DBRS, Inc. (DBRS Morningstar) assigned a rating of A (high) (sf) with a Stable trend to the 3.90% Mortgage Loan Maturing September 1, 2022 (the Mortgage Loan), made to John Hancock Bay Indies MHC.

The Mortgage Loan is secured by Bay Indies, a 1,309-unit Class A manufactured housing community (MHC) located in Venice, Florida. The A (high) (sf) rating reflects: (1) the expected stability of debt payments, given strong operating history and institutional sponsorship; (2) a moderate loan-to-value ratio; (3) the property’s strong location in a well-established community with demand for highly amenitized MHCs; and (4) the expected partial amortization that will take place over the remaining term of the loan.
