Carbon Capture Machine Trumbull CT Headquarters Lease Provides Turnkey Office and Laboratory Space
Recognizing CCM’s need for a flexible setup in southeastern Fairfield County, John Hannigan conducted a comprehensive search across multiple towns, focusing on spaces that could accommodate both lab and office functions for their headquarters. After extensive touring and encountering a scarcity of existing lab facilities, Hannigan identified a unique opportunity at 60 Commerce Drive—an off-market space soon to be vacated. Leveraging his longstanding relationships and deep market knowledge, Hannigan negotiated a long-term lease for CCM that included favorable economic terms, such as free rent, existing office furnishings and laboratory equipment, as well as prominent signage options. The result was a move-in-ready space with significant cost and time savings for the tenant.
