Meantime, its commercial loan portfolio climbed more than 8%, to $29.9 billion as of Nov. 30 from $27.6 billion at the end of November 2005. The company noted that its portfolio of loans totaled $92 billion as of Nov. 30, down 12% from $105.3 billion at the end of November 2005.Fourth-quarter credit trends remain stable in the bank’s core commercial and consumer loan portfolios, according to a company statement.

National City spokeswoman Kelly Wagner Amen said the bank would not reveal the identity of the developer, though she noted the project is in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States.
