NEW YORK, NY - National Cooperative Bank (NCB), a leading lender to cooperative housing throughout the Tri-State area, originated $64 million in new loans during June for 29 New York area properties, the largest activity year-to-date for the Bank. Manhattan experienced the most activity, with the bank arranging $33 million in financing for 16 co-ops. Edward Howe III, managing director of the NCB New York office, made the announcement.
“June was a record month for the Bank this year, both in the number of cooperatives securing financing, and in the overall loan total for the New York region,” said Mr. Howe. “We saw more than half of the financing originate in Manhattan, which was a change from last month’s heavy focus on the outer boroughs. The summer months are a wonderful time for Boards to begin or complete capital improvements or other projects that maintain the value of the cooperative.”
