O,R&L Commercial

In the competitive world of commercial real estate, few firms can claim both financial success and long-term stability. Yet, one firm has consistently stood out, surpassing $5 billion in transactions while maintaining deep-rooted relationships with both employees and clients. With a history spanning decades, this firm has built a reputation for integrity, expertise, and unwavering commitment to its people.

Since 1990, O,R&L Commercial has specialized in commercial real estate transactions across multiple disciplines, including commercial brokerage, construction and development. By prioritizing a client-first approach and leveraging deep market knowledge, O,R&L Commercial has successfully facilitated transactions that have shaped many cities and towns throughout Connecticut.

The firm’s 35-year milestone reflects its ability to navigate complex market conditions, secure high-value transactions and adapt to ever-evolving industry trends. The firm’s expertise in negotiating high-value deals has earned it a loyal clientele, including Fortune 500 companies, investment firms, banks, hospitals, nonprofits and retailers.

Some of O,R&L’s more notable transactions include representing Ford Motor Co. in leasing a 227,000-square-foot distribution center in Windsor Locks and representing Alexion Pharmaceuticals in a $100 million biotech lease in New Haven encompassing more than 300,000 square feet.

In the healthcare sector, O,R&L has been instrumental in leasing or developing more than 2 million square feet of medical office. This includes helping Hartford Healthcare expand its footprint of suburban medical centers throughout Hartford County, representing Starling Physicians in a 140,000-square-foot medical sale-leaseback, and brokering the sale of an 82,000-square-foot medical office portfolio in Manchester to Davis Real Estate Services Group for $25.8 million.

One of the most defining aspects of O,R&L’s longevity is its commitment to employee satisfaction and professional growth guided by managing partners Jay Morris and Richard Lee. In an industry known for high turnover, the firm boasts a remarkable record of employee longevity. Many of its brokers and executives have been with the company for decades, fostering an environment of collaboration, mentorship, and shared success.

O,R&L’s commitment to strong relationships extends from its agents and employees to long-term client partnerships. Many businesses and investors repeatedly turn to the firm for its open and transparent approach.

O,R&L represented Diversified Unlimited in the investment sale of a 240,000-square-foot corporate office portfolio in Wethersfield and Southington to Executive Partners BH LLC for more than $29 million. The firm’s work also extends to industrial real estate, representing IRG, which owns over 100 million square feet nationwide, and handling major leases in Connecticut. O,R&L also secured a tenant for Permasteelisa North America’s 330,000-square-foot flex building within six months and leased a majority of the 650,282-square-foot campus at 75 Aircraft Road to 3PL Worldwide.

The firm provides expertise in areas that go far beyond traditional brokerage. O,R&L has a full-service team that can assist with design, construction estimating, due diligence and development. Clients view the firm’s professionals as trusted advisers more than just transactional brokers.

The success at O,R&L stems not only from a rich history but also from the team’s ability to adapt to market shifts. By embracing emerging technologies, data-driven analytics and sustainable solutions, the firm has been able to stay at the forefront in a dynamic industry. With thanks to its clients and staff for being a part of its 35-year history, O,R&L is looking forward to continuing to be an integral part of shaping commercial real estate in the decades to come.
