NORWALK, CT-Applera Corp., which was known as PE Corp. until November of last year, will consolidate its offices in Norwalk and Wilton to approximately 51,000 sf of space at the Merritt 7 Corporate Park. The company will move out of its 761 Main Ave. property here as well as leased space at 50 Danbury Rd. in Wilton. In May of last year, the company sold the 30-acre Danbury Road property to the Davis Cos.

The Main Avenue building is owned by Applera and has been on the market for sale for approximately two years, according to company spokesperson Cynthia Griffin. She noted that the company signed a 10-year lease agreement at 301 Merritt 7, a seven-story, 205,000-sf building. Applera will occupy the entire fifth floor and a portion of the fourth, Griffin adds.

The relocation to the Merritt 7 property will involve less than a one-mile trip for its Norwalk workers. The relocation will impact Applera’s 130 employees. Albert B. Ashforth represented Applera in the lease transaction.
