New York-Newark-Jersey City carries $57.1B of CMBS across 2,408 loans, and the headline distress rate of 6.7% sits in a market where office — $17.2B of the book at a 10.9% distress rate — runs essentially in line with the 11.1% national office mark. The outlier is retail: at 5.6%, the metro's $7.5B retail book carries a distress rate more than double the 2.6% national figure, 2.2 times the national rate. Mixed-use, at 7.0%, also runs above its 5.4% national comp, while multifamily at 4.6% sits well under the 7.9% national read.
The maturity wall is loaded toward the end of the decade. The heaviest single year lands in 2029, with $14.3B coming due — 25% of the entire book — though that cohort carries a comparatively light 4.4% distress rate. The nearer-term 2027 vintage is smaller at $7.6B but shows a 17.3% distress rate, the most strained of the tracked years. Median DSCR across the market stands at 1.26.
In the filed record, distress is flat, holding at 7.0% as of July 2026. The on-the-ground tape is where the pressure shows: 343 distress events over the past year — 110 store closures and 233 layoff notices — touching 26,652 jobs, even as metro unemployment reads 4.7% in August 2026, down 0.7 points year over year.
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.

New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ sits at a wall-to-room ratio of 1.18, above the median of 0.24, ranking 53 of 275 counting from the most strained, so its $13.33bn maturing balance against 438 maturing loans exceeds the $11.30bn of room regional and community banks have left after committed draws. Before deducting committed draws the ratio is 0.99, meaning the $7.85bn of committed draws alone flips the metro from roughly covered to strained; note this is measured against a $57.10bn CMBS UPB and only among 79 banks qualifying here, with 27 banks whose deposits do not indicate where they lend excluded, and the room figure is a deposit-footprint proxy rather than a measurement, so 1.18 is an upper bound on the share local banks would have to absorb.

Over the trailing 365 days, the New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ metro recorded 111 store closures and 234 WARN notices, with 26,858 jobs affected — a figure that is a floor, since notices stating no headcount are counted but contribute zero jobs. On the credit side, the reading is a state-level proxy rather than a metro-native count: 241 CRE-likely filings across the states where this metro's collateral sits, so it should not be read as activity confined to the metro itself.
