TEXT-Fitch takes various actions on GCCFC 2006-FL4

Thu Jun 14, 2012 5:43pm EDT

June 14 - Fitch Ratings has downgraded five nonpooled classes, upgraded two
pooled classes, and affirmed 14 classes of Greenwich Capital Commercial Funding
Corporation (GCCFC), series 2006-FL4. Downgrades to the nonpooled classes
associated with the 260 East 161st Street and 2600 West Olive Avenue loans were
due to increased loss expectations on those loans. Upgrades to two of the senior
classes reflect higher credit enhancement levels due to principal paydown. A
detailed list of rating actions follows at the end of this press release.	
	
Under Fitch's methodology, approximately 70% of the pool is modeled to default 	
in the base case stress scenario, defined as the 'B' stress. In this scenario, 	
the modeled average cash flow decline is 14.4% from generally year-end 2011 	
servicer-reported financial data, or from recent appraised values. To determine 	
a sustainable Fitch cash flow and stressed value, Fitch analyzed 	
servicer-reported operating statements and rent rolls, updated property 	
valuations, and comparisons with properties' competitive sets. Fitch estimates 	
average recoveries on the pooled loans will be approximately 80% in the base 	
case.	
	
The transaction is collateralized by seven assets, which includes three loans 	
secured by hotels (68.3% of the pooled and nonpooled trust balance), two loans 	
by office properties (17.6%), one real estate owned (REO) regional mall (12.3%),	
and one loan by a multifamily/condominium project (1.8%). All of the original 	
final maturity dates, including all extension options, have passed. Each of the 	
remaining loans has been further extended through a modification and/or 	
forbearance, with the exception of one asset (12.3% by scheduled loan balance) 	
that has been REO since 2009. Of the remaining loans, 19.4% are scheduled to 	
mature in 2013, with 68.3% scheduled to mature in 2014.	
	
With respect to the pooled classes, four loans were modeled to take a loss in 	
the base case: PGA National Resort and Spa (33.8% of the pooled trust balance), 	
Northwest Plaza (11%), 260 East 161st Street (8.5%) and 2600 West Olive Avenue 	
(7%). The 10 junior non-pooled component classes have all either incurred or are	
expected to incur losses.	
	
The primary contributor to loss under the 'B' stress is the specially serviced 	
Northwest Plaza, an REO asset consisting of an approximately 1.7 million square 	
foot (sf) regional mall and an attached 12-story, 153,000 sf office building 	
located in St. Ann, MO. The loan transferred to special servicing in October 	
2008 for payment default and in September 2009, the property became REO. 	
Following a failed redevelopment effort, the interior of the mall was shuttered 	
in December 2010. The last information available on the property indicated that 	
the mall was only 8% occupied by several tenants with exterior access, with the 	
attached office building 49% occupied. Within the past 12 months, a new, local 	
broker was engaged to market and sell the property and it is now under contract 	
with closing slated for mid-July. However, Fitch modeled no recoveries on both 	
the pooled and nonpooled trust assets.
