According to Albert D. Phelps, Inc., the managing and leasing agent for Merritt 7 Corporate Park, EMCOR Group, Inc., a leader in mechanical and electrical construction, energy infrastructure, and facilities services for a diverse range of businesses, signed an early lease renewal and expanded its corporate headquarters at the 1.4 million s/f office complex.
The Fortune 500 company leased 38,650 s/f for a 10-year term on the entire sixth floor and a portion of the fifth floor of Building 301 Merritt 7. EMCOR previously occupied 32,500 s/f.
