Wells Fargo bank has opened a new downtown New Haven branch at 956 Chapel St., across from the Green.

The branch was previously located at 205 Church St., before the new site renovation was completed Nov. 12.

Kent McClun, Wells Fargo region bank president, said the new branch benefits from a strong location near the city’s universities, restaurants, shopping and hotels.

“The opening of our new downtown New Haven branch is another step forward in creating a more modern, open, and community-centric branch network for our customers,” McClun said. 

Bank officials said the new branch “aligns with Wells Fargo’s strategy of creating a more neighborhood-focused branch network and modernizing its retail footprint for both employees and customers.”

Designed by Longo Architects, the 2,700-square-foot space features an interactive digital board, a customer lounge area, two ATM machines, new teller windows, new consulting desks, a private meeting room, and free public Wi-Fi.

The space is also in line with Wells Fargo’s corporate social responsibility commitment, officials said, and it is designed and built to U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design standards. 

Green features include LED lights, low-flow water fixtures, low toxicity paints and materials, as well as the use of building materials composed of recycled content.

Steve Patten of the Proto Group represented Wells Fargo in the acquisition, along with Justin Goldberg of the Navarino Property Group in Shelton.
