With more than 40 million square feet of office space, 5,000 hotel rooms, and the corporate headquarters for 25 Fortune 500 firms, Fairfield County has become a nationally recognized office location. Unlike most other suburban locations in the metropolitan New York area, Fairfield County has largely retained its suburban character and natural beauty. The site at 225 High Ridge Road was the last one available for development in the north Stamford area. Developed by Gerald D. Hines Interests at a total cost of $53 million, the first phase of 225 High Ridge Road opened in the spring of 1990, 15 months after the start of construction.
