Banc of California, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Banc of California Inc. (NYSE: BANC), is making a significant move in downtown Los Angeles by securing an 11-year office lease for 40,000 square feet. This strategic step will allow the bank to display its name and logo prominently on the skyline, enhancing its visibility and commitment to the area.
During a recent statement, Jared Wolff, the Chairman and CEO of Banc of California, expressed his enthusiasm for the city, noting, "We moved our headquarters to Los Angeles two years ago because we believe in this city and in the power of the entrepreneurs and businesses that call it home." He emphasized that California ranks as the fourth largest economy globally, with Los Angeles being a major contributor to its growth. The expansion reinforces the bank's dedication to the greater LA market and its pride in being part of the community.
The new office will be located at 865 S. Figueroa St., a well-known fixture in the downtown skyline. The relocation from the current office on Figueroa Street signifies a crucial time for the city, especially with upcoming global events like the 2026 World Cup and the 2028 Olympics. The bank will maintain its downtown branch at 900 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 100, maintaining accessibility for its clients.
This move is part of a broader growth strategy for Banc of California, which recently expanded its operations in Beverly Hills and New York City. In June, the bank enhanced its corporate office in New York with a move to a prominent Park Avenue location. Earlier, in March, it upgraded its corporate office in Beverly Hills, adding recognizable signage atop a historic building on Wilshire Blvd.
As the largest independent bank headquartered in Los Angeles and the third largest bank in California, Banc of California serves a diverse clientele. The bank offers full-service branches across California, as well as in Denver, Colorado, and Durham, North Carolina, supplemented by regional offices throughout the nation.
Real estate representatives Jonathan Dezzutti, Jacob Bobek, and Blake Mirkin of CBRE facilitated this transaction, reflecting the strategic growth Banc of California is pursuing in key markets.
