The new
PNC Bank under construction on Lake Lansing road in
East Lansing isn’t your ordinary bank branch. The national bank, which prides itself on being a leader in the green building movement, is making the new location its first brand new “Green Branch” in Michigan.
“We are very excited about it,” says PNC Retail Market Executive Jim Paul. “It’s an opportunity for us to showcase what PNC is all about. This is going to be a great area in the Lansing area to highlight this, because that corridor is growing so much.”
Construction on the development has been underway by the Caddis Development Group since February, and Paul expects the project to be complete by mid-November. The bank will celebrate with a grand opening and recycling event.
“The layout of the branch is a little bit different than what customers normally see,” says Paul. “There is a lot more natural light. Also, not just in this branch, we are expanding our green friendly technology.”
PNC isn’t waiting for the 4,000 square foot green branch to open its doors to get work underway. A PNC team that will eventually move into the branch is already operating in the area. Paul expects the branch to house approximately 10 jobs, and says PNC is always looking to hire new talent for the growing company.
