Metropolitan Bank is one of the first community development banks founded in Oakland. In 1996, the bank purchased an existing office building as its regional headquarters. YHLA was commissioned to renovate the ground floor of the 3-story building into a 2,600 SF branch bank to serve the surrounding community. Additionally, YHLA provided tenant improvements to 16,000 SF of office space on the upper two floors, the top floor serving as Metropolitan Bank's administrative offices.
