A one-story building in midtown Fort Collins currently housing a well-known restaurant may be repurposed for use as a bank.
Located at 4315 S. College Avenue, the 5,500 square foot structure was built in 1978 and sits on a 4.6-acre site.
Home since the 1990s to the Inca Mexican Restaurant, the building is owned by a Loveland businessman who is thinking about redeveloping it as a new location for a Bank of America outlet.
In conceptual plans submitted to the City of Fort Collins, the repurposed building is seen as having office space and a patio, as well as an automated teller machine drive-up.
The potential new bank location might prove ideal, given that it is adjacent to a one-time Kmart store site currently being redeveloped into a King Soopers grocery store.
Recent drive-up Bank of America locations have ranged in size between around 1,200 square feet, to more than twice that footprint.
Two years ago, the company, with a total Colorado market share in the single digits, announced plans to build just over a dozen new locations, with the goal of becoming the largest banking institution in the Centennial State.
Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, Bank of America currently has more than 4,600 locations worldwide.
When exactly the project in Fort Collins, which is currently under review, will see work has not yet been announced.
