“We were pleased to assist our client with its specific requirements for this construction project,” Groblewski said. “The quality of the development and the extensive construction and management experience of the borrower generated strong interest from a variety of lenders.  The winning bid came from a major New England-based financial institution which offered a competitive and creative loan structure.”
