So, I know the value of having a bank maintain a steady course through all types of market disruptions. We never stopped moving forward and, as a result, earned a good amount of new business.” More specifically, the bank’s CRE lending business has increased substantially in the past 18 months. This expan- sion has been made possible by a steady stream of sizeable deals. Highlights include: ▪ A $35 million, construc - tion to permanent loan for a 158-unit, mixed use project in Belleville, NJ. ▪ A $32 million, permanent loan for the acquisition of a luxury apartment complex in South Amboy, NJ. ▪ A $29 million, construc - tion to permanent loan for a 485,000 s/f warehouse, distri- bution, and logistics facility in Pemberton, NJ. ▪ A $25 million permanent loan for nine mixed-use apart- ment buildings inManhattan’s HANOVER COUNTY, VA — Coldwell Banker Com- mercial represented Weg- mans Food Markets in their purchase of nearly 221 acres of vacant land in Hanover County for $4 million.
