RBS Building for Sale; Owner Seeks HQ

GREENWICH, CT-With its sole tenant relocating in 2009, General Reinsurance Corp., the owner of 600 Steamboat Rd. here, has put the 210,000-sf office building up for sale. Staubach officials also report that in addition to selling its 600 Steamboat Rd. property, General Reinsurance is on the market for new headquarters space. The firm is studying possible sites for a headquarters location in Fairfield County and Westchester County, NY. General Reinsurance is also considering remaining at its existing location at 695 E. Main St. in Stamford.

The Staubach Co.’s New York City office is marketing the property that sits on a 4.2-acre waterfront parcel. RBS Greenwich Capital, a subsidiary of Royal Bank of Scotland, has occupied the property since 1995 but is relocating to its new $400-million, 500,000-sf headquarters building on Washington Blvd. in Stamford when its lease expires in 2009.
