Cross River Bank, a state-chartered FDIC-insured bank and Equal Housing Lender known for its Commercial Banking Group (CBG) and real estate lending platform, announced it has facilitated more than $1 billion in loans in the first half of 2025, while retaining $550 million in originations on its balance sheet — marking its highest mid-year performance to date. The team originated 46 loans, ranging from $490,000 to $50 million in multiple asset types.
CBG maintained $2.4 billion in assets under management (AUM), serving as a strategic conduit for both bank and nonbank partners. The milestone demonstrates the strength and focus of CBG’s commercial real estate, construction, lender finance, health care and business lending services divisions, which have collectively contributed to sustained momentum and client impact. The dual-quarter performance builds on the Group’s year-over-year trajectory, following over $1 billion in originations on the bank’s balance sheet in 2024.
“At Cross River, we are more than just a lender — we are a trusted bridge between capital and opportunity,” said Shimon Eisikowicz, EVP and chief lending officer at Cross River. “We’re not just participating in the market — we’re helping shape it, connecting traditional and emerging players with solutions grounded in trust, flexibility and execution.”
The bank’s continued focus on credit discipline, portfolio diversification and market responsiveness has further solidified its position as a trusted lending partner nationwide. It remains committed to accelerating growth while empowering clients and partners through innovative and responsible financial solutions.
