7 - Capital One Bank (edit) (deal info) 8/4/20 - Had a call with credit this morning on a premier office building in DC, 90% occupancy and basically no roll for 7 years and I could not get approval. That being said, I don't think I can be there for you. Sorry, everyone is concerned about COVID and the state of the office market going forward.
8 - Citigroup (edit) (deal info) 3/27/20 - Do not have balance sheet capital
9 - Citizens Bank (edit) (deal info) 7/9/20 - Certainly have an interest, however, we are only pursuing credit tenant deals at the moment. We expect our strike zone to expand in the coming weeks. I will follow up if/when things change on our end. Comment from 6/9/20

12 - Fulton Bank (edit) (deal info) 7/9/20 - Major concerns are the age of both buildings and the rollover risk in the next couple of years (2022 I believe) vs. the new product coming online. For this reason, I’m a “pass” on this one. My penciled in loan amount was significantly below your ask. We would also be looking for some level of recourse.

28 - Principal Financial Group (edit) (deal info) 8/4/20 - Focus is on higher quality buildings with LEED certification and modern ventilation systems. I think the market is still trying to figure out the future of office as it relates to space usage and ventilation requirements. To get any traction on ‘B’ assets we’ll need to be no greater than 55% LTV on our valuation and have a 25-year maximum amortization. Very focused on rapid amortization.

37 - Webster Bank (edit) (deal info) 8/4/20 - Not active at the present time
38 - Wells Fargo Bank (edit) (deal info) 4/3/20 - This is a massive cash-out request, which in this market is likely not going to be received well at all.
I would recommend, given the market chaos that exists today, that the sponsorship wait until the markets settle down, since they don’t have to pay-off until November 2021.
Current pricing and leverage (i.e. low) is ugly at the moment.
