KBRA is pleased to announce the assignment of preliminary ratings to four classes of BX 2026-PURE5, a Canadian CMBS single-borrower securitization. The collateral for the transaction is a CAD 515.0 million interest-only mortgage loan comprising a CAD 386.2 million fixed rate component and a CAD 128.8 million floating rate component. The loan is secured by the borrowers’ fee simple interests in 21 industrial assets totaling 2.9 million sf. The properties are located in Ontario (77.9%) and Quebec (22.1%). As of September 2026, the portfolio was 88.7% leased to 78 tenants.

KBRA’s analysis of the transaction included a detailed evaluation of the properties' cash flows using our North American CMBS Property Evaluation Methodology and the application of our North American CMBS Single Borrower & Large Loan Rating Methodology. In addition, KBRA also relied on its Global Structured Finance Counterparty Methodology, to the extent deemed applicable.

The results of our analysis yielded a KBRA net cash flow (KNCF) of approximately $36.3 million, which is 10.4% below the issuer’s NCF, and a KBRA value of approximately $534.5 million, which is 32.9% below the appraised as-is value. The resulting in-trust KBRA Loan to Value (KLTV) is 96.4%. In our analysis of the transaction, we also reviewed and considered third party engineering, environmental, and appraisal reports, the results of our site inspections of six properties, and legal documentation.
