CBRE Group and Fred French unveil improvements at 500 Post Rd.

Westport, CT CBRE Group’s Stamford office, acting as the property’s exclusive leasing agent, and ownership Fred French Investing unveiled the renovated 500 Post Rd. East. The ownership completed a significant capital improvement program that has transformed the property into one of the most technically-advanced buildings in the market.

Ownership devoted resources toward improving all common spaces and building systems, as well as the redesign and replacement of the façade, lobby and restrooms, new window lines, HVAC units, mechanicals and site work. The building also boasts solar power and the capability to track the amount of power being created and saved in real time. In addition, parking has been increased and is available at the rate of 3.4 spaces per 1,000 s/f of space leased. The new lobby features a painting of Compo Beach, painted for the space by local artist Susan Malloy.

“As the exclusive leasing agent, CBRE is delighted to introduce this newly repositioned property to the market. Ownership recently completed a major renovation and repositioning program that will substantially benefit the tenancy,” said Tom Pajolek of CBRE, who along with colleagues Ned Burns and Carter Lovejoy oversee leasing at the class A office property.

“We felt the time was right to implement this property transformation strategy that will help the tenants in our building leverage location with access to Westport retail, banking, conveniences, technology and ample parking,” said Timon Malloy of Fred F. French Investing.
