Oban BioPharma Establishes Headquarters at 1 Landmark Square, Stamford Choyce Peterson Negotiates Lease

1 Landmark Square, Stamford, CT

NORWALK, CT– Choyce Peterson, Inc. (www.choycepeterson.com), a full-service commercial real estate brokerage and consulting firm, announced the successful completion of lease negotiations on behalf of Oban BioPharma (Oban) (www.obanbiopharma.com), a biotechnology firm, for its new 3,062 square foot headquarters at 1 Landmark Square in Stamford, CT. Choyce Peterson Principal John Hannigan represented Oban in the transaction.

In April 2023, Derek Chalmers co-founded Oban, and as President and CEO of this new company he reached out to Hannigan to handle the establishment of headquarters space, as he previously worked with Hannigan on a headquarters relocation in 2015. After Hannigan led comprehensive building tours across Stamford, they evaluated competitive proposals from landlords vying for Oban’s occupancy. Chalmers ultimately selected a fully furnished, pre-built office at 1 Landmark Square on one of the highest office floors in Fairfield County.

Hannigan skillfully negotiated lease terms, securing a favorable rental rate along with free rent. The suite’s plug-and-play layout features numerous exterior windows with stunning views of Long Island Sound. In addition, the Landmark Square complex boasts a range of amenities, including a fitness center, building conference facilities, indoor parking, gourmet café, full-time security, and on-site ownership. With its prime location, less than a mile from both I-95 and the Stamford Train Station, tenants enjoy immediate access to downtown shopping and dining.

“It was a pleasure collaborating with Derek on this exciting project to establish a new headquarters in downtown Stamford,” said Hannigan. “By focusing on key attributes, we were able to find the perfect balance of office layout, location and amenities, while securing lease terms that align with Oban’s business needs.”

Chalmers added, “Working with John on our new office space was a great experience. He presented me with several strong options in downtown Stamford and successfully negotiated financial and business lease terms that met our company’s goals. I’m thrilled with our beautiful new office and excited to continue advancing our cutting-edge technology to accelerate the development of new medicines.”

The landlord, Reckson, was represented in-house by Larry Kwiat, Senior Vice President, Leasing.
