"New York City has long been a cornerstone for us, home to a well-established private client, business owner, and commercial banking base, and one of our most important growth markets," said Mark Pittsey, Head of Private Banking and Wealth, Flagstar Bank. "When we made the decision to open this office, we wanted it to reflect who we are at our core—focused on relationships, rooted in white-glove service, and built around access to expertise. We wanted to create an experience that intersects with clients' aspirations, goals, lifestyles, and missions. We measure ourselves by our clients' success, and this new location reflects what matters most to us: connection, trust, strong relationships, and delivering results."

A Redefined Banking Experience

Located in the heart of Midtown Manhattan at the corner of Park Avenue and 51^st Street, the office spans approximately 20,900 square feet across two floors. It houses the Private Client Office and additional private client groups and is designed to support 28 bankers, with seven conference rooms to accommodate client meetings and collaboration. The Park Avenue Office is led by Ralph Meyer, SVP, Private Client Office Director, who has extensive private and commercial banking leadership experience.
