class is covered by defeasance, upgrades are not likely as the defeased loan does not mature until 2023 and the remaining pool is concentrated. All of the remaining loans are multifamily loans with maturities in 2023, 2024 and 2028.

Fitch upgrades the following class as indicated:

--$4.6 million class B-4 to 'BBsf' from 'Bsf'; Outlook Stable.

Fitch affirms the following classes as indicated:

--$7.2 million class B-5 at 'Dsf'; RE 90%;

--$0 class B-6 at 'Dsf'; RE 0%;

--$0 class B-7 at 'Dsf'; RE 0%;

--$0 class B-8 at 'Dsf'; RE 0%;

--$0 class C at 'Dsf'; RE 0%.

The class A-1A, A-1B, A-1C, A-2, A-3, A-4, A-5, B-1, B-2 and B-3 certificates have paid in full. Fitch does not rate the class D certificates. Fitch previously withdrew the rating on the interest-only class S certificates.
