Stamford, CT (May 2010) - At a grand opening last evening, Building and Land Technology, the developer of Harbor Point, hosted a gathering of local dignitaries to formally "unlock" Harbor Point's first major residential component, The Lofts at Yale & Towne. Built within the renovated factory building where padlocks were manufactured for over a century, The Lofts at Yale & Towne are conveniently located between Connecticut's busiest train station and Stamford's renewed waterfront.
Stamford Mayor, Michael Pavia, upon visiting the Lofts said he was "greatly impressed by the quality and progress of the recreation of this historical structure." He continued, "The combination of the Lofts and soon-to-open Fairway Market are cornerstones in the revitalization of the City's South End."
Carl R. Kuehner III, President and CEO of Building and Land Technology, said his firm was "pleased to be able to preserve this important chapter in Stamford's industrial history. We went to great lengths to rehabilitate this beautiful building. Our architect, CPG Architects of Stamford has worked on other his
toric rehabilitations in Stamford. The result is something we are all very proud of."Though not officially open until last evening, over 60 apartments have already been rented. The 225 loft apartments feature exposed brick and wood, 9-foot windows, up to 11.5-foot ceilings, and high quality finishes. Each unit comes equipped with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a washer/dryer and maple cabinets. Common areas include a fitness center, beautiful lobbies and parking.
Just a short walk from the train, The Lofts are great for the commuter. Across the street from The Lofts at Yale & Towne residents will find restaurants, bars, convenience retail, gyms and Fairway Market, a NYC green grocer. A free jitney service offers easy access to the downtown, the train station and all of the neighborhoods within Harbor Point.
As part of Harbor Point, a pedestrian friendly, Gold Certified LEED-ND community, The Lofts at Yale & Towne offer residents Green Living in an historic structure. The Lofts at Yale & Towne are just 100 yards from the water and are surrounded by 60-acres of parks and recreation space.
The Lofts are part of the larger Harbor Point project. With over 6 million square feet of residential, office and retail, centered on five distinct neighborhoods, Harbor Point is helping to shape Stamford's future. Harbor Point encompasses historic Yale & Towne, Stamford's antiques district with restaurants, cafes, shopping, acres of parkland and a waterfront promenade. The Lofts sit at the heart of Yale & Towne.
