-- Class C at A (sf)

All trends are Stable.
The rating confirmations reflect the overall stable performance of the transaction, which remains in line with DBRS Morningstar’s expectations at issuance. The transaction is collateralized by the $430.0 million senior portion of $650.0 million in total debt, which includes a $71.0 million junior loan and $149.0 million in mezzanine debt, both held outside the trust. The fixed-rate loan was originally structured with a partial interest-only (IO) period that ended in September 2020, and it is now amortizing on a 30-year schedule through its maturity date in 2027. As of the January 2023 remittance, the outstanding balance has been paid down by 4.1% since issuance. The loan is sponsored by the Jay Paul Company, a privately held San Francisco-based real estate investor.
The loan is secured by Moffett Place, a three-building, 943,056-square foot, Class A office complex in Sunnyvale, California. The property is 100% occupied by an investment-grade-rated tenant, Google LLC (Google), which has a lease, coterminous with the loan’s initial maturity, through 2027 with two seven-year renewal options and no termination options. Google has a large presence in the immediate area with Google Technology Corners less than one mile away and the Googleplex headquarters in Mountain View, California, within five miles. The loan is structured with a cash flow sweep in the event of certain triggers, including Google not providing notice of its intent to renew two years prior to lease expiration.
According to the most recent trailing nine months ended September 30, 2022, financials, the loan reported a debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) of 1.69 times (x), compared with the YE2021 DSCR and YE2020 DSCR of 1.66x and 1.92x, respectively.
