Nestlé Waters North America has announced that it will relocate its corporate headquarters from Greenwich, Conn., to Stamford, Conn., in late 2010.

The 12-mile move to an Oracle-owned facility at 900 Long Ridge Rd., Stamford, will result in "favorable economics," as well as more space, improved amenities and a shorter commute for most of the 475 employees at headquarters, according to the company.

In addition, plans call for renovating the Stamford location to meet the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards for green buildings. Nestlé Waters currently has nine facilities built to LEED certification, the most of any U.S. food and beverage manufacturer, according to the company.

Nestlé Waters also indicated its intention to add 25 jobs over the next three years in its headquarters location.--Karlene Lukovitz
