Marc Fisher Footwear LLC has signed a long-term lease for 44,000 s/f, marking a headquarters relocation that brings the company back to its original quarters at Greenwich Gateway at 777 West Putnam Ave. Stephen Banker, managing principal of Newmark Knight Frank, teamed with director Paul Gojkovich III and managing director James Ritman of the firm's Greenwich office, to represent landlord Gateway Park Associates LLC. The tenant was represented by Cushman & Wakefield's executive vice president Jay Hruska and senior director Kevin Foley.
"On behalf of the ownership, we are delighted to have Marc Fisher Footwear return to 777 West Putnam Ave.," said Banker. "The company has grown considerably in recent years, and we are extremely pleased to meet Fisher's needs as it undergoes its second major expansion in just three years. We are providing temporary space on the first floor while its new 44,000 s/f headquarters space is built out on the second floor."
The three-story 777 West Putnam, totaling 130,000 s/f, was constructed in 1977 on 7.8 acres. The property is currently being repositioned as a premier Class A non-CBD property, beginning with major exterior renovations completed earlier this year, according to Banker. Interior renovations will commence this fall.
