In the 1950s, one of Cigna's predecessors, Connecticut General Life Insurance Company, was one of the first big companies to abandon cities in favor of a suburban office park. Its award-winning headquarters building was designed by Gordon Bunshaft of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill.
Originally the CG property was 280 acres. In later, more austere times, much of the land was sold off for an 18 hole golf course. Today Cigna occupies 30 acres. MetLife occupies a 1983
former-Cigna building on the site that was previously called the South building.

Still a huge property, Jack!
This building does have the look or a corporate headquarters. Interesting history.
