OREANDA-NEWS. Fitch Ratings has affirmed four classes of COMM Mortgage Trust 2005-FL10. A detailed list of rating actions follows at the end of this release.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

As of the July 2015 remittance, the pool has paid down by 98% since issuance, with only one asset remaining.

The affirmations of the distressed ratings are due to exceptionally high credit risk associated with the remaining asset, Berkshire Mall. The mall comprises 589,146 square feet (sf) of a 715,146-sf regional mall located in Lanesboro, MA, about 40 miles east of Albany, NY. The collateral consists of 192,793 sf of in-line space and 396,353 sf of anchor/major tenant space. The non-collateral anchor space (Target) totals approximately 126,000 sf.

The mall continues to face significant challenges related to trade area fundamentals, tenant retention and capital expenditure needs which will ultimately affect investor interest and the long-term viability of the asset. The immediate trade area for the subject property is considered rural and tertiary in nature and is confronting declining population trends with incomes below state and national levels. The servicer has successfully renewed the theater tenant through 2025 and leased large-format space to local retailers on a short-term basis; however, tenant retention remains a looming challenge with significant rollover in the next few years. Approximately 85% of leases expire through 2018. The asset will eventually require additional capital expenditures and cosmetic renovation to remain competitive in the market.

As of March 2015, the mall was 90% occupied, an improvement from 73% in 2014. The loan transferred to special servicing in January 2014 due to the imminent expiration of the forbearance agreement. A deed-in-lieu of foreclosure was executed in June of 2014 and the asset remains real estate owned. The mall is being managed and leased by CBL & Associates Properties, which specializes in new development and repositioning of distressed properties.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

The ratings of the remaining distressed classes (those rated below 'Bsf') are subject to further downgrade with the loss of any major tenant coupled with a prolonged hold period prior to disposition. Fitch anticipates significant losses based on current valuations of the asset and uncertainty related to anchor tenant renewal and future stabilization of the asset.
