Corus, which has 103 commercial real estate loan commitments totaling $5.37 billion, had $499.1 million in foreclosed real estate on its books as of March 31.
Chicago small business lawyer also has $2 billion in non-performing loans and $1.3 billion in "potential" problem loans.

In Ft. Lauderdale, for example, Corus and the developers of Trump International Hotel & Tower are at the center of a lawsuit seeking class-action status on behalf of those who bought condo hotel units during the preconstruction phase of the still-unfinished project.
