Massage Envy, one of the nation's largest providers and franchisors of therapeutic massage services, has signed a long-term lease for 2,600 s/f of space at Playhouse Square, a shopping center located at 275 Post Rd. East. This will be the company's sixth clinic in Connecticut and third in Fairfield County.
Jason Wuchiski, senior vice president of RHYS Commercial's retail leasing division, was the sole broker in the long-term real estate transaction. Playhouse Square's landlord, HB Nitkin, currently owns and manages a portfolio of over a million s/f of space in Connecticut and New York.
"Thanks to today's high-stress society, the demand for an accessible and affordable massage clinic has never been greater. Playhouse Square is an excellent shopping center in a very high-profile market. Massage Envy is well-positioned here as it continues to open more locations throughout the region," said Wuchiski.
Massage Envy offers professional and affordable therapeutic massage services with a heavy emphasis on convenience, so that even busy people can maintain a healthy, balanced lifestyle.
Wallingford, CT O,R&L Commercial has completed the $3.8 million sale of a mixed-use investment property located at 33-39 North Main St. and 24-25 Wallace Ave. in the town center.

This may seem self-serving, and I’ll be the first to admit it. But unlike some of the artificial intelligence tools now reshaping our industry, I am fully aware of my own bias. So, hear me out. The rise of AI in commercial real estate is not a distant threat or a speculative headline.
