Dallas-based North Dallas Bank & Trust Co. has broken ground on a 31,000-square-foot renovation project at its corporate headquarters and Dallas banking center, located at 12900 Preston Road. The project broke ground in May and is slated for completion in December 2021. The banking center will remain open by appointment only throughout the renovation period. Its existing drive-thru facility will remain fully operational.
The international architectural firm Gensler and Plano-based Pacific Builders were hired to design and renovate the space, which North Dallas Bank & Trust originally constructed in 1971. Included in the project is a complete redesign, reconfiguration and modernization of its existing bank lobby, teller lines, office space, executive suites, customer and employee lounges and technologies, as well as a relocation of its drive-thru facilities.
North Dallas Bank & Trust’s new Dallas banking center will feature a remodeled front entrance, inviting customer seating areas with ergonomic furniture, floor-to-ceiling glass windows, a hospitality bar with complimentary beverages and snacks, artwork and murals commissioned by local Dallas artists, new flooring, heightened ceilings, LED lighting, technology upgrades and public wifi, as well as all-new electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems. In addition, existing teller lines will be replaced by convenient service desks. The project also incorporates new office space for the bank’s specialized departments, including lending, treasury management, call center, credit, loan operations, and deposit services, as well as updated executive suites and conference rooms.
“Our redevelopment of the Dallas banking center will result in the complete upgrade of our existing facilities, providing a beautiful new environment for our employees, customers and guests,” says Larry Miller, president and CEO. “Our design includes welcoming amenities, access to the most current technologies and an efficient design plan that ensures a wonderful customer experience with every visit.”
North Dallas Bank & Trust first opened its doors to customers in 1960 at the corner of Preston Road and Forest Lane in Dallas with $2 million in total assets, three officers and seven employees. Today, the bank is celebrating more than 60 years in business with $1.5 billion in total assets, 150-plus employees and five banking centers located in Dallas, Addison, Frisco, Las Colinas and Plano.
