The Jacksonville Bank is moving its corporate headquarters to 100 Laura Street, the company announced Monday.
The 10-story, 120,000 square-foot building will be renamed The Jacksonville Bank building, effective Sept. 1 when the company officially takes occupancy.
The move will support the company’s rapid growth, while creating an optimal environment for both customers and employees, according to Gil Pomar III, president and CEO of The Jacksonville Bank.
“We are incredibly proud to have our name associated with a building that is excellent in terms of location, aesthetics, history and technological advancement,” said Pomar. “When people walk into this building they will see that Jacksonville has a new ‘Class A’ office building that is truly special. It is a milestone for our company and great for downtown Jacksonville.”
The Jacksonville Bank will lease approximately 12,000 square feet, which will house the company’s 40 employees. The company’s new space will include nearly 3,000 square feet on the first floor for a full service branch and an additional 9,000 square feet on the 10th floor for corporate offices, commercial banking, its finance division and operational areas.
“Downtown revitalization hinges on growth that corporations such as Jacksonville Bank bring to the area,” said Maurice Nichols, the building’s manager. “We are thrilled to have Jacksonville Banks’ support and equally excited about the response received from the other prospective tenants. This is just the beginning.”
