The firm announced earlier this year it had signed a lease to relocate its operations in Stamford to Building and Land Technology's 360,000-sf building that is part of the locally based developer's 900,000-sf Towers office complex.
With the deal, 901 Main Ave. is nearly fully leased. GE Real Estate joins its parent GE Commercial Finance at the property, which relocated from offices in Stamford last year and occupies approximately 90,000 sf of space in the top two floors of the building. Other tenants at 901 Main Ave. include: IMS Health, Carlson Marketing and Building and Land Technology.
GE Real Estate officials say that relocating to the 901 Main Ave. building allows it to enhance interaction and improve communications with GE Commercial Finance. A company spokesman says that approximately 400 GE Real Estate employees will be based in Norwalk.
The firm notes that it is pursuing LEED certification for its new corporate headquarters, which will be housed on three floors of the property located at the junction of the Merritt Parkway and Route 7.
The announcement came the same day the firm reported that GE Real Estate president Michael Pralle had left the company and was replaced by Ronald Pressman, who had been president and CEO of GE Asset Management.
