The Choyce Peterson Tenant Representation Team in Action
Choyce Peterson Vice President Charlene O’Connell structured the original lease with built-in flexibility, anticipating O&G’s potential for growth. When the Connecticut Department of Transportation awarded O&G the next phase of the I-91, I-691, and Route 15 interchange reconfiguration, O’Connell advised O&G to exercise the expansion and extension rights in their original lease. She then negotiated free rent and landlord-funded improvements, ensuring O&G’s Heavy Highway Division could immediately scale up and support the project’s needs. The landlord, Midwood Investment & Development, was represented by David Barnes of CBRE Hartford.
