9/14/20

Investors Bank recently closed 11 large commercial real estate (CRE) financing transactions, with a total value of $227 million. The loans were used to refinance five existing commercial mortgages, finance the construction of five new properties and to purchase a parcel of land. The combined size of these CRE assets, which includes existing properties and those planned to be built, equal about 1.6 million square feet of space.

The financed properties are primarily located in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania.

Investors also reported that its CRE Lending Group has completed a moderate first six months in closings of CRE transactions.

Speaking about Investors Bank’s loan transactions, Head of CRE Lending Joseph Orefice explained, “We are seeing steady activity in the second half of 2020. Our lenders are serving all segments of the CRE marketplace, including multifamily housing, new construction, and office buildings. Investors Bank has significant capital resources, and our senior lenders have the expertise and flexibility to structure financing to meet our borrowers’ specific needs.”

In the wake of the coronavirus pandemic and the changes that have occurred in the market, Mr. Orefice added, “We continually communicate and work closely with our CRE clients to provide the type of services they require right now.”

One of the largest transactions that Investors’ CRE lenders recently completed was the $38 million transaction to refinance a loan on a multifamily housing property in Warminster, Pennsylvania. The 270,000-square-foot building contains 257 residential units.
