Loans to assets63.9%56.7% to 86.5% across 8 peersTotal loans divided by total assets.FDIC call report,

Our calculation: construction, multifamily and non-owner-occupied nonfarm nonresidential loans, divided by tier 1 capital plus the allowance for loan losses. It is not the test in the 2006 interagency guidance on commercial real estate concentrations (December 12, 2006; OCC Bulletin 2006-46, Federal Reserve SR 07-1). That guidance measures against total risk-based capital, also counts loans that finance commercial real estate but are not secured by real estate, and looks more closely when construction and land loans reach 100% of that capital, or commercial real estate loans reach 300% of it and have grown 50% or more in the prior 36 months. This figure uses a different capital base, leaves out the unsecured loans and applies no growth condition. The guidance sets no limit on lending. Not a rating, and not a statement about safety or deposits.

Loan channel and SBA processing

Public record only

  • Of 100 multifamily loans with a known channel in 2024 to 2025, 53 (53.0%) came through a third party. HMDA,

Third party includes correspondents as well as brokers. No figure here means no evidence, not a refusal.

  • How much of its book it made recently. Call reports carry balances, not loans made.
  • Which of its commercial real estate is office, retail, industrial or hotel. Call reports do not split the book by property type.
