The Principles of Smart Growth

Create a range of housing opportunities & choices

Harbor Point Is developing 4,000 residential units, correcting a housing supply/demand imbalance. 400 of these units are affordable workforce housing.

Create walkable neighborhoods

Harbor Point's streets were designed by Cooper Robertson, Inc and Sasaki Associates to be pedestrian-friendly, with street-front building entrances, retail frontage, one-way streets, slow traffic and wide, shaded sidewalks.

Encourage community & stakeholder collaboration

Harbor Point has engaged every major constituent and stakeholder in the community.

Foster distinct, attractive communities with a strong sense of place

Harbor Point is building one of Fairfield County's only waterfront communities. The heart of the project is The Square, a waterfront plaza with offices, hotel, shops and restaurants with residential communities centered around two parks extending outward. Yale & Towne is being developed as Stamford's historic district, with its own unique character.

Mix land uses

Harbor Point is an 80 acre mixed-use development consisting of office, retail, residential and a marina. It is truly a live, work, shop, play community.

Preserve open space

Harbor Point is contributing 11 acres of new parkland and providing a public access waterfront promenade.

Provide a variety of transportation choices

Harbor Point is a 5-minute walk from the Stamford Train Station, with 45-minute express trains to New York. Downtown Stamford is one mile away and is accessible by sidewalks, bike paths, park walks, a public jitney and bus system that provides mobility throughout Stamford, reducing air pollution and traffic congestion.

Strengthen and direct development towards existing communities

Harbor Point is redeveloping industrial properties that have been a blight to the community.

Take advantage of compact building design

With the goal of providing housing downtown to encourage urban growth and discourage suburban sprawl, Harbor Point is being built with 50 density units per acre and nearly 100% structured parking, leaving room for acres of open space.
