WWE has put its former headquarters building up for sale at 1241 E. Main St. in Stamford, just north of Interstate 95's Exit 9. The company purchased the property in the early 1980s, with the building constructed on the site. WWE's former headquarters have six floors of more than 90,000 square feet. The company has set the sale as listed price "subject to offer," while for a 2023 appraisal, the Vision Appraisal database set the building's value at $18 million. To that end, the NYC brokerage firm Newmark is overseeing the sale.
With WWE opening a new headquarters in downtown Stamford, the E. Main St. property is no longer needed as part of company plans. The new headquarters at 677-707 Washington Blvd. includes over 400,000 square feet spanning a 13-story office tower with a seven-story pavilion featuring production space. More than 800 people will be working on the new location, and it will feature a 30,000 square-foot production facility with five studios, WWE announced.
E. Main St. has long been home to WWE, but in recent months flags no longer have flown atop the building and little activity has been seen inside its parking garage. It still has a bunch of WWE signage on it, but it is being advertised as being "ripe for development into anything from residences to research and development facilities and educational uses." Stamford has had other office complexes in the city that have been redevelopments approved over the last few years, so that suggests that the former WWE headquarters are likely to be headed down the exact same route.
Though a broker from Newmark confirmed communication, no further comment has been provided, while WWE has yet to respond to inquiries at the time of this reporting.
