New park in DuPont

Quadrant Corp. is setting aside just over 24 acres in the city’s planned community, Northwest Landing, for the new Savannah Oaks Community Park. It will include a soccer field, a baseball field, trails, picnic tables, a shelter, rest rooms and a play area for small children.

The park is scheduled to open in spring 2006.

Venture Bank will relocate to DuPont

Lacey-based Venture Bank has signed a purchase and sales agreement for a site on which to construct a new headquarters at DuPont Station, a mixed-use retail and office complex in Northwest Landing.

"We're thrilled to have Venture Bank anchor our planned commercial development community," says Mike Rabstoff, a partner of Dupont Station Partners.

"We are disappointed Venture Bank was unable to find a location in Lacey," says Lacey city manager Greg Cuoio. "We know they worked hard to do so. They have been a wonderful community supporter in Lacey and we're certain they will continue to be one even after the move to DuPont."

But Lacey's loss isn't expected to become DuPont's gain for at least two years, says Venture President Jon Jones. That's how long it will be before construction of the planned 50,000 square foot building takes place.

"Our expansion to a new facility just 10 minutes north of our current Lacey headquarters will give us the room to consolidate some administrative functions that are now spread among a number of locations," says Jones.

Venture Bank's notable neighbors in the DuPont Station development will include Intel, State Farm Insurance and the multi-million-dollar Northwest Landing retail and residential complex, managed by Quadrant Corp. Its decision to build in DuPont follows close on the heels of its recent acquisition of Washington Asset Management Co. Tacoma LLC, a Tacoma financial services company that combined with Venture's existing financial services division, forming a new company called Venture Wealth Management. Both moves are in keeping with the Bank's strategic plan, which focuses on growth along the I-5 corridor, while retaining its Northwest-centric orientation. Called Lacey Bank when it formed in 1979, the bank was renamed First Community Bank in 1981. It became Venture Bank in 2003.

New Retail Coming

Construction of two 8,000 square foot retail buildings will begin Nov. 1 at McNeil Station at Northwest Landing and provide the space for additional services and amenities in the community. To date, approximately 50 percent of the available 16,000 square feet is accounted for by a variety of new retail businesses. These include a Starbucks Coffee drive-through (our second Starbucks!), Subway, Great Clips, Dry Cleaning Station, Pho restaurant, Silver Nails and Jiffy Lube. Already located at McNeil Station is the 60-room GuestHouse International Inn & Suites.

Construction is expected to be complete by May 2005. The retail buildings will occupy approximately 2.5 acres of the four acre plot and Madison Development Group, the property's owner, is currently seeking a buyer for the remaining 1.5 acres.
