RFR Unveils Transformative Modernization Plans for 300 Atlantic Street
In a significant move that aims to elevate the workplace experience in Stamford, RFR has unveiled ambitious plans for the modernization of 300 Atlantic Street. This initiative is designed to attract and retain top-tier talent by offering an array of contemporary amenities that enhance both the functionality and aesthetic appeal of the office space.
The centerpiece of RFR's plans is the introduction of over 10,000 square feet of new tenant amenities. These spaces will feature a sophisticated tenant lounge, a high-end boutique café, a well-equipped fitness center, and other facilities tailored for collaboration and wellness. This modernization aims to not just improve the appearance of the approximately 300,000 square foot building but also to redefine its purpose as a vibrant workplace in the heart of Stamford.
Located strategically at the intersection of Atlantic Street and Tresser Boulevard, 300 Atlantic is acknowledged as Stamford's premier office destination. RFR's Executive Vice President and Director of Leasing, AJ Camhi, emphasizes the property's prime visibility and prominent position in a modern downtown setting. The modernization is part of a comprehensive strategy to maximize the building’s potential as it sits within a thriving urban environment, with easy access to the Stamford Train Station and nearby restaurants, retail, and residential options.
The planned enhancements are enabled by a recent recapitalization effort by RFR US, a new venture that focuses on expanding the firm’s investments across the United States. This revitalization is particularly timely, as Stamford has seen a rapidly growing residential sector, with more than 10,000 new multifamily units nearby and an additional 2,500 units in development.
RFR's vision for 300 Atlantic also includes high-quality pre-built suites, accommodating diverse space requirements ranging from 2,500 square feet to over 100,000 square feet. Tenants will also benefit from modern walk-out terraces that offer stunning views of Long Island Sound and Stamford’s bustling central business district.
The ground floor's new design promotes seamless interaction between the café, fitness center, and the building's impressive two-story lobby. Enhanced lighting and a refined streetscape aim to transform the visitor experience, creating a welcoming and modern atmosphere for employees and clients alike.
RFR has partnered with a team from Newmark, including professionals James Ritman, Brian Carcaterra, and Benjamin Goldstein, to lead the leasing efforts for this flagship property. The vision is clear: 300 Atlantic will not only foster workplace collaboration but also wellness and community engagement, making it a desirable locale for forward-thinking businesses.
In summary, RFR's modernization of 300 Atlantic Street signifies a commitment to enhancing the work environment in Stamford. By investing in quality amenities and thoughtful design, RFR is setting the stage for 300 Atlantic Street to become a benchmark for modern office spaces in the region, catering to the evolving needs of today’s workforce.
