Bankrupt Wall Street banker Lehman Brothers Holdings is shopping the former Stamford headquarters of General Reinsurance Co. through an August auction.
Lehman has hired realty broker Cushman & Wakefield to market the vacant 560,000-square-foot glass, marble and granite office complex at 695 E. Main St. in downtown Stamford.
The 27-year-old property includes 1,400 covered parking spaces.
Lehman, which filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy in September 2008 — a victim of the global financial meltdown — gained title to the property in February 2010, several months after Gen Re vacated its master lease to 300,000 square feet in the complex.
