JLL has been selected as the exclusive leasing agent for Soundview Plaza, a 180,000-square-foot Class A office property located at 1266 East Main St.in Stamford, Connecticut. The appointment comes as the prominent building transitions to new ownership under Zenith Group, a leading real estate investment firm.
Soundview Plaza is strategically situated in Stamford’s East Side, offering excellent accessibility via I-95.
Ideally located at Exit 9 on the Stamford/Darien border, Soundview Plaza is a fully repositioned Class A property offering tenants an extensive amenity package that includes a recently renovated lobby and atrium,modern fitness facilitywith updated locker rooms, and modern conference center with full AV capabilities.
The property offers landscaped grounds with outside seating and parking for 550 vehicles, 24-hour security and card access, and a newly installed fiber optic high speed Internet access service. Leading tenants of the property include Summer Haven Investment Management, ADP, Equitable insurance company, and workspace provider Regus.
“Soundview Plaza presents a premier opportunity for market-leading firms seeking Class A office space in a prime location and we are pleased to partner with JLL to re-introduce this trophy property to the market,” said a spokesman for Zenith Group, which recently acquired the property from Twenty Lake Holdings.
The property is being marketed by a JLL team led by Executive Vice President Ian Ceppos. Ceppos said, “The Stamford office market continues to benefit from the flight-to-quality trend. As increased leasing activity builds a steady compression in total vacancy for the submarket, we anticipate a great deal of interest from tenants seeking best-in-class space where their business can thrive.”
According to JLL Research, the Stamford office market has rebounded since the pandemic, reaching a milestone in Q4 as total vacancy fell below the 20% threshold for the first time in the post-COVID cycle. Tenants are driving demand for amenity-rich spaces with premier access to transit while trophy buildings have been able to command the highest face rents in the city.
According to Ceppos, Soundview Plaza offers fully furnished turnkey space ranging from 4,000 to 24,000 square feet, including 61,000 square feet of high-end fully furnished space previously built out by WWE before they vacated the property. Said Ceppos, “The new ownership has benefited greatly from high-end buildouts by WWE which they are now able to offer at highly attractive rates as the market continues its forward momentum.
“With a total of 30,000 square feet across the second and third floors, we are also able to offer a building-within-a-building opportunity offering direct access to the structured parking,” added Ceppos, noting that the space could provide an ideal location for medical or academic users.
