St. Louis-based First Banks Inc. has its hands full with CIB, which it agreed to buy for $62 million in a deal announced in August and slated to close by yearend. Mounting loan losses attached to aggressive construction lending — a condo project at 6 N. Michigan Ave. went into default in January on a $44.8 million loan package — led federal and state bank agencies to order a rare cease-and-desist order against "hazardous" business practices. — H.

A year ago, family-owned Bridgeview bought Chicago's Uptown National Bank for $57 million — a 60% premium over Uptown's stock price. Later came a much smaller deal for the Mokena branch of First East Side Savings Bank. Little Bridgeview now has banking interests all the way to Phoenix. Critics say the bank has paid too much to grow too fast, but Chairman Peter Haleas has plans for a new branch near Midway Airport and says he's "always looking for more acquisition opportunities." — H. Lee Murphy
