WHAT DOES BOFA MEAN FOR CRE?
Bank of America branch
Bank of America announced this week that it's nearing the end a comprehensive review. Result: 30,000 jobs slashed, a management reorg, consumer biz streamlining, and an annual net expense reduction of $5B by '13. What does it mean for CRE? BofA has one of the best networks of branches in the country, says Newmark Knight Frank bank services group head Proctor Wong.

Possibilities for any vacated branches: an infill takeover by other banks or regional portfolio sales.
