StorageBlue, New Jersey’s most consumer-centric and self-proclaimed lowest-priced self-storage brand continues their New Jersey expansion efforts with the grand opening of their Garfield location at 170 River Drive, Garfield, NJ 07026. The project. The $6M project was financed by New York’s Piermont Bank and the location is now officially celebrating its grand opening.

The deal, designed to ensure the long term success of the project, was spearheaded by Piermont Bank.  Says Rob Rynarzewski, Head of Commercial Real Estate, Piermont Bank, “Piermont was able to work with Alan at StorageBlue to creatively structure an interest-only loan that would give him the time needed to lease-up his newest facility in Garfield. This is another example of how the Piermont team is able to think outside of the box for our clients. We also believe it is about building a long-term relationship that will support each other’s growth.”

Piermont Bank opened in 2019 with a mission to reinvent how banking works.  With an entrepreneurial culture, where decisions are made quickly, consistently, and diligently, they offer clients the peace of mind with our certainty in strong execution and quick turnaround. Their fully digitized process turns around loans in half the time business owners typically experience. Piermont provides business owners with common sense, yet tailored banking solutions, with nothing off-the-shelf. They are willing to look at deals that are unique and challenge ourselves to come up with creative and relevant solutions.
