ALBANY, New York, Oct. 6, 2026 — Beacon Bank has installed a new rooftop sign atop the 14-story building that’s home to its regional headquarters at 30 South Pearl St., reinforcing its long-term commitment and prominent presence in downtown Albany and the Capital Region.
"The sign says, ‘Beacon Bank,’ but what it really means is that we’re planting our flag in downtown Albany and plan to help the region’s economy grow for years to come,” said James J. Morris IV, president of the bank for the Capital Region.
More than 50 employees work in the bank’s 30 South Pearl St. offices, in departments that include commercial banking, private banking, retail banking and operational support functions. It’s been the bank’s regional headquarters since 2018.
The bank also recently completed a multimillion-dollar branch renovation project that included seven locations in the Capital Region, including the branch on the ground floor of 30 South Pearl Street and another on Central Avenue in Albany. Other locations that were renovated are in Amsterdam, Latham, Delmar, Queensbury, New Lebanon and North Greenbush.
“Our branch network and our regional headquarters are both important parts of how we serve the Capital Region,” Morris said. “Our branches are our relationship hubs, and we’re committed to investing in an elevated client experience by creating modern, welcoming spaces where they can receive personalized guidance from bankers with industry-leading expertise.”
The project modernized and brightened interiors, enhanced functionality, and updated interior and exterior signage. Thanks to careful planning and coordination, all renovations were completed on time, on budget, and with minimal disruption to daily operations.
In total, Beacon Bank operates eight branches in the Capital Region, including locations in Albany (2), Amsterdam, Delmar, Latham, North Greenbush, New Lebanon and Queensbury.
