At the asking rent that is $5,614 a month for the first floor and $1,553 a month for the second. Modified gross here means the landlord carries the property taxes, the landscaping and the snow removal; the tenant carries utilities and cleaning. The building is vacant and ready to show.
A whole building, not a suite inside someone else's
Most of what is marketed as office space in Darien is a suite on a floor of a larger building. You share a lobby, a corridor, a bathroom core, an elevator, and a parking field with everyone else in the building, and your name goes on a directory board in someone else's entrance.
This is a different thing. The building sits by itself on its own corner lot, with frontage on two streets, its own front door, and its own parking. There is no shared lobby and no common-area corridor. A visitor parks in your lot, walks to your door, and is in your space. For a practice or a small firm that wants an address people can find and remember, that difference is the whole point.
What the first floor is actually like
The first floor is 1,497 SF at street level with direct entry from the parking lot. It has a vaulted ceiling, a built-in reception counter, a kitchenette, and natural light on three exposures. Measured drawings confirm it is largely open, with only a small central core, so it takes a layout rather than fighting one.
The second floor is 414 SF — one open room with exposed beams and its own bathroom. It works as a private office, a partner's room, a consultation room, or a quiet workroom above the main floor. It can be leased on its own.
The lower level is not part of the offering. It is retained by the owner for storage.
Build it out the way you need it
The landlord is open to partitions, private offices and a reconfigured layout. If you need walls, or need walls taken down, say so before you sign and it can be written into the deal rather than argued about afterwards. The same goes for flooring — carpet instead of vinyl is a conversation worth having early if sound between rooms matters to your work.
How the rent compares in Darien
Two priced Darien office comparables give the context. 1063 Boston Post Road asks $61.50 per square foot plus electric. 19 Old Kings Highway South asks $48.50 per square foot. At $45.00 modified gross, 101 Noroton Avenue sits at or below the market — and neither of those comparables comes with fifteen dedicated parking spaces and a building of your own.
Getting here, and getting out
- 0.2 mi — Noroton Heights station, Metro-North New Haven Line. Stamford is a few minutes up the track; Grand Central is a direct ride.
- 0.3 mi — Interstate 95, Exit 10.
- 1.5 mi — downtown Darien and the Boston Post Road.
- 5 mi — Stamford.
Fifteen spaces on 1,911 SF of leasable area is an unusually generous ratio for Darien. In practice it means your staff park, your clients park, and nobody circles the block or feeds a meter.
