WALLINGFORD – Torrington-based O&G Industries will expand to 15,471 square feet and extend their lease at 900 Northrop Road, according to Choyce Peterson of Norwalk.
Choyce Peterson Vice President Charlene O’Connell represented O&G Industries – the largest privately held construction company – in the transaction.
In 2024 O’Connell negotiated a 9,992 square-foot office lease at the same building for O&G’s Heavy Highway Division to accommodate its need for accessible space and parking near their reconfiguration project at the I-91, I-691 and Route 15 Interchange in Meriden.
Recently, O&G’s Vice President John Rouleau reached out to O’Connell when the CTDOT again awarded O&G the next phase of the reconfiguration project to widen the ramps at this major highway interchange. O’Connell immediately contacted the landlord to exercise the lease extension and expansion clauses she had built into the initial lease to accommodate O&G’s new construction project and negotiated free rent and landlord-funded tenant improvement funds in conjunction with the additional space.
“Collaborating with John and O&G’s Heavy Highway Division has been a rewarding experience,” O’Connell said. “Providing this team with ongoing and updated market knowledge has proved beneficial for O&G both during the bid process as well as subsequent office space planning. Establishing dedicated office space for state contractors continues to create value for both O&G and the surrounding business community.”
The landlord, Midwood Investment & Development, was represented by David Barnes, SVP of CBRE Hartford.
