Commenting on the portfolio of properties being sold, Jeff Azuse, Senior Vice President of Hilco Real Estate, said, "The assets in this portfolio have unique and location-related attributes given that most were previously bank branches. The layout of the structures and lot sizes will be very attractive to a wide audience of medical and general office users, real estate developers, and investors.  Many of these properties are located in well-traveled commercial districts and have tremendous income producing potential.  As such, we anticipate this sale to attract active interest from a broad spectrum of businesses, developers, investors and end-users." 

Mr. Azuse continued, "As we see a shift in consumer preferences in the banking industry, large brick and mortar bank branches are no longer a necessity to run a successful consumer banking operation.  Both the quantity and size of branch locations within a bank's portfolio has decreased significantly in recent years." 

"Over the past few years, Hilco has helped numerous local and regional banks streamline their real estate portfolios by disposing of excess branches and other bank-owned assets using an accelerated sales process with a date certain offer deadline or auction. These types of sales continue to grow as one of the leading disposition strategies for bank-owned properties due to their swift timeframe, transparency, and surety of closing.  In this industry, Hilco is a leader," Azuse added.
