The People's Bank Building, situated at 609 Broad Street in New Jersey, has undergone a remarkable transformation under the stewardship of the Hanini Group. This urban landmark has been renovated to accommodate the administrative offices of the Passaic Board of Education, which now leases five floors within its stately confines. Recognized as the towering emblem of Passaic, this architectural gem stands as the city's tallest and most iconic structure, soaring majestically to 172 feet with 11 stories, a grand testament to its 1931 inception.

What distinguishes this building is not only its commanding height but also its striking visual presence. Adorned with a grand clock and ornate engraved art that gazes down upon Main Avenue, the People's Bank Building exudes a timeless charm. The exterior, cloaked in a combination of brick and limestone, showcases the distinct and refined Art Deco style that has captivated admirers for generations. Beyond housing the administrative offices of the Passaic Board of Education, the building extends its hospitality to a gym and an inviting restaurant, further enriching its role as a vital hub within the city.
