Fulton Bank, a leading community bank in the Mid-Atlantic region, has announced its lease of a retail space and expected late Summer opening at the highly anticipated 3.0 University Place in Philadelphia. As the completion of this cutting-edge life sciences showcase building draws near, Fulton Bank’s decision is already generating interest. 

3.0 University Place, a 250,000 sq. ft. life sciences hub, is set to open in March 2023, revolutionizing possibilities in Philadelphia and beyond. With cutting-edge laboratory space, GMP facilities, vivarium capabilities, and retail opportunities on Market Street, it caters to cell/gene therapy, critical cure research, and modernized lab infrastructure. 

“We’re excited to be opening another financial center here in Philadelphia, which will allow us to engage with the local community in this vibrant neighborhood,” said Curt Myers, Fulton Financial Corporation Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “This is an important part of our strategic growth plan and we are delighted to partner with University Place Associates on this project.”

This move not only aligns with Fulton Bank’s expansion plans but also underscores its dedication to fostering innovation and connecting with local communities. Fulton Bank’s presence will contribute to the vibrancy and diversity of the retail offerings within the life sciences campus, ensuring a dynamic and thriving environment for all.

Late in 2019, Fulton Bank launched a brand-new division to support emerging Life Science and Technology companies with a unique philosophy that goes beyond just evaluating the balance sheet fundamentals of traditional lending.  Their innovative financial solutions model addresses the unique needs of this market.

Creating the Epitome of Health in Commercial Spaces

Positioned in the heart of University City, an esteemed hub for life sciences, 3.0 University Place achieved LEED® and WELL® Platinum certifications, and stands as the first U.S. life science building prioritizing health and wellness within its community.  

Fulton Bank’s decision to establish a financial center within this visionary space reflects its unwavering commitment to providing customers with healthy and innovative banking experiences. By incorporating LEED principles into the design, the banking area benefits from ample natural light, which enhances the overall banking experience and underscores Fulton Bank’s dedication to customer satisfaction.

Proximity and Strategic Growth

Proximity to both commercial and residential areas remains a top priority for Fulton Bank as it continues its expansion endeavors. The selection of 3.0 University Place aligns seamlessly with this objective, offering an ideal location that caters to the University City and West Philadelphia communities. Nestled within a world-class lab and office space, Fulton Bank’s financial center will be at the forefront of engaging with the local community, facilitating stronger connections, and delivering personalized financial solutions. By strategically positioning its financial centers, Fulton Bank bolsters its ability to serve customers effectively and become an indispensable part of their financial journey.

Fulton Bank’s expansion at 3.0 University Place marks a significant milestone in its growth strategy, reaffirming its position as a leading bank for Life Science and Technology companies in the Mid-Atlantic region. By joining this innovative and sustainable life sciences showcase building, Fulton Bank not only strengthens its ability to provide exceptional financial services but also demonstrates its unwavering dedication to engaging with and supporting local communities.
