Doosan Fuel Cell America is splitting its presence across two Greater Hartford communities.
Doosan Fuel Cell America is splitting its presence across two Greater Hartford communities.
The South Windsor-based company, which in 2014 bought ClearEdge Power out of bankruptcy, recently leased 36,000 square feet of office space in East Hartford's Riverview Square, sited along the Connecticut River, a company official said.
David Giordano, a Doosan government relations executive, confirmed the pending move of roughly 200 non-manufacturing employees to Riverview.
About 100 manufacturing workers will remain in South Windsor, where Doosan has been leasing space in two separate buildings on Governors Highway. Doosan will be ceding some of that space as part of the move.
The partial relocation is slated to take place around July, Giordano said, though that could change somewhat depending on planned renovations to the new office space.
Giordano said Riverview Square has some attractive amenities, like a fitness center and full-service cafeteria, that were a draw.
“It's a little bit more about getting into a nicer space,” he said.
Doosan recently won some business from the state, which selected a Doosan fuel cell-powered New Britain data center project for a long-term utility contract. The Energy and Innovation Park would have approximately 20 megawatts worth of fuel cell capacity on-site.
