The key characteristics of the mortgage loan collateral supporting MSCI 2014-150E are:
- A single fixed-rate, 10-year mortgage loan secured by the borrower's leasehold interest in 150 E. 42nd St. in the Grand Central submarket of New York. Improvements on the land consist of a 42-story, 1.7-million-square-foot Class A office property located directly across from Grand Central Terminal;
- The principal balance of the mortgage loan, which is collateral for the trust, is $525.0 million; and
- The transaction includes subordinate debt in the form of a $175.0 million mezzanine loan, which also has a 10-year term.
Based on information provided on the arranger's website, Morningstar's analysis of the loan yielded the following Morningstar metrics:
- A net cash flow (NCF) of $43.2 million, which is lower than the arranger's NCF by 14.30 percent;
- The Morningstar interest-only debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) is 1.91x, based on the actual interest rate of 4.29 percent;
- Using the capitalization rate of 6.50 percent, Morningstar valued the term value and balloon value of the property at $658.4 million and $630.4 million, respectively;
- The Morningstar values, which equate to $384 per square foot for term value and $368 per square foot for balloon value, are 26.80 percent and 30.00 percent lower, respectively, than the appraised value of $900.0 million; and
- The Morningstar values resulted in a beginning term loan/value (LTV) ratio of 79.00 percent and a balloon LTV ratio of 83.20 percent for the first mortgage loan.
