NBT Bank Celebrates New Eastern NY Regional Headquarters

Albany, NY (August 26, 2025) – NBT Bank marked a major milestone in its continued investment in the Capital Region with a ribbon cutting ceremony celebrating the opening of its new Eastern New York Regional Headquarters at 677 Broadway in downtown Albany.

The event commemorated the completion of 15,000 square feet of newly renovated Class A office space on the building’s fifth floor. The new headquarters underscores NBT’s commitment to Downtown Albany and supports the bank’s growing presence in the region.

“NBT Bank has served the Capital Region for 25 years. As the fourth largest bank in the region with over 300 team members based here, we needed office space to reflect our growing presence,” said Al Testa, who oversees NBT operations in Eastern New York and Connecticut, and serves as regional president for the Capital Region. “Serving as a central hub for our regional team and our customers, our new offices at 677 Broadway reinforce our long-term commitment to the Capital Region and support our growth across NBT’s seven-state footprint.”

NBT has served the Capital Region since 2000 and currently operates 26 branches across Albany, Fulton, Montgomery, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schoharie and Warren counties.

“The decision by NBT Bank to establish its new regional headquarters in downtown Albany is a tremendous vote of confidence in the strength and future of Albany and the Capital Region. This investment brings jobs and economic energy to the heart of our community,” said Mark Eagan, president and CEO of the Capital Region Chamber and the Center for Economic Growth. He continued, “Our deep appreciation to NBT, their commitment to businesses throughout our region has fueled investment, job creation, and prosperity.”

NBT Bank’s nearby branch location at 54 State Street was recently renovated, and the bank continues to operate its newly renovated Capital Region Financial Center at 80 Wolf Road, which includes a full-service branch, ATM and office space for employees representing many of NBT’s departments and divisions.

In addition to the ribbon cutting, NBT Bank presented a $5,000 contribution to Trinity Alliance of the Capital Region. Trinity Alliance supports healthy families, adults and children by strengthening neighborhoods and promoting well-being.

“We are incredibly grateful to NBT Bank for their generous investment in Trinity Alliance’s mission to address housing insecurity and promotion of homeownership,” said Daquetta Jones, Chief Executive Officer of Trinity Alliance of the Capital Region, Inc. “This gift reflects NBT Bank’s continued commitment to strengthening communities and supporting equitable access to housing. We extend special thanks to Al Testa for his advocacy and partnership in making this happen. We are also deeply thankful for the leadership of our Board President, Christian Brooks, and Vice President, April Ulrich, whose dedicated leadership plays a vital role in advancing our mission.”
