The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Flagstar Bank, N.A., is a leading multifamily mortgage portfolio lender. While a significant share of the multifamily mortgage loans we originate are for properties in New York and New Jersey, where rent-regulated apartment buildings are a predominant housing type, the Bank is also a leading multifamily mortgage portfolio lender in Ohio, Florida, and Arizona. The Bank originated multifamily loans that were primarily secured by non-luxury residential apartment buildings that feature rent-regulated units and below-market rents.
Many of the neighborhoods in which the Bank originates multi-family loans can be considered areas of naturally occurring affordable housing and are primarily low- and moderate-income areas. In the last 11 years, the Bank’s multi-family lending in these neighborhoods represented 46% of total originated loans and 54% of total originated loan amount. And in New York City, where the bank originates a significant share of multi-family loans, lending in these neighborhoods represented 56% of the number of loans and 59% of the total loan amount.
The Bank is the second largest multi-family portfolio lender in the country and the leading multi-family portfolio lender in the New York City market, where it specializes in rent-regulated, non-luxury apartment buildings. Over the course of our public life, we have produced multi-family loans totaling $115.5 billion, including $8.4 billion in 2022.
