Charter to Build New HQ in Connecticut

Charter Communications will break ground early next year on a new headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut, it said Tuesday. The 500,000-square-foot, 15-story building will be ready for occupancy in 2019, it said. Charter said it contracted with Connecticut developer Building and Land Technology for construction, with an option to expand the site into a two-building campus. Charter moved headquarters from St. Louis to Stamford in 2012 (see 1210040052). It said it's receiving $10 million in loans and $10 million in tax credits from the state in return for a pledge to add 1,100 headquarters jobs.
