S&P Lowers Ratings on Deal Involving Former Starwood Malls: S&P Global Ratings lowered its ratings on three classes of commercial mortgage security certificates from GSMS 2018-SRP5. The deal is backed by a floating-rate interest-only mortgage loan, with an outstanding balance of more than $508 million, secured by the interests in five enclosed regional malls totaling 5.9 million square feet in California, Ohio and Washington formerly controlled by an affiliate of Starwood Capital Group. The downgrades of classes A, B and C reflect S&P’s reevaluation of the portfolio.
