Commercial real estate in brief

In an unusual instance of a financial company relocating east out of Fairfield County, investment bank Cronus Partners L.L.C. has moved its Norwalk operations to New Haven, while opening an additional office in Boston to give it better access to Massachusetts technology companies.
“Our relocation to New Haven reflects the fact that many of our clients in Connecticut are located between Hartford and New Haven rather than around Stamford,” Jeffrey Rubin, managing director of Cronus, said in a prepared statement. “We are better situated not only to serve them but also to support Boston from New Haven.”
