New York-based real estate auctioneer Sheldon Good & Co. and Banco Popular de Puerto Rico announced Wednesday an upcoming joint auction of 101 luxury residences and villas located in five developments throughout the island.
Puerto Rico’s main banks had more than $75.6 billion in combined assets at the end of 2010, reflecting a year-over-year drop of 15.6 percent, according to a report released by the Office of the Commissioner of Financial Institutions.
Popular Inc. continues taking steps toward improving its balance sheet with an announcement Monday that it has signed a non-binding letter of intent to sell approximately $500 million of construction and commercial real estate loans. Some 75 percent of the loans, which will be sold at book value, are non-performing.
