Investors Bank Uses Structured Financing To Originate Over $300 Million in CRE Loans

On May 11, 2018

The Investors Bank Commercial Real Estate (CRE) Lending Group recently originated 15 larger financing transactions that are valued at $308.3 million for a range of buildings. The structured loans were used to refinance 10 commercial mortgages, construct two properties, and acquire three buildings. The acquisitions include a commercial building on Staten Island as well as multifamily housing properties – one in Manhattan and the other in Stamford, Connecticut.

The refinancing was provided to owners of mixed-use buildings, office space, retail shopping centers and multifamily properties in New York City, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Connecticut. Those mixed-use and multifamily properties house a total of 850 residential units and 29 commercial spaces. The shopping center that was refinanced on Staten Island has 10 retail spaces and a parking garage, and the one refinanced in Ardmore, Pennsylvania has 13 stores with parking.

In discussing the recent financing transactions, Investors Bank Head of CRE Lending Joseph Orefice said, “We began 2018 in earnest with competitive programs and pricing. Our senior lenders expect to continue broadening the lending platform this year by targeting commercial assets that go along with the Bank’s strong financing in the multifamily housing sector.

Orefice also explained, “The first half of 2018 looks solid because we have a good market reception that contributes to a positive deal flow.”
