Choyce Peterson Finds “Perfect” Office for Cadent Energy Partners; 6,589 Square-Foot Space at 4 High Ridge Park, Stamford, Includes View of Lake, Easy Commuter Access and High-End Amenities  

Stamford, CT, Nov. 30, ‘10 -- Choyce Peterson, Inc. (www.choycepeterson.com), a commercial real estate brokerage and consulting firm, today announced the completion of lease negotiations on behalf of Cadent Energy Partners, a private-equity firm focusing on the energy sector. Top executives called the space “perfect” for its easy commuter access, high-end amenities and aesthetic elements. John P. Hannigan and Alan R. Peterson, principals of Choyce Peterson, represented Cadent Energy Partners during an extended search process.

Cadent Energy Partners upgraded from a 4,300 square-foot site in Westchester County to more than 6,500 square feet in lower Fairfield County. The complex, located within ¼ mile of the Merritt Parkway, also provides a shuttle service to the Stamford train station. Amenities include a fitness center, on-site child day care, car-detailing service, building conference room and full-service cafeteria. Perhaps, the most striking element of the new office involves its panoramic view of a lake set amid a landscaped 40-acre park.

John Hannigan, Principal of Choyce Peterson, commented, “Cadent Energy Partners originally came to us in a very forward-looking capacity, with ample time remaining on their current lease, and we engaged in periodic searches of lower Fairfield County commercial real estate until the space at High Ridge Park became available. We then mustered  our resources to ensure the company secured their ideal space at the best price possible for this sought-after class A location.”

Jennifer Cochran, Vice President of Finance for Cadent Energy Partners, added, “We established an instant rapport with John and Alan and felt very comfortable with their firm’s knowledge of regional markets as well as its integrity as an exclusive tenant representative.”

Cadent Energy Partners works with established management teams to build successful companies, create value and generate superior returns for its investors. In addition to providing capital, it serves as a resource base to help executives fulfill their business plan through a long-term partnership.

The landlord of 4 High Ridge Park is George Comfort & Sons, Inc. and RREEF Real Estate, a division of RREEF Alternative Investments, a unit of Deutsche Bank. The landlord’s broker was Steve Baker of Cushman & Wakefield.
