River Bend Executive Center excels with upscale, high-tech properties; With locations in Stamford, Hartford, Middlebury and Logan Township, NJ

River Bend Executive Center was incorporated in 1985. It is situated in a 40-acre park like setting in a prestigious location in Stamford. River Bend gives as much thought to its environment as it does to its infrastructure. Some of the surroundings include jogging paths, a nature pond and meandering rivers that are surrounded by trees, shrubs and flowers. Employees can enjoy their lunch breaks going for a brisk walk or watching a family of mallards grace the river banks. The architecture of the buildings also respects and honors the surroundings. Atriums, a sky dome and multi-windowed stories are just some of the architectural features which open a pleasing eye into the beautiful landscaped surroundings. The buildings are very spacious and provide a comfortable working environment. River Bend Executive Center consists of 12 buildings located in Stamford; this is one of the locations that house Business Continuity Centers. The three other locations are in Hartford, Middlebury, and another located in Logan Township, N.J. The concept of these centers, which grew out of the horrific experiences of September 11th, is a vital one: today's corporations need to have a data back-up and business continuity plan in times of disaster. River Bend's corporate tenants were not affected by the devastating power outage that occurred in August of 2003. The reason they were not affected is because they are housed in River Bend Continuity Center. River Bend's Continuity Centers provide that with a variety of systems that help reinforce one another when disaster strikes. The Secure Isolated Back-up Suites (SIBS) provide data back-up and recovery operations to ensure that companies get back up and running immediately if a catastrophe should occur. Features such as Multiple Fiber Optics supply alternate service routes that ensure uninterrupted communications; back-up motor generators provide immediate standby back-up power and the UPS back-up provides three-phase uninterrupted power supply systems to assure continuous electrical power. It is this foresight and thoroughness which is a hallmark of River Bend Executive Centers' planning. Always anticipating the needs of the corporate community, the facilities were developed to attract the competitive, innovative world of hi-tech. Today's businesses demand the best facilities, support and locations and they know that River Bend delivers. Connections to the leading communications providers such as AT&T/SBC, Cablevision Lightpath, FiberTech, RCN Business Solutions, Level 3 Communications and Verizon/MCI, Group W Satellite, Qwest Communications, Veroxity and Abovenet and satellite links enabled through nearby earth stations using dark fiber connections and line-of-site transmissions are just a start. Attention to detail such as raised flooring to enable easy servicing of equipment and 24/7 individual climate control give an ease of occupancy to their tenants. Round the clock recorded video surveillance and onsite 24/7 maintenance provide peace of mind. Each center is strategically situated near major highways, airports and local transit. River Bend goes beyond its corporate campus; it also manages two additional buildings located in downtown Stamford. 999 Summer St. and 1275 Summer St. are two buildings that consist of medical professionals. They are ideal properties because of their strategic location. 1275 Summer St. is a Health Science Center and is completely backedup by a generator. River Bend also extends its reach to Hartford located across from the Capital of Hartford and it overlooks Bushnell Park. The Capital Center building is also in a key location in downtown Hartford, close to the I-84 and mass transit. In its continued efforts this building is also backed up by generator power to keep its businesses up and running in case of any power loss or emergencies. River Bend Executive Center is now in the process of developing its new Technology Park which will consist of 800 acres. This park is also in a key location in Middlebury and Oxford. Plans include an access road that will link the two complexes and will include a green way which will be open to the public. The Technology Park is conveniently located near the Oxford Airport and close to a major interstate, Rte. 84. Like in the Stamford location, it will consist of open space in a park like setting and will also include the amenities that today's businesses expect.
