Representatives of Cincinnati-based Fifth Third Bank will seek approval from the Punta Gorda Development Review Committee for plans to build a 2,400-square-foot branch at 1225 Tamiami Trail. The site, located between West McKenzie and West William streets, is the former location of a SunTrust Bank branch.  

According to project plans sent to the city, the current building will be demolished, and a single-story Fifth Third Bank branch will stand in its place. Assuming approval, the branch is expected to open in the second half of 2025, a banks spokesperson said. 

This new branch is part of an expansion by the financial institution, which opened 26 Florida locations over the past two years with 25 more projected for 2025.
