First Commerce Bank celebrated a significant milestone with their groundbreaking ceremony, August 7th, for their new operations center in Lewisburg, TN. This will be just the first step in their multi-phase campus expansion plan. This project represents a strategic investment in the bank’s infrastructure and commitment to serving the local community with enhanced operational capabilities.

The centerpiece of the expansion is a new 17,704-square-foot operations center that will significantly enhance the bank’s day-to-day efficiency and functionality. The state-of-the-art facility will feature multiple offices, storage rooms, and specialized workspaces designed to support various departments and streamline banking operations.

“We are very excited about completing this project so we can better serve our customers as we grow. We can’t say thank you enough to our customers in all the communities we serve for the unwavering support the last twenty years. Thank you also for your patience during this project and we apologize for any inconvenience during this construction process,” said Luke Buckley, President/CEO.

The comprehensive project will extend beyond expansion to include interior renovations of the existing two-story main office building and the current operations building. These improvements will create a more unified and collaborative campus environment designed to support staff productivity and enhance overall operations.

First Commerce Bank was founded by a group of local individuals who recognized the need for a locally owned and managed community bank. Backed by over 1,000 shareholders, the bank has grown steadily thanks to strong community support and a commitment to personalized service. First Commerce Bank has offices in Lewisburg, Chapel Hill, Fayetteville, Murfreesboro and Shelbyville, Tennessee. Guided by the belief that people and community come first, the bank remains dedicated to building lasting relationships and being a trusted financial partner.

First Commerce Bank partnered with Eclipse Brand Builders to provide turnkey design-build services for the project, including architecture, engineering, interior design, and full-time on-site construction management. The collaboration ensures that all aspects of the development will meet the bank’s specific operational needs while maintaining high standards of design and functionality.
