Coastway Bank breaks ground on new office

Coastway Community Bank recently began construction of their inaugural prototype branch office. Designed by Vision 3 Architects of Providence, the new 3,800 s/f branch office located on Comstock Parkway becomes their ninth branch location in the state. E. Turgeon Construction Corp. is the construction manager. Through the use of quality, traditional materials, the architecture is simple, appealing, and tactile. A combination of brick, masonry stone and glass are the predominant skin materials used to create a signature building that is respectful of its neighborhood. The interior building design promotes the institution's brand. The building's use of glass and open plan is a deliberate effort to maintain a highly visible, open and inviting environment and suggests the openness and inviting nature of Coastway Community Bank's commitment to its clients.
