Stamford Health Expands With Major Lease In Long Ridge Corridor

STAMFORD, CT — Stamford Health has signed a longterm lease for 65,667 square feet of new office and medical space at 260 Long Ridge Road, representing one of the largest leases in the city this year, according to Building and Land Technology (BLT), the privately held, vertically integrated real estate developer, manager and private equity firm.

The independent, nonprofit health system now occupies a footprit of 112,059 square feet in the Long Ridge corridor. There is also a 46,392 square-foot office at 292 Long Ridge Road.

Located at the verge of North Stamford and the Stamford Central Business District, 260 Long Ridge Road is home to Greenwich Hospital and Yale New Haven Medical Group.

The addition of Stamford Health to the building will bring more patient care services to the Long Ridge Corridor, which is seeing significant economic momentum, supported by new retail establishments and infrastructure upgrades, BLT noted in a news release.

The major lease signing follows the recent addition of Dermatology Physicians of Connecticut, which signed a 5,625 square foot lease at the building this past September.

"We are thrilled to welcome Stamford Health to 260 Long Ridge Road as they bring more patient care services to this vibrant corridor and continuum of care with 260 Long Ridge at the epicenter," said BLT Chairman Carl Kuehner in a news release.

"We share a commitment to supporting the continued momentum in elevating Stamford as a place to live, work and play with an emphasis on community and quality of life," Kuehner added. "This corridor is pivotal to the economic resurgence occurring in the market, which is being aided by the city’s investment in modernizing infrastructure and supporting smart planning. This is an exciting time for Stamford and we’re grateful to play a role in contributing to the many positive things happening in this great city."

Stamford Health Chief Operating Officer Liz Longmore said Stamford Health is committed to meeting the growing health needs of the community.

"We are excited to continue the expansion of our ambulatory network, bringing more programs and capacity to the communities we serve. We are planning to open in phases with approximately 30,000 square feet opening in late 2025," Longmore said in a news release. "The first phase will include relocating some existing outpatient services and medical specialty services so that we can provide more appointment availability and hire additional physicians and advanced practice providers to care for our patients."

BLT noted the recent growth in the area, with openings of Starbucks, Shake Shack and Frank Pepe's Pizzeria Napoletana, and the future development of the Mozaic Senior Living complex.
