Two new tenants have committed at Highpoint Corporate Center in Fairfield, leasing a combined 21,500 square feet at the 162,000-square-foot office complex on Route 46.
In a news release, agents with Colliers International said Fusion Telecommunications International signed a 15,000-square-foot lease at the property at 695 Route 46. The tenant, which offers cloud solutions for small, midsized and large businesses, will relocate its regional office to the building from nearby Wayne.
The Colliers leasing team of Richard Mirliss and Alex Vitro, which oversee leasing at the property, represented the landlord in the deal. J.C. Giordano and Tim Lohmann of Avison Young served as tenant brokers.
The other new tenant, Acuative, leased 6,500 square feet and will relocate its headquarters to Highpoint from another local address, Colliers said. The firm provides IT services and solutions for clients in the service provider, enterprise, finance, retail and public sectors.
Michael Tesser and Ryan Haggerty of Colliers International represented the tenant.
The deals add to some 50,000 square feet in leasing activity brokered by Mirliss and Vitro since their appointment to market Highpoint Corporate Center in 2016. That includes attracting eight new tenants and arranging an extension and expansion for a long-time occupant.
Mirliss attributed the success to a recently completed, building-wide upgrade initiative combined with affordable, flexible lease terms, the news release said. Ownership renovated Highpoint Corporate Center’s four-story atrium lobby and common areas, while introducing new amenities such as a café and a fitness center with locker rooms and showers.
The landlord is also planning a new shared conferencing center.
“Ownership recognized the ability to position Highpoint Corporate Center as the Fairfield submarket’s best choice for attractive accommodations with the amenities sought by today’s tenants,” Mirliss said. “The ability to offer superior lifestyle features and market-beating rents has driven a lot of activity and ongoing interest.”
