In his early career at Chase, he grew through the ranks to lead their commercial real estate business through the 1970s and 1980s and serving as the New York Regional Executive and was responsible for a multi-billion dollar real estate portfolio. Following on his success at Chase, McCahill built Fleet Bank into the region’s premier real estate lender, successfully transitioning the business through the merger with Bank of America. At Bank of America McCahill was an Executive Vice President and Senior Lending Officer responsible for the bank’s multi-billion dollar real estate loan portfolios in New York City and Long Island.
