Thanks for your submission!

r/WallStreetBets is known for making absurd but sometimes profitable trades that no one ever considered possible.

To keep making that possible, we need your help in keeping the feed of threads interesting and exciting.

We try to move all the short and basic questions, analysis, or jokes to the daily thread so that the best quality content can stick around and be more visible.

This is definitely a bit subjective, and there are no hard and fast rules, but a few indicators that your post should have really been a comment in the daily thread include:

  • Asking a question that is easily googleable or has likely been asked before. E.g. "What app should I use?", "What should I invest in?".

  • Beating a meme to death, like the 10 millionth, "inverse cramer" joke again.

  • Reposting jokes from the front page but slightly altered to be related to trading.

All that being said, we are here to help. We want to make it as easy as possible for you to post to our community. We have to balance this with making the subreddit interesting for our readers.

If you need some guidance, don't hesitate to reach out to modmail and we'll give you some pointers!

Market moves in waves, market makers have already decided the levels, all this war, pandemic and interest rate hikes are just catalysts to take it to the levels they want .... But yes, this could take a while to stabilize and if you look back these cycles repeat themselves....

>No, it won't last forever. But it will probably stick around for quite a while. The rich will continue to get richer and the poor will continue to struggle. That's just the way things are going right now.

Reply to Pimco-Owned Office Landlord Defaults on $1.7 Billion Mortgage by downboat

Article:

An office landlord controlled by Pacific Investment Management Co. has defaulted on about $1.7 billion of mortgage notes on seven buildings, a sign of widening pain for the industry as property values fall and rising interest rates squeeze borrowers.

The buildings — in San Francisco, New York, Boston and Jersey City, New Jersey — are owned by Columbia Property Trust, which was acquired in 2021 for $3.9 billion by funds managed by Pimco. The mortgages have floating-rate debt, which led to rising monthly payments as interest rates soared last year.

“We, like most office owners, are addressing the unique and unprecedented challenges currently facing our asset class and customer base,” Justina Lombardo, a spokesperson for Columbia Property Trust, said in an emailed statement. “We have engaged with our lenders on a restructuring of our loan on seven properties within our larger national portfolio. We look forward to a collaborative process yielding thoughtful solutions that reflect current market conditions and best serve the interests of all stakeholders.”

Pimco declined to comment.

A San Francisco building at 650 California St., built in 1964, is the most valuable property in the portfolio at $479 million, according to 2021 figures. Other properties include 229 W. 43rd St., 245-249 W. 17th St. and 315 Park Ave. South in Manhattan, 201 California St. in San Francisco, 116 Huntington Ave. in Boston and 95 Christopher Columbus Drive in Jersey City.

relates to Pimco-Owned Office Landlord Defaults on $1.7 Billion Mortgage 315 Park Ave. South in New York.Photographer: Eric Laignel/BussinessWire US offices, particularly older buildings with fewer amenities, have struggled in recent years with the rise of remote work during the pandemic and recent layoffs. Values of those properties have fallen 20% since the onset of the pandemic in March 2020, according to Green Street.

Landlords including Brookfield Corp. have defaulted on office mortgage payments. In some cases, the owners have considered walking away from the properties rather than continuing to pour money into them. Still, the delinquency rate for commercial mortgage-backed securities for offices is still relatively low, at just 1.83% in January, according to Trepp.

The seven buildings owned by Columbia Property Trust were appraised at $2.27 billion in 2021, according to loan documents on a $485 million CMBS that financed part of the debt. Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Citigroup Inc. and Deutsche Bank AG funded the original debt of almost $1.9 billion.

Representatives for Goldman and Deutsche Bank declined to comment. A spokesperson for Citigroup didn’t immediately reply to requests for comment.
