NEW YORK CITY—Merritt 7, a six-building, 1.4 million square foot, Class A office park in Norwalk, CT received $100 million in new financing. On 22 acres along the Norwalk River, Merritt 7 comprises six buildings along Route 7, less than one-half mile north of its intersection with the Merritt Parkway/Route 15, and less than three miles north of Interstate 95.

The Clarion Properties affiliate asset offers on-site amenities such as shuttle service to the Merritt 7 Metro-North Railroad Station, a fitness center, conference centers, car care, two full-service cafeterias, a Starbucks and a salon. In January of this year, Hearst Connecticut Media Group signed a long-term, 30,251 square-foot lease at Merritt 7. With 97% of the premises leased, other major tenants include General Electric, FactSet Research Systems, Datto, Frontier Communications and Xerox.
