CMBS
August 14, 2019

DBRS, Inc. (DBRS) assigned a rating of AA with a Stable trend to the 4.50% Mortgage Loan Due September 1, 2028 (the Mortgage Loan), made to Fountainhead Owners Corporation.

The Mortgage Loan is secured by a 108-unit Class A co-operative (co-op) apartment building located at 1 and 2 Fountainhead Lane in Scarsdale, Westchester County, in New York. The AA rating reflects (1) the stability of debt payments provided by the co-op structure of ownership, in which share owners are highly incentivized to meet their share of the loan payments to protect their ownership interest in the co-op; (2) a low loan-to-value ratio; and (3) the approximately 14.13% amortization that will take place over the remaining term of the Mortgage Loan.

All ratings are subject to surveillance, which could result in ratings being upgraded, downgraded, placed under review, confirmed or discontinued by DBRS.
