Numerous community leaders and SunTrust officials attended the event, the culmination of a three-plus year effort by SunTrust to establish a Pinecrest location.

Oly Perruc, branch manager, was pleased with the event, which gave her a, "great opportunity to meet people. I just moved to Pinecrest myself, and personally, as well as professionally, it has been very exciting."

The Pinecrest branch is the 25th in SunTrust’s Miami-Dade network.
