VHB relos to Wethersfield’s Putnam Park tower

Vanasse Hangen Brustlin Inc. has exited its satellite Middletown office for larger quarters in Wethersfield's Putnam Park Office Center.

The Watertown, Mass., realty design-planning-environmental services vendor completed its move Feb. 3 of some 60 staffers into 12,915 square feet on the tower's second floor at 100 Great Meadow Road, overlooking the Connecticut River and the Putnam Bridge (Route 3).

VHB moved from 54 Tuttle Place to be nearer to its private, public and municipal clients, many of whom are in Hartford, spokeswoman Julia Hamilton said in emails.

Meantime, VHB's pavement-materials laboratory stays for time being at Tuttle Place, but moves to Middletown's 14 Industrial Park Place, just off I-91, at a future date, Hamilton said.

In Connecticut for more than 25 years, VHB moved partly because landlord 100 Great Meadow Associates LLC refreshed the 155,645-square-foot edifice, VHB engineer Gordon Daring said.

In 2012, Rhode Island lender Washington Trust refinanced a $10.5 million mortgage for Great Meadow, proceeds funding part of the building's rehabilitation.
