Pathfinder Bank desired a presence in the downtown Syracuse market place. They decided Pike Block, an urban mixed-use redevelopment project, and a VIP development in the heart of downtown Syracuse, was the perfect fit.

In 2014 Upon lease execution, our architects and engineers crafted a modern aesthetic that played off of Pike Block’s historic charm. Our construction team executed the plan, delivering a truly remarkable space and providing Pathfinder’s clients with a space that drew a positive reaction upon walking through the door.

Five years later, Pathfinder expanded their footprint in order to continue servicing their growing clientele. The expanded floor plan provided a new conference room, private offices, open workspaces and a large break room.

After the success of their Pike Block Branch, VIP’s design-build team worked with pathfinder once again on a historic renovation of a mansion into a new bank branch in an undeserved neighborhood of Syracuse. Pathfinder Bank W Onondaga Branch opened in 2022.

“Without a doubt, VIP epitomizes excellence in every facet of their operations. Whether it’s their meticulous property management or access to their talented pool of professionals with design/build proficiency, they consistently excel in all areas. Their unwavering professionalism and commitment to exceptional service make them an invaluable business partner, and even better landlords. Working with them has been an absolute pleasure, and we wholeheartedly recommend VIP as a true ally in our endeavors,” said Kari Hibbert, Vice President, Facilities.
