The law firm will relocate its Stamford offices from 400 Atlantic St. to Two Stamford Plaza in May. The firm will complete a build out of the seventh floor space before relocating, bringing the building to 96% occupancy.
Wiggin and Dana chose Stamford Plaza based on the property's extensive amenities, recent renovations, proximity to the Stamford Transportation Center, and highway access. RFR's attention to detail and reputable building management were also key factors in Wiggin and Dana's selection of Stamford Plaza.
