QCR Holdings, Inc. Breaks Ground on New Bettendorf Headquarters
Today, May 15th, QCR Holdings, Inc., the parent company of Quad City Bank & Trust (QCBT), officially broke ground on their new corporate headquarters in Bettendorf. The development is located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Forest Grove Drive and Middle Road.
The new site will not only serve as the central hub for QCR Holdings but will also house a brand-new consumer banking branch of Quad City Bank & Trust, becoming the sixth branch location for QCBT. As the local bank with the largest deposit market share in the Quad Cities region, this new facility signifies a continued investment in the community by QCR Holdings, Inc. and Quad City Bank & Trust.
“We will use the groundbreaking festivities to offer our thanks to our partners, including Russell Construction, Streamline Architects, Conceptual Design, Inc, IMEG and Confluence,” said Laura “Divot” Ekizian, President & CEO of QCBT. “Each one is sharing their unique skills and talents to create this new headquarters. QCRH and QCBT are also committed to supporting our local trades and will be signing an IMPACT Agreement for this project.”
“We are committed to this community, it’s who we are. Whether it’s through our community partnerships or our donations and sponsorships of hundreds of local organizations and events, we’re here for the citizens of the Quad Cities. This new branch provides us with an opportunity to serve the population of the Quad Cities on a wider scale,” said Laura “Divot” Ekizian, President and CEO of QCBT. “We think our expanded presence will not only enhance our customers’ experience but will bring the community to us in ways we haven’t yet experienced.” The new building will provide more of a ‘campus’ feel, and the bank and its holding company expect to have the ability to host community events and share their green spaces.
Quad City Bank & Trust is one of four wholly-owned subsidiary banks within QCR Holdings, Inc. These banks provide full-service commercial and consumer banking, as well as trust and wealth management services. Employees within the holding company provide support services for all the banks, providing consistent, efficient, and shared solutions. “Our unique structure allows us to remain true to our roots as relationship-driven community bankers, while having the ability to offer the clout of a larger institution,” said Todd Gipple, newly-named President and CEO of QCRH.
