Sanibel Captiva Community Bank has officially opened its second Sanibel location at 1019 Periwinkle Way, located on the east end of the island. This new branch is just two buildings down from their former branch at 1037 Periwinkle Way. In 2021, the bank purchased the John R. Wood building to expand its presence on the island, offering a larger and more modern facility.
After completing construction in September 2022, the new location unfortunately sustained significant damage from Hurricane Ian, necessitating a full reconstruction. As of September 2023, John R. Wood Properties has been occupying a portion of the 5,200-square-foot building, and Sanibel Captiva Community Bank is leasing additional office space to Coastal Title Services of Southwest Florida, which occupies 850 square feet in the rear of the building.
The new location, renovated by Benchmark Construction, boasts several upgraded features, including a drive-thru, electric car charging station, safety deposit boxes, and a small conference room with video conferencing capabilities. A drive-up ATM is also planned for the near future.
“We’re thrilled to have our new east-end location open for business,” said Kyle DeCicco, President and CEO of Sanibel Captiva Community Bank. “Our customers have relied on this location for years, and we’re excited to welcome them back to an improved office space. This is an important step in regaining normalcy and providing a second convenient location on Sanibel.”
Sanibel Captiva Community Bank, founded in 2003, operates eight branches across Lee County. The McGregor Branch in Fort Myers is temporarily operating out of a mobile banking unit due to flood damage, with a new building slated for completion in 2025. The bank is also planning to open a ninth branch on Fort Myers Beach in 2026.
