Trepp's analysis of CRE lending spreads from early 2025 through June 2026 finds that while spreads are compressing uniformly across property types at the 50-59% LTV level, relative premiums between property types are shifting—specifically, retail loan premiums have compressed relative to industrial loans, and office premiums have widened over retail.
