Roswell, Georgia – A group of local bankers and finance executives is raising $35 million to launch Georgia Skyline Bank in North Fulton. The bank aims to address the growing need for personalized financial services for small and midsize businesses. Georgia Skyline Bank will be headquartered at 1190 Old Roswell Road, providing essential banking solutions in a high-demand area.
The newly established bank will offer a full range of commercial and consumer banking solutions, including lending, deposit services, and related banking products through affiliated partners. Bank President Ryan C. Floyd highlights that there is limited competition from community banks in these high-growth markets, which presents a clear opportunity for Georgia Skyline Bank.
To enhance customer experience, a tech-forward platform is set to be created to deliver local decision-making and personalized service. This initiative will be backed by an experienced team, including Chief Executive Officer Steve Crowell, who has over 30 years of experience in the banking industry. Crowell previously led United National Bank and Embassy National Bank.
Alongside him, Chief Financial Officer Phil Resch brings a wealth of knowledge with four decades of expertise in finance, operations, and regulatory compliance. Additionally, Chief Risk and Chief Credit Officer Nick Marsit offers 35 years of experience in risk management and compliance, including vital experience with bank launches and IPOs.
The opening of Georgia Skyline Bank aligns with a broader trend in North Fulton, with several retail expansions and new business openings. For example, Buckhead Village is preparing to welcome new high-end retailers, including French furniture designer Roche Bobois this fall. Furthermore, luxury womenswear brand ME+EM from London and New York-based lifestyle brand Hill House Home are set to open by early 2026.
In addition to retail growth, Cole Haan has inaugurated a new 2,018-square-foot footwear and lifestyle store at Lenox Square in Buckhead. The Sub-Zero Group Southeast has also reopened its Atlanta showroom for high-end kitchen products at 3280 Peachtree Road in Buckhead. Meanwhile, Blo Blow Dry Bar has opened in Dunwoody, offering hair treatments and makeup services.
In the spirit of entrepreneurship, YETI has announced plans for a new store at The Krog District in Inman Park, set to open next spring. Meanwhile, Sola Salon Studios will establish its health and beauty concept in an adaptive reuse development in West End, leasing 7,952 square feet for an early 2026 opening.
Community engagement is also being reinforced, as the Council for Quality Growth has announced the recipients of its 16th Annual Community Improvement District (CID) Awards, scheduled for November 12 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Ten Twenty Spring. Furthermore, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Georgia Properties has unveiled a new brand tagline, “Always a Good Move”, emphasizing their commitment to serving clients in real estate.
In healthcare, Peachtree Orthopedics launched AskORTHO, a service providing patients with free live chat consultations regarding injuries or care, further enhancing local health service accessibility. Additionally, CenterSquare Investment Management acquired Presidential Drive, a 62,581 square foot industrial property in Chamblee, which is currently 94% occupied. However, not every business news is upbeat as The Pet Set, a pet care service business, has closed after 50 years due to owner Robert Fawcett’s retirement on September 14.
