As of the February 16, 2007 distribution date, the transaction's
aggregate certificate balance has decreased by approximately 2.1%
to $1.60 billion from $1.64 billion at securitization.
The Certificates are collateralized by 174 mortgage loans. The
loans range in size from less than 1.0% to 9.6%
of the pool, with the top 10 loans representing 42.5%
of the pool. The pool includes one investment grade shadow rated
loan, representing 3.2% of the outstanding pool balance.
Five loans, representing 10.7% of the pool,
have defeased and are secured by U.S. Government securities.
The pool's largest loan, One Park Avenue ($154.0
million -- 9.6%), has defeased. There
have been no loans liquidated from the pool and no losses. Currently
one loan, representing less than 1.0% of the pool,
is in special servicing. There are no losses projected from this
loan at the present time. Twenty-four loans, representing
8.2% of the pool, are on the master servicer's watchlist.
Moody's was provided with full-year 2005 and partial-year
2006 operating results for 95.6% and 83.5%,
respectively, of the performing loans. Moody's loan to value
ratio ("LTV") for the conduit component is 91.7%,
compared to 91.1% at securitization.
The shadow rated loan is the Mizner Park Loan ($51.1 million
- 3.2%), which is secured by a leasehold interest
in a mixed-use property located in Boca Raton, Florida.
The subject is part of a larger property known as Mizner Park, which
includes office, retail and residential components. Only
the office and retail portions secure this loan. Built in phases
between 1991 and 1996, and renovated in 1999, the collateral
includes six buildings containing 504,463 square feet. The
office space is allocated between a seven-story office building
(163,818 square feet) and a low-rise office plaza (104,108
square feet). The combined office components represent 53.1%
of the collateral's net rentable area. The retail portion totals
236,537 square feet (46.9% NRA) and is comprised of
the ground level space as well as a free-standing retail building.
As of July 2006 the overall occupancy level was 88.4%,
essentially the same as at securitization (88.7%).
The loan sponsor is The Rouse Company. Moody's current shadow
rating is Baa2, the same as at securitization.
The three largest conduit loans represent 17.1% of the pool.
The largest conduit loan is the Pacific Design Center Loan ($150.0
million - 9.4%), which is secured by a 961,
859 square foot office complex located in West Hollywood, California.
The two main buildings are known as the Blue Building and the Green Building,
due to their colored glass exteriors. The Blue Building was constructed
in 1976 and contains 587,859 square feet, which is mostly
utilized as design showroom space. The Green Building is a nine-story
office and showroom facility constructed in 1988. In addition to
the showroom and office space, the property also houses a 384-seat
theater and screening room, conference facilities, a two-story
gallery leased to the Museum of Contemporary Art, a fitness facility,
a seven-level parking garage and two restaurants. The property
also includes a 1.5 acre landscaped plaza with an open-air
amphitheater. As of December 2006 the property was 87.4%
occupied, compared to 79.6% at securitization.
The two largest leases are with affiliates of Interpublic Group ("IPG")
and represent 21.9% of the leased square footage through
July 2015 and January 2017. IPG is an advertising and marketing
conglomerate. The loan is interest only for the first three years
of its term converting to a 28-year schedule thereafter.
Moody's LTV is 80.2%, the same as at securitization.
The second largest conduit loan is the 160 West 24th Street Loan ($73.6
million - 4.6%), which is secured by a 204-unit,
18-story multifamily property located in the Chelsea submarket
of New York City. The improvements were constructed between 1987
and 1999. The property is 100.0% master leased to
ExecuStay (the same as at securitization) under a lease through January
2017, with two five-year renewal options. However,
the lease can be terminated at any time subject to a termination fee of
$15.6 million that is guaranteed by Marriott International,
Inc (Moody's senior unsecured ratingBaa2; stable outlook).
The termination penalty increases through July 2011 reaching a maximum
of $17.6 million, reducing to $11.1
million thereafter. Moody's LTV is 87.1%, compared
to 90.3% at securitization.
The third largest conduit loan is the Centro Gran Caribe Loan ($50.7
million -- 3.2%), which is secured by a 387,437
square foot enclosed retail mall located in Vega Alta, Puerto Rico
approximately 23 miles west of the San Juan CBD. The property was
originally built as two distinct retail properties with separate ownership.
Subsequently the properties were joined and are now physically connected
by an enclosed, air-conditioned pedestrian walkway.
As of December 2006 occupancy was 94.1%, compared
to 95.7% at securitization. Financial performance
has been stable to moderately higher since securitization. The
loan was interest only for the first two years of its term but now amortizes
on a 28-year schedule. Moody's LTV is 83.0%,
compared to 85.4% at securitization.
The pool's collateral is a mix of office and mixed use (35.2%),
retail (28.0%), multifamily and manufactured housing
(20.5%), U.S. Government securities
(10.7%), industrial and self storage (3.9%)
and lodging (1.7%). The collateral properties are
located in 30 states, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia.
The highest state concentrations are California (25.4%),
Texas (11.6%), New York (10.7%),
Florida (6.8%) and Michigan (6.8%).
All of the loans are fixed rate.
