What our customers are saying

“A couple of years ago, a project stalled, and we had spent close to $1.5 million. The closing would not take place for another nine months. Fortunately, we were introduced to NYCEEC, and they processed the loan in a month! Working with NYCEEC is seamless because everyone is professional and dedicated. Because of NYCEEC, we have been able to develop more units of green affordable housing.”

“It’s very difficult for a co-op of our size to get a loan. It’s not about our creditworthiness; it’s that it doesn’t make economic sense for banks to make such small loans. So it was very important for us to get this loan from NYCEEC.”
