Week of 2026-09-14 · Published September 14, 2026
Market Context
Industrial and logistics debt activity expanded heading into mid-September 2026, driven by a surge in large single-asset single-borrower (SASB) and conduit CMBS originations that reached nearly $15 billion year-to-date. Major money-center balance-sheet lenders and global investment banks dominated transaction pipelines, financing core distribution centers and advanced manufacturing facilities. Despite persistent negative leverage conditions in secondary locations, top-tier logistics hubs maintained robust lender liquidity across bridge, balance sheet, and securitized executions.
