In the early phases of the Covid pandemic the Norwalk courthouse was shut down. Subsequently, even with the resumption of in-person hearings, trials and appearances, all cases bound for Norwalk courts are now tried out of the Stamford courthouse.
While the courthouse was in operation 8-10 Byington place, a short walk away, was the perfect place for a law office. However, with the indefinite closure the 4,200 square foot office building was less useful to Michael Corsello, Esq. and Randy Cohen, Esq. so they decided to sell the property through Choyce Peterson.
“The property’s proximity to Route 7, with its connections to the Merrit Parkway and I-95, makes it one of the most accessible buildings for commuters in lower Fairfield County,” explained Choyce Peterson’s Vice President and Capital Markets Leader, Scott Peterson. “We had offers from multiple buyers.”
The building was ultimately purchased by Rick Tavella, the owner of Rick’s Main Roofing, a local family business in operation for 58 years.
“The closure of the Norwalk Courthouse came as a blow, but the Choyce Peterson team worked tremendously hard, and in the end Randy and I are very pleased with the level of interest the property received,” said Corsello. “The terms of the sale work particularly well as I will remain in the building as a tenant and continue to practice law here as I have for 42 years.”
