NBT Bank moving Maine regional HQ to new building in Portland

PORTLAND, Maine —NBT Bank is relocating its Maine regional headquarters office in Portland to a new building that has been constructed along the city’s waterfront. 

Norwich–based NBT Bank, a unit of NBT Bancorp (NASDAQ: NBTB), will move the Maine regional office from its current location at 254 Commercial St. in Portland to a location about two blocks away at 5 Widgery Wharf. 

The bank’s staff of seven will occupy newly-developed space on the third floor of the three-story building. The new office is a “more visible and convenient location” that will “enhance the services we provide to our commercial customers and offer new options for retail customers,” Florence Doller NBT’s director of corporate communications, tells CNYBJ in an email. NBT will also have a new walk-up ATM nearby on Commercial Street.

NBT Bancorp’s EPIC Retirement Plan Services subsidiary, based in Rochester, also has 11 employees in Portland, who will move to new space on the second floor of the 5 Widgery Wharf structure, according to Doller.

These new NBT Bancorp offices will occupy a total of about 7,500 square feet in the 18,000-square-foot building and are on track to open in mid-November, she adds.

The new building will also be home to F.L.Putnam Investment Management Company, a New England–based investment management and financial planning firm. The building was constructed by Ducas Construction of Scarborough, Maine, while Archetype Architects of Portland was the project architect. Malone Commercial Brokers of Portland is the real-estate broker for the building.
