Four classes of GMAC Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc. mortgage pass-through certificates, series 2000-FL1, have been downgraded by Moody's Investors Service.The downgrades were as follows: class C, from A2 to Baa1; class D, from Ba1 to Baa2; class E, from Baa3 to Ba2; and class F, from Ba2 to B2. The ratings on three other classes in the deal were affirmed. Moody's said the downgrades were based on a significant decline in the value of the $84.2 million Level 3 loan, the second-largest in the deal. The loan represents 41.5% of the pool balance and is secured by a 775,000-square-foot class A office complex northwest of Denver. "While a near-term default on the debt is not expected, Moody's is concerned about refinancing prospects given the current Denver market conditions," the rating agency said.
