NORWALK, CT– Choyce Peterson, Inc. (www.choycepeterson.com), a full-service commercial real estate brokerage and consulting firm, announced the successful completion of lease negotiations on behalf of CFGI, LLC (www.cfgi.com), a leading global accounting and business advisory firm, for its new 3,457 square foot (SF) office space at 1 Landmark Square in Stamford, CT. Choyce Peterson Principal John Hannigan represented CFGI in the transaction.
When CFGI’s client base increased and consequently expanded their local team, Kit Thorpe, Managing Partner of the Stamford office, was tasked with obtaining a larger office space for their Fairfield County-based employees. Through a mutual contact, Thorpe reached out to Hannigan asking for assistance in finding quality space in the Stamford central business district where they could be walking distance to downtown and close to both I-95 and the Metro North train station.
Hannigan conducted a thorough search for space in Stamford and led the CFGI team on numerous building tours. After evaluating multiple proposals from landlords competing for CFGI’s occupancy, they chose a partially furnished pre-built space at 1 Landmark Square on one of the highest office building floors in the city of Stamford. Hannigan then expertly negotiated a lease including an attractive rental rate and free rent. The plug-and-play layout of the suite with an extensive amount of exterior windows, presents spectacular views of the surrounding area and Long Island Sound. Additionally, the Landmark Square office complex offers many first-class amenities including a dedicated fitness facility, building conference center, indoor parking, onsite gourmet café, full-time security and on-site ownership. With 1 Landmark’s central location less than a mile from I-95 and the Stamford Train Station, tenants have immediate access to downtown shopping and restaurants.
Hannigan commented, “It was a pleasure to work with CFGI on this exciting project to establish a larger office in downtown Stamford. By prioritizing particular attributes, we found the perfect balance of office layout, location and amenities, while obtaining lease terms that fit CFGI’s business needs.”
“It was great working with John on our new office space,” replied Thorpe. “After showing us several space options in downtown Stamford to consider, he negotiated financial and business lease terms that met our company’s goals. We are thrilled with our beautiful new office and look forward to continuing to build our client base in this area.”
The landlord, Reckson, was represented in-house by Larry Kwiat, Senior Vice President, Leasing.
