LEGO TO EXPAND NORTH AMERICAN HEADQUARTERS IN CONN.

ENFIELD, CONN. — LEGO plans to expand its North American headquarters in Enfield. The Danish toy maker will build an additional 80,000 square feet within Enfield Business Park that will house direct-to-consumer retail operations, finance operations, consumer services and facilities management. The new space will also feature an indoor atrium/garden and a gathering place for meals, meetings and social functions. Construction will begin in the coming weeks and be complete by March 2011. LEGO has used Enfield Business Park as its North American headquarters for the past 35 years. Up until a few years ago, the park also housed the company's manufacturing and distribution operations, which have since moved overseas.
