So welcome to The Mortgage Observer. Stick around and stay a while. We’re dedicated to bringing you all the commercial real estate finance news happening in the New York tristate area, with a focus on tracking and diving down deep into recent mortgages— that’s our mission. As we head further into spring, it’s easy to feel optimistic and ready to start something new with vigor. The weather’s warmer, the flowers are blooming, the sun sticks around later… Well, opti- mism regarding the economy and what our collective financial recovery means for commercial real estate seems to be in bloom once again, too. No doubt uncertainties still loom, but several of the stories we’re bringing you this month attest to this. For instance, my profile of CIT Group’s Matt Galligan, formerly of Bank of Ireland. After helping to set up Bank of Ireland’s U.S. portfolio, Matt found himself having to wind it—and his position— down when Irish regulators called for the bank to deleverage. Matt and much of his team from Bank of Ireland weathered that storm and started something new—the real estate finance division at CIT Group. The move isn’t without risk. But as Matt told me, everyone has risk—whether they know it or not. For me, optimism abounds in the story of M&T Bank, as well. With its focus on community lend- ing and a loyalty for its long-time customers, the bank weathered the financial crisis and recently acquired Wilmington Trust, which will allow it to provide new wealth management services to those customers. As someone helping to start something new myself, I took a lot from all of these stories. And I’m sure that you’ll find them valuable and informative, too. Also of value, I hope, will be our analysis of commercial mortgage deals in the New York tristate area. We’ve populated this magazine with lists, charts and graphs—all designed to give you an on- going, easy to access snapshot of who the lenders, borrowers and brokers are. As we continue on, please feel free to get in touch and let me know what’s working for you and what’s not. And, of course, as we continue on into spring and deals bloom for you, reach out and share them with us. Happy spring. 2 THE MORTGAGE OBSERVER APRIL 2012 CMO_0412_EditorLetter.indd 2 3/22/12 8:03:01 PM The Connecticut Portfolio $163,800,000 | 1,170 residential units Hoyt Bedford Apartments Montoya Apartments Stamford, CT Branford, CT Morgan Manor Apartments Seramonte Apartments Stamford, CT Hamden, CT Drew Anderman Financing provided by: [email protected] Alan Blank [email protected] Commercial Real Estate Finance Atlanta | Bethesda | Chicago | Dallas | Irvine Nashville | New Orleans | New York | Walnut Creek ADpage.indd 30 3/22/12 8:06:17 PM NEWS EXCHANGE Note sales, investments, mortgage originations, mergers, aquisitions MetLife’s Commercial Mortgage Volume Hit $11 Billion in 2011 Life insurance companies continue to exceed ex- about the loan origination volumes. “Our commitment pectations in the commercial mortgage originations to prudent risk management and our long-term invest- space.

Shenker turned himself in to police hours later. His co-defendant, Lyne, was arrested and arraigned on the indictment on February 1, 2021. District Attorney Katz said, “There is nothing amusing about a bomb hoax, and the defendants now face very serious charges. Planting a fake explosive in a shopping center creates chaos and fear and these two men are accused of setting up a device to look like a bomb and then fleeing the scene.” Defendant Shenker, of Amherst, Massachusetts, was arraigned today before Queens Supreme Court Justice John Zoll on an indictment charging him with placing a false bomb or hazardous substance in a sports stadium or arena, mass transportation facility, or enclosed shopping mall, making a terroristic threat and abandonment of an animal.

This trend appeared on the construction market along with the progress of advanced struc- tural solutions and the high demand for luxury apartments with spectacular views. Two types of constructions can be distinguished within this typology: ultra-luxury super-slim towers with the exclusivity of one or two apartments per floor (e.g. located in Manhattan, New York) and other slender high-rise towers, built in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Hong Kong, Bangkok, and Melbourne, among others, which have multiple apartments on each floor. This paper presents a survey of selected slender high-rise buildings, where structural improvements in tall buildings developed over the recent decade are considered from the architectural and structural view.
