NEWARK – City National Bank, one of the largest West Coast banks that’s known as the “bank to the stars,” is planning a major expansion in Delaware.

The 35th largest bank in the country with more than $95 billion in assets, City National Bank has operated a trust office in the Linden Park office complex for several years. The company recently signed a lease for 30,000 square feet in the Buccini/Pollin Group-owned Iron Hill Corporate Center near Newark, according to Justin Rowley, a senior vice president of City National.

The new space will be home to a major workforce expansion for City National, growing its headcount by more than 475% in adding 250 new positions over the next few years and investing nearly $9 million into the project. That hiring is expected to begin in early 2023.

According to City National’s submissions to the state, the jobs include 106 business analysts and operations specialists earning an average annual salary of $60,000, 104 operations team leads and project managers earning $70,000 on average annually and 40 top managers earning average annual salaries of $160,000.

The state’s public-private economic development organization, the Delaware Prosperity Partnership, has been working with City National since July on the project, and was reportedly considering other sites along the East Coast.

Geography played an important part to City National’s decision to come to Delaware, as it is equidistant to the bank’s hubs in New York and Washington, D.C., and close to the Philadelphia International Airport, which offers direct flights to Los Angeles.

Several of City National’s senior East Coast executives also work out of the current Pike Creek-area office, including Rowley, who is a Dewey Beach resident and a University of Delaware grad.

“We know the state very well. Many of the colleagues who work in our current state office have long-term and tenured experience with the state of Delaware. We know the talent and the university systems, and we know it can uniquely support our expanding growth,” Rowley told the CDF on Monday morning.

To support its expansion, the state’s job investment board, the Council on Development Finance, unanimously signed off Monday on a more than $3.53 million package of grants. That includes more than $2.75 million in a job performance grant to create the 253 jobs, $270,000 in a capital expenditure grant to support fit-out of its new offices and up to $500,000 for a workforce training grant.

The 68-year-old, Los Angeles-based bank is well-known for catering to Hollywood movie stars, helping to earn its moniker of “bank to the stars.” City National offers a full suite of personal, private and business banking, including wealth management, brokerage and leasing services, and software solutions. While supportive of customer needs, the Delaware workforce is not planned to be client-facing and focus on administrative and back-office needs, Rowley said.

Despite its roots in the City of Angels, the bank was acquired in 2015 by Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), the largest bank in Canada. Rowley said that while RBC is active in the management of City National, the American bank does have a large degree of autonomy in its work.

At Iron Hill Corporate Center, City National will be joining an office workforce that has seen a refresh in recent years, including the arrival of Discover’s workforce.

When asked about its decision to invest in a large office space as remote working has increased nationwide, Rowley said City National is actually seeing more of its colleagues desire a return to offices for at least a part of their work week.

“We are not finding that work-from-home is going to be a permanent fixture in the workplace and for the banking industry specifically; and we’re actually seeing a demand from people to have either an office presence or hybrid presence,” he explained. “It’s the reason why we’re looking to expand our physical presence and building a location that is new, fresh, enticing, and actually can build that collaborative work experience. So, we actually think that the expanded office presence … will help us with our recruitment.”

Newark, DE – June 13, 2014 — Bloom Energy and the Food Bank of Delaware officially marked the opening of the “Gardens at Bloom” at the Bloom Energy Manufacturing Center in Newark, Delaware.

State Senator Bryan Townsend, New Castle County Councilwoman Lisa Diller, City of Newark Mayor Polly Sierer and City Manager Carol Houck, along with Food Bank of Delaware President and CEO Patricia Beebe joined the Bloom Energy Delaware team to celebrate the completion of the first community garden at a Delaware business in support of the Food Bank. The over 200-square-foot garden was built by Bloom Energy employees and utilized scrap materials from the manufacturing facility. Bloom Energy volunteers will maintain the garden for year round production of produce.

The Food Bank of Delaware supports local programs in all three Delaware counties including free summer meals, low and no-cost food programs and emergency food. Approximately 17,500 different people receive food assistance through the Food Bank of Delaware’s network of hunger-relief partners in any given week, serving more than 240,000 people each year.

“As our team here in Newark continues to grow and become a greater part of the Newark community, we are proud to join in support with the Food Bank,” Bloom Energy’s Vice President for Operations, Barry Sharpe said. “With the open space we have on site, along with creating ways to recycle extra pallet material, partnering with the Food Bank seemed only natural.”

”We are thrilled to be partnering with Bloom Energy on this important community garden,” said Food Bank of Delaware President and CEO. “Produce grown here will be distributed directly to Delawareans struggling to put meals on the table. We are hoping that more local businesses will follow Bloom Energy’s lead and grow a garden to benefit Delawareans.”

Senator Townsend, Newark, had this to say, “I am excited to see Bloom Energy partnering with the Food Bank of Delaware. The fruits of this garden project will be much more than the produce grown — it will be the knowledge that Bloom is a burgeoning corporate citizen in Delaware, and able and willing to work with the Food Bank to provide long-term support to those Delawareans most in need.”

A developer wants to give a small shopping center on Kirkwood Highway a face-lift and replace a shuttered gas station with a Wawa, according to plans filed to New Castle County.

Astro Shopping Center next to the Newark Farmers Market and across from Western YMCA in Milltown is currently home to the likes of Hooters, Red Wing Shoes and the Mexican restaurant El Jefe.

The redevelopment plan would see the entire shopping center renovated with a new facade. Wawa would take over the property east of the existing strip center formerly home to Diamond Gas and build a new convenience store and gas pumps at Meadowood Drive and Kirkwood Highway.

DELAWARE DEVELOPMENT: Wegmans, Amazon, Christiana Mall and more changes to expect in Delaware this year and beyond

The project is slated to be built out in 2023, according to documents submitted to the county by developer Fusco Management. It does not require a rezoning or other special stipulations.

The plans call for a drive-thru fast-food restaurant to be constructed in the parking lot near the road. A section of the existing strip center next to Hooters would be demolished and replaced with parking. Fusco has not shared a tenant for the fast-food restaurant.

Land use attorney Michael Hoffman said he's unsure what the new facade would look like. The existing buildings have tan brick and green roofs with the exception of Hooters, which is bright orange.

The shopping center has several vacancies. In recent years, a Hibachi restaurant, a Pepperidge Farm outlet and a martial arts studio have closed.

Astro Shopping Center is one of several centers Fusco is updating. Its most notable project is The Grove at Newark, which will bring new shops, restaurants and more than 300 housing units to the former College Square shopping center.

What three historic places in Delaware belong on everyone's bucket list?

Because it's the first U.S. state, it's not surprising that Delaware is home to many historic places. Listed below are three historic places in Delaware that we believe belong on everyone's bucket list.

1. Old Swedes Historic Site in Wilmington Holy Trinity Church, which is best known as Old Swedes, is the nation's oldest church building that's used for worship today. It was established in 1698 and its cemetery is the final resting place for many notable Delawareans. It was originally built for Swedish settlers around Fort Christina.

2. Fort Christina in Wilmington Built in 1638, Fort Christina was North America's first Swedish settlement. There is a beautiful monument at the site now.

3. Town of Odessa The Town of Odessa was founded in 1731. Its original name was Cantwell's Bridge, and it was once a busy shipping town for goods such as corn, wheat, produce, and tobacco. Today, the town of Odessa is home to about 350 people and is one of Delaware's most charming small towns.

What's one of the most popular historical monuments in Delaware?

There are several historical monuments located throughout the state of Delaware. One of the most popular monuments is Cooch's Bridge. The only Revolutionary War battle fought in Delaware was the Battle of Cooch's Bridge. This was also the first time the flag was flown in battle. Unfortunately, the British won. Sadly, the original bridge didn't survive the war. However, today there's a monument at the site of the bridge that you can visit.
