"BMO Harris was looking to right-size a group of large, legacy bank branches...The first SLB immediately reduced our operating expenses, and enabled the redesign of the oversized branch's space to fit our needs. The second portfolio transaction enabled further cost savings, branch space rightsizing and a step up capital gain meeting BMO’s financial objectives. Our working partnership with Brookline on these transactions has been very effective, and we would recommend them to anyone."

John Burk, Portfolio Manager, BMO Harris Bank

"Working with Brookline Branch Services was exceptional! They understood our needs, the transaction process was seamless and the management team is top notch. We would recommend them to any financial institution looking to utilize ASC Topic 842 “Leases” for a sale-leaseback of their bank branch real estate portfolio.”
