A banking leader with a large presence in Lake Mary plans to expand its Central Florida footprint, adding a “significant number of jobs” to the region in the process.
BNY Mellon, a New York-based financial institution, will create one unified campus across two locations that will expand its site by 200,000 square feet.
The company did not say how many jobs would be added to its already existing workforce of 1,200 in the area.
“Lake Mary is an important location for us globally, and we believe in the local community and its top talent,” said Alejandro Pérez, chief administrative officer at BNY Mellon, in a news release. “We’re excited to continue expanding our presence in Florida and remain committed to serving our clients across the state.”
The additions will include expansion of its cutting-edge office space at 600 Colonial Center Parkway along with renovations of an additional 100,000 square feet down the road at 300 Colonial Center Parkway.
The project should be complete next year for the company, which established its presence in the region in 2001.
Orlando Economic Partnership leaders reached out to BNY Mellon last year as they considered an expansion.
“We are thrilled to see BNY Mellon’s expansion in Lake Mary, a move that underscores the region’s economic vibrancy as a global business hub,” said Tim Giuliani, OEP president and CEO.
