What rate should I expect on cmbs conduit debt in Toronto?
5.30% indicative — the Government of Canada 5-year benchmark bond yield plus a 215 bps cmbs conduit debt spread. Individual quotes move with covenant strength, asset quality, and sponsor track record, and Toronto's deep lender market widens or narrows that dispersion.
How large a loan does a typical Toronto deal support?

Does coverage or leverage bind first on this product in Toronto?
