NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Trepp, LLC, the leading provider of CMBS and commercial mortgage information, analytics and technology to the global securities and investment management industry, released today its January 2011 Delinquency Report (full report available at http://www.trepp.com).

The U.S. CMBS delinquency rate rose again in January with the percentage of loans 30 or more days delinquent, in foreclosure or REO climbing 14 basis points to 9.34%, the highest in history for U.S. commercial real estate loans in CMBS. The value of delinquent loans now exceeds $61.4 billion.

“While the rate continues to head higher, optimists can point to the fact that the rate of increase is significantly smaller than it was in the prior two months,” said Manus Clancy, Managing Director of Trepp, LLC. “Pessimists can counter that the jump comes despite the fact that new issues continue to make their way into the calculation and servicers continue to resolve troubled loans.”
