Victoria Bank & Trust Motor Garage Heliport

The closure was due to economic and corporate restructuring. The heliport was a private asset of Victoria Bank & Trust. When the bank was acquired, the new parent company likely deemed the private heliport an unnecessary operational expense and decommissioned the facility. There is no evidence of closure due to an accident, military conversion, or environmental issues.

The site of the former heliport is the rooftop of the parking garage attached to the Wells Fargo bank building at 101 S Main Street, Victoria, TX. Satellite and street-level imagery confirm there are no longer any markings, lighting, or infrastructure (such as a windsock or helipad) to indicate an active heliport. The rooftop is now used for vehicle parking and to house building infrastructure, including large HVAC units.

The Victoria Bank & Trust Motor Garage Heliport was a private, corporate heliport with local, rather than national, significance. Its ICAO code, US-10101, is an unofficial identifier used by third-party aviation databases, as the facility likely never had an official FAA registration. Located atop the parking garage ('Motor Garage') of the iconic Victoria Bank & Trust high-rise building, it served as a symbol of corporate prestige and utility from the 1960s through the 1980s. Operations were exclusive and infrequent, primarily used for transporting bank executives, high-value clients, or sensitive documents to other branches or nearby cities like Houston and San Antonio.

There are zero known plans or prospects for reopening this heliport. The facility has been fully decommissioned for decades, the original operating entity no longer exists, and the current building owner (Wells Fargo) has no stated need for a private heliport at this location. Re-establishing the heliport would require significant investment in infrastructure, recertification, and addressing modern urban aviation regulations, making it highly improbable.
