Holland Construction Services Begins Work On Two National City Bank Facilities


July 28, 2006

Two National City Bank branches are currently under way by Holland Construction Services - one in Collinsville and one in Waterloo - with both slated for completion by summer's end.

Each branch will consist of approximately 3,500 square feet and feature a large open customer lobby, private offices and conference rooms.

The $1.1 million bank in Waterloo is all brick construction with an architectural metal roof, three drive-up lanes and a drive-up automatic teller machine. The Waterloo branch will mark the first National City Bank in the Metro East. The similar bank facility in Collinsville is a $1 million project and will also offer a drive-up ATM and three convenient drive-up service lanes.

"National City chose Holland Construction first and foremost due to its outstanding reputation in Southwestern Illinois," said Andrew Baker, National City executive vice president of retail banking. "Our experience with Holland has been outstanding, and the bank plans to continue to work with the company on future banks in Illinois as well as Missouri."

The Collinsville and Waterloo branches are the first two of several National City branches going up in Illinois - with one planned for O'Fallon and one in Edwardsville to provide added convenience for the bank's customers.
