Mortgage Bankers Reports Commercial/Multifamily Delinquencies Continue Downward Trend in Second Quarter

Jamie Woodwell

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Sept. 9, 2015) — Delinquency rates for commercial and multifamily mortgage loans continued to decline in the second quarter of 2015, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association’s (MBA) Commercial/Multifamily Delinquency Report.

“As commercial property incomes and values continue to climb, and financing remains plentiful, loan performance continues to improve as well,” said Jamie Woodwell, MBA’s Vice President of Commercial Real Estate Research.

 “Commercial and multifamily mortgage delinquency rates were down broadly in the second quarter, with highlights including the lowest 90+ day delinquency rate on bank-held multifamily loans since the series began in 1993, and 60+ day delinquency rates below 0.06 percent for loans held by life companies, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.”

The MBA analysis looks at commercial/multifamily delinquency rates for five of the largest investor-groups: commercial banks and thrifts, commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), life insurance companies, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac.  Together these groups hold more than 80 percent of commercial/multifamily mortgage debt outstanding.

Cortland Partners’ New Acquisitions Keep Company on Track to Meet Goals

  

Steven DeFrancis

ATLANTA, GA — Cortland Partners is on track to meet its growth objectives for 2015 thanks to the company’s acquisitions since the beginning of the year, including its most recent addition in August of 1,374 units with a value of nearly $139 million across markets in Georgia, Texas and Florida.

Since the start of 2014, Cortland Partners has acquired approximately 14,000 units and now owns over 30,000 apartment homes throughout the Southeast, Midwest, and Texas.

As part of this expansion, the Atlanta-based company opened a new regional office in Charlotte, North Carolina in April. This spring, Cortland purchased 3,265 units in Charlotte, becoming the fourth-largest multifamily owner in the Queen City.

The company’s growth has landed it on the 2015 National Multifamily Housing Council’s (NMHC) prestigious annual ranking of the 50 largest apartment owners. This designation marks Cortland’s first time on the list, which is a nationwide ranking based on the number of units owned.

“Our growth this year is both significant and sustainable,” said Steven DeFrancis, CEO of Cortland Partners. “Through our strategic infrastructure, which includes product design, property management, construction management, and manufacturing, we are uniquely positioned to drive outsized returns by meeting the growing demand for distinct living choices and superior service.”

Cortland, which employs over 950 associates in eight states and is the only institutionally scaled, multifamily value-add enterprise in the country, began as a developer and still pursues development opportunities. Yet, the company has shifted its primary focus in recent years, using its development expertise to revitalize already existing communities in order to deliver a higher quality product for a better living experience.
