Stamford, CT Newmark has arranged a 10,573 s/f lease for Guggenheim Partners at First Stamford Pl., a class A office campus. The transaction marks the company’s expansion and relocation of its office in Darien, Conn. Newmark executive vice president and managing director James Ritman, executive managing director Gregory Frisoli and managing director Benjamin Goldstein are the exclusive leasing agents at the property.

Savills and Bradford Allen represented the tenant in the lease transaction. 

First Stamford Place comprises three architecturally similar mirrored glass office towers – 100, 200 and 300 First Stamford Place, which total 778,271 s/f. The campus sits on 15 acres, at Exit 7 off I-95 and near the Connecticut turnpike, the major thoroughfare connecting New York City with the New England States. Amenities at the campus include a new tenants-only fitness center with equipment and locker facilities, a renovated and expanded kitchen and dining facility, upgraded common area corridors, renovated restrooms and elevator cabs, a new building management system, a structured parking garage with direct access to the buildings and around-the-clock security.

Dating back to the 1800s and founded by the renowned Guggenheim family, Guggenheim Partners is a financial services and alternative asset management company. The company’s relocation to First Stamford Pl., where it secured an 11-year lease, was due in part to the building’s proximity to the train, access to I-95 and prebuilt office space solutions.

“This transaction showcases Stamford’s continued growth as a financial services hub,” said Ritman. “We are pleased to have secured a tenant of Guggenheim’s caliber on behalf of ownership at First Stamford Pl.”
