CMBS loan maturities are becoming one of the most important stress points in commercial real estate and many borrowers still aren’t prepared for what’s ahead.
In this episode of Debt Doctor, I sit down with debt resolution expert Michael Cohen to break down what’s really happening inside today’s CMBS market. We talk candidly about price discovery, special servicing dynamics, and why proactive borrower strategy matters more now than at any point in the cycle.
As CMBS loan maturities stack up across office, multifamily, and mixed-use assets, the margin for error is shrinking. Discounted payoffs remain rare, private credit is abundant but complex, and special servicers are under increasing pressure to move loans forward — not wait.
This conversation is a clear-eyed look at how borrowers should be thinking about communication, preparation, and optionality as the CMBS landscape continues to evolve.
