Busey Bank pounced on shuttered Cherry Creek space.
The Illinois-based firm opened a branch last week at 101 University Blvd., the former home of KeyBank’s financial planning office before its 2023 closing.
The 6,400-square-foot space is the third Colorado outpost for Busey. It has one in the Denver Tech Center and another in Colorado Springs. Those two were former branches of CrossFirst Bank, a Kansas-based institution that Busey acquired earlier this year.
Busey spokeswoman Kristen Bosch said the new branch has all the features of a typical location, in addition to things like wealth management, commercial lending and mortgage services.
“Expanding here allows us to enhance convenience for clients in the area, provide a modern base of operations for our growing Colorado team and further invest in a community where we see great potential to serve both individuals and businesses,” she said.
The four-story, 54,000-square-foot office building at 101 University Blvd. is owned by MDC Realty Advisors, which bought it for $26 million in 2019.
