Prince George, B.C.- Hundreds of members, neighbours friends and staff turned out for the grand opening of the new Integris Professional Centre at 5th and Central in Prince George today.
The new $4 million dollar facility is not just a place to do banking, President and CEO David Bird says it’s a “one stop shop”. The new facility will offer banking services, financial planning, a notary , and insurance.
“Everyone’s so busy” says Bird “If we have a notary on site and you’ve done a mortgage, it’s a one stop shop, even insurance on the house you can get that here. We’re trying to make things more efficient because everyone’s busy these days.”
Integris has grwon from a small privately run operation that started in 1946. Since 1975 it has grown from just under 5 thousand members and $5.7 million in assets to 25,000 members and $660 million in assets.
The new facility also boasts a community room ” The Wheatley Community Room is a space for community builders to connect, share ideas and drive change – a separate entrance means it can be used after hours” says Bird.
The new facility means staff and services previously offered at the 5th and Ahbau location move to the new site.

What a transformation that was to the old structure making it look new again! Good location too.
It is a nice looking building but the front has those bare wooden uprights that have an unfinished appearance. Very odd looking, in my opinion. Other than that, quite nice!
I wonder how does the board of directors feel now after they paid a premium to this contractor who claimed to be able to complete the job before the end of July.
Nicer than than the WIDC
Very nice addition to our “strip” ..the wood accents are a nice touch… A lot better than the old porn store :)
AHHHH p Val you visited there as well :) there was also a donut shop there back in the day.
Local contractors, local jobs, first class renovation to a 35 year old building in a prominent location. Well done!
metalman.
The architects are not local ….. we lost all our local architects.
The firm that designed the building is RATIO from Vancouver.
The building that was transformed was from another era. It was nothing outstanding, but it was not an eyesore either.
The new look that we now see will look just as dated in 35 years.
Gee when I drew out all my cash I didn’t think they would have enough money left for such a project.
They also provide automobile insurance which wasn’t mentioned or used too..
Cheers
