A commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) loan tied to five office properties in Los Angeles County has transferred to special servicing due to imminent default. 

The properties are located across the cities of Agoura Hills, Calabasas and Woodland Hills. Affiliates of Realty Bancorp Equities own the 348,400-square-foot portfolio, according to property records. J.P. Morgan Chase and Deutsche Bank issued the $69 million financing package in 2020.
