Henry Yandt Construction is proud to showcase the transformation of a long-abandoned mattress store into the stunning new home of Citizens State Bank in downtown Royal Oak, Michigan. This project exemplifies our passion for turning underutilized properties into sophisticated, high-functioning spaces that elevate both the client’s operations and the surrounding community.

Citizens State Bank envisioned a financial institution unlike the traditional model—one that would reflect the vibrant, creative energy of Royal Oak while providing a premium banking experience. Tasked with making this vision a reality, our team executed a complete overhaul of the space, blending structural innovation with modern design sensibilities.

What once stood as a neglected storefront has now become a high-end boutique bank that reflects quality, professionalism, and a sense of place. From concept to completion, every decision was guided by a commitment to architectural excellence, precision, and long-term functionality.

Construction Highlights:

• Complete waterproofing of the building exterior to ensure longevity and protection.

• Installation of a brand-new roof system to meet current performance and energy standards.

• Upgraded HVAC equipment for optimal indoor climate control and efficiency.

• Leveled the interior floor slab to improve accessibility and structural integrity.

• Reconstruction of the Woodward Avenue right-of-way, enhancing curb appeal and pedestrian experience.

• Installation of a new water service line, ensuring reliable infrastructure.

• Replacement of the existing façade with an all-new storefront window system and pocket windows for natural light and aesthetic appeal.

• Modifications to the exterior building height to support the reimagined architectural design.

• Application of an all-new exterior veneer to give the structure a refined, modern presence.
  

This project is more than just a construction success—it’s a story of renewal and revitalization. By breathing new life into a forgotten corner of the city, Henry Yandt Construction helped Citizens State Bank deliver an exceptional client experience while making a lasting architectural contribution to Royal Oak.

At Henry Yandt Construction, we believe in building spaces that do more than serve a purpose—they inspire, welcome, and elevate. The Citizens State Bank project stands as a proud example of that belief in action.
