On May 15, 2015, Deutsche Mortgage & Asset Receiving Corporation (the “Depositor”) caused the issuance, pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among the Depositor, as depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as master servicer, CWCapital Asset Management LLC, as special servicer, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator, paying agent and custodian, and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor, of COMM 2015-CCRE23 Mortgage Trust Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates (the “Certificates”).

The Certificates represent, in the aggregate, the entire beneficial ownership in COMM 2015-CCRE23 Mortgage Trust (the “Issuing Entity”), a common law trust fund formed under the laws of the State of New York pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The assets of the Issuing Entity consist primarily of 83 fixed-rate mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”) secured by first liens on 220 commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties.

The Mortgage Loan identified as “La Gran Plaza” on Exhibit B to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “La Gran Plaza Mortgage Loan”), which is an asset of the Issuing Entity, is part of a loan combination (the “La Gran Plaza Loan Combination”) that includes the La Gran Plaza Mortgage Loan and two other pari passu loans which are not assets of the Issuing Entity (each, a “La Gran Plaza Companion Loan”). The La Gran Plaza Loan Combination, including the La Gran Plaza Mortgage Loan, is being serviced and administered under the pooling and servicing agreement, dated as of August 1, 2015 (the “COMM 2015-CCRE24 Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among the Depositor, as depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as master servicer, LNR Partners LLC, as special servicer, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator, paying agent and custodian, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor, relating to the COMM 2015-CCRE24 Mortgage Trust securitization transaction into which one of the La Gran Plaza Companion Loans was deposited. The COMM 2015-CCRE24 Pooling and Servicing Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

The terms and conditions of the COMM 2015-CCRE24 Pooling and Servicing Agreement applicable to the servicing of the La Gran Plaza Mortgage Loan are similar to the terms and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement applicable to the servicing of the other Mortgage Loans, as described under “The Pooling and Servicing Agreement” in the Prospectus Supplement filed by the Issuing Entity pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) with respect to the Certificates on May 15, 2015.
