SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Bankers Healthcare Group LLC (BHG), which has its financial headquarters at 201 Solar St. in Syracuse, is now leasing additional office space in a nearby building that once served as a fire station.
The company is leasing space in the former Engine 14 fire station located at 238 Division St., the company said in a news release issued Tuesday.
The former fire station is located not far from BHG’s financial-headquarters location. The building, constructed in 1915, housed local firefighters until 1961, BHG said in its news release.
The company has a five-year lease for its 4,700-square-foot space, it said.
BHG is citing “corporate growth and increased demand in the marketplace” for pursuing the additional space. The firm provides personal and commercial loans, credit cards, and insurance services for health-care professionals.
“We moved into our financial headquarters at 201 Solar Street in 2013 and quickly reached the point where every desk was filled,” Al Crawford, CEO of BHG, said in the firm’s news release. “We had to make room for more growth. With its unique characteristics and convenient location directly across the street, the fire station was a perfect fit.”
JGB Properties, LLC owns the property, according to the website of the Onondaga County Department of Real Property Tax Services.
More than 100 of the company’s 270 employees work at its financial headquarters in Syracuse. The local employees include those involved in BHG’s internal-marketing agency, who will move into the firehouse workspace to accommodate the department’s “rapid growth,” the company said.
The firm refers to its leased office space as its national marketing office, according to its website.
BHG’s corporate headquarters are located in Davie, Florida, and it also operates a national sales office in New York City, the website says.
