As part of our new Net Zero Banking program, Sunrise Banks is highlighting projects that are utilizing loans and other funding options to make energy efficient and other sustainable improvements. This week, we take you inside the 2441 Arts Building on University Avenue in St. Paul - down the block from our Sunrise Banks corporate offices. The former 1930s furniture showroom and warehouse still has many architectural features from the Art Deco era. But it has been updated with many sustainable features. such as energy efficient appliances, low-flow plumbing fixtures, and windows with high-efficiency glass. Crews will add a rooftop solar array later this summer. A back plaza will include a 7,000-gallon storage tank for rainwater buried underneath permeable pavers. 2441 Arts is utilizing several Net Zero financing options from Sunrise Banks. “I had tried to do carbon neutral projects several times, and I was never quite able to get there,” says Colin Oglesbay, owner of D/O Architects and manager of 2441 Arts. “But having tools like Net Zero Banking will make a lot more projects possible.” Learn more about Net Zero Banking on our Stories from Sunrise Blog: https://bit.ly/3WJcG0C Member FDIC.

Enrique "Rick" Vazquez is known at Sunrise Banks as one of our dedicated Mortgage Loan Officers. But when Rick isn’t helping prospective homeowners secure a mortgage, you may find him patrolling the grounds at the Minnesota State Fair! In addition to his role here at Sunrise, Rick works as a reserve supervisor for the State Fair’s police department. 2024 will be Rick's 11th year serving on the State Fair law enforcement staff. “When you are on the fairgrounds with officers, a lot of people come up to you and thank you for what you’re doing,” he says. “That’s really positive that you can get that feedback from the general public.” Now on our blog, you can read more on Rick's story, including a very special performance he gave on the State Fair's Grandstand stage! https://bit.ly/4fRfrWz
