1st Mariner Tower Faces Foreclosure

BALTIMORE (AP) ―

A French bank has begun foreclosure proceedings on 1st Mariner Tower at Canton Crossing.

Paris-based Natixis SA told banker and developer Edwin F. Hale Sr. on Friday that an auction for the building and surrounding land is scheduled for Oct. 21 after a default on an $84 million loan, according to a notice of sale.

Hale said Tuesday that he's considering several ways to resolve the problem, including trying to sell the 17-story building that opened three years ago. He says he's current on the loan, but the bank found that he is in default in a couple of provisions.

Hale's 1st Mariner Bank revealed Monday that regulators have ordered it to devise a plan to improve its capital and deal with problem loans. The "cease-and-desist" order sets deadlines and benchmarks on capital levels for the bank.
