"The owner of TC Energy Center, a distinctive feature of Houston’s skyline, has stopped making payments on its loan, according to S&P Global which also cited two other Houston properties atop its list of largest national delinquent loans in March.

M-M Properties as an outstanding balance of $133M on loans for TCEnergy Tower a 1.3M SF, 56-story office building at 700 Louisiana St., according to information from Trepp."

How is it possible that Houston has some of the largest delinquent loans when back to office stats are in the top 3 for US cities? Is it just that the the vacancy rate was so high going into COVID that the back-to-office vs pre covid stat is distorted?

I think it's just a timing thing.  We just happened to have two large ones go delinquent during the month of March.  Pretty much a non-story.  Pretty sure Dallas, for example, has had more major office building delinquencies and foreclosures than we have in recent years.  And of course there's something in the blood of Houston journalists (and Houstonians in general) that just loves to latch on to any negative stories about Houston.

Agreed. Chicago has a lot of similar situations. Houston seems to have held on longer than other cities, it's just catching up to some other places.

TC Energy Center at 700 Louisiana St is for sale again, according to marketing materials from JLL.


More from a CoStar article yesterday (it's behind a hard paywall):

 

A trophy high-rise office tower in downtown Houston is on the market and is being offered for $285 million, according to marketing materials recently published online by JLL.

M-M Properties, a real estate company based in the Houston suburb of The Woodlands, Texas, is offering its 56-floor high-rise at 700 Louisiana St. in downtown Houston for nearly $223 per square foot, according JLL’s investment offering. TC Energy Center, as the building has been called since 2019, has been owned by M-M Properties since 2007.

...A JLL spokesperson declined to confirm when the building was put up for sale, although the timing of the listing likely coincides with the building's loan maturing last month.

M-M Properties did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but TC Energy Center was one of two buildings used as collateral for a recently delinquent commercial mortgage-backed securities loan earlier this year.

The owner of one of Houston’s most recognizable skyscrapers has renogotiated a $252 million loan tied to the tower that had been on the verge of default. 

At a time of ongoing upheaval in the office market, the deal between M-M Properties and lender Starwood Property Trust offers a more certain future for the 56-story TC Energy Center at 700 Louisiana.
