According to EastRidge Properties, the owner of 2700 Westchester, Aetna had leased 29,500 sf of space under an agreement that expires at the end of July. An Aetna spokesperson tells GlobeSt.com that the Norwalk location is more central to its customer base, which extends from Westchester to New Haven, and was the main reason behind the move.

In another deal at the 20 Glover Ave. building, owned by Building and Land Technology, the United Way of Norwalk & Wilton is relocating its offices from Wilton to 3,140 sf of space on the third floor. Finally, Centerchem Inc., a chemical company, has expanded its presence by 3,000 sf. The firm, which offers raw materials for research for development to the cosmetic, food and pharmaceutical industries, will now occupy 12,000 sf at the building. CB Richard Ellis' Michael Siegel, Steven Greenbush and Brooke Feder represented Building and Land Technology in all three deals.

Other major tenants at the 20 Glover Ave. building include Health Market, which occupies more than 50,000 sf, and the Peppers & Rogers consulting firm, which maintains its corporate headquarters at the property. It also was the headquarters of the former Caldor Corp. and was completely renovated and upgraded in 2000 to 2001.
