FAIRFAX, VA-The $21 million B-note for 50 West Corporate Center has made the list of Trepp's top 5 CMBS defaults for July.

Fifty West Corporate Center is a five-story, 203,388-square foot office building whose note went into special servicing in July 2012 and returned in May 2013 with a prolonged maturity, adjusted rate, and brand new hope note of $56 million that was split into two pieces with a $21 million B-note, according to Trepp.

Financials did initially turn a corner at that point, with a jump in DSCR from 0.47 to 1.53 between 2012 and 2013. But occupancy never exceeded 82% and the property was carrying an appraisal of $31.2 million, down from $69.5 million at securitization.

Last month the A-note was paid off in full while the B-note took a 100% loss, Trepp's Sean Barrie tells GlobeSt.com.

The good news, for the region at least, is that the loss is not particularly telling about problems in the DC area region. “It's a simliar story for a lot of suburban office buildings.”
