The CMBS properties our stress model flags here, plus recent store closures and layoffs. Stressed is a wider net than distressed — the distressed figure above counts only loans already in special servicing or 60+ days delinquent, while these dots also include performing loans facing maturity or coverage pressure. Property dots sit at the center of their ZIP code, not the building — they show where stress concentrates, not which asset. Closures and layoffs are pinned to address where we have it.

Retail Runs Hot in New York While the Filed Record Holds Its Line
New York-Newark-Jersey City carries $57.6 billion of CMBS across 2,458 loans, and the sharpest sector story sits in retail: a 5.2% distress rate, twice the 2.7% national mark. Office remains the largest book at $17.1 billion and runs an 11.5% distress rate, roughly in line with the 11.3% national figure. Multifamily, at a $12.1 billion book, holds a 4.5% rate that undercuts the 7.6% national reading, and hospitality — a smaller $2.4 billion — sits at 1.3% against 6.1% nationally. The retail read is the one that stands out against its own peer benchmark.
The metro's overall distress rate is flat in the filed record, 6.7% as of July 2026, with median DSCR at 1.24. The heaviest maturity load lands in 2029, when $14.3 billion comes due at a 4.1% distress rate; nearer in, 2027 carries $7.6 billion at a far hotter 17.6%. Across the total book, distress stands at 6.5% on $3.7 billion, with $13.2 billion maturing inside 24 months.
On the ground, the past year brought 334 distress events tied to 24,494 jobs — the tally spanning store closures and layoff notices across the metro. Local unemployment reads 4.3% as of July 2026, down 1.1 points year over year. Of 87 banks tracked here, 14 register as distressed and another 13 sit in early-warning territory.

How much CRE distress is there in New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ right now?
New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ is showing across-the-board CRE distress, with all four independent signals elevated: 89 store closures (a rate of 1.08 per 100,000 jobs), 229 WARN layoff notices, $48,092.8mm of bank CRE over the noncurrent line, and 109 securitized loans in special servicing. All six pairs of signals agree—6 pairs both elevated, 0 quiet, 0 disagreeing. The closures reading is elevated by size, not by rate (rank 2 of 392 by count but 262nd by rate), reflecting the metro's scale rather than per-unit stress. Distress here is pervasive across all mechanisms measured, from retail closures to lender balance sheets to securitized paper.

Which distress signals are elevated in New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ, and which cannot be read?
In New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ, the elevated distress signals are bank-distressed CRE, CMBS special servicing, store closures, and WARN notices. Specifically, the bank-distressed CRE reading is at $48.09bn, while the CMBS special-servicing UPB sits at $3.69bn, representing a 6.5% share of metro UPB; store closures (89) and WARN notices (229) also register as elevated. On the credit side, the bank CRE at-risk (90th percentile) is 31.9%, with distressed bank assets at 113.1 and a bank CRE allocation of 22.2%. The reading for the "convergence" indicator is 4, signaling confirmed peak phase. As for what cannot be read, the data do not provide a measure of the 90th percentile for the CMBS special-servicing UPB share or any other distressed-signal metric beyond those listed; for those, the reading is unavailable.

Jobs & Demand — the labor market under the collateralWatch it change →
Every other zone on this page reads the credit — what the loan is doing.
This one reads the demand underneath it. Office jobs pay office rent;
office rent services the office loan. When the jobs go, the DSCR follows — but not for another year or two.
That lag is the whole point of looking here.

Monthly metro unemployment (BLS LAUS) — the freshest labor signal there is,
about six weeks behind. Read the direction, not the level: a 4% metro that is rising and a 6% metro that is
falling are not telling you the same thing.
Jobs by CRE-relevant sector · 2024
Annual employment by sector (BLS QCEW, 2024; 8,254,312 jobs in the metro).
QCEW lags — it is the structural read, not the current one, and we pair it with the monthly unemployment above on purpose.
Office-using sums five supersectors; where BLS withholds any one of them for
disclosure, we show nothing rather than a number we know is too low — so a missing sector here means
“suppressed at the source,” not “zero.”
Sector Heat — CMBS distress rate by property type (metro vs national)See the loans behind the bar →
This metro's CMBS runs 6.5% distressed where its own property mix predicts 7.6% — $628M less than this book would carry at the rate each property type runs elsewhere in the country, dollar-weighted and excluding this metro. The gap is measured; the cause is not. 3 of 7 property types here run a higher distress rate than the national average for that type (the tick on each bar).
Elimination — does the gap survive a control?
Each row re-prices this metro's book on a finer cell — its own property types, then those types split by loan size, then by vintage — always at the rate that cell runs elsewhere in the country, dollar-weighted. A gap that shrinks toward zero is explained by the control; one that stays has ruled it out. What is measured is what survives, not a cause.

Distress Trend — is this market turning?Track it quarter by quarter →
Realized distress is FLAT — 6.7% now (2026-07), -0.9pp over the year.
Same definition as the cards above — distressed means in special servicing or 60+ days delinquent, dollar-weighted — on a different clock. The cards are today’s tape; this is the disclosed history panel, quarter by quarter, so you can read direction rather than level. Trusts file monthly, so a quarter is usually well covered within weeks of opening and the newest one shown is normally the current one; it is withheld only when its filed book falls below 60% of recent quarters.
Share of the metro’s CMBS in special servicing or 60+ days delinquent, by quarter — a firmer, backward-looking read. A loan under 1.0x DSCR that is still paying is not counted here.

$13.2B of CMBS matures here within two years.
The 78 regional and local banks that gather deposits here could write roughly
$13.5B more CRE before the 300% supervisory line, so the maturing balance is
0.98× that room.
The median metro sits at 0.12×.

The room above is already part-sold. Construction lending is a promise drawn
down over two or three years, and the undrawn part is an obligation the bank cannot decline while the borrower performs
— every one of those dollars lands in the same CRE book the 300% line governs. These banks
have $7.7B of construction committed and not yet
advanced, of which $2.0B
comes out of the room above, leaving $11.2B,
with 44 banks
whose entire remaining room is spoken for.
A bank with no room contributes zero here, never a negative one — capacity does not net
across balance sheets — so $5.7B of what has
been promised is not deducted at all, because there is nothing left to deduct it from. On today’s
capital that is funding already contracted which would cross the line as it draws.
SR 06-26 draws a second line at 100% of capital for construction and land:
3 of 78
are past it on drawn balances alone, and
10 more cross it
once their own commitments fund.
2% of the room above sits at banks we could not
match to a commitment filing; they are left out of this deduction rather than assumed to have promised nothing.

The large figure is supervisory CRE over total risk-based capital —
construction, multifamily and non-owner-occupied nonfarm nonresidential. That is the book SR 06-26 draws its
300% line against, and it is what the red coloring and the room contributed are both measured on.
Total beneath it adds owner-occupied CRE — lending to a business on
its own premises — which the guidance deliberately leaves out. A bank can sit well above 300% on total CRE and
still be inside the line, with real room to lend; both are shown so the gap is visible rather than surprising.
How to read this. It is not whether any particular loan can refinance — a borrower also reaches
national banks, life companies, agencies and debt funds. It is how much of this metro’s maturing volume the local
bank sector could absorb if it were the only door.
Banks are placed by deposit share (FDIC Summary of Deposits, June 2025) — a proxy for
where they lend, not a measurement; call reports carry no collateral geography. Room = 3× total risk-based capital less CRE held
(SR 06-26, the capital base the rule names — not book equity), from Q2 2026 call reports, apportioned by that share.
Committed construction comes from FFIEC Schedule RC-L as filed at 2026-06-30 —
the undrawn half of loans already written, which the balance sheet above does not show.
Banks in more than 5 states, single-branch bookers and banks that do not lend CRE are excluded —
313 banks holding $268.2B of national capacity not counted here.

Banks are matched to their HQ metro (a proxy for footprint). Noncurrent CRE = CRE-balance-weighted blend of multifamily / nonresidential / construction noncurrent (distress already arrived). Early Warning is a validated leading signal — the bank’s 30-89 early-delinquency rank among all CRE lenders this quarter, which has predicted ~2.3× forward CRE distress. Per-bank flags are on a plan.
Do the banks lending in New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ have the capacity to refinance its maturing CRE?
For New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ, the CMBS wall maturing within 24 months stands at $13.15bn across 420 loans against regional and community bank room of $11.24bn after committed draws, a wall-to-room reading of 1.17 — above the median of 0.20 and ranked 50 of 270, counting from the most strained — while before committed draws the room is $13.45bn and the ratio 0.98; note that this compares only against 78 qualifying banks with 24 excluded here, so the room is a proxy built on deposit footprint rather than a measurement of lending, and the wall itself is the CMBS balance this platform can see rather than the metro's whole maturity load.

Compared against a median wall-to-room ratio of
0.20 across the ranked metros.
1.17 is ABOVE the median of 0.20, so this metro is MORE strained than the typical ranked metro
50 of 270, counting from the MOST strained — a LOWER rank number means MORE strain
{'room_is_a_proxy': 'Room is what regional and community banks could still write before the SR 06-26 concentration line, after deducting construction draws already committed. Deposit footprint is a proxy for lending footprint, not a measurement of it.', 'ratio_is_not_size': 'The most extreme ratios belong to the smallest metros. Read maturing_bal_mm beside the ratio — the map sizes bubbles by the wall, not the strain, for exactly this reason.', 'wall_is_cmbs_only': "The wall is the CMBS balance maturing within 24 months — the maturing debt this platform can see, not the metro's whole maturity load. Every ratio is an upper bound on how much of it local banks would have to absorb.", 'exclusion_artifact': 'A high ratio is as often an exclusion artifact as a credit event. Banks whose deposits do not indicate where they lend (nationals, card and charter banks) are excluded from the room, so a metro served mainly by those reads strained while its credit is simply invisible here. Check banks_qualifying against banks_excluded_here, and explained_by_exclusion.'}

What has actually happened on the ground in New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ recently?
Over the trailing 365-day window in New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ, the ground-level readings show 206 WARN notices and 128 store closures, with 24,494 jobs affected — though that jobs figure is a floor, since affected_employees is nullable and notices that state no headcount are counted but contribute 0 jobs. On the commercial-real-estate side, the CRE bankruptcy reading is 0, but that comes with a caveat: it is a STATE PROXY — bankruptcy filings carry the filer's state, not the property's location, so this counts CRE-likely filings in the states this metro's collateral sits in. It is not a metro-native count.
The figures behind this answer
- Store closures
- 128
- WARN layoff notices
- 206
- Jobs on those notices
- 24,494
- CRE-related bankruptcies

STATE PROXY — bankruptcy filings carry the filer's state, not the property's location, so this counts CRE-likely filings in the states this metro's collateral sits in. It is not a metro-native count.
affected_employees is nullable — notices that state no headcount are counted but contribute 0 jobs, so this is a floor.
Closures are matched ZIP -> CBSA and only APPROVED rows count (a pending, machine-extracted row is not yet a closure). This mirrors the Metro Pulse page, not the convergence board — the board applies neither filter and counts higher. Layoffs take the same ZIP -> CBSA and review treatment, and a WARN notice counts if it affects >= 10 people or does not state a headcount (a NULL is not 'fewer than 10').

What this page can’t do
Everything above is a snapshot — one market, as it stands today, and
it’s yours to read. What a snapshot can’t tell you is when it moves: which loan slipped a DSCR band
this month, which bank’s early-warning rank crossed into the top quartile, which submarket started turning
while the headline number still looked fine. Distress doesn’t announce itself on the day you happen to check.
