The company will occupy this space in late 2022, relocating its headquarters from 250 Park Ave. South in Manhattan.<\/p>\n<p>The 17-acre Shippan Landing is owned by a joint venture of a Rubenstein affiliate and George Comfort &amp; Sons and consists of six Class A office buildings on the Stamford Harbor waterfront and Long Island Sound. The buildings have recently been upgraded with new lobbies, elevator systems and cabs, and HVAC systems.<\/p>\n<p>The recent renovations at Shippan Landing include Harbor Terrace, a new amenity building featuring a caf\u00e9 with outdoor seating and a fitness center\/yoga studio, and Harbor Green, an outdoor courtyard with walking paths and seating areas.<\/p>\n<p>Other amenities include a beer garden, private terraces and patios, sports courts, and waterfront common seating and lounge areas. A private shuttle service connects Shippan Landing tenants to the Stamford Metro-North station.<\/p>\n<p>Companies with offices at the campus include clothing retailer Vineyard Vines, sports and entertainment agency Octagon, and co-working provider Workpoint.<\/p>\n<p>Digital Currency Group was represented on the lease by Michael Mathias of Savills. Ownership was represented in-house by Peter Duncan, president and CEO of George Comfort &amp; Sons, and Dana Pike, as well as by Cushman &amp; Wakefield\u2019s Trip Hoffman, Mike Norris and Adam Klimek.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>High vacancies <em>and<\/em> rents <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Fairfield, Conn., office market is seeing a surge in leasing demand this year, with 1.3 million square feet of new transactions since January, and Greenwich and Stamford are leading that, according to a third-quarter report from Cushman &amp; Wakefield.<\/p>\n<p>Year-over-year, average asking rents in every Fairfield County submarket have increased, to an average of $33.91 per square foot. This is despite high overall vacancies.
