Lake City Bank announced plans to invest $12 million in the company’s Innovation and Technology Center as part of its downtown Warsaw headquarters campus expansion.
The project represents the bank’s continued investment in Warsaw and Kosciusko County. It has invested $23 million in downtown Warsaw and $31 million total countywide since 2010.
Originally constructed in 1968, and purchased by Lake City Bank in 2024, the facility will undergo an interior and exterior transformation to modernize the space. Construction on the 35,600 square foot office building is expected to be completed by summer 2026.
“Warsaw has been our home since the bank was founded in 1872, and this project continues our 153-year history of continuous investment in our hometown,” said David Findlay, chairman and CEO, in a press release. “The Innovation and Technology Center will provide our team with space to continue our growth as a progressive, technology-driven community bank.”
The renovated Innovation and Technology Center will support Lake City Bank’s growing teams and serve as a central hub of innovation and collaboration across departments within the bank. The center will house the bank’s technology services, information security, application management and project management teams. The exterior renovations include the removal and structural repair of the existing brick façade, with the original brick preserved and repurposed for the project.
“Lake City Bank relishes opportunities to repurpose older buildings and bring them back to life with major capital investments, as we have done with all six our existing buildings on our downtown Warsaw campus and now with the Innovation and Technology Center,” Kristin Pruitt, president, said. “We’re eager to get to work on the project and look forward to celebrating its completion with the community next summer as we begin a new chapter in Warsaw with this renovation.”
Lake City Bank operates 55 branch offices throughout central and northern Indiana, including locations in South Bend and Elkhart.
