WARSAW, Ind.,—Lake City Bank will invest $12 million in the company’s Innovation and Technology Center as part of its Downtown Warsaw Headquarters Campus expansion. The project represents the bank’s continued investment in Warsaw and Kosciusko County, where it has invested $23 million in Downtown Warsaw and $31 million total countywide to date since 2010.
Construction on the 35,600 square foot office building will begin in early September, with completion of the project expected by summer 2026. Originally constructed in 1968 and purchased by Lake City Bank in 2024, the facility will undergo a full interior and exterior transformation to modernize the space.
“Warsaw has been our home since the bank was founded in 1872 and this project continues our 153-year history of continuous investment in our hometown,” said David M. Findlay, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Today, 283 Lake City Bank team members work in Downtown Warsaw, representing the largest employer downtown. The Innovation and Technology Center will provide our team with space to continue our growth as a progressive, technology-driven community bank.
The Innovation and Technology Center will bring a modern design that fits with the bank’s forward-thinking brand identity and complements the architectural character of Downtown Warsaw. The exterior renovations include the removal and structural repair of the existing brick facade, with the original brick preserved and repurposed for the project.
“Lake City Bank relishes opportunities to repurpose older buildings and bring them back to life with major capital investments, as we have done with all six our existing buildings on our Downtown Warsaw Campus and now with the Innovation and Technology Center,” said Kristin L. Pruitt, President. “We’re eager to get to work on the project and look forward to celebrating its completion with the community next summer as we begin a new chapter in Warsaw with this renovation.”
