Bank takes new rooftop signage on Durham office
Los Angeles — Aug. 27, 2025 — Banc of California is expanding its visibility in Raleigh-Durham with new rooftop signage at its office in downtown Durham, adjacent to the Durham Bulls Athletic Park. The signage, atop the 11-story office building at 555 S. Mangum St., will be visible from the stadium, which is home to the Durham Bulls Minor League Baseball team, as well as the Duke Blue Devils and North Carolina Central Eagles college baseball organizations.
Banc of California’s Durham office now employs nearly 100 team members in venture banking, IT, marketing and affordable housing. The bank’s increased visibility demonstrates its longstanding commitment to the Raleigh-Durham community, where it started as Square 1 Bank in 2005. Its tradition of corporate philanthropy in the region includes a $25,000 donation to flood relief in 2024, which the governor recognized on the state’s list of top donors.
“We’re honored to be part of Raleigh-Durham’s history and its future. Our decision to put our name on this building is not just about visibility – it’s about showing our commitment to local businesses, communities, and our colleagues and clients in this vibrant region,” said Jared Wolff, Chairman and CEO of Banc of California. “We look forward to supporting this area’s growth with the same dedication and personal service that define Banc of California.”
