Mountain West Bank opened its renovated headquarters and newest branch at 608 Northwest Boulevard in Coeur d'Alene. The 44,000-square-foot building brings together teams that previously worked across two buildings and several suites on Ironwood Drive.
Why it matters
The consolidation places commercial banking, mortgage, treasury management, and operations under one roof in the bank's hometown city. Mountain West Bank stated it intends to remain headquartered in Coeur d'Alene, where it started in 1993.
The four-story building spans 44,000 square feet and houses approximately 125 employees, up from a footprint spread across two buildings and several Ironwood Drive suites. The renovation took 14 months, and the extraction does not disclose its cost.
