Project name: Mid Oregon Credit Union headquarters, 557 SW Bluff Dr., Bend.
Developer: Mid Oregon Credit Union
Architect: Steele Associates Architects, Bend.
General contractor: SunWest Builders, Redmond. About 170 workers will be on the site.
Project details: The site will become the headquarters Mid Oregon Credit Union and house 45 of the company’s 150 employees.
It is a three-story, 15,945-square-foot, timber structure for both headquarters and banking use. It will feature full-service banking, a drive-thru teller and ATM lanes on the ground floor.
This will be Mid Oregon’s eighth full-service branch. Mid Oregon is the only financial institution headquartered in Central Oregon.
As part of the new facility, Mid Oregon’s executive leadership, wealth management, commercial services, and several back-office departments will relocate, providing much needed space for the credit union’s staff.
The planned design will feature mass-timber construction, honoring the timber-based history of the Old Mill District and the broader Bend community. It will provide amenities to support a modern office culture, including extensive windows for access to natural light, designated staff engagement/break areas, conference rooms, bike lockers and more.
Expected completion date is the fall of 2024.
