Fairfield County recorded 228 commercial real estate trades in 2025 with a total volume of $1.54 billion and an average deal price of $6.8 million, according to RM Friedland's year-end sales report. This activity spanned across industrial, multifamily, office, retail, and mixed-use property types.

Office sales in Fairfield County reached $408 million in 2025 across 57 transactions, representing a 284% increase in volume compared to 2024. The average deal price rose to $7.2 million, reflecting renewed investor willingness to underwrite larger office transactions according to RM Friedland.

The largest office sale was 680, 734 & 750 Washington Boulevard in Stamford, which sold for $63.35 million ($197 PSF) to Lamar Co. and Real Capital Solutions. Other notable transactions included 50 Danbury Road in Wilton for $24.75 million and 80 Field Point Road in Greenwich for $23.1 million ($751 PSF).

Office investment activity rebounded sharply in Fairfield County in 2025, with total dollar volume increasing 284% as larger transactions returned to the market. The rise in average deal size reflects renewed investor willingness to underwrite scale properties, following a period of limited large-asset activity, according to RM Friedland.

Greenwich reached new highs in office rents during 2025, with Darien and Westport also posting notable rent growth, while leasing volume in Stamford continued to trend upward. These improving leasing fundamentals were reflected in strengthened buyer sentiment and renewed transaction activity according to RM Friedland.

Financing availability improved meaningfully for office acquisitions and refinancings in Fairfield County during 2025, supporting deal execution for assets where financing had previously been a limiting factor. However, underwriting standards remained disciplined even as financing became more available, according to RM Friedland.

The bid-ask spread remained the primary obstacle to office transaction completion in Fairfield County in 2025. Many sellers continued to anchor expectations to prior-cycle pricing, while buyers remained focused on acquiring assets at prices reflecting current capital costs and return requirements, according to RM Friedland.

Looking ahead to 2026, a new cohort of owner-operators is expected to compete in an already active environment, particularly for well-located and well-leased office properties in Fairfield County. Office buyers increasingly re-entered the market in 2025 targeting value-add opportunities where improving leasing fundamentals could drive future upside, according to RM Friedland.
