What The Auction Tells Us

Victor Menasce
About this episode

On today’s show we are looking at the results of one of the most anticipated real estate auctions this year. Signature bank failed in the Spring of this year, shortly after the failure of Silicon Valley Bank. 

The loan portfolio was finally put to auction and it looks like a joint venture of two nonprofits and Related Fund Management is poised to win an auction for billions of dollars of Signature Bank loans backed by New York apartments, 

Signature failed in March following a run on its deposits, the fourth largest bank failure in U.S. history. While the failure had little to do with its real-estate portfolio, it was one of the biggest commercial property lenders in the New York region.
