Commercial Mortgages
September 18, 2019

DBRS Limited (DBRS) confirmed the rating of AA (high) with a Stable Trend on the Mortgage Loan No. 814650.1 (the Mortgage Loan) made to South Block (Concert) Ltd. and Jawl Precinct Lands Corporation (collectively, the Borrowers) by a major Canadian financial institution (the Lender).

The loan is secured by a recently built office building located at 525 Superior Street, Victoria, British Columbia. DBRS’s current rating of the Mortgage Loan reflects the flow-through rating of a credit tenant (the Tenant) who occupies 99.0% of the total net rentable area and whose lease is co-terminus with the fully amortizing loan term with no rights to early termination. The cash flows from the Tenant’s lease are sufficient to cover the financial obligations from the Borrowers with respect to the Mortgage Loan. It should be noted that any change to the rating of the Tenant during the loan term is expected to have an effect on the rating of the Mortgage Loan.

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