Ground broken on new six-story building in Fremont

Fremont Bank is breaking ground on a new 34,000-sq.-ft. headquarters.

The building will house its main branch financial center, along with executive, administrative, and foundation staff. The building will be a prominent feature of the downtown Fremont revitalization project, and a tangible representation of the community bank’s ongoing commitment to the Tri-City and surrounding areas.

The six-story structure at 39150 Fremont Blvd. is expected to be completed by fall 2022.

The building will include: all-glass frontage; a two-story grand hall; special electrochromic glass – tintable glass controlled by gas – on two sides; satellite dish on the roof will record ambient light and the sun’s position; unique “fins” on the facade will provide visual interest and also work in concert with the electrochromic glass for sun control as the sun tracks around the building; changeable, colored LED lights on the fins; 1,500-sq.-ft. garden rooftop entertainment space with kitchen and bar; and striking rooftop trellis visible from the street.
