"The opening of the Hughes Center facility represents City National's commitment to growing its presence in Nevada and having experienced personnel manage these facilities," said John Guedry, executive vice president and Nevada region manager of City National Bank. "We are excited to have Wayne and Jamie at this location to service our core banking customers as well as our new wealth management and private banking clients."
Guedry added that the Hughes Center branch will provide the bank with a strategic location from which to deliver its wealth management and private banking services in southern Nevada. "City National's reputation in this area is very strong," he said. "For six straight years, Barron's magazine has named City National to its list of the nation's top wealth managers, and Euromoney magazine recently listed the bank in the top 15 nationally in equity and fixed income management as well as trust services."
City National's newest branch is located on the ground floor of the newly opened and most recent addition to the Howard Hughes Center development near Flamingo and Paradise Roads. The branch, which is part of this Class "A" 10 story office building, has 4,230 square feet of space and adjacent covered reserved parking. The facility has four core banking platform desks, four teller stations, three Private Banking offices and one support workstation, a shared conference room, vault and safe deposit boxes, and 24/7 ATM and night depository.
In its ongoing efforts to build environmentally friendly and more efficient facilities, the Bank used "Green Building" materials to construct this new facility. The bank's Hughes Center location is open for business Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The main telephone number for this facility is 968-2240
