A commercial real estate broker’s sign in front of the former bank branch advertises it as available commercial space. Tens of thousands of vehicles pass by the property on Rt. 309 on a weekly basis.
There was a time when new bank branches seemed to be springing up everywhere, but due to the increasing popularity of online banking, those days are largely over.
A number of financial institutions have closed branches in the Lehigh Valley in recent years due to a decline in demand for in-person services.
One of those former branches is located along a busy stretch of Rt. 309 in the borough of Coopersburg, Lehigh County.
The vacant building that once house a Lafayette Ambassador bank is currently available for lease.
Located at 317 E. Landis Street, Coopersburg, it has two attached drive-thru lanes, which could potentially be repurposed by a food establishment or coffee shop.
Specifically, in Hellertown over the past decade or so, two former banks have been remodeled to become a Starbucks and a Dunkin Donuts, respectively.
According to the listing for the Coopersburg property on the James Balliet Property Group website, it “can be easily converted to fit many retail/office/medical prototypes.”
