Wachovia Securities, an industry leader in investment and advisory services for individuals, corporations and institutions, has signed an 8,000 s/f lease at 1700 East Putnam Ave. Wachovia Securities will be relocating from its offices at 411 West Putnam Ave. and 1455 East Putnam Ave. to the new space in the fall of this year. William Cuddy, executive vice president, and Budd Wiesenberg, vice president of CB Richard Ellis' Stamford office, represented the building ownership, Related Properties Corporation, in the negotiations. Stephen Banker, managing principal of Newmark Knight Frank's Greenwich office, and Seth Weinstein, managing principal, and Joe Siglin, associate in the Dallas office, represented Wachovia Securities in the transaction. A standout building in a market known for its above-average properties, 1700 East Putnam Ave. offers state of the art capabilities and amenities once reserved for only Fortune 100 companies. Located just minutes from exits 5 and 6 off I-95 and the Stamford and Old Greenwich Metro-North train stations, the property provides easy access to New York City and points beyond, as well as the opportunity for companies to draw from the Tri-State Region's deepest and most diverse labor pools.
