Jessica Rascionato leads commercial real estate at Citizens Bank, directing the lender’s national CRE strategy, which is valued at $25 billion. Her remit places her at the center of financing decisions across a property market still adapting to changing borrowing conditions and capital availability.

Rascionato’s work focuses on capital flows, financial trends and macroeconomic developments that influence commercial property lending and investment. Those factors remain central for developers, owners and investors assessing transaction timing, refinancing needs and project feasibility.

According to a profile by Commercial Observer, Rascionato has held an executive role at Citizens Bank for nearly a decade. Her tenure has included the market disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

For the commercial property sector, bank lending strategies carry particular weight as borrowers navigate an uneven financing landscape. Citizens Bank’s CRE platform, under Rascionato’s leadership, reflects the continuing importance of institutional lenders in allocating capital across the national market.
