"City National Bank refinanced a loan we had with another bank. Through City National, we were able to cut the interest significantly and with the extra financial resources we could complete the renovation of a five-story townhouse, which used to be a crackhouse. Now we have a hair salon with ten styling chairs, and five spa treatment areas. The top three floors will become one-bedroom apartments in the next few weeks with the help of City National. "We are really happy to be part of the revitalization of this terrific neighborhood. We planted flowers in our front garden, and now our neighbors also plant flowers, so it is really nice to walk around the area in the summer.” - Sharon Ayers - Harlem, NY
