NORWALK – Mercury Business Associates Inc., a financial and accounting support services company, has relocated its headquarters to a 2,150-square-foot space at 111 East Ave. from 20 N. Main St., according to the broker Choyce Peterson.
Having previously met during a local Chamber of Commerce event, the team at Choyce Peterson reached out to Michele Johnson, owner of Mercury, regarding her upcoming lease expiration. Given her business’s growth and increase in staff, Johnson was interested in obtaining an update on the Norwalk office market. Johnson appointed Choyce Peterson to thoroughly evaluate the market and lead her and her team on numerous building tours in the Norwalk area.
After considering various offices and assessing multiple offers from area landlords, Johnson selected the semi-furnished space at 111 East Ave.
“Charlene (O’Connell of Choyce Peterson) and her team made the decision to move versus renewing in place easier than I ever could have hoped,” said Michele Johnson, president and owner of Mercury. “By showing me various alternatives and negotiating a competitive lease, I am confident that I made the best decision for my business. My team and I look forward to enjoying our new office space and continuing to grow our business.”
The landlord, Melbourne Realty Co., was represented by Natalie Mazzola and Monica Osorio of Realty ONE Group.
