Re: Benchmark 2019-B11 Mortgage Trust
Form 10-K for Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2019
Filed March 17, 2020
File No. 333-226123-03
Dear Ms. Hsu:
We are acting as counsel to J.P. Morgan Chase Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp. (“JPMCC”) in connection with your letter dated August 6, 2020 transmitting the comment (the “Comment”) of the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) relating to the above-captioned Form 10-K filing (the “Filing”). We have reviewed the Comment and the Filing and have discussed the Comment with various representatives of JPMCC.
For your convenience, the Staff’s comment is repeated in italics below, followed by the response of JPMCC.
Form 10-K
Exhibits
1. | There is a lack of clarity as to whether Exhibit 34.30 and Exhibit 33.30 (Park Bridge Lending Services LLC) refer to the same platform. Please clarify whether the platform to which the assessment and attestation relate are the same. |
We have communicated with Park Bridge Lender Services LLC (“Park Bridge”) and Gettry Marcus CPA, P.C. (“Gettry”) and they have each informed us that the platform described in the assessment of compliance with applicable servicing criteria (the “Assessment”) and the related attestation report (the “Attestation”) provided by Gettry covers the same platform of transactions. In addition, Park Bridge has indicated that future Assessments and Attestations delivered will more clearly reflect the platform being covered to avoid any confusion.
In responding to the Staff’s comment with respect to the Filing, JPMCC has authorized us to acknowledge on their behalf, and we hereby acknowledge, that:
