CEO Nigel Harrison said, This building represents our commitment to bringing First Community Bank back to Houston and the Bay Area where we originally got our start. It also represents our commitment to innovative environmental design and energy efficiency as one of Houston’s first GOLD LEED Certified Green buildings.
Our return to Houston is something we’ve looked forward to and planned on for several years. We have a lot of loyal friends and former customers from our initial First Community Bank days and they have been asking for us to return, said Harrison.
In addition to housing the home office headquarters of FC Holdings, Inc., the 12400 Gulf Freeway building will also have the home office for First Community Bank with a drive-thru that will join Webster and Friendswood as the third full service location opened in the Houston/Bay Area this year with more planned in the future.
When asked about the bank’s growth as it relates to the current economy, Harrison said, We have always been a positive and optimistic organization and have had the good fortune to attract like-minded customers who see the glass as more half full than half empty. The economy will recover and our bank, as well as our customers will be well positioned to embrace its return. In fact, we feel we are actively helping to encourage its return!
First Community is a US-based unitary savings and loan holding company.
