330 Railroad Avenue - Greenwich, CTGreenwich, CT Newmark Grubb Knight Frank (NGKF) has been selected as the exclusive leasing agent at 330 Railroad Ave. Richard Granoff of Granoff Architects and partner Jeffrey Mendell of Greenwich Development Partners have acquired the building and have committed to extensive renovations to reposition the property as a 3-story, 25,000 s/f class A office building.
The building at 330 Railroad Ave. was built in 1928, just two blocks from the Greenwich train station, a short walk to retail and dining on Greenwich Ave. and one block from an I-95 entrance ramp.
“Granoff Architects has been looking for a building to call its own for over a decade,” said Granoff. “The right opportunity finally presented itself here in downtown Greenwich.”
The renovation will produce a class A office building with a contemporary style that merges with its industrial roots –a distinctly different offering, as compared to the more traditional suburban office properties in the surrounding submarket. The industrial “bones” of the building will be retained to keep the character and charm of exposed brick and 12-14 foot ceilings. There will be new windows, restrooms, elevator, HVAC, electrical service, plumbing, fiber-optic wiring, LED lighting, 24/7 security, landscaping, indoor garage spaces and even a rooftop solar installation. With LEED gold certification pending, 330 Railroad Ave. aims to be the most environmentally friendly office building in Greenwich upon its completion.
Granoff Architects expects to occupy most of the first floor as its headquarters beginning in January 2017, leaving 17,000 s/f available for lease, including the entire top floor of over 12,000 s/f. NGKF’s executive vice president and managing director James Ritman and managing director Allan Murphy will manage leasing for the property.
