Bremer Bank Opens New Downtown Commercial Building

(KNSI) – The old St. Cloud City Hall site is once again bustling with activity.

Bremer Bank held a grand opening at its new 20,000 square-foot building at the corner of 2nd Street South and 5th Avenue South earlier this week, constructed where the former municipal center once stood. Known as Highbanks Plaza, the bank is the anchor for the property. Over 60 employees work at the location.

St. Cloud moved its city hall to the old Tech High School on 7th Street South in March 2022. Crews began demolishing the old site in late July of last year. Highbanks Plaza saw its first tenants move in less than 13 months later.

Bremer President and CEO Jeanne Crain says, “With this new downtown location, we will continue to provide value-added financial services to central Minnesotans in a more modern and personalized environment that drives partnership and value for our customers.”

St. Cloud Mayor Dave Kleis says the project has implications that stretch well beyond the lot’s boundaries. “A vibrant downtown St. Cloud is crucial part of a vibrant central Minnesota, and this development is one of those important pieces as we continue to modernize downtown.”
