Concord, NH – North Branch Construction, in celebration with St. Mary’s Bank, marked a milestone recently with the groundbreaking of the new bank branch at 16 Manchester Street in Concord. The new, state-of-the-art facility will feature a full-service bank branch, complete with two drive-through banking lanes.

The groundbreaking ceremony was attended by key members of St. Mary’s Bank and North Branch Construction, including St. Mary’s Bank Chairman of the Board Stephen Grzywacz; Vice Chairman Elizabeth Hitchcock; President and CEO Ken Senus; North Branch Construction President Joseph Campbell; and North Branch Construction CFO Christopher Galbraith.

“We’re thrilled to be a part of this important project for St. Mary’s Bank,” said Campbell. “This new branch will be a great addition to Concord, and we’re proud to bring our experience and expertise in building high-quality commercial facilities to this project. We look forward to delivering a space that reflects St. Mary’s commitment to customer service and community involvement.”

The new Concord branch will include a modern, customer-focused design, with a spacious interior that supports both traditional and digital banking services. The addition of a drive-through teller and drive-up ITM (interactive teller machine) is designed to provide added convenience for members, further enhancing the accessibility of St. Mary’s services.

“We are excited to expand our presence in Concord with a new location that meets the growing needs of our members,” said Senus. “This new branch represents our commitment to providing personalized, community-based banking services in a convenient and accessible setting. We’re also grateful to North Branch Construction for their partnership in bringing this vision to life.”

The groundbreaking marks the start of construction for the 3,700sf single-story building, which is designed to incorporate the latest in banking technology while maintaining the personal touch that St. Mary’s is known for. The facility is scheduled to open to the public in the summer of 2025.
