Consultancy firm CBP moving from Stamford to Norwalk

CBP is leaving Stamford — but it isn’t going far. The corporate benefits consultant plans to move its current office at 1100 Summer Street to 535 Connecticut Avenue in Norwalk, the Stamford Advocate reported. CBP, which is now part of the Alera Group as a result of a 2017 merger, will be leasing approximately 10,000 square feet of space in the building for eight years, according to the Advocate. Norwalk offered a more central location for CBP’s employees than Stamford did, the consultant’s head of operations, Rosa Torcasio, told the outlet. “We toured quite a few locations in Norwalk, but 535 Connecticut Avenue offers a cafe, workout facility and transportation to and from the train station, which was a very important factor for us during the decision making process,” Torcasio said in an email. The Real Deal noted in March that 535 Connecticut Avenue had brought on Best Friends Pet Care as a tenant, a move that came only a few months after Hanover Norwalk Investors scooped up five floors in the building. [Stamford Advocate]
