Crain's Detroit Business, June, 2007

list of 15: see print copy * * * This is LaSalle Bank Midwest's first time on this list under its own name following its parent company's sale of Ann Arbor-based ABN Amro Mortgage Services to New York City-based Citigroup Inc. The former ABN Amro Mortgage - No. 1 on last year's list at $53.4 billion, which encompassed LaSalle's local mortgage business - still employs about 850 in Ann Arbor but plans to close six offices in Troy and Madison Heights that employ about 570 people.

Citigroup will offer some of those employees jobs at the Ann Arbor location. The Ann Arbor location is now part of Citigroup's St. Louis-based CitiMortgage Inc. subsidiary and does not provide local financial numbers.
