“We see 8 and 10 Wright Street as being a classic situation where the existing property is substantially underutilizing its special place within a community,” said David Fiore, principal in charge of Marcus Partners’ Metro New York office in Norwalk.

He said Marcus Partners plans a comprehensive renovation to the building, investing about $4 million to provide new, enlarged windows, from just above the floor to ceiling, and redesign and upgrade of the landscaping, parking decks, lighting, paving, entrances, and signage on the site.
