"June was a record month for the Bank this year, both in the number of cooperatives securing financing, and in the overall loan total for the New York region," said Howe. "We saw more than half of the financing originate in Manhattan, which was a change from last month's heavy focus on the outer boroughs. The summer months are a wonderful time for Boards to begin or complete capital improvements or other projects that maintain the value of the cooperative."
