Cushman & Wakefield today announced the completion of the sale of Merritt 8, a 178,000-square-foot Class-A office property located at 99 Hawley Lane in Stratford, Conn. The building was sold by Tarragon Corp. to Phoenix Capital Partners, LLC for $24.5 million.

The property will be renamed The Pinnacle at Merritt 8 and will undergo a major capital improvement program which will include upgrades to the lobby, common areas, cafe, building entranceways and landscaping.

Andrew Merin, vice chairman, David Bernhaut, executive vice president, Gary Gabriel, executive director and Jose Cruz, senior director of Cushman & Wakefield's Metropolitan Area Capital Markets Group, together with Paul Kauffman and Tom O’Leary, senior director of Cushman & Wakefield Transaction Services represented the seller and procured the purchaser.
