Redevelopment Plan for the Seacoast National Bank Corporate Headquarters

On September 22nd, 2025, the Cotleur & Hearing team, lead by George Missimer, presented the redevelopment plan for the Seacoast National Bank corporate headquarters and flagship branch location before the City of Stuart Board of City Commissioners. The proposed redevelopment plan received UNANIMOUS approval from the City Commission, as well as resounding community support due to the Bank’s long history and significant contribution to the shaping of the City of Stuart. Seacoast Bank currently occupies several buildings at the corner of US-1 and Colorado Avenue in Stuart, which have been the bank’s headquarters since 1961. The approved redevelopment plan includes the demolition of an existing 70k+ SF office building and construction of a new 58k SF office building designed by Baker Barrios, as well as a new 252 space 3 level parking garage. Seacoast National Bank traces its history back to 1926 when it was originally chartered as Indian River County Bank. The Bank first came to Stuart in 1933 as Citizen’s Bank of Stuart, and shared a building with Stuart City Hall and the Police/Fire Departments. The Bank moved to their current location in 1961 as First National Bank of Stuart. Today Seacoast National Bank is the 3rd largest publicly traded bank headquartered in Florida and retains the charm and high quality service you would expect from a small town community bank.
