87 Post Road East, Westport, CT

Management and Leasing provided by DAR as third party owner.

This historic "flat-iron" building sits in a prominent position at the intersection of Post Road East (Route 1) and Church Lane, one block from Main Street and the Saugatuck River. Built in 1924 as the original home of Westport Bank & Trust Company, the building has been carefully restored to preserve its landmark character while meeting the needs of modern tenants.

The Preservation of a Landmark

In 2005, DAR undertook a painstaking restoration of the building's historic elements. We preserved and refurbished the original exterior masonry and brick facade, the original two-story windows, the terrazzo flooring, and four of the five bank vaults. Two original 10'x12' mural paintings from 1965 by local artist Robert L. Lambdin remain on display, depicting scenes from Westport's history, alongside the original bank vault door. The restoration efforts were recognized in September 2005 when the building was officially designated as a National Historic Building.

Most recently, DAR completed a full restoration and buildout of the Compass space, carefully preserving the historic elements of the property while creating a modern, functional office environment.

Current Tenants

The building is 100% leased and currently occupied by Compass, Pink Sumo Japanese Restaurant, and InFirst Healthcare. DAR provides management and leasing services on behalf of the third-party owner.
