Press Release
Pinnacle Financial Partners opened its new loan production office today in Summerville at Nexton, Charleston's third major job center. The office is located at 1247 Nexton Parkway, Suite 102, in the Home Telecom building. This is the firm's second office in Summerville and 12th in the Charleston MSA.
“Summerville has become an economic center for the Charleston area, and Pinnacle is part of that,” said Debbie Clarke, area manager and commercial financial advisor for Pinnacle in Summerville. “This office will help us reach more people and businesses who want to bank with locals with deep roots in the community. It's always a privilege to serve our clients because we consider them our friends, and the Nexton office will bring us even closer.”
This loan production office will house financial advisors able to serve most banking needs for businesses and individuals. Clarke is based there, with Dawn Robinson and Phillip Wilson joining her as a middle market financial advisor and financial advisor assistant, respectively. The office has space available, and Clarke plans to hire additional financial advisors and support associates to serve more clients in Summerville.
Located on 5,000 acres in the heart of Charleston's I-26 growth corridor, Nexton has been recognized as an international model for master-planned communities, featuring an array of new homes by award-winning homebuilders, as well as luxury apartments, commercial and office space, and destination dining and shopping.
“The Chamber is pleased to celebrate this special occasion with Pinnacle Financial Partners as they expand their footprint in the Greater Summerville area,” said Rita Berry, president and CEO of the Greater Summerville/Dorchester County Chamber of Commerce. “The support they give to the communities that they serve is a great testament to their commitment in making a difference.”

The Nexton office includes offices, a conference room and a lobby. Because it is not a full-service office, it will not have deposit capabilities or an ATM.
