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 while office tracks the nation in New York's $57 billion book

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.

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.

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.
elevated by size, not by rate — store closures clear a flat count threshold while sitting below the median of their own rate ranking. Any reading that leans on them is a statement about how big this metro is.
Store closures: divided by 8,254,312 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 9,910,344 employed — employed persons, BLS LAUS, not seasonally adjusted (trailing 365 days to today).
Bank CRE at lenders over the noncurrent line: divided by $342,227.8 mm — bank CRE allocated to this metro by branch deposits (2026-03-31).
Securitized loans in special servicing: divided by $57,226.0 mm — current balance on the non-pari-passu rows of this tape — the trust's slice, not the whole loan, on both sides of the ratio (2026-07-29).

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.
Unemployment · Aug 2026

Last 24 months

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.

Retail trade

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 6.7% distressed where its own property mix predicts 7.6% — $543M 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. 2 of 6 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 — 7.0% now (2026-07), -0.8pp 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.

$13.4B of CMBS matures here within two years. The 79 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 0.99× that room. The median metro sits at 0.13×.

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 $7.8B of construction committed and not yet advanced, of which $2.0B comes out of the room above, leaving $11.3B, with 46 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 $5.8B 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 79 are past it on drawn balances alone, and 9 more cross it once their own commitments fund. 1% 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.

* Two ratios, two perimeters. 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 New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ have the capacity to refinance its maturing CRE?

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.

Compared against a median wall-to-room ratio of 0.24 across the ranked metros.
1.18 is ABOVE the median of 0.24, so this metro is MORE strained than the typical ranked metro
53 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.

What has actually happened on the ground in New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ recently?

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.

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').

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.

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.
