The collateral for the transaction is a $1.035 billion non-recourse, first lien mortgage loan that is expected to be originated by Goldman Sachs Bank USA on or about August 23, 2023. The fixed rate loan has a three-year term and requires monthly interest-only payments based on an assumed fixed rate of 5.38%. There is also expected to be a $150.0 million mezzanine loan. The mortgage loan will be secured by the borrower's fee simple interests in 12 industrial assets which are 100.0% leased to Amazon.com Services LLC and guaranteed by Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN), a High Quality Credit Worthy Tenant (HQCWT), on a NNN basis. The transaction has a remaining portfolio weighted average lease term of 14.2 years, approximately 11 years past loan maturity. The properties total approximately 8.9 million sf and are located in nine different secondary and tertiary MSAs across 10 states, with five state exposures each representing more than 10.0% of the pool balance: New Mexico (20.6%), Ohio (14.7%), North Dakota (11.7%), Alabama (10.1%), and Washington (10.0%). The assets were recently built between 2020 and 2022 and represent a variety of different Amazon facilities including sortation, cross-dock, and Amazon robotics facilities.
