OREANDA-NEWS. Fitch Ratings has affirmed 14 classes of J. P. Morgan Chase Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust commercial mortgage pass-through certificates series 2014-C22 (JPMBB 2014-C22). A detailed list of rating actions follows at the end of this press release.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

The affirmations of JPMBB 2014-C22 are based on the stable performance of the underlying collateral. There has been no material change to the transaction's performance since issuance. As of the July 2016 distribution date, the pool's aggregate principal balance has been reduced by 1.3% since issuance and remained relatively flat at $1.1 billion. The pool has experienced no realized losses to date. No loans have been in special servicing since issuance, and none are defeased.

Fitch has designated three (3.4%) Fitch Loans of Concern (FLOC), primarily due to upcoming tenant rollover risk. Each of the three loans are on the master servicer's watchlist; an additional six loans, 6.1 %, are also on the master servicer's watchlist for damages noted in the most recent inspections or failure to meet a performance threshold set by the servicer. However, these loans are performing in line with Fitch's expectations. 12.9% of the pool is full-term interest-only, and 59% of the pool is partial term interest-only.

The largest loan (8.1% of the pool) is secured by a two-building office complex consisting of 1,032,402 square feet (sf) located in Long Island City, NY. As of year-end (YE) 2015 the properties were 100% occupied, primarily by various New York agencies (rated 'AA' by Fitch). There is minimal rollover over the next two years (less than 0.5% total) and no rollover until 2019 when 11% of the NRA expires. The largest concentration of lease rollover is in 2020 with 32.4%. The loan is interest-only until 2019 and matures in July 2024.

The second largest loan (6.9%) is secured by a 421,719-sf, 15-story office building located in East Rutherford, NJ. Per the March 2016 rent roll, the property was 92.5% compared with 100% at issuance and 95.4% at YE 2015. The property is occupied by over 20 tenants representing a variety of industries. 9.1% of net rentable area (NRA) is scheduled to rollover in 2016. The largest concentration of lease rollover is in 2020 with approximately 30%. The loan is full term interest-only and matures in July 2024.

The largest FLOC (1.8% of the pool) is secured by a portfolio of three office buildings (110,104 sf) located in Needham and Newton, MA. Per the May 2016 rent roll, the portfolio was 98.5% occupied. Largest tenants include Dialogic Corporation, Inflexxion, Inc. and Caris Diagnostics, Inc. Two tenants, Dialogic Corporation (25% NRA), and Affiliated Physicians Group (7% NRA), representing a total of 32% of NRA are not expected to renew their leases after their 2016 expirations. Fitch's analysis included stresses on the existing net cash flow which assumed additional vacancy. The loan is interest-only until 2019 and matures in July 2024.

The two remaining FLOCs include a 29,715 sf mixed use property located in San Francisco, CA (1.2%) and a 117 room extended stay hotel located South Bend, IN (0.4%). The larger of the two is on the watchlist due to the loss of two tenants in early 2016 (42% of NRA). The other loan is on the watchlist due to declines in performance. As of YE 2015 and YTD March 2016, the servicer-reported DSCR was 0.85x and 0.48x, respectively.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

The Rating Outlooks remain Stable for all classes. Rating Outlooks on classes A-1 through E remain Stable due to the overall stable performance of the pool. Downgrades are possible with significant performance decline. Upgrades, while not likely in the near term, are possible with increased credit enhancement and overall improved pool performance.
