76% Office CMBS Loans Will Struggle to Refi in 2024 

In 2024, the office market faces challenges as loans mature, hindering refinancing. Moody’s Analytics forecasted $182 billion in maturing commercial real estate loans, $47 billion specifically in office loans.  

According to Moody’s assessment of CMBS office loans, around 76% face a considerable risk of being unrefinanced in 2024. This evaluation factored in various elements, including lease rollover, loans undergoing special servicing, and the debt yield of each loan to arrive at its estimations.

Trends suggest smaller loans and stable tenancies fare better. Yet, the pandemic’s legacy persists as companies downsize or relocate, raising lease renewal risks. Moody’s predicts a high risk of unrefinanced office loans in 2024 due to lease turnovers and existing loan conditions.
