Greenwich Attorneys Office Lease Creates Collaborative Legal Office Environment
The attorneys—Morris Barocas, Michelle Lee Beltrano, and Ella Cohen—had each established successful legal practices throughout lower Fairfield County. Recognizing the potential benefits of sharing office space, they explored opportunities to combine their requirements into a single location that would enhance efficiency, improve client accessibility, and create opportunities for cross-referrals among complementary legal disciplines.
Adam Cognetta, Vice President at Choyce Peterson, was engaged to identify office space in Greenwich capable of accommodating multiple legal practices under one roof. The search focused on Class A and Class B office buildings with convenient access to Interstate 95, strong visibility, ample parking, and handicap accessibility.
After evaluating multiple options throughout the Greenwich market, the attorneys selected 1037 East Putnam Avenue in Riverside. The property offered excellent Route 1 exposure, convenient access to major transportation routes, and a professional office environment well suited to serving clients throughout Fairfield County.
Beyond identifying the right location, Choyce Peterson negotiated a lease structure designed to maximize long-term value for the tenants. The agreement included landlord-funded office improvements, space reconfigurations, renewal options, free rent, and a competitive rental rate. Choyce Peterson also coordinated the timing of planned building and site upgrades—including parking lot improvements and lobby renovations—to align with the tenants’ occupancy schedule.
The result was a lease agreement that supported the immediate operational needs of all three firms while positioning them for continued growth in the Greenwich market.
As Morris Barocas noted:
“Adam was very patient and tactful in his negotiations, both in complying with the needs of three attorneys with three distinct practices, as well as understanding ownership’s motivations. He showed unwavering responsiveness and professionalism, helping us keep on task as we surveyed the market. Ultimately, Adam creatively incorporated lease concessions and renewal options into a fair agreement.”
This transaction demonstrates Choyce Peterson’s ability to navigate complex tenant requirements, coordinate multiple stakeholders, and negotiate favorable lease terms that create lasting value for professional service firms throughout Fairfield County.
