Description:

A 311,187-square-foot office and flex/R&D campus spanning three stories, featuring high-end finishes, surface and garage parking, and a strong amenity package including a fitness center, full-service cafeteria, outdoor seating, and over 40 acres of landscaped grounds with walking trails. The property will be delivered vacant, offering multiple value-add and repositioning opportunities including multi-family or senior care.

Offered at a significant discount to replacement cost, the asset is zoned Industrial Park, allowing office, laboratory, and light industrial uses, with flexible in-place infrastructure to accommodate a variety of tenants. Additionally, ownership may benefit from interim cash flow through a potential short-term leaseback with Duracell, the former headquarters occupant.

The property is strategically located directly off Interstate 84, five miles from a Metro-North Railroad station, 7.5 miles from Danbury Municipal Airport, and within one hour of New York City, New Haven, and Hartford. Nearby Routes 6 and 7 provide convenient access to a wide range of retail, dining, and service amenities.

Situated in Fairfield County, the location benefits from a dense, affluent residential base and access to a highly skilled workforce. The county is home to the largest concentration of Fortune 500 headquarters in Connecticut and maintains strong economic ties to Manhattan, supported by direct highway and rail access and a substantial reverse-commute population.
