Great Western Bank plans branch in Greeley

GREELEY — Sioux Falls, S.D.-based Great Western Bank has submitted plans to build a two-story bank building in the Pinnacle Office Park in west Greeley.

Great Western Bank currently operates a loan office at 2015 Clubhouse Drive, suite 100, near the Highland Hills golf course in Greeley. Operations there will be moved to the new branch when it is completed.

Great Western is proposing to construct the approximately 11,000-square-foot building at 5202 20th St. on vacant land it will purchase from Pinnacle Park Partners LLC, an entity registered to Greeley-based Richmark Real Estate Partners LLC. Bryan Guest, Great Western Bank’s market president for Loveland and Greeley, said the property is under contract.

Guest said initially the bank plans to lease-out the second floor but could house some employees upstairs if the branch expands its workforce. Jennifer Izaguirre will serve as branch manager.

The bank expects to break ground on the branch in October and complete the project by October 2019. Great Western has chosen a Greeley-based general contractor, which chose not to be named.

Plans include two drive-through lanes, one for commercial customers and one for general customers.

According to planning documents, the building materials include synthetic stone tiles, synthetic ledge stone veneer and stucco, similar in color and placement to three adjacent single-story buildings. In addition, masonry brick veneer will be used to compliment but distinguish the bank from these properties.

Great Western Bank has about 180 branches in Arizona, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Colorado, including Boulder, Fort Collins, Loveland, Longmont, Louisville, Lafayette, Broomfield and Erie.
