SunTrust said there are no immediate changes in its Downtown location or building signage in the wake of VyStar Credit Union agreeing to buy and move its headquarters into the 358,278-square-foot SunTrust Tower at 76 S. Laura St.
The lease expires in July 2019. VyStar President and CEO Brian Wolfburg said SunTrust leased about 65,000 square feet of the building until it sublet space to Jacksonville University. Wolfburg said SunTrust’s lease will drop to about 35,000 square feet.
A SunTrust spokesman said the company will provide an update about its office space in the coming months.
