Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc. has reportedly completed the relocation of its corporate headquarters from White Plains, NY to Stamford’s Harbor Point, bringing more than 800 jobs to the area.

As per a press release, the global hotel and leisure company has moved into its new, 290,000-square-foot, LEED-certified space at One StarPoint (333 Ludlow Street), a new, two-tower office complex on Stamford’s South Side, along the waterfront, just minutes from downtown.

"Not only does this move to Stamford make great business sense, but it also provides the opportunity to design office space that is illustrative of Starwood's leadership in global hospitality, design and brand-building, as well as our commitment to the environment and our communities," said Frits van Paasschen, President & CEO, Starwood Hotels & Resorts, in the release. "Our new home base is a great showcase for Starwood and our nine brands.

Starwood Hotels & Resorts is one of the largest hotel operators with 1,071 properties and 145,000 employees in 100 countries and territories. It owns the St. Regis, The Luxury Collection, W, Westin, Le Meridien, Sheraton, Four Points by Sheraton, Aloft and Element brands.

Starwood’s plan to relocate to Stamford was first announced in 2009.

In November Building and Land Technology submitted revised plans to build a hotel consisting of twin 22-story towers at the tip of Washington Boulevard and overlooking Stamford Harbor, as part of its ambitious Harbor Point redevelopment project, a $3.5 billion mixed-use development project spanning 80 acres and multiple sites that began in 2008.
