TRAVELERS INDEMNITY EXPANDS LEASE AT STATE HOUSE SQUARE IN HARTFORD

The Travelers Indemnity Company has signed a lease expansion for a total of 391,000 square feet at State House Square in Hartford, Conn.

The expansion, which carries a term of 10 years and six months, consists of a renewal of 181,000 square feet and an expansion of 210,000 square feet.

State House Square, an 844,813-square-foot Class A building, is owned by an affiliate of Norfolk, Va.-based Harbor Group International L.L.C. This signing brings the building’s leased occupancy to 96%.

“The expansion of Travelers solidifies State House Square as the premier Class A building in the Hartford central business district,” said Jordan Slone, Chairman and CEO for Harbor Group International. “Our building is now almost completely occupied, and with blue chip firms.”

David Jakubowski, general manager of the building stated, “We are thrilled that The Travelers Indemnity Company has chosen to dramatically expand their presence here at State House Square.”

We firmly believe we offer Hartford’s most desirable office environment in terms of location, quality, service and amenities. Having a tenant of Travelers’ caliber opt to make its home here with us is strong confirmation.”

Jones Lang LaSalle was the leasing agent on the transaction, with Shawn McMahon heading the team.
