Bank of Birmingham to open in June
More than $10 million has been raised for the newBank of Birmingham, enough to announce plans to open its first branch in June, said Robert Farr, president and CEO of both the bank and its holding company,Birmingham Bloomfield Bancshares.
The holding company began selling stock at $10 a share in November. Farr said the initial public offering is on track to exceed its targeted minimum of $13 million.
“Right now, we’ve got 360 primarily local investors,” said Farr. “At some point we’ll bring in institutional investors, but we wanted to make sure we had a good base of local investors first.”
The branch will be in a former and long-vacantMichigan National Bankbranch on Maple Road, just west of Telegraph Road and next to theMaple Theatrein Bloomfield Township.
Farr said the bank has received township approval to open in a modular, temporary facility in the parking lot while renovation continues on the existing branch.
Farr said the bank’s headquarters at 33583 Woodward, just north of 14 Mile Road in Birmingham, should open by Aug. 1. He said the opening was delayed when the remodeling project turned out to be more extensive than planned, including a new roof.
