The Pert Group has leased 23,562 s/f of office space on the second floor at The Exchange. Relocating its Bloomfield headquarters, this move will allow The Pert Group to accommodate its expansion needs. The tenant was represented by Lou Zuckerman of Colliers International. The owner's managing agent, Acre Group, LLC, was represented by Jones Lang LaSalle vice president Gary Schless and executive vice president Christopher Ostop.
"The Pert Group has experienced significant growth over the past two years. To support our talented team and plan for continued growth, it was necessary to find a location that can grow with us," said Carol Boedicker, senior vice president, human resources and administration for The Pert Group. "The Exchange in Farmington is an ideal fit for us. The unique design of the space - as the largest free-standing post and beam building east of the Mississippi - aligns with both our unique personality and our collaborative working environment. In addition, given our aggressive growth goals, moving south of Bloomfield will provide greater opportunities for us to attract the type of research talent that will continue to translate to future success for the company."
The Exchange, 270 Farmington Ave., is located along Rte. 4 directly across from the University of Connecticut Health Center and sits on approximately 15 acres of land. The Exchange is a unique wood structure, three-story 250,000 s/f mixed-use office and retail building with two on-site restaurants.
