Aetna Relocates Some Operations to Norwalk

NORWALK, CT-Aetna has plans to relocate operations in White Plains to 11,550 sf of space here. The provider of health, dental and disability benefit plans, is expected to move more than 50 people in its satellite office at 2700 Westchester Ave. in White Plains to a portion of the fourth floor at the 230,000-sf Norwalk building by the end of this month.

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.
