Los Angeles-based CBRE Group Inc., the world”™s largest commercial real estate services and investment firm by revenue, represented GE Capital in the sale of its treasury headquarters building at 201 High Ridge Road in Stamford.
The building is an approximately 200,000-square-foot office located in the Bull”™s Head area of Stamford, set on 16.5 acres of developable land. It sold for $17 million to affiliates of Steven Wise Associates LLC, which represented itself in the transaction. The building will continue to be occupied by GE Capital.
“It”™s always exciting to bring a prized asset to the market on behalf of a seller and to find a well-matched buyer,” Jeffrey Dunne, a CBRE representative for GE, said. “It”™s a win-win for all concerned and we”™re thrilled about the results we were able to achieve on behalf of GE Capital.”
Dunne and Steven Bardsley, of CBRE”™s Institutional Properties, represented the seller, along with CBRE”™s Robert Caruso, Brent Woodruff and Colin Reilly.
The sale of 201 High Ridge Road comes on the heels of the largest Fairfield County transaction of 2015’s third quarter in which the same team from CBRE represented GE Capital in the sale of 10 Riverview Drive in Danbury. Praxair Inc. purchased the 180,000-square-foot building, set on 13 acres in the Berkshire Corporate Park, for $18 million in order to occupy it as its corporate headquarters in a transaction that closed during third quarter 2015.
