While focusing on financing within Associated Bank’s footprint in the Midwest, the Commercial Real Estate Team also finances projects for clients nationwide. Whether construction, bridge, or term financing, Associated provides financing for the four traditional asset classes – multifamily, industrial, retail, and office, as well as medical office, student housing, mixed-use and self-storage—among others.
As a full-service financial institution, Associated Bank is also here to serve you with comprehensive solutions from everyday personal banking needs to wealth planning, to business and commercial opportunities. We’re here to help – and we value referrals for connecting with new customers.
Our approach is designed to elevate your financial potential and maximize future opportunities. For example, with wealth planning, our relationship managers develop and execute customized solutions using a multi-disciplined approach which brings your private banking, trust and estate planning, asset management and wealth planning needs to the forefront of your plan. Whether you’re in the first years of accumulating wealth or you’re ready to retire, our experienced Wealth Planners are well versed in all stages of life. For over a century, our clients have entrusted Associated Bank Private Wealth as their fiduciary and trusted advisor in understanding needs, planning for dreams, and focusing on long-term financial goals.
In the business space, Associated Bank Relationship Managers work with each client like they’re part of their company and a member of their own team. By getting to know the ins and outs of a business’s challenges and successes, we can better anticipate current and future needs. We work at the speed of business, providing fast, local decisions and direct access to decision-makers. Our commercial banking services are available in a 10-state footprint, but centralized in Chicago, Madison, Milwaukee and the Twin Cities. Nationwide, we also offer asset-based lending equipment finance and sponsor finance.
Have you done business with, or referred business to, any of our current members? Through the CREW network, we have made valuable industry connections which have been a resource for insight on the market, guidance on day-to-day operations, and colleague referrals.
