Commercial Real Estate

Walking through the front door you immediately know you are not in a traditional bank. The typical, run-of-the-mill banking institution doesn’t exist here. There are no teller lines. Space is open and full of natural light. Vi-brant colors elegantly and beauti-fully reflect the North American Indian culture.

Native American Bank is clearly different. Its new corpo-rate location at 201 North Broad-way in Denver displays the pride of the Native American commu-nities. There is a real feeling of unity, reverence, and peace.

The physical attributes of the office are merely an extension of the underlying philosophy of the bank itself. Tom Ogaard, President and CEO of Native American Bank, is a man with a passion for the community he serves. Tom is a leader, warm and personable with a high sense of clarity and purpose. This ded-ication is displayed through the entire leadership team. There is a mission here, starting within the bank to reach out to the people they serve.

There is a need to provide Na-tive Americans access to afford-able, flexible banking, financial services and capital. Ogaard is direct, “It is the key for Native Americans to become self-suf-ficient, achieve economic inde-

pendence, foster job creation and achieve sustainable economic growth.”

But he will tell you that it is deeper than simply providing capital. “It is all about build-ing true lasting friendships and partnerships”, he says, “We col-laborate, provide leadership and access to much needed financial capital, services and resources for Alaska Natives and Native American communities.“

What sets this organization apart from all others is their unmatched expertise and expe-rience effectively dealing with unique issues with Native Amer-ican cultures. Tribal Law, Tribal Governments, Tribal Spiritual Leaders, Tribal Corporations, Alaska Native Corporations, Trust Lands, and Tribal Sover-eignty are all areas unknown to typical lending institutions.

Through their expertise and dedication to these communities, Native American Bank has been the starting point for an abun-dance of successful projects. From a Tribal Justice Center to a Healthcare Clinic, the bank has been instrumental in assist-ing growth in the Native Amer-ican communities. This includes bringing economic development to some of the poorest areas of the country.

Financing has included multi-ple housing projects, community general stores, Tribal infrastruc-ture for roads, water and sewers,

hotels, hospitals and clinics. But that’s just the beginning. Look-ing ahead, there is much more to do. Currently the bank has more than $120 million of new loans in the pipeline.

Back within the new corpo-rate headquarters, the support for future growth couldn’t have come without the dedication of several Denver companies in leading the purchase and renova-tion of the Bank’s new home.

The classic building was the key to this amazing new space. Through the efforts of Jim Tyler, Partner/Advisor of Tenant Strat-egy, a Commercial Real Estate Advisory Service, the building was acquired. As the commer-cial real estate broker represent-ing Native American Banks, Jim was not only able to secure the property for NAB, but was then instrumental in the formation of the entire redevelopment team.

Once in place, the redevelop-ment team was led by Centerre Construction, an award winning commercial contractor. Centerre collaborated with bank owners, architects and sub-contractors in bringing the project to complet-ing on time and on budget.

Making the process more difficult was the permitting pro-cess. Denver’s rapid commercial growth is often a huge barrier in getting permitting completed within strict time lines. Dave Hritz, vice president of Cen-terre Construction, was able to

work with the City and County of Denver to keep the construction moving, hitting the scheduled completion date.

Inside, the creation of an invit-ing, friendly space was the task of Denver based Pear Commercial Workplace Solutions. The build-out included full height glass par-titions and custom stair railings, all specifically designed to cap-ture the culture of Native Ameri-can Bank. With Pear’s assistance

and expertise, the new space is functional, warm and open. Log-ic Integration handled all of the audio/visual needs throughout the bank.

Through the efforts of many people and multiple companies, Native American Bank is now be-ginning a new chapter. Positioned to grow, they will expand their reach, enhance their resources and find more ways to serve the Native American communities.
