Avison Young has been selected as the exclusive office leasing agent for Merritt 8 Corporate Park, a 175,000 s/f, class-A office building in Stratford, CT.
The building is owned by Merritt 8 Owner LLC, a joint venture between affiliates of Square Mile Capital Management LLC and Mountain Development Corp.
The Avison Young team of principal Sean Cahill, Bill Anson and Lori Baker, based in the firm’s Fairfield/Westchester office, will manage leasing for the building’s office space on behalf of ownership, which has commenced the design process for major upgrades to the property’s cafeteria, bathrooms, conference center, fitness facility and three-story atrium lobby. The improvements are slated for completion by summer 2015.
“With its tranquil setting, superb amenities and ultra-convenient location at the Route 8 and Merritt Parkway interchange, Merritt 8 Corporate Park is an ideal destination for companies that value corporate convenience and a quality work environment,” said Joseph Coci of Mountain Development Corp.
“As we embark on a comprehensive program to modernize the building’s common areas, we are confident that the Avison Young team has the diverse expertise and market knowledge necessary to lure high-caliber tenants to the building.”
Avison Young is currently marketing spaces ranging from 4,134 sf to 47,567 s/f at the building, which is known for its strategic location, full-service amenities package and power capabilities.
In addition to the cafeteria, fitness facility and conference center, Merritt 8 Corporate Park features on-site property management, lobby concierge, and structured parking (4/1,000 ratio) with a covered walkway to the building.
“This building truly provides tenants with the best of both worlds,” notes Cahill. “It is situated in a picturesque setting with several acres of manicured gardens, ponds and mature trees, yet it is close to public transportation, and is surrounded by almost every convenience one could imagine.”
