Capital Shortfall: Is There Sufficient Senior Debt Financing? via Commercial Property Executive

Is there enough first-position debt capital to meet the needs of expiring commercial property loans in the next few years?

In the larger universe of non-bank lenders, Mortgage Bankers Association data shows mortgage expirations of $151 billion in 2012, dropping to $108 billion in 2013 and and $109 billion in 2014 before hitting $163 billion in 2015, $215 billion in 2016 and $199 billion in 2017 (see chart).

Regarding the supply of debt capital to refinance these loans, Jamie Woodwell, MBA vice president of commercial and multi-family research and economics, noted that lending sources increased their holdings by $8 billion to a total of $2.4 trillion in the first quarter, compared to the fourth quarter of 2011.
