RUMORED: Citizens Bank Tower (CBT)

[CtownMikey]

That link was my point

but hasnt citizens always said it plans to remain loyal to RI and stick to its roots?

[misterchlo]

just noticed that you posted that link up above.

yeah, citizens may say that, but its a huge corporation now. they make carefully crafted PR statements, and then plan for people's memories to slowly fade. and they're owned by the Bank of Scotland, who I'm sure really don't have much interest in Citizen's RI roots. i'm sure they'll keep operations in the area, but i just can't see some new fancy tower built here for executive types.

They are amazingly bigger than Providence since they are in the New York Metro.

[Garris]

so RBS lost Lasalle but will continue to fight for the rest of ABN?? Meaning it is safe to assume that Citizens wont outgrow Providence like some were concerned? That is how I read it :/

Every time I see action in this thread I think CtownMikey's tower

[Cotuit]

Mikey's slacking. I can't believe he didn't post the latest about Citizens from today's Globe.

Parent firm looks at adding its name to Citizens [The Boston Globe]

[f1rehead]

The name "Citizens Bank" is very generic. In many markets there are existing institutions with similar names; those institutions tend to get PIB (panties in bunch) when similarly-named banks move in. The discussion is how to differentiate Citizens in those markets and nationwide.

OH and add it to the top of a shiny new tower

What kind of anime do you watch where the evil lords build their fortresses out of shiny pink granite?

It's good that the logo is pretty, because I've always thought that Citizens' Bank building looked like an evil lord's fortress out of some wacky anime. Perhaps it could be imploded, and Villa Del Torre built there.

A while ago I heard somebody call the Citizen's Bank Building--based on an aerial photo--the "Triple Nipple." It's hard to shake that interpretation...

[BigUglyCat]

I doubt the logo will change, since it is already RBS' logo.

That must have been me.

No it wasn't ('cuz I know who you are...), but I certainly encourage its dissemination. I first heard the phrase from a former colleague, who heard it from a (now retired) architecture professor.
