First City Bank Brings Community Banking to Downtown Alpharetta
ALPHARETTA, GA — First City Bank is bringing locally focused community banking to the heart of downtown Alpharetta, establishing its first location in the former Wells Fargo building at 21 North Main Street.
Brian Patton, founder and principal of Brian Patton Commercial, served as one of the bank’s organizers, currently serves on its Advisory Board, and represented the institution in negotiating the lease for its new headquarters.
Founded by a group of local business leaders and experienced banking professionals, First City Bank was established to provide relationship-driven banking with local leadership and decision-making. The bank raised more than $22 million from local investors, reflecting strong community support for the new institution.
“Having spent more than three decades working in Alpharetta, it’s especially rewarding to help establish a locally owned bank in the heart of downtown,” said Patton. “The location provides excellent visibility and accessibility while reinforcing the bank’s commitment to the community it serves.”
The transaction reflects Brian Patton Commercial’s longstanding involvement in community growth and its commitment to helping businesses and institutions establish a lasting presence in North Georgia.
