    S&P And DBRS Morningstar Downgrade 1740 Broadway Bonds To Junk

    August 27, 2024


    What’s going on here?

    S&P and DBRS Morningstar just downgraded bonds for New York City’s 1740 Broadway to junk status, marking the first AAA-rated bond loss since 2008.

    What does this mean?

    The downgrades are a major blow for investors who thought they were buying safe, top-rated bonds. Trouble began when Blackstone Group ditched the property in March 2022 after anchor tenant L Brands moved out. Failed sale attempts and delayed appraisals kept the building’s valuation unrealistically high, and the Fed’s interest rate hikes only worsened the situation. An independent appraisal in July 2023 valued the building at $175 million—far below what bondholders were owed—leading to the downgrade. Those holding the ‘safest’ tranche faced a 26% loss on their $157.5 million investment.

    Why should I care?

    For markets: When safety nets fail.

    The downgrades cast doubt on the reliability of credit ratings, echoing concerns from the 2008 financial crisis. Critics worry that other bonds could face similar downgrades, risking billions in delays. This scenario questions how well top-rated bonds can handle market and economic pressures.

    The bigger picture: A ripple of mistrust ahead.

    This could erode trust in the broader financial market, highlighting flaws in how commercial real estate is appraised and valued, especially during economic stress. If credit rating agencies don’t improve timeliness and accuracy, investors might start doubting the safety of their investments across various sectors.
