Choyce Peterson Negotiates Lease for Forum Group Connecticut’s expansion of their South Norwalk, CT Office

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 Forum Group Connecticut (FGC) (www.forumct.com) to renew and expand their office space at 3 Pine Street in Norwalk, CT. Choyce Peterson Vice President Charlene O’Connell represented FGC in the transaction.

 

When Forum Group was looking to establish its presence in Fairfield County in 2019, they chose Choyce Peterson to help them research the market and collectively identified 3 Pine Street for their new office. Given FGC’s continued growth, combined with its upcoming lease expiration, Jason Witty, Managing Partner of Forum Group Connecticut, reached out to Choyce Peterson again for assistance in leasing more office space.

 

O’Connell surveyed the tenant-requested South Norwalk market for ~3,000sf in office space with an industrial chic atmosphere and easy access to restaurants, shopping, I-95, and the Metro-North train station. After touring numerous buildings in South Norwalk and soliciting proposals from several landlords, an opportunity arose for FGC to lease the entire building at 3 Pine Street. O’Connell then negotiated a new lease including free rent and a partially funded landlord buildout/modification to accommodate FGC’s needs as they expanded.

 

O’Connell commented, “I enjoyed working with Jason to find him new space in the South Norwalk market. In the end, we found the best solution was to expand within the same distinctive building and work with the landlord to create a unique yet functional workspace for FGC.”

 

“Charlene worked very diligently to show me all relevant buildings in the South Norwalk neighborhood that could accommodate our continued expansion,” replied Witty. “I’m thrilled with the creative solution we found where we can stay in the same architecturally interesting building that we love and support our continued growth. I look forward to enjoying our new office while we continue to expand our business and team.”

 

The landlord, M.F. DiScala & Company, Inc. was represented in-house.
