STAMFORD, CT-Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, in a coup for Connecticut, is moving its headquarters to the Harbor Point redevelopment here. Vacating its White Plains, NY office, the international lodgins company plans to take 800 jobs northeast in January 2012.

“For months I have worked with Starwood executives and my economic development team to make this deal–and the jobs and investments it brings–a reality for the people of our state,” says Gov. M. Jodi Rell in a statement.

Starwood will vacate its current headquarters at 1111 Westchester Ave. in White Plains, NY and take up residence in 250,000 square feet at Harbor Point. CEO of Starwood, Fits van Paasschen, notes in a statement, that there were incentives which helped land the company in Connecticut, saying, “Not only did the State of Connecticut provide meaningful incentives that translate to a savings of 20% per year in rent, but we will also have the opportunity to design office space that reflects Starwood’s leadership in global hospitality, design and brand-building, as well as our commitment to the environment and our communities.”
