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.

Office carries Denver's distress, even as the filed record eases
Denver's CMBS book runs to $1.8 billion across 96 loans, and the weight sits in office. At $493 million it is both the largest slice of the metro and the most troubled, with a distress rate of 29.2% against an 11.1% national mark for the sector — nearly three times the country's reading. That is the concentration desks will watch here: the biggest exposure and the worst-performing one are the same book.
The filed record, though, is moving the other way. Distress stands at 17.4% as of July 2026 and has been easing, with a metro median DSCR of 1.73 still giving most of the book room to cover debt service. Retail and self-storage show no distress on the tape, and the hardest maturity wall is still out ahead — $426 million comes due in 2029, the heaviest single year, with the 2030 vintage carrying the higher distress reading at 35.6%.
On the ground, the past year brought 38 distress events touching 2,031 jobs, split between store closures and layoff notices, with metro unemployment at 4.6% in August 2026, up 0.8 point year over year. The signal is a cooling but still office-heavy credit picture: the filed numbers are coming down, but the sector doing the damage is also the one Denver has the most of.

How much CRE distress is there in Denver-Aurora-Centennial, CO right now?
Denver-Aurora-Centennial, CO is showing broad-based CRE distress right now: all four of the independent feeds read elevated, and all 6 pairs of legs agree hot, with 0 pairs quiet and 0 pairs disagreeing. Store closures run at 2.02 per 100,000 jobs (28 closures, 17th of 392 metros by count but 166th by rate), while WARN layoff notices run at 0.14% of employment (22 notices, 30th of 386 by count, 146th by rate). Bank CRE over the noncurrent line sits at 9.75% of the book ($2,335.3mm allocated by branch deposits, 25th of 393 by count, 68th by rate), and securitized loans in special servicing run at 18.94% of the trust slice read here (12 rows, 14th of 335 by count, 23rd by rate) — note the bank leg's allocation caveat that only 7.3% of its dollars sit at single-metro lenders, so the rest is split by branch deposits the call report can't confirm.

4 of four legs elevated
one metro, four independent feeds, each on its own denominator
114 of 441 metros have at least one blind leg and 48 are blind on all four. Those 48 are the same metros the board's map cannot place and the metro resolver cannot name: one ZIP-to-CBSA crosswalk boundary, showing up three ways.
Elevation is computed on the COUNT, over a flat threshold, which is a size filter. New York is 2nd of 392 by store closures and 264th of the same 392 by closures per job — both true, and which one you lead with decides what the reader believes.
Where two legs disagree, that is usually a fact about WHICH mechanism is running, not an error in either feed and not a worse metro.
A leg with no denominator, or whose numerator cannot be measured, reads LOW and means nothing. Each leg publishes a measurement state (allocated, floor, measured, no denominator, no rate, not measurable) for that reason.
Store closures: divided by 1,387,005 jobs
— all metro jobs, QCEW annual average — a SIZE normaliser, not a matched population: the feed spans retail, food service and pharmacy and no single QCEW sector covers it. The MATCHED read sits beside it as this leg's second reading (trailing 365 days to today).
Layoff notices (WARN): divided by 1,668,733 employed
— employed persons, BLS LAUS, not seasonally adjusted (trailing 365 days to today).
Bank CRE at lenders over the noncurrent line: divided by $23,959.9 mm
— bank CRE allocated to this metro by branch deposits (2026-03-31).
Securitized loans in special servicing: divided by $1,827.0 mm

Which distress signals are elevated in Denver-Aurora-Centennial, CO, and which cannot be read?
In Denver-Aurora-Centennial, CO, the elevated distress signals are bank-distressed CRE, CMBS special servicing, store closures, and WARN notices. Specifically, bank-distressed CRE is at “$2.34bn” (with a 90th-percentile at-risk share of “31.6%”), CMBS special-servicing UPB is “$346.0mm” (18.9% of metro UPB), and there are 12 CMBS loans in special servicing, 28 store closures, and 22 WARN notices over the past year. However, the bank-level distress signal cannot be read: the reading on distressed bank assets is “0”, and the count of distressed banks is likewise unavailable beyond that zero figure, with the bank CRE allocation share at “7.3%” but no explicit elevated bank-failure metric provided.

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.

Sector Heat — CMBS distress rate by property type (metro vs national)See the loans behind the bar →
This metro's CMBS runs 15.0% distressed where its own property mix predicts 6.5% — $153M more 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. 1 of 3 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.

Maturity Wall — CMBS coming due by year, distress within eachSee what’s maturing →
$591M — 33% of the metro's balance — matures within two years; the red slice of each bar is already distressed.
Distress Trend — is this market turning?Track it quarter by quarter →
Realized distress is FALLING — 17.4% now (2026-07), -1.2pp 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.

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 $271M of construction committed and not yet
advanced, of which $171M
comes out of the room above, leaving $284M,
with 11 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 $101M 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 21
are past it on drawn balances alone, and
5 more cross it
once their own commitments fund.

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 2026) — 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 —
315 banks holding $263.8B 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 Denver-Aurora-Centennial, CO have the capacity to refinance its maturing CRE?
Denver-Aurora-Centennial's $591.5mm of maturing CMBS debt across 37 loans compares against $283.8mm of regional and community bank room remaining after committed draws, a wall-to-room ratio of 2.08 that ranks 37 of 275 metros most strained—yet the strain reading is best treated as an exclusion artifact rather than evidence of scarce credit, since 24 banks are excluded here against 21 qualifying, leaving the metro's lending capacity largely invisible to this read; the maturing balance is also only the CMBS the platform can see, not the metro's whole maturity load.

2.08 is ABOVE the median of 0.24, so this metro is MORE strained than the typical ranked metro
37 of 275, counting from the MOST strained — a LOWER rank number means MORE strain
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.
The most extreme ratios belong to the smallest metros.
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.
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.
exclusion, not scarcity — More banks are excluded here (24) than qualify (21). This metro's ratio is an artifact of who this read can see, not evidence that credit is scarce.

What has actually happened on the ground in Denver-Aurora-Centennial, CO recently?
Over the trailing 365 days, the Denver-Aurora-Centennial, CO metro has seen 22 store closures and 16 WARN notices, with 2,031 jobs affected — a figure that is a floor, since notices stating no headcount contribute nothing — alongside 0 CRE-likely bankruptcies, though that bankruptcy reading is a STATE PROXY and not a metro-native count.

- Jobs on those notices

STATE PROXY — a court case counts in its filing district and an SEC 8-K in the filer's state, not where the property is, so this counts CRE-likely filings in the states this metro's collateral sits in. It is not a metro-native count. Each court case is counted once even when both PACER and CourtListener carry it. A court case's state is its filing district; an SEC 8-K or news item carries the filer's state. Coverage widened to both court feeds on 2026-09-16, so counts before and after that date are not comparable.
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').

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.

One metro · one moment · you come looking.

Every metro · every month · it comes looking for you.
CMBS covers the securitized slice of CRE; bank, closure and layoff signals widen the view.
“No data” in a zone means we don’t observe it here, not that there is no stress.
Employment is BLS (QCEW annual, LAUS monthly) — public data, and the demand leg under all of it.
See the whole picture, not just the pulse.
Metro Pulse is the free, public read — one page for every market we cover. The platform goes loan‑by‑loan inside it: which buildings carry the stress, when their debt comes due, and your own portfolio benchmarked against the market you are standing in.
