CITIZENS BANK & TRUST BREAKS GROUND ON NEW PLANT CITY OFFICE

On August 26, 2022, Citizens Bank & Trust held a groundbreaking ceremony for the Bank’s new Plant City branch office. The site marks the first newly-constructed building outside of Polk County in the Bank’s 102-year history.

Citizens Bank & Trust Plant City Branch Groundbreaking Ceremony

Designed by Straughn Trout Architects, the new 3,660-square-foot building exhibits an interior aesthetic and floorplan concept that maximizes functional efficiencies and portrays the bank’s commitment to contemporary financial products and personalized services. The exterior of the building responds to a unique site with a façade that presents a stylistic fusion of the Bank’s established Mediterranean style with brick accents that compliment adjacent structures along James L. Redman Parkway. This project is a continuation of STA’s extensive experience in commercial development, including several banking facilities of varying scale and complexity.

The new Plant City branch is scheduled for completion in Fall 2023.
