On a July conference call with industry analysts, BankUnited Chairman
and CEO John Kanas noted, “We began early this year to start to spread
out our loan origination mechanism across the state and we are finding
that we are getting a very, very strong early indication from areas like
Tampa, Orlando and Jacksonville. The pipeline for Florida by the way
going into the third quarter is very strong….Much of that is driven by
the new people that we brought on.”
