Loan profile and property fundamentals

As reported by Morningstar DBRS, DBRS, Inc. assigns a credit rating of A (low) with a Stable trend to the 4.00% Mortgage Loan due March 1, 2055, made to Camelot at Perth Amboy.

The loan is secured by the fee-simple interest in a 117-unit garden-style multifamily property on a 3.57-acre site at 365 Lehigh Avenue in Perth Amboy, New Jersey. The asset sits about five miles west of Staten Island and around 30 miles southeast of New York City, with nearby residential development supported by retail and commercial corridors along New Brunswick Avenue, Amboy Avenue, and Smith Street.

Built in 2010, the property includes five three-story walk-up apartment buildings with attached garages. The unit mix consists of 45 one-bedroom apartments and 72 two-bedroom apartments, while interior features include hardwood floors, stainless-steel appliances, in-unit washers and dryers, walk-in closets, and private balconies or patios.

Cash flow metrics and market positioning

Morningstar DBRS says the rating reflects a loan-to-value ratio of 73.4%, based on its concluded property value of $19.2 million, along with strong operating performance and stable, predictable cash flow. The agency also cites a debt service coverage ratio of 1.7 times, a debt yield of 9.2%, and an amortizing structure with a current balance of $14.1 million as of May 2026.

As of the rent roll dated December 1, 2025, the property is reported to be 94.5% occupied. The rating agency also points to qualitative support from cash flow volatility, property quality, and market fundamentals, as well as the asset's access to the Perth Amboy commuter train station and surrounding road networks.
